This is a terrorist attack like 911 , Mrs. Lee.

Maybe he didn't have enough breakfast.

That drives someone crazy?

That's going too far, Mr. Choi.

I'm sure something ticked off Gang-suk.

But he didn't have to be so rude!

Gang-suk can be cynical,

but he wouldn't have acted like that without a reason...

What darned reason...

You swear just like the rest of us.

That's so unexpected.

Please stick to the subject!

I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation.

Mrs. Lee, I've worked hard to maintain my reputation

as a trustworthy person.

But after today's disaster,

my reputation will take a big hit.

Gang-suk's home.

Please, listen to his side of the story...

The damage has been done, I don't see the point.

I told you what Mrs. Shin's like, right?

She kicked many housewives out of the Noblesse Club.

So how should I apologize?

I heard she likes celadon porcelain...

Why were you so rude to that girl?

Were you irritated by the food you ate?

Hello.

Mr. Choi's a bit upset.

Mrs. Shin threw a fit in front of him...

I didn't figure you as a thoughtless person.

I'm thoughtless, but that girl was brainless.

What you did is absolutely atrocious, President Lee.

How dare you do that to...

Mr. Choi. Yes.

Does anyone pay you as well as my mother does?

Talking about money is crude.

I'm not talking about...

Please refrain from looking down on us.

Excuse me?

I ripped her a new one because she talked about her status.

Money is power, and who says otherwise is a hypocrite.

How crude!

President Lee, that's so rude.

There's only one king in the jungle.

You only have to obey the strongest one.

I don't understand...

Think about it.

Think about whom you should obey.

Then you'll treat my mother with more respect.

Do you understand me?

I'm sorry about earlier...

Please don't set me up with under qualified girls again.

Bye.

What's wrong? Are you that thirsty?

You're not leaving? No.

Why did she pay then?

You're an hour late.

I'll cover you for an hour tomorrow.

I had a date today.

It's so slow.

Maybe we'll get fired at this rate.

She paid for her drinks so far.

You're here again.

Aren't there any seats in the library today?

There aren't any.

Can I take your order?

Cheesecake, strawberry juice, fruit parfait...

Did you starve?

Sorry?

Why are you ordering so much food?

You said you might get fired...

So you're buying all that food for my sake?

No, I'm starved.

So many weirdoes nowadays...

What are you doing?

I'm bored.

Then read a book.

lf I read, I'll fall asleep.

Like father, like son.

Grandpa. Yes?

You're supposed to keep that to yourself.

You heard me? Yes.

Sorry, I didn't think you could hear me.

May I go play video games on Uncle Soo young's computer?

Just keep rolling around instead.

That's better for you.

Don't do it to spite me.

Grandfather.

Yes.

I'm home.

What are you doing, Dong-dong?

He's exercising.

I brought you a gift, Dong-dong.

A gift?

I thought you might be bored,

so I bought you some comic books.

You're the best, Aunt Dan-ah.

Aunt Dan-ah. Yes?

When I grow up,

I'm going to marry someone pretty and nice like you.

I'm so touched, Dong-dong.

I think this is enough data to present to Chairman Lee.

That old fart Lee Chun gab is just a paper tiger.

Lee Gang-suk's the problem.

Don't make fun of old people.

I'm not making fun of you.

Don't do that, Father!

What did I do? What's wrong with you?

It's nothing, but it just breaks my heart...

Father. What is it?

I understand how you feel.

Even minor things people say bother you, right?

That happens when your heart's broken.

Don't lose hope, Father.

You have to stay strong and live on.

I'm tearing...

He was in the acting club in college, right?

But he never had a role with lines.

Now he does.

You boys go on ahead.

You have an engagement?

Yes. Father.

What is it now?

Have a good time.

We should keep quiet, right?

What do you mean?

Director Lee's illness.

It bothers me that we can't really do anything.

We don't really know whether she's ill or not.

Didn't you see Father's reaction earlier?

When?

He was upset when I said ''old fart.''

He wasn't.

You kept calling Chairman Lee an old fart.

He just wanted you to stop being rude.

Exactly.

He normally wouldn't have said anything about my attitude.

But the way he reacted today tells me something's up.

The woman he loves is dying, thus he's in a gloomy mood.

Stop dreaming.

I'm not as smart as you,

but I'm really in touch with my emotions.

An emotional person like me understands Father's sadness.

Grandpa. Yes?

You haven't finished the second volume?

I'm not even halfway through.

Why do you take so long?

I just do.

Grandpa. Yes?

Isn't it bad for adults to read comics?

No, it isn't.

I want to read the second volume.

Read the third volume, I let you read the first volume.

Then I'll miss a chunk of the story.

So wait.

But I want to read the second volume.

Be quiet, I'm trying to read.

Grandfather, we're home.

Welcome home.

What's Grandfather doing?

Use your eyes.

Be polite to your dad.

See, I warned you about that.

Please use your eyes, Dad.

Are you reading a comic book, Grandfather?

I am.

That's for kids like Dong-dong.

It isn't that childish.

I want the second volume, but Grandpa's not even halfway.

Grandfather, Dong-dong wants the second volume.

Tell him to wait.

He said wait.

That's dirty, Grandpa.

That's not polite.

That's mean, Grandpa.

What's so funny?

Grandfather can't look cool with Dong-dong around.

Are they still quarreling over the comic book?

It's a showdown in there.

I feel bad about your divorce,

but how nice that Dong dong's keeping the Chairman company.

Grandmother, I'm not as irresponsible as I seem.

Who else would've thought about having a kid

to keep our grandfather company?

You did well.

Where's Dan-ah? in her room.

What are you doing?

I'm sewing.

You didn't hear me come in?

I heard you.

You should've come out and greeted me.

I'm not your wife.

True.

Whom are you making that for?

It's for Grandfather.

What about me?

That's unfair.

Why don't you make one for your recently divorced brother?

What's your problem?

I feel lonely now that winter is here.

Please sew me an outfit too, Dan-ah.

You can't wear it to work.

Sure I can.

I'd be very fashionable to wear a traditional outfit to work.

I don't see a problem with that.

That's ridiculous.

Please make me one, Dan-ah.

Gross. Stay back.

I won't leave unless you say yes.

Dan-ah. Yes, Soo young.

Do you have the Korean language pack CD?

Yes, did it crash on your computer?

You know old computers.

Please make me one, please?

What's wrong with him?

He's such a bother.

Say you'll make me one.

What does he want you to make?

He wants me to make him an outfit.

An outfit?

He wants a quilted outfit.

Is that right?

Would you make me one before you make his?

I'll make yours after Grandfather's.

Soo young!

Don't cut in line by using your seniority!

Thanks, Dan-ah.

Sure, Soo young.

I'm going on a hunger strike!

Good, we'll save on rice then.

I told you to pick a girl up to Gang-suk's standards!

It's not entirely a loss.

Even though Gang-suk bombed the date?

Mr. Choi learned his lesson.

He was yapping away about how we made a big mistake,

but Gang-suk told Mr. Choi that I'm the one he should obey.

What are you talking about?

He said more, but I can't remember everything...

Something about the jungle and obedience...

What?

Honey, your shirt. Forget it.

Father, how was golf?

Forget that.

I heard you bombed your date.

She was way under qualified.

There's no girl who meets your standards.

You shouldn't have been so rude.

The important thing is obedience.

What the heck are you saying?!

Mr. Choi left after he was scolded by Gang-suk,

saying that it'd be hard to find a good match for Gang-suk.

He meant he wasn't going to try anymore, right?

That's not it.

He said he'd still try to find a girl

who meets Gang-suk's standards.

Okay.

Tell me what you said. Your mom can't explain to me.

Not much.

I asked him to consider who his best client is.

That's not what you said.

You mentioned the jungle, and the strong...

It's the same thing.

He said it's the same thing.

My ears work fine.

But you should've still paid for her meal.

I heard she went home and cried a river.

A meal doesn't cost that much.

That's true. That was very mean.

She mocked our scrap collecting background.

What a wench!

Exactly what she was.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

It wasn't easy.

But I'm worried if you'll ever find a girl you could like.

I'll live alone then.

That's crazy!

You'll be sinning against all the girls

who are dying to be with you.

Don't do that.

I suppose you're right.

Good, don't.

I thought about living alone when I was young,

but girls just wouldn't leave me alone.

That's true.

I remember Eun-ja got fired

because she snuck out some wine for you.

It wasn't just Eun-ja, but Sook-ja and Kyung-ja too.

All their names end with ''ja.''

Even mother's name is Young-ja.

Eh? That's true.

Ja is a common name for women in those days.

Not just ''ja.''

Remember Mi-sook and Young-sook?

Now it's ''sook?''

Shows you how popular I was.

I had to fight them all to claim your father.

You pulled out all of Young-sook's hair.

Not only that. I broke Mi-ja's wrist.

Whenever you showed up in town with your scrap cart,

all those wenches would drool...

Your arms were so muscular...

Is this story rated R?

I'll tell you the uncut version at the sauna.

Don't!

Don't tell him about what happened in the storage room.

I'm just waiting for time to pass me by.

The fact that I can't see my beloved...

and that I still love him...

It hurts me.

What else do you want?

Cheesecake, please.

That's your fourth slice. You don't even finish them.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry, but it's a little depressing.

Sorry?

I think you're waiting for someone,

but you have to know when to give up.

Some people just won't come.

I see.

Gang-suk. I'm in the library studying.

I have a lot to study.

I'll be late.

I'll try to come home early.

Since you're finished, get going now.

I'll be gone to the site for 2 days.

Good.

I'll have it finished.

Don't work too hard.

I didn't mean work.

I'll have the surgery while you're out of town.

I don't want to disturb you.

Young-in.

Suk-ho, I told you about this from the beginning.

Eun-joo won't do it for me,

so I'll go to a different hospital.

Please give it more time.

I just can't take it anymore.

I'm the type who doesn't like to waste time.

Young-in, just a little longer...

I'm really sorry.

I love you, so I do want to go along with your wishes.

But this is just something I can't do.

I didn't know I was such a coward,

but it really scares me to have a baby.

lf you want to leave me, then I'll let you go.

I know it'll be hard to forgive me.

But I just can't do it.

Please wear a ladylike outfit.

I got it.

I said I'll try, so stop yapping.

Go home.

We have to talk about what you'll wear tomorrow.

I'll think of something, so leave.

We have to put our heads together.

What's the use? See you tomorrow.

Aunt Joo-jeong.

Look who's here.

I just wanted to have a drink.

Can I get a shot glass?

Yes.

That's your problem.

Sorry?

You use good manners even with a 10 year younger aunt.

I can't let my elder pour her own wine.

So you can't run away.

It's just the way I am.

It doesn't bother you?

Sorry?

That you have to call a much younger woman your aunt.

You've never wanted to smack me?

Why would I want to?

When I was a kid,

my friends teased me when you called me ''aunt.''

But I wasn't ashamed, I thought it was interesting.

I thought you were really weird.

Did you? It's not a big deal.

That's just the family hierarchy.

lf you really didn't mind,

you wouldn't be drinking alone like this.

I can't disagree with you.

What do I do, Suk-ho?

Sorry?

I thought it was interesting before,

but it makes me sad now.

We're home.

Did you drink?

Yes, we had a heart to heart discussion.

I feel sorry for President Ha for running into you.

Suk-ho and I are home, Brother.

It's late, Grandmother. Get some rest.

Good night.

Bring your father some honeyed water.

He had a lot to drink.

Okay.

President Ha has been drinking quite often recently.

How long does it take you to do that?

I'm not getting any better at sewing.

That's not the only thing.

Grandmother.

It's strange how your mind's willing,

but your body's not.

Grandmother...

What are you crying about?

You don't understand.

Do you know whom I envy the most?

I suppose it's Dan-ah.

Since you know, you shouldn't be so mean.

Dan-ah's good at housework even without trying very hard.

I'm not asking for much.

The only thing I want to do well is housework.

But why can't I do it well?

You were just born that way.

It can't be helped.

You don't understand.

I told you to sew it on the inside.

But I tried.

I'm cursed.

That's a bizarre curse you have.

Young-in.

lf you really want to have the surgery...

Please find a good hospital.

Please, Young-in.

At least do that much for me...

Father.

Come in.

I brought you some honeyed water.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I overheard what you said.

You tried everything?

There isn't anything more you can do?

I tried my best, but she didn't budge.

She's getting the surgery tomorrow.

Can I read the third volume?

I haven't finished it yet.

You have school tomorrow.

Early to bed, early to rise.

I'll wake up early.

Not if you stay up late.

I can wake up.

Sleep.

Let me finish this chapter.

You've been reading the same chapter over and over again.

But it's fun.

Is this revenge?

No. Guan Yu is really cool.

Did Guan Yu do something cool?

You can read it later.

Of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei,

I like Guan Yu the best.

Okay.

I think Guan Yu's the coolest.

Okay.

Dong-dong. Yes?

I'm saying I agree with you.

So what?

Don't you want to give me the third volume?

I don't.

Your dad's not as mean as you...

Why's the Chairman so slow to get up?

Grandfather's not up?

Is he not feeling well?

Grandfather. Dong-dong.

What in the world is happening...?

Grandfather. Dan-ah.

Grandfather's not so charismatic anymore, is he?

Mind your manners.

I couldn't sleep because of Grandpa.

What did you do that Dong-dong couldn't sleep?

Just go to sleep.

That hurts.

Grandpa was trying to take the third volume...

We're going to the construction site

with Chairman Lee and his son.

Show him things as they are.

Grandfather, we have to act as if there's more to it...

It's our loss if we're honest with such shrewd people.

That young fellow Lee Gang-suk told me

he's a cold blooded businessman.

Did you meet him on your own?

We don't have to bend to his style.

Just show him that we're really just about building homes.

I understand.

That Lee Gang-suk's strange.

When you asked, he treated you like crap...

Dong dong's here.

He treated you badly.

But he didn't ignore Grandfather's request.

I suppose he respects elders.

Then he wouldn't have said ''cold blooded businessman.''

Scratch that.

I bet he ran his mouth in front of Grandfather

because he had the upper hand.

Run away from home?

Yes, I wanted to find my mom.

Dong-dong. But I shouldn't.

lf I do, Grandpa's going to take my Three Kingdoms comic books.

You know something, Aunt Dan-ah?

Know what?

Grandpa's really dirty.

That's not polite.

He tried to read the third volume after I fell asleep,

so I stayed up.

Anyway, I'm glad you're not running away.

It's bulldog's off day?

Bulldog? She went to see her family.

Did something happen?

I don't really know.

I hope it's something bad, so she doesn't come back.

You're really not right in the head.

It's a good morning since I didn't see that darn bulldog.

What happened to her family?

Did someone pass away?

Are they behind us?

They are.

Father must be in a bad mood.

That's understandable.

Not because of the company.

Just keep driving.

What a great site. It is.

Chairman Ha picked a great location.

He may act like a scholar, but he's a true businessman.

Running a resort in Korea isn't profitable.

But I can tell he understands the flow of money

to start such a big project.

A resort is like real estate.

He's waiting for the land value to rise.

That's not what he had in mind.

Did he tell you something?

That he wouldn't have asked for our help

if it weren't for his townspeople's investments.

It's a front.

That's the typical line used by most big company CEO's.

They apologize, and wait for the taxpayers' money

to bail out their company.

Then they take credit for saving the company.

They don't ever use their own money to fix their own mistakes.

Dirty jerks...

Considering them, how cool are we?

We're upfront about our money business.

People need to be honest.

Unlike other resorts,

this project is within 5 minutes from towns.

There are also accommodations for tourism.

We'll look to cooperate with other facilities.

What an ambitious project.

As expected of a renowned construction company.

Your father has great business savvy.

I'm ashamed I've ruined what he worked so hard to achieve.

Don't think like that.

Business has its good days and its bad days.

Daesung's a great company given that it's still standing

after taking such a beating.

Is that praise or an insult?

It wasn't that loud.

Why's he so nosy?

He's very keen about pointing out the problems.

He is Lee Chun gab's son.

It's 1100 meters from the sea level,

the air and water's different here.

What about the complaints about preserving this ground?

We're using sustainable methods of pest control.

Only if this were in Seoul, we'd be swimming in money.

How's the membership enrollment going?

It's been stagnant since the bankruptcy rumors.

Is that right?

Rest assured.

As soon as people know we're involved,

they'll come charging like bulls.

I have a network of people...

Father, that's if we decide on the partnership.

Isn't that punk really irritating?

Can the opening go as planned?

Yes, there are no problems with the golf course.

Not that there are problems with anything else.

Then we wouldn't have come here, right?

To be frank, President Lee.

We have no right to be picky in this situation,

but I can tell you with pride that

the construction has been carried out with integrity.

I'm saying, don't knock us about our problem with the funding.

lf we had flaws, you wouldn't have offered us a partnership.

What's your point?

It seems like you're just trying to find a problem somewhere...

Isn't that normal?

I'm trying to evaluate the value of a product.

We could've presented this project

as more than it actually is,

but our grandfather didn't want us to act like salesmen.

So do as the Chairman asks.

That's what we expect as well.

Let's go.

That wasn't necessary.

I did it to put him down.

That wouldn't bother him at all.

Fine, I'm just a moron.

Please enjoy. Thank you.

Is she not ready yet?

She's almost finished.

Joo-jeong...

You asked me to be ladylike.

But only crazy people put flowers in their hair...

Isn't it ladylike?

You brat. What, Brother?

I was trying to look as pretty as I could.

My mother and grandmother think I'm bringing a future wife.

So what?

But you look like a crazy girl.

Wait, Joo-jeong's not a ladylike name.

I'll be Choonshim then.

Stop joking around and be serious in helping him.

But this is the style elders like.

My family isn't that old fashioned.

Hurry up and change into something else!

You don't have to get angry...

I'm sorry.

That's just Joo-jeong's charm.

She can make people laugh in any situation...

She would've made a great comedienne.

Do you really think she'll be any help?

Joo-jeong'll do great..

Perhaps you don't really know her well.

She's been right under your nose.

That's not a correct idiom for this situation.

You look great.

This is how you should've dressed from the start.

I haven't worn this since my job interview.

I tripped so many times in this dress.

lf you walked straight, you wouldn't have tripped.

I was wearing heels.

Byung-do, let's go!

You don't have lower heels?

Are you happy putting me through all this trouble?

It brings me to tears.

Is revenge that sweet?

You're trying so hard for me.

It's very touching...

Keep your trap shut.

Have they left?

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

He gets along well with Joo-jeong.

Do you think so?

I'm sure you thought so too.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have made Joo-jeong do this.

I didn't have any other motive.

I just wanted him to cheer up Joo-jeong.

I understand.

I wouldn't know the depths of your great heart.

But I hope their good relationship continues...

Lost in thought?

You didn't even notice me come in.

Is it because it's almost Jin-ha's birthday?

What if he had lived for just one more year?

One more year, then maybe I could've had a baby.

That would've been comforting.

Don't say that.

He left nothing behind knowing he couldn't stay with you.

All because he really loved you.

He should've loved me a little less.

Jin ha would have no regrets.

lf you keep thinking about him,

then you might just be holding him back.

It's a burden for those who've passed away

to be constantly missed by the living.

What about those who pass away without being able to think?

What do you mean?

You can still feel sadness without thoughts...

Yes.

Where are you?

At a hospital.

I'm sorry, Young-in.

What are you sorry about?

lf I held myself back that day,

you wouldn't have gone through this.

I should've kept it to myself...

Back in college...

I remember how you glowed,

living a totally different life from me.

I got greedy, Young-in.

That's why I'm sorry.

Are you ready?

Yes.

This is an anesthetic shot.

Please count backwards to 10.

I thought you were coming back tomorrow.

I got ticked off, so I left early.

Why are you eating ramen?

You weren't here, so I was saving the rice.

It's okay if you eat the rice.

It's all right.

Save up for what? So you can be gypped again?

Did something happen?

Save up, and people come asking you for what you have.

Why did your mother ask you to come down?

My younger sister. What about her?

She has debts from a pyramid scheme.

Her husband's pay was garnished, and they got into a fight.

Her husband might divorce her.

Why did she get involved in a pyramid scheme?

That only ruins people.

She said she wanted to provide the best life for her three kids.

It's not like she's smart or has skills,

so she was easily enticed.

She's too naive.

That's how life is.

It's only the poor people who rob each other

to climb up the social ladder.

So what do they want you to do?

My mom was crying and begging me to take out a loan,

so I could prevent my sister's divorce.

I left.

I yelled at her that my sisters are old enough

to take care of their own problems.

But...

...it's driving me crazy.

She kept begging me dragging her arthritic leg,

saying ''as the firstborn, look after your siblings.''

Jin ah.

Yes.

I really envy you.

What brings you here?

I asked my father where you lived.

Why?

Come in.

I don't have anything to serve.

I...

Please get some rest. I'll make your dinner.

What do you think you're doing?

It's not any different from giving birth.

Please let me...

Why do you keep bothering me like this?

I'm sorry, but please let me make the soup.

I'm 50 years old.

You don't think I can take care of myself?

I'm sorry for troubling you, but...

But what?

Life is precious.

The baby you carried... was my younger sibling.

At least I can do this much...

I'd feel a little better, acknowledging my sibling...

The sun will rise again tomorrow.

Our days have yet to come!

I couldn't imagine being a housewife of such family.

I felt sorry for the baby.

Are you tired of me?

I can't face you.

It's late, you should sleep here.

What are you doing here?

When's your wedding?

Why'd you put me in the backseat?

I've never had a woman in my car.

Do you like toying with people?

How about your life as the price?

They're still reviewing.

They screwed us.

How about reconsidering it?

I can only hope our honesty will reach that young man.

TO BE CONTINUED...
