Episode 17

Thank you for the ride. Drive safely.

Would you...

...go out with me?

I know it's a stretch for us to be dating.

I'll be honest.

I have no place for women in my heart.

Women are like accessories to me.

So this isn't going to be your normal relationship.

I'm doing this for the sake of my sister.

I know it sounds ridiculous.

But if it means helping my sister,

I'd like to use you.

I know it sounds crazy, but at least

I'm being honest about wanting to use you.

If you have feelings for Jeong Hyun-gyu,

then forget what I just said.

But if you want to get rid of him,

this might be your chance.

Sorry about what I said. Good night.

Let's do it.

But I'm not sure what I have to do.

I just want to use you.

I heard you.

And you don't mind?

What a reckless woman.

I expected you to slap me.

I thought I deserved this one.

Should I slap you?

This is a dirty game.

I'm aware of that.

And you're willing?

Yes.

I'm doing this for my sister.

What's in it for you?

Getting rid of Jeong Hyun-gyu?

I want those kids to have a chance.

As a gesture of our partnership in this game...

Just keep this in mind during our charade.

Don't believe a single word I say.

I won't.

Yes, Mr. Choi. She seems okay.

It depends on Gang-suk though.

Thank you, Mr. Choi.

Can I see a picture?

Sorry? White porcelain?

Sure, I'll look at it.

I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye.

Greedy old man...

Sit down.

What's wrong with you?

I can't live without watching dramas!

I found a girl for Gang-suk.

Really?

She's an editor at her father's publishing company.

What do you think?

I'm busy with work. I don't have time.

Not even for one date?

It won't take that long.

Just meet her once.

If you like her, then settle down.

After one date?

That would make me look too easy.

He said he'd look too easy.

Meet her at least three times.

I don't have time for three dates.

He doesn't have the time.

Stop repeating him!

I think you picked up the habit from

watching servants in historical dramas.

I'm going to my room.

At least look at her picture later.

That shouldn't be too hard.

You might fall for her just by looking at her picture.

You might fall for her.

Stop copying me!

Are you going to school tomorrow?

Yes.

Hye-joo.

It's scary when you're in a dark room

because you can't see anything at first.

It's worse if you close your eyes.

But if you keep your eyes open, they'll adjust and

you'll be able to make out some things.

And you won't be scared anymore.

You can do that.

Just do that much.

I'll turn the light on for you.

Sleep well. You have school tomorrow.

Why didn't you just slap me?

You stupid woman.

That's why I said safety check is important.

I'll be at the site in a few minutes.

I'll call you back.

I feel generous.

What are you doing?

Make it quick. Give me a ticket.

For what?

You went through a yellow light.

Letting your friend slide?

The sun sets in the east today.

We're not friends.

Yes, we are.

Since when?

Isn't that why you're letting me go?

I guess not.

You guessed right. Leave.

Okay, thank you.

What now?

You're abusing your right letting him slide.

How's that abusing my rights?

I saw him go through a red light.

Are you color blind?

I don't feel right about this friendship.

What are you doing?

Mister.

What if you fall?

This isn't your job.

We use a window cleaning company to do this.

There was bird poop...

Forget it! What if you fall?

Mister...

Why are you so careless? Who cares about bird poop?

We're on the tenth floor!

You need to you think about your safety.

I held onto the mullion.

An accident can happen really fast.

This is the first time I've seen you get upset.

I didn't know you had it in you.

What you did is worth getting upset over.

Please be more careful.

Dan-ah knows her house. Please go with her later.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Sorry?

He was talking about weddings,

and I had a slip of the tongue...

We'll do a morning show about traditional weddings.

It's no fun with youngsters.

But an aged man in a traditional wedding...

Not to mention he's the firstborn of a prominent family.

That makes my heartstrings play music!

Why are you so pigheaded about putting my family on TV?

What? Pigheaded?

Ha Joo-jeong! I'm your superior, darn it!

How dare you say I'm pigheaded!

Then I am sorry.

Yes...

That doesn't sound sincere!

I haven't learned manners from them.

So please just give up.

Ha Joo-jeong! I haven't finished talking!

I didn't learn any manners at home.

If I die from hypertension, I want her to be my pallbearer.

Cremation's more popular nowadays.

What was that?

I hate both of them.

You should look for another buyer.

No, we'll go through with this.

Mr. President, the price is...

Get started.

Jump ship before the waves get bigger.

The market won't get any better.

I understand.

Finish it soon.

Yes.

I'm back, Mr. President.

I finished the work.

Was that 6 months in Thailand?

Yes.

Good job.

What should I do now?

Just stick around with me.

What can I do here?

It's about time you had it easy.

We're jumping ship, so pack your things.

It sucks that she kicked you out of her class.

You should just get over her.

We have a blind date today.

One of the girls asked if you were coming.

What's that gesture?

I think it means ''eat fist.''

Are you going to collapse?

Can you breathe okay?

Yes?

Yes.

Can we talk?

Thank you for liking me.

But that's it. I don't feel anything for you.

I don't know why you liked me...

Look at me saying the same things I heard myself...

It is what it is, so I won't ask why.

But don't like me.

I tried, and I had hoped you wouldn't find out.

I tried to be unobtrusive.

I'm sorry you know.

I'm sorry. I knew you'd feel bad if you found out.

I've never seen you talk this much.

I'll try...

...to go back to the way things were before

you entered my heart.

I'd appreciate that.

There'll be new items coming in next week.

You don't have to.

I express my gratitude well.

Not to make me pathetic?

It seems like a cheap bargain.

I already told the school.

I just said that to tick you off.

Can we have dinner later on tonight?

Okay.

My friends are coming, so look your best.

I will.

Hey there, friend.

What do you think you're doing?

Answer me.

What?

Why are you meeting his friends?

Why do you think?

Did you two plan this out to get rid of me?

You think I'd go for his sister if you did this to me?

Do I seem like the scheming type?

I told you I can't control myself with him.

I keep slapping him, and I don't know why.

What about it?

You asked me why I don't slap you.

I want to find out why, and what he means to me.

You can't fool me. I'm not that stupid.

Make your own judgment. I don't care what you think.

I'm more interested in pursuing my heart

than in listening to you.

I have to go home early for the memorial service.

I wanted to buy you some delicious food...

I don't have time either.

Is it work? Take it easy.

Dan-ah's coming over with someone.

She said the Chairman sent me something.

It's probably the marriage letter.

Marriage letter?

Hello?

This is my number, so save it.

Your answer?

I will.

Let's go out to dinner. Where are you?

I'm home.

The acting's only on the stage then?

Isn't that our deal?

My father watches a lot of dramas.

He said this to me.

There are always loose ends in bad acting.

You have to act like you mean it, Miss Ha Dan-ah.

Your answer?

I'm repenting.

Strange.

If you refused, I could've at least yelled at you.

You always throw me curve balls.

Goodbye.

You're the first woman who's hung up on me.

I only have coffee...

Grandmother can't drink coffee at night.

I'll get you a glass of water, Grandmother.

It's all right.

May I ask who you are?

I'm a mere housekeeper.

I see.

I thought you were a relative.

I think of her as my own grandmother.

Don't say that. You'll confuse her.

You don't have to mind me.

I won't.

I'm more worried about dealing with family members.

Is this the marriage letter?

I've heard from Dan-ah's father.

Please open it.

It's all in Chinese characters.

I think it's a letter of approval...

Did I get that right?

We are grateful for your permission.

Here we send the Four Pillars.

Please set a proper date for the wedding.

That's what it says.

Normally, this is placed on a table.

But times are...

It's not like I have a table for this.

This is the Four Pillars.

I already know his birthday.

You shouldn't accept it

if you don't intend to marry him.

But I do.

It means divorce if you change your mind...

I said I'm getting married.

Please set a proper date for the wedding.

I'll do it on a holiday.

It's not that simple.

Are there meanings to dates too?

It should be a prosperous date

that's appropriate for conception.

Conception?

She means the chance of getting pregnant.

I'm already pregnant, so why should I care?

Dan-ah, I'd like some water...

You must've been shocked, Sam-wol.

You knew?

That won Grandfather's approval.

President Ha sure surprised me.

What do you think about her?

She's not like my mom. But she's a good person.

Will she live up to the role of the head housewife...

Where are you going, friend?

I'm not your friend.

It's your turn to treat.

I'm busy.

You stripping tonight?

You come here often?

So what?

I can't even ask? I wanted to break the ice.

Just keep peeling those eggs.

I am.

It's good. No need for salt.

No thanks.

Look!

Who falls for that?

I'm not your typical person.

I could tell from your makeup.

You're rude!

That's fine.

I looked in the mirror!

You need glasses then.

Is something on my face?

No.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

What's wrong with her?

You gave her a new impression.

Sorry?

She knows?

Yes.

How?

Director Lee told her.

Told her what?

What else?

well...

Is this a riddle? I want in.

What are the rules?

You won't be able to get it.

I'm not smart, but I'm good with riddles.

Dong-dong.

Yes?

Don't admit you're not smart.

Please stop that.

What did I do?

I'm embarrassed.

Am I teasing you too much?

Who are you teasing?

It's nothing.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Fishy...

Suk-ho!

Is that Director Lee pregnant or something?

She can't be...

She is?

Stop it.

I knew something convinced my brother.

Is this a skit?

This should be a medical documentary.

Using the thing he didn't use for 25 years...

Grandmother!

Can you give me a ride?

Why are you so quiet?

Do you want to eat?

You've already eaten?

You're not your usual self.

Did something happen, Miss Oh Jin-ah?

Can we go to the Han River?

They play this for their regulars?

Don't do that here.

Is that supposed to be touching?

I wish there was a guy like him,

someone who knew I loved him just by intuition.

Is your life that lonely?

Lonely enough to find comfort in movies?

Just watch the movie.

It's hot...

Here, it's warm.

Don't do that to me.

I don't want to suffer again.

You know my story.

I have nothing and nobody to rely on.

So I give my heart when I like someone.

If I didn't, I'd really have nothing in life.

You told me love doesn't exist.

You told me not to believe in such things.

So why are you doing this?

You give me rides. You ask me if I've eaten.

You yell at me for cleaning the windows.

Did I do something bad?

It means nothing to you, but l...

l...

...feel tugs at my heartstrings.

I know I shouldn't feel like that about you...

If it's something I did...

The things you carelessly say get to me.

Miss Oh Jin-ah.

See?

You can't even call me ''Jin-ah.''

Explain it to me in a simpler way.

I'm scared of you. Is that simple enough?

Forget it. I'm glad it was you.

You don't understand anything.

It's just one of those days when I throw a fit.

Good night.

Bye.

I'm glad you're deaf,

so I can see you a little longer.

I don't like her eyes.

Look at this girl's eyes.

You're late.

Have a seat.

Look, you can't tell she had surgery.

It was nicely done.

Wait a second.

Doesn't she look like Professor Ha?

Let me see. You're right.

If she has Professor Ha's fortune, then she's no good.

That bothers me. No girls with bad fortune.

If you look at her from this angle,

the resemblance is gone.

Really?

Can you make time?

I'll meet her later when I have time.

I'm going to my room.

Okay.

I think he likes her looks.

It could be Photoshop.

Want a snack?

That's okay.

Burn them.

You're mean, Sam-wol.

My groom sent me this letter.

You can't forget him if you keep it.

If I burn this, then I'm a divorcee.

Please, Dan-ah.

Just burn it and divorce him.

He left you behind.

I'm a widow, but not a divorcee.

I'm too proud.

Who are you?

I'm Nam Jin-ho.

What are you doing here?

I'm Mr. Lee Gang-suk's secretary.

What about the secretary here?

She was moved to a different post.

Nobody told me.

Please wait.

Please go through me first.

Please tell him Director Ha Tae-young is here.

We had an employee shift?

Yes.

Perhaps you should discuss things first.

I talked with President Ha and Director Ha.

I need your signature.

I read about Director Lee on the company website.

What about her?

Congratulations on your father's marriage.

That's on the web?

You didn't know?

I've been busy!

Your stepmother is very beautiful.

President Ha is lucky to have found such a talented woman.

I didn't have time.

I see.

Sorry I made you come here.

It's fine.

I didn't know how to respond to the marriage letter.

I see.

Can you write it for me?

Is that against the rules?

It's no problem.

Good. What should I say?

It's simple.

We're fortunate to have your approval.

We're proposing a date and eagerly await it.

Can you write that for me?

Yes.

What's this about, Director Ha?

What are you doing here?

I have something to take care of.

Director Lee.

Yes?

You must be really proud of yourself.

Is this about the interview?

You should've just kept quiet.

Why?

I need to apply for leave for my honeymoon.

Why don't you just announce that you're pregnant?

Maybe I should.

What are you doing here!

Don't yell at me.

This sucks!

I'm sorry.

About what?

My brother.

He's a little rough, but he has a big heart.

I doubt it.

You'll get to know him better.

He threatened me.

Sorry?

He said he'd make this a battle.

Did he?

I'm not backing down. It'll be fun for me.

Check on the shareholders quietly.

Yes.

What brings you here?

Are you going to school?

Yes.

Have you had lunch?

Yes.

Go to work.

Yes.

Then watch me eat.

I didn't expect this.

I said I'd repent.

You should at least pretend to be repentant.

Is this for my sister or for that punk?

I thought women enjoyed having guys hanging around.

It's similar to an accessory that you don't want,

but also don't want to share.

He seemed like a good guy, judging from Hye-joo.

Should we call it quits?

Good one.

Seems like a walk in the park for you.

Perhaps you do have some feelings for him.

Your willingness to resort to this dirty charade

tells me you want to protect him.

I didn't ask you any questions.

I expect you to do the same.

You won't deny it.

Then make sure he doesn't find out.

If he does, then he won't give up.

Young people have good intuition.

Wait.

Hye-joo's there, so he must be around.

Seatbelt.

Let me ask you something.

Why don't you dress warmly?

I'll leave it to you to burn him.

Do you want to see me die?

Do you?

I'm grateful for your attendance.

We've heard the news, and came to congratulate you.

We tried to keep it quiet.

The whole company has heard the good news.

This is my wife.

Pleased to meet you.

This is a very refined house.

Thank you.

Dan-ah.

Yes, Grandfather.

Please escort them.

You look great in hanbok.

Please follow me.

She seems so morose now.

Please have a seat.

I'll stand.

Professor Ha.

Congratulations.

He gave me a ride.

Come this way.

I didn't expect you.

Hey.

Hello.

This isn't going to be a fun show.

Who is he?

An acquaintance.

Isn't he handsome?

I've been telling him he should become a celebrity.

That's easier said than done.

He's a little too skinny to...

No, feel these muscles...

Don't be shy.

You're such a shame.

I fancy the guy.

Professor Ha.

What's the meaning of those geese?

There are three.

The first symbolizes the commitment of love.

Geese stay single if they lose their partner.

How stubborn. That's scary.

What do the second and third mean?

Ask later.

She's so beautiful for woman in her 50's.

Thanks for the announcement.

They should use nicer cups.

Those half-cups come together as one.

Is that right?

Who are you?

Can you please be quiet?

Groom and bride, bow.

Useless brat...

Wrap it tightly!

Why don't you help out instead of just talking?

Talking's what I'm good at.

Too bad I'm your grandmother.

Pull it tight.

I feel bad that Soo-young has to drive your parents.

Delivery!

More?

You put this here and press the button.

Nobody drinks coffee in this family.

I guess it's time for a change.

The washing machine's great!

And the showerhead puts vitamins in the water.

What's that?

It's a new beginning for us.

This dress is irritating.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Welcome back, Grandpa, Grandma.

Thanks.

Grandma?

The honeymoon to the family house must've been boring.

No, it was great to be with my beloved.

Let's go in.

Let's.

Does she not have any shame?

Dad.

What?

I think Grandma doesn't like you.

Likewise.

She's the newest member of our family.

How many times have we bowed?

You look so happy, Suk-ho. I guess love is great.

What? I'm just happy for him.

You may sit.

Yes.

Please do your best to respect your elders,

and treat your juniors with generosity.

Yes, Father.

Yes, Father.

Do I always have to wear a hanbok?

Just bear with it for now.

Do I go to work in it?

Do you want to?

My legs are sore from bowing a million times...

Let me massage your legs.

No, I'll take a nap.

But we have a service soon...

What? More bowing?

That's ridiculous.

I won't call her ''Stepmother.''

Right, so call her ''Mother.''

Can you do that?

I will.

No loyalty to our mom.

That's nonsense. What will you call her?

Director Lee.

You'll hear it from Grandfather.

Not in front of him, then.

Just do what's right.

I am doing what's right. I'll never call her my mother.

What's that sound?

That's how it works, Father.

It's my gift to you.

I have Lee Mi-ja's exclusive LP's.

Play this instead.

Should l?

Who's this man?

Ray Charles.

He's a legend in the United States.

He's blind.

I like his music.

Why are we setting up here?

Where should I put this?

Over there.

Now it feels like a party.

I love you!

Let's get this party started!

Let me...

I have something to say.

An introduction?

Director Soo-young, Tae-young, and Dan-ah.

Yes.

I'm not yet ready to be your mother.

So let's decide on my title now.

I don't want to be reminded that I'm old,

so please don't call me ''Mother'' yet.

What do you mean?

Would you just address me as ''Director Lee''?

That's...

You'll be an exception.

I could've had a daughter your age.

You may call me ''Mother.''

That's unfair!

We can't call you ''Mother'' because we're old?

But she can because she's young?

Do you want to call me ''Mother''?

Yes, it's everything I wished for, Mother!

That's gross.

What's gross, Mother?

You're my mother, aren't you?

You lying...

I don't want to be like Hong Gil-dong!

Mother, let's celebrate!

Thank you for being my mother!

Please join them.

It seems like the family atmosphere has changed.

I don't want to bring down the mood.

Mr. Chairman...

Have Tae-young take this outside.

Sorry?

What's a party without music?

To Grandma!

Congratulations!

Drink!

Honey, let's dance.

Do it!

Show me your moves!

Come on, let's join in.

Hurry up!

Like this?

Come on, Soo-young.

That's terrible!

1, 2, 3!

I think it's unfair that men and women eat separately.

Then you may rearrange things as you see fit.

It really feels like I'm dating.

It's just a show.

We're only doing this to trick them.

I don't like your brother, and I don't like you either.

I'm worried about you.

I don't know I don't know why you're mad at me...

Someone pathetic like me shouldn't like you...

What are you, Robocop?

You can't live without risking everything.

You can't love anyone other than our family.

Ha Dan-ah is different. I like her.

TO BE CONTINUED...
