Take a seat, Secretary Kim.

Yes.

Have you thought about it?

Yes. However, Ms. Oh,

I don't think it's right to move into your house.

Why not? You don't think you can do it?

But I'll be there anytime you need me.

But...

my mother-in-law could go crazy at night.

I don't know when she'd make that fuss.

I wouldn't ask you...

if her symptom comes on time.

Also, I can't just ask you to...

come every time.

I'm not that shameless.

Ms. Oh. I work for Chairman Wang and...

Director Wang at the company.

It'll be uncomfortable for me to live with them.

So, as long as I don't live at your house,

you don't need to worry about Madam Park.

Regardless of time, I'll be there to help you.

Late at night or early in the morning. At any time.

Really?

Late at night or early in the morning,

when my mother-in-law seeks for you,

you'd come at any time?

Yes, Ms. Oh.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

You have no idea how worried I was...

in case you said no.

Oh, my.

Then I'll tell my whole family...

that you have decided to become...

my mother-in-law's sister.

We made a promise, okay?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

I'll pay you thoroughly.

Yes.

- Drink. - Yes.

What?

What did you ask of Secretary Kim?

Honey. Please allow it.

No one else can control Mother in this world...

except for Secretary Kim.

Neither of us can do it.

No one else in the world can do it for us.

So, please listen to me for just this once.

I beg you.

Or I don't think I can do it.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

- Secretary Kim. - Yes.

Chairman Wang is looking for you. You should go.

Yes.

- What's going on? - What?

Ms. Oh's even here. She never visits the company.

Why did they call Secretary Kim?

How would I know? Get back to your work.

Yes, sir.

Secretary Kim.

Is what my wife said all true?

Yes.

If you feel uncomfortable about anything,

tell me now.

No.

Madam Park has been very nice to me until now.

I'm grateful of her.

So, if I could help her, I'll do anything...

to make Madam Park better.

As long as you allow it,

and that it won't affect my work.

It's true. I never forced her.

Right, Secretary Kim?

Yes.

So, Chairman Wang.

Secretary Kim. Then let's do that.

I really appreciate your help.

I don't know what else to say aside from thank you.

Not at all, sir. Not at all.

If it's too much, tell me at any time.

Don't just endure it.

Yes, I will do that.

Thank you, honey, and you too, Secretary Kim.

Thank you to both of you.

You sure are different because you're an expert.

Do you like it, Grandmother?

Yes, it's pretty.

My room looks brighter.

Thanks, Da Ya.

I'm glad that you like it.

I'll bring bright flowers from now on.

Flowers in the house bring luck.

Now that I got a lucky flower gift,

I should give something to you too.

- A gift? - Yes.

Here.

Here, pick anything you like.

Grandma. You mean it?

Let's see.

Which one should look good on Da Ya?

That's too big for your age.

For Da Ya...

Oh, right. This one should be nice.

This one's cute.

Here. This will look good. Isn't it cute?

It's pretty, Grandma.

Thank you.

That big diamond necklace was the prettiest.

Grandma's stuff will be mine eventually.

And Mother's stuff will be mine as well.

I love it.

I really want to have that necklace though.

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Hong. You surprised me.

What were you thinking so deeply about?

I called you so many times.

I'm sorry.

I was thinking about something.

I heard it from Chief Secretary Yang.

I heard Ms. Oh came because of Madam Park.

Chief Secretary Yang and I will help you from now on,

so don't feel so burdened about the company.

We should help each other.

Thank you.

I want to do a good job in both my work...

and helping Madam Park.

You're unexpectedly greedy, you know that?

I know you want to place first for the contest too.

How did you know?

By the way, have you thought about any idea?

We better make the porridge creative.

Secretary Hong.

Young people these days choose toppings...

to their taste whether it's pizza or sandwich.

So I've thought about...

applying that case to porridge.

Customers will choose toppings to their taste.

Goodness, that's awesome.

Porridge with customized toppings?

That's brilliant.

Really?

Our porridge goes well with traditional food,

so we should think about such toppings.

Which leads to my next idea.

How about bulgogi?

It's what Koreans love the most.

Porridge topped with bulgogi.

Good, I love it.

Not just ordinary bulgogi.

Our special fiery-taste bulgogi.

That sounds great.

I'm having a feeling...

that this will work out.

Secretary Kim, let's try it right away today.

Okay.

Let's place first with this idea.

Let's do it.

- Shall we go? - Okay.

Chives...

King oyster mushrooms...

Button mushrooms.

Oh, Director Wang.

I thought you left work a while ago.

I went to the marketing team to get some data.

When will you leave work then?

I have a meeting, so I'll leave around that time.

Don't mind me and leave work.

But I thought you went home...

a while ago.

We went grocery shopping.

We'll prepare for the contest in the kitchen.

I see, the two of you in the kitchen.

Okay, good luck.

I'm done marinating the meat.

If we stir-fry the marinated meat with oil...

and pour wine, it'll catch fire.

Perhaps.

I've never made this kind of dish before,

so I'm a bit worried about the taste.

I know. It's my first time too.

I'll try then.

I'll do it.

Let me try this.

You have to coat the pan with oil...

and stir-fry the meat first.

That's too much.

Should I throw some away?

Secretary Hong, let's just try as is.

I think if we fry the meat instead of stir-frying,

it might become crisp and nice.

I'll put the meat in then.

Do you hear the sound?

It sounds delicious.

Awesome.

All right, I'm going to pour in some wine now.

- Water. - What should we do?

Water?

Water?

What's going on?

It says a fire has broken out in the kitchen.

- Fire in the kitchen? - Yes.

- Did you call 911? - Yes, I just did.

Kitchen?

Kitchen...

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim.

Director Wang.

Secretary Hong, are you okay?

Where's Secretary Kim? What happened to her?

Director Wang.

Secretary Kim, are you not hurt?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm sorry for causing a ruckus.

What's all this? You've surprised us all.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's all because of me. I was greedy to do good.

I stir-fried wine and poured meat...

I mean, I stir-fried meat and poured too much wine.

The flames blew up all of a sudden.

But the fire alarming system got activated...

and the sprinklers were turned on.

That's how it all happened.

Anyway,

I'm glad you two are safe.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm sorry, sir.

Be careful from now on.

Okay.

Okay.

Hi, Soo Hyun.

Where are you?

I'm about to head there now.

I'm calling you beforehand...

in case you get flustered later.

Is something wrong?

My dad wants to see you.

He's coming here soon.

So don't be surprised when you arrive.

Okay.

No.

I shouldn't be like this.

Soo Hyun.

I think we should see each other without him first.

I have something to tell you.

What do you mean?

You want to stop seeing me?

If we continue our relationship like this,

it'll hurt...

both our feelings later.

Why all of a sudden though?

Have I made any mistake?

That's not it.

You haven't made any mistake to me.

It's not your fault.

I know you're a good person.

But I don't think I'm ready for marriage yet.

How can you say that now?

It's been arranged by the elders from each family.

Weren't we going for marriage from the start?

If you were going to be like this,

you should've told me so on our first date.

I thought it'd work out if I tried.

I'm so sorry.

What?

Try?

I've never heard...

anything absurd like this in my entire life.

You really...

I think...

I'll be mad at you if we continue.

I don't want to show you such a side of me.

I'll be on my way.

Secretary Kim is really nice.

How thankful.

To be honest, no woman these days...

would want to spend time with an old lady.

Mother said she'd pay her enough.

She can earn an extra sum of money...

and win the chairman's favour at the same time.

Isn't it good for her too?

Don't you think so?

That's right,

but you have to be careful not to upset her.

If she decides to stop, things will get hard then.

Goodness.

Grandma, what are those flowers?

I got them for her.

Grandma, did you break the vase?

Where's Myeong Hee?

I want to give her these.

Where did you take her?

Get away, Da Ya!

Run away. Get out of here.

You can't do this, Grandma.

Don't come this way. Stop her.

Grandma, Grandma. Stop it.

- Calm down. - Myeong Hee.

Where did you take her?

Grandma, what's wrong with you?

How dare you put your hands on me?

Grandma, you shouldn't hit people with flowers.

Oh dear. Ma'am.

- My goodness. - Ma'am.

Bring her back!

Mother!

Stop it.

You evil witches! Get out of here!

Calm down, Grandma.

I want those witches gone.

Get out of here, you evil things.

Let go of me.

- Are you okay, Mother? - Yes. Oh dear.

Hello, Ms. Oh.

Right now?

Okay, I'll come right over. Bye.

Hey. Where are you going?

Gosh.

That evil brat.

She treats me worse than the neighbour’s dog.

She came home looking like a drenched rat.

Where is she going now in such a rush?

Mom.

Do Ran left in that strange man's car again.

What? Again?

What?

The chairman gave permission?

Yes. He seems to think I'm the only one...

who can calm Madam Park.

That may be true,

but you work all day and at night...

It'll be a lot of work.

A lot of people work 2 or 3 jobs these days.

Are you...

doing it for the money?

Because of your mom and sister?

It's about the money too,

but like you know,

Madam Park was really nice to me.

She was really considerate.

That's why even though it'll be a bit of work,

if I can do something to put her at ease,

I'd like to help when I can.

I think it's harder on you than it is on me.

You have to come to get me then take me home.

It's fine.

This is my job.

And...

driving you to where you need to go...

is a pleasure to me.

It's not tiring at all.

Really?

Yes, really.

To tell the truth,

riding in the back of the car you're driving...

and chatting about things with you...

alleviates my stress,

and it feels like a drive which is so nice.

It is?

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

No, Myeong Hee.

Where are you going.

I need to go to the toilet.

I'll come too.

I can manage on my own.

What's this, Geum Byung?

While I'm fast asleep, I'm afraid that...

the evil wench and her daughter...

will take you away, so I tied us together.

I want to protect you.

Geum Byung. I'll be fine.

And the lady and pretty girl outside...

aren't bad people.

No, Myeong Hee, you can't trust them.

If we let our guard down,

they'll steal our livers like wolves.

Geum Byung.

I'm home.

Welcome back. You're late.

You're back.

Were you with Soo Hyun again tonight?

Well...

Why are you all here?

Da Ya and Yi Ryook too? Is something wrong?

Did Grandma relapse?

Dad.

I won't lose Myeong Hee this time.

Your concubine's scheming...

to keep us apart and kill us both.

You can't let that happen.

Oh dear.

- Mother. - My goodness.

Why do you keep calling me that, Dad?

Dad. I can't stand them.

Can you tell them to leave?

If not, buy a house for Myeong Hee and me.

You can live with that gold digger and her spawn.

Geum Byung. I told you not to get angry.

Or curse.

Okay. I won't.

Let's go.

If you dare mistreat Myeong Hee,

I'll kill you all.

Okay? You're all scumbags.

Let's go.

Myeong Hee, I'll stand guard outside.

Don't worry and take your time...

and freshen up before coming out.

Okay, Geum Byung.

This is bad.

They can't even sleep.

Ms. Oh, I'll stay with Madam Park tonight.

Don't worry and let everyone go to bed.

Hey.

Secretary Kim said she'll stay with Mother.

We can stop worrying and go to bed.

Yi Ryook, take Da Ya upstairs.

Da Ya, let's go.

Sleep well, Mother, Father.

You too.

You'll let Secretary Kim stay the night?

Yes. We asked her to care for your grandma...

full-time.

What do you mean full-time?

I can't stand you lot.

Why have you all gathered?

Myeong Hee, let's go to bed.

Okay, Geum Byung.

Is she going to live with us now?

We want her to but she refused.

She'll come over when we need her...

like tonight.

Make sure not to inconvenience her...

at work.

Go to bed now.

I know you'll feel uncomfortable,

but it can't be helped.

She's the only one who can control your grandma.

Get used to the idea, okay?

I'm going to bed.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

I'm exhausted. This is unbelievable.

I'm so tired. I could just die.

Secretary Kim...

will sleep in our house?

Why does she keep coming closer?

It'll be a huge burden on Do Ran.

Even if it's a hut that's about to fall,

it's best to sleep in one's own home.

Gosh.

What?

Why are you sleeping in my room?

Geum Byung.

Ms. Kim.

Do Ran.

What is going on?

Well...

You will...

take care of me like this from now on?

Yes.

Whenever you try to find your sister, Myeong Hee,

I'll be Myeong Hee for you.

So please don't worry.

I see.

Okay.

I might...

give you a hard time.

I'm worried about it.

No, Madam Park. It's not hard at all.

You care about me...

like your real sister.

Sometimes I even wish I were...

your real sister.

I guess...

we were sisters...

in our past lives.

I can't believe...

that I think you're my sister, Myeong Hee.

Thank you for staying with me...

without being scared of me.

It's okay, Madam Park.

Ms. Kim.

Make yourself at home and eat a lot.

Okay.

Ms. Kim.

Have some bulgogi.

It's not too salty. Everyone loves it.

It's really good.

Gosh.

Ms. Kim loves this marinated abalone.

Here. Eat up.

- You should have some. - Okay.

- Eat a lot. - Gosh.

It's like a new member of our family. It's so great.

Right, Dae Ryook?

What?

Yes.

What?

It's like the tail wagging the dog.

Gosh.

She's just a secretary in our company.

But they are treating her like treasure.

This is ridiculous.

Are you going to work, Director Wang?

I'll drive Ms. Kim to work.

It's okay. I'll drive her on my way to work.

I see. Would that be okay?

Yes. We don't need to drive two cars.

Okay.

Director Wang, I can take a bus.

Why would you do that? We go to the same place.

Let's go.

But I can't go to work in his car.

Just go.

Okay. I'll see you later, Mr. Kang.

Have a good day.

- Ms. Kim, let's go. - Okay.

Mr. Kang.

What are you looking at with such a sad face?

- Did I do that? - Yes.

You look like a dad marrying off his daughter.

That's absurd.

I guess it's hard for Ms. Kim to get by.

It seems she's doing this for money.

She should be maturing under her parents care.

I feel bad for her.

I heard everything.

Thank you for helping out my grandmother.

It's okay.

I'm doing this because I want to. Never mind.

If you have...

any problem at work because of my grandmother,

just tell me any time.

Okay. I will.

You were soaked because of the sprinkler yesterday.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry, Director Wang.

The weather is so nice.

What season do you like?

I like fall.

I like spring.

When flowers begin to bloom.

Oh, really?

I like spring, too.

I also like fall.

So we have one thing in common.

We both like spring.

Pardon?

Thank you for driving me home, Director Wang.

Take your time and get ready. I'll wait.

It's okay. I'll take the bus.

We go to the same office. Don't waste the bus fare.

Just go with me.

That's a little...

I can't go to work in your car.

I've decided to take care of Madam Park,

but other employees would get the wrong idea...

if they see me in your car.

If that's what you're worried,

I'll let you off where no one's around.

Still, people would get the wrong idea.

I don't want to cause any misunderstanding.

Just go, Director Wang.

I'll take the bus to work.

Okay.

I just wanted to drive you to work,

but you don't want it.

Okay. I'll see you at the office later.

Thank you.

- Ms. Kim. - Director Wang.

What are you doing here?

You know what?

I got a flat tire on the way.

A flat.

A flat?

(My Only One)

You jerk! How dare you...

hit on a girl who's like your daughter?

Don't you dare have your eyes on this necklace.

- Especially you. - It's like I lost.

- Are you all right? - Freddie.

You should do what I tell you today, okay?

Mom went to an amusement park?

I'll have fun with Grandma there.

Director Wang keeps staring at Do Ran.

Now, I want to date and marry a woman I like.
