Father. Find Myeong Hee, please.

She'll be here soon.

You just talked to her. She'll be here soon.

Just wait, Mother.

- Myeong Hee. - Mother.

Madam Park. Myeong Hee is here.

- What? Myeong Hee? - Geum Byung.

Myeong Hee. Myeong Hee.

Myeong Hee. Where have you been?

I've been waiting for you.

- Myeong Hee. - I'm sorry, Geum Byung.

I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier.

Myeong Hee.

Myeong Hee.

Don't go anywhere.

Don't go anywhere, Myeong Hee.

What are you going to do?

Because of me and Da Ya...

I have no other choice.

My husband told me not to come home.

I'll stay at your house for a while.

What?

What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm serious. I have no affection left for him.

How could he tell me to go kneel to that young girl?

There must be at least one professional caregiver...

to take care of Mother in Korea.

Jang Da Ya. What is this?

Because you wanted a different caregiver...

even your mother-in-law is in trouble.

Mother. I'm really sorry.

I'll go on my knees if I have to...

and get Secretary Kim's permission.

No, just stay out of it. This isn't your problem.

I'll take care of it.

By the way, why can't Secretary Kim do it?

I don't understand.

We even offered her more money too.

She just keeps her mouth closed.

I begged and begged her,

but how could she...

Seriously, I can't believe it.

Yes, Yi Ryook.

What?

Secretary Kim is home?

Okay. Okay.

Oh, dear.

She only apologized when I begged and begged her.

Oh, my goodness. How could this happen?

- Is Secretary Kim home? - Yes.

She took a cab upon my husband's call.

How sly.

Mother. I told you.

Consider yourselves lucky.

You can relax if Secretary Kim...

takes care of Madam Park for the time being.

Just think of it that way.

That Secretary Kim is so ridiculous.

Goodness.

My goodness.

This is delicious.

The soup is great, the fish is delicious,

so is the kimchi. Everything is great.

I think so, too.

Myeong Hee,

I can't even eat without you.

You know that, right?

I know.

I won't go anywhere,

so don't cry even if I go out for a bit.

You got it?

Got it. Let's eat.

It's so good.

I love the soup.

Isn't it good?

Here's some water.

Everything tastes better because you're here.

Same for me.

I don't think Grandmother can be without Ms. Kim.

What should we do?

You're right.

We have to find another way.

Father, Yi Ryook, what are you doing?

Why? Is something wrong?

Yes, Secretary Kim is back.

Secretary Kim?

Delicious, right?

She's going to struggle so much again.

Honey,

we're back.

I hear Secretary Kim is back.

I brought a mango cake, mother's favorite.

Where are they?

Oh, they're eating?

Yes.

Da Ya,

let's flee to our rooms, since Ms. Kim is here.

Mother might pull out our hairs again...

in spite of us.

Mother.

What? It's true.

- Delicious, right? - Yes.

Try some of this.

Try the bulgogi.

- Bulgogi? - Yes.

- Isn't it good? - Yes, it is.

- You have some, too. - Okay.

This chicken is good, too. Put it on your rice.

So good.

I wonder why she loves her that much.

Why does she love Secretary Kim so much?

And why does she hate me?

I really can't understand her.

I had a long day today, baking for children...

but I feel much more rested now.

- Should I crack the eggs? - Yes.

How many?

20.

Why won't he even look at me?

Well, it was my first time with him today.

He'll fall for me soon enough.

Where are you going?

I'm going for a bike ride.

Go Rae,

when you go for a ride and see a lady you like,

chase her.

Ask for her name and her number.

You have to do something for something to happen.

Nothing can happen if you don't act on it.

Aunt, you're funny.

You're so cute.

You have to take action!

You are all here because you want to be an anchor.

You all know the pronunciation basics.

Let's begin the exercise. Start!

Ga, gya, geo, gyeo.

Hello, I am Anchor Kim Mi Ran.

For the Panmunjeom Joint Security Area,

JSA's disarmament,

the second roundtable of UN inter-Korea...

took place on the south side,

at the House of Freedom.

For Go Ah Young's successful employment!

Cheers!

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Since Ah Young passed this time,

Mi Ran is the only one that needs to succeed.

Is that so?

Are you going to apply to KBC this time?

- The job posting is up. - Yes, I'll give it a try.

Didn't you say your family was moving to Banpo?

Did you not open the cafe yet?

No, not yet.

We're still renovating.

Then let's go there...

for the next month's meet-up.

Cheers!

- Cheers! - All right.

Congratulations!

I shouldn't have come today.

Ah Young,

why did you bring up the talk about her moving?

Why can't I?

Mi Ran's family is poor because they got scammed.

Rumors say they're on the streets now.

I thought her face seemed a bit tired.

Is she going to be okay?

Let's pay for everything ourselves.

Let's.

Mi Ran...

What should we do?

Yes, my family is poor.

I can't get a job as an anchor.

Keep empathizing.

You all must be so happy.

You have great parents, who have a lot of money...

that you use to become an anchor.

You'll get married into good families, too.

Why am I the only one struggling?

Only if my dad was alive.

Dad...

why did you leave us like this?

Miss, are you alone?

Why are you crying, pretty face?

Stop crying...

and let's drink together.

No, I'm fine.

Hey, don't be like that,

just talk it out with me while drinking.

Why are you doing this?

Hey,

what's wrong two lonely people drinking together?

You don't need to be so defensive.

Let me go! What is wrong with you?

Are you saying...

that you don't like me?

Let her go.

What?

Who are you?

- I know him. - Let her go.

Listen, you child. Mind your own business.

Go on with your way.

She doesn't want to drink with you.

Look at this.

Look at this little prick.

Hey, you.

Do you know who I am?

You listen to me.

When a lady says no, leave her alone.

Don't be so pathetic.

Please, let me go.

- I'm sorry. - Don't ever do this.

Yes.

I'll let you go since you promised.

Go.

Are you okay?

Yes, thank you, jobless man.

Jobless?

Don't be out alone so late.

It's dangerous.

Understood, PC room lady?

Yes.

Go home.

I'm going to go.

Hey,

I still have some beer left.

can you stay with me just until I finish?

I don't want to waste my beer,

but I'm scared to be alone.

Okay.

Just for a bit.

Yes, thank you.

Where do you think the river flows to?

What about our lives?

You see how the river is so dark?

That's how my life looks like right now.

My friends found out that my family is poor.

I really want to die.

I pretended that I'm from a rich family...

and lied about having a lot of money.

I bet they're pitying and talking about me now.

I keep failing the anchor exam.

But...

the worst part is,

I don't think I can pass.

Me, an anchor when I have no money?

I have...

no use whatsoever.

I'm out.

I should go home.

Jobless guy.

Thank you.

So what?

She recovered when Ms. Kim came over?

What are they doing right now?

I don't know. I don't even want to go downstairs.

I think I'm beginning to hate her now.

You can't say that, Da Ya.

You're the one who wanted to move in.

I don't know.

I can't help it if that's how I feel.

Forget about everything else.

Pretend she's a patient...

and Ms. Kim's a helper who comes to care for her.

Think of it that way.

Okay.

Da Ya.

You need to be good to your mother-in-law.

She's my friend but I was so grateful today.

She didn't blame you once after the mess you caused.

How is it my mess? It was Ms. Kim's.

I told you not to think that way.

Why are you so upset when she can't replace you?

You don't know how I feel.

Whenever she's here, she's the guest of honor.

I feel like I'm being pushed aside.

Remember what I said.

Say it to yourself 100 times a day.

"Grandma's a patient. Ms. Kim's a caregiver."

Say it now.

Grandma's a patient.

Ms. Kim's a caregiver.

Grandma's a patient.

Ms. Kim's a caregiver.

Mr. Kang.

I'll sit up front today.

Sit in the back.

Ms. Kim.

I'll drive you.

No. I'll take Mr. Kang's car.

I'll drive you.

I have something to say on the way.

Something to say?

About the topping.

Mr. Wang.

We should talk about that at work.

Chairman Wang told me to take Mr. Kang's car.

Goodbye.

Do Ran.

Thanks so much for care for my grandma again.

It's nothing. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

We went on a date.

Why is she acting so distant?

Oh, was it because Mr. Kang was there?

Yes, we can talk tomorrow.

You're exhausted, aren't you?

You couldn't rest on your day off.

No, this is nothing at all.

I hoped that...

you wouldn't return to care for Madam Park.

It's hard work and long hours and...

I wanted to refuse too.

Knowing that Madam Park cried, looking for me...

I just couldn't.

That's why...

I won't think about anything else.

I'll focus on her and just her.

I'll think about how nice she was to me.

Okay.

My Do Ran.

You're just too sweet.

It breaks my heart.

Hong Shil.

Hong Shil. Hong Shil.

- What is it? - Hong Shil.

What's the matter?

I think that...

Mr. Kang and I are meant to be.

What are you saying when you should be in bed?

Hong Shil.

The man who looks like Fred.

I met him again.

Mr. Kang, at the cathedral.

What? The cathedral?

Hong Shil.

Isn't this what they call destiny?

Go to bed already.

I already have a headache...

and you're talking about destiny?

Hong Shil.

Multiple coincidences become fate, okay?

Hong Joo.

Don't you date someone strange again.

No. Mr. Kang isn't a strange guy.

It's fate. My destiny.

My goodness.

Who is he that she's acting like that?

Hello, Secretary Hong.

- Secretary Kim. - Yes?

The porridge with bulgogi comes out today.

Come on.

You think I don't know that?

Ms. Kim, how about we have that for lunch...

to celebrate our successful project?

I'd like that.

I feel left out.

Can you let us off just today?

I want to eat out with Ms. Kim...

and see if it looks like how we imagined.

I get it. I have lunch plans anyway.

I won't feel hurt so check the customers' responses.

- Will do. - Yes, sir.

- Hello, sir. - Good morning.

Hello.

Good morning.

What was that?

She ignores me...

but holds hands and hops with Mr. Hong.

Is she trying to make me jealous?

Hello.

Where's Father Kim?

I'm here to see him about a certificate of donation.

He just went to the emergency room.

Oh dear. The emergency room?

Yes.

Who's this?

- Hello? - It's Na Hong Joo.

Hello.

Father Kim's at the emergency room.

I thought you should know.

He's at the emergency room?

I thought he had something serious.

I'm glad it was just an appendectomy.

Yes. I'm glad the surgery went well.

I guess priests get appendectomies too.

I thought that...

only people like us had such surgeries.

When I was young,

I thought that teachers and priests...

didn't even go to the toilet.

Or fart.

If you don't mind, I should go.

Goodbye.

Mr. Kang.

We can't just part when we met again.

Some tea or...

I'm on duty. I must get back to work.

Then...

can you answer just one question?

I really want to know something.

It's not that difficult a question.

Okay, ask away.

Mr. Kang.

You're alone every time I see you.

You don't have a wife, do you?

You're single, right?

No. I have a wife and children.

A daughter and two sons.

I'll get going then.

Oh my gosh.

Hey, Hong Joo.

What's wrong?

Hong Shil. What should I do?

Mr. Kang says he has a family.

He has a wife and children.

A daughter and two sons.

He has a lot of kids, right?

Gosh.

You've been after a married man with kids?

I mean, he didn't look like a married man.

My gosh. Get real.

There are not many men without a wife at his age.

It would've been weird if he were single.

Hong Shil.

I'll just go back to the States.

I shouldn't have come to Korea.

My goodness.

Gosh, what should I do with her?

How does the new menu taste...

with the bulgogi topping?

It tastes good.

It's not just porridge. It's more like a cuisine.

- Please enjoy your meal. - Please enjoy your meal.

Secretary Hong, let's taste it now.

Okay.

This is amazing.

It will break the perception...

that people eat porridge only when they're sick.

It's completely new.

Secretary Kim, this is going to be a hit.

It's really good.

- Director Wang. - Director Wang.

What are you doing?

How could you come here without me?

I was also a member of the planning team.

We just didn't tell you because you're busy.

I'm not busy at all.

How does it taste?

It's great, Director Wang.

It's made with healthy ingredients and sincerity.

You should try one as well.

We will have one more bulgogi topping porridge.

Okay.

I'll eat it once it's served. Go ahead and eat.

You should eat it when it's warm.

Okay.

Secretary Kim. I thought you like noodles,

but you are eating porridge well too.

Did you two go to have noodles without me?

It's not that we only had noodles together.

Together?

Director Wang, why are you doing this?

Please excuse me. I should get going.

- Secretary Kim. - Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim. Secretary Kim?

- Secretary Kim. - Director Wang.

Gosh.

What is this situation I've just witnessed?

No way.

Was the lady on the rooftop Secretary Kim?

Gosh, that can't be true.

It can never be true.

Do Ran, wait.

Director Wang, why did you do that in front of him?

Don't you even care about my position?

I clearly told you.

I don't want any rumor about us at the company.

Okay. I'll never do that again.

I didn't go to your place...

when Madam Park wanted to see me...

because of you.

But if you keep doing this to me,

it will give me a hard time.

I really want to help Madam Park.

But if you keep acting like this,

I can't visit Madam Park.

I'm sorry. I'll never do that again.

Hello, Ms. Oh.

Secretary Kim, can you come over right now?

Mother is looking for Myeong Hee now.

Okay. I'll be right there, ma'am.

Why? Is Grandma looking for Myeong Hee again?

I'll drive you to my house.

No. I'll take a taxi.

I don't want to ride in your car.

Taxi.

Gosh, wait.

My gosh.

Do Ran, get in the car.

No. I'll take a taxi.

My grandmother is waiting for you now.

Okay. I won't say anything to make you uncomfortable.

Just get in.

Do Ran.

I know how you feel.

Director Wang.

You said you wouldn't say a word.

I got in this car because of Madam Park.

I guess you still don't trust me.

I'll wait.

Until you don't feel uncomfortable around me.

I'll come close to you slowly...

not to put you in an awkward position.

So please don't push me away.

Dad, I'll go out for a walk with Myeong Hee...

and pick up some gingko leaves and maple leaves.

Mother, it's cold today. You should wear this.

- Here. Put this on. - Okay, Dad.

- By the way, - You look good.

why isn't Myeong Hee here yet?

She's on her way. She's coming soon.

And I'm coming with you.

Will you bring that concubine and her girl?

If you bring them, I won't go.

I won't bring them.

- Really? - Yes.

Geum Byung.

Myeong Hee. You got here so soon as Dad said.

Geum Byung, I'll come whenever you want.

So you should never get upset or cry.

Okay.

Just stop nagging me.

How did you come here with her?

I was tasting the new menu...

with the members of the secretary's office.

So I came here with her after we got a call.

Dad, Myeong Hee is here. Let's go then.

You can come with us.

And tell Mr. Kang to come.

I can't go with you.

You're the Dark Knight. You should come.

Come with us if you're not busy.

She wants you to come.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Let's go.

Mr. Kang. Mr. Kang?

Mr. Kang.

Gosh, what is going on?

Do I have to hide in my own house?

Are we worse than Mr. Kang...

to her?

Mother, how long are we going to do this?

Tell me about it. My gosh.

Gosh, it's beautiful.

The sky, maple leaves, and trees.

Right, Myeong Hee?

Yes. It's so pretty.

Here.

Gosh, Myeong Hee. You look so pretty.

- Do I look pretty? - Yes.

I want one.

Geum Byung, you look pretty too.

Am I pretty?

Yes. You look great.

No matter how much Director Wang likes her,

it is no good.

To Chairman Wang and Ms. Oh,

she's just a secretary and a caretaker.

This is nice.

- Gosh, this is nice. - I know.

Mr. Kang.

Yes, sir.

What do you think of Secretary Kim?

Pardon me?

What do you mean?

I think she's very nice.

She's kind and good-natured.

I think she's something of a rarity these days.

Right. I agree with you.

I know.

Chairman Wang thinks Do Ran is nice,

but he'd never think of her as his son's wife.

- Gosh, my hat! - Geum Byung, no!

Gosh, my hat!

No, Geum Byung!

- Catch me. - No.

Geum Byung.

Secretary Kim. Secretary Kim.

Do Ran.

- Secretary Kim. - Secretary Kim.

- Myeong Hee. - Mother.

- Myeong Hee. - Mother, no.

- Myeong Hee. - Mother.

- Myeong Hee. - Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim. Wake up.

Secretary Kim. Wake up.

Secretary Kim. Secretary Kim.

- Do Ran. - Secretary Kim.

Do Ran.

Do Ran.

Do Ran.

(My Only One)

Mr. Kang. Goodbye now.

It's sad.

I thought lonely Soo Il finally got a friend.

Did you say lonely Soo Il?

Oh, my gosh.

Who could make her that excited?

I need to go see who he is.

Why isn't Do Ran waking up?

I can't live without Do Ran now.

As long as Director Wang stays by your side,

I think I can leave you peacefully.
