Episode 61

Are you going to talk to the President?

Yes.

Don't resign.

I don't want you to leave.

So please stay for me. Please stay.

Bongi.

I like you.

No, I love you.

So please don't leave. Don't leave.

I have to stay here with Donghae to find James.

James already has a family.

He's moved on from you.

No.

What do you mean "no"?

What will you do with Saewa's father-in-law even if you find him?

Saewa's father-in-law?

Do James and Saewa's father-in-law know each other?

What do you mean?

You just said something about Saewa's father-in-law.

No, when did I?

I didn't say anything of the sort.

Why are you even bringing up my daughter's father-in-law?

Anna. Anna. Are you ready?

Piljae! Oh...

I believe I've made myself clear. I'm going to leave now.

You have to go back to the States.

Anna.

Anna.

- Oh! - Who's there?

It's her again!

Wasn't that Sulnyeo?

- Ow... - What was she doing in there?

And what were you doing in front of that room?

I don't know what that Sulnyeo woman will do next.

Wasn't she in Anna's room just now?

What was she doing in there?

What if she did something to hurt Anna?

What?

- Are you okay? - Anna.

She said Saewa's father-in-law.

- I know I heard her. - Anna.

Anna, was Sulnyeo in this room?

Are you okay?

Did she do something to you?

What's this?

It's money!

Did Sulnyeo give you this?

Why?

Why would Sulnyeo give Anna all this money?

She wants me and Donghae to leave the country.

She wants us to go back to the States.

To the States?

What's wrong with this woman? Ah, really!

I hope she didn't figure out James is Saewa's father-in-law.

Why did I blurt that out?

- Ahjumma! - Oh, scared me...

You...

What's this?

Why are you telling Anna to go back to the States?

I have a reason for saying that.

You don't know what it is, but it's a very important reason.

What is that reason?

Are you trying to chase her out of this country

because you don't want to see Anna and I together?

You can try all you like, but I'll never have feelings for you.

Anna may disappear,

but you'll never take her place!

Do you think I did that to get some guy?

I did that for my daughter!

Anna is staying here to find James.

She's the one who's being selfish because of a guy.

You don't know anything, but you always treat me like I'm the baddie!

Why do you always take her side? Why?

I... I...

You always say I'm the bad one.

You forgot this!

What is going on here, really?

This is a lot...

Donghae.

Bongi...

Thank you.

Thank you for saying you like me when I don't deserve it.

But when I say I'm leaving the hotel, that has nothing to do with you.

We can discuss our issues later.

Which recipes were the most popular over the Christmas holidays?

Donghae and Bongi's recipe got the most orders.

In fact, people have been asking if they can't buy takeout

of the fried kimchi and white kimchi salad.

Really?

Fried kimchi and white kimchi salad...

I see.

Why don't you talk to the head chef about including that in the menu?

Yes, I understand.

What is it?

I didn't ask to see you.

Letter of resignation?

I'm sorry I upset you because of my problems.

You've been so good to me and my mom.

I don't think it's right that I stay here for my own selfish needs.

Are you saying you're going to quit?

Yes.

You said you want to stay here to find your father.

Yes, I've to find my father no matter what,

and I will.

However, I still don't want you to get upset because of me.

You've been so kind to me, and I thank you for that.

I'll never forget it.

I wish you well.

I'm going to eat.

Will you please listen to me, Dojin?

What more can I hear from you?

I've caught you sneaking around with that guy many times!

I don't even know who you are anymore!

It's not what you think.

I was asking him to leave.

I asked him to please stop ruining our lives.

I only did that because you don't trust me.

That's why I have to keep talking to him.

You have to trust me,

and you have to protect me from that man.

Please Dojin.

You finally got your wish to come true, Yun Saewa.

What do you mean?

Donghae... quit his job.

What?

It's what you always wanted. Donghae is leaving the hotel.

So?

So? What do you mean "so"?

He gave up the cooking competition because of you.

That was his only chance of finding his father.

Don't you feel guilty at all?

Guilty?

He got hurt trying to save you from that truck.

He lost his career as an athlete because of you.

And now, to help you save your marriage,

he's leaving the hotel.

How is that my fault?

It was his decision to jump in front of that truck to save me,

and it was his decision to quit his job.

You threatened him!

You were selfish and wanted everything to go your way.

You wanted to keep your marriage,

and you didn't care how he and his mother want to find James.

Hey, Lee Bongi--

Why does he have to be dragged around in the mud by you? Why?

That's his destiny.

Mother...

Yes, PD?

No, I'm at the hotel.

Yes, I'll be right there.

You'd better be careful.

If you run your mouth again, I won't just take it.

Mom! Mom!

What? Where are you going?

I'm going to make some money.

That way, I won't have to come to you to ask for money.

Why are you giving me the baby?

Because I'm getting a job, because of you.

That means you have to watch the babies, right?

Saeyeong! Saeyeong!

I'm already upset enough as it is. Why is she adding to this?

What am I going to do about Anna?

What if she asks around to find out more about Saewa's father-in-law?

Aigoo, my big mouth!

What am I going to do with my big mouth! My big mouth!

Don't worry.

Sulnyeo is not a bad person at heart.

She may be a little loud,

but she never does anything to hurt someone.

Will you ask Donghae to give her back this money?

And don't even think of going back to the States. Understand?

It's okay.

You have us. You don't have to worry.

Also, I'm going to stand guard outside your door from now on,

so that woman can't bother you. Don't worry.

She mentioned James.

James? Isn't that Donghae's father?

How would Sulnyeo know about James?

What did she say? Did she say James is in the States?

Is that why she wants you to go there?

She said James already has a family.

He's moved on from me.

And then she mentioned Saewa's father-in-law.

What?

So I asked her to repeat herself, but she said I was wrong.

She said she didn't mention him at all.

Oh, and I thought...

When Sulnyeo is put on the spot,

she forgets the facts and just talks nonsense.

You have to listen carefully to her.

You must be in shock. Why don't you get some rest?

Weren't you leaving?

Anna's trembling so.

How can I ignore her?

I can tell what you're planning in that dirty mind of yours.

You'll only be embarrassed if Donghae sees you.

- Hurry up! - Oh...

I know she said something about Saewa's father-in-law.

You must be running low on ideas since you're all alone now.

You don't have Donghae's good ideas anymore.

Will you leave me alone? I'm trying to think.

You won't get anything good out of that head of yours.

I've already got the prefect recipe.

I'll think of that lucky guy whom I've chosen to be mine,

and I'll cook a fantastic meal for him.

- So you have to stop coming on to Carl. - I told you to leave me alone!

What? Do you want to have a go at it?

How dare you yell at me like that?

Don't you know I'm your superior?

It's not that.

Donghae submitted his letter of resignation today.

Resignation?

Are you saying he quit his job without discussing it with me first?

Did Carl really do that?

Is it true Donghae quit his job?

He's the guy we're thinking will win this competition.

That's why we kept a ton of his interview tapes.

I'm going to lose my mind!

What? Donghae from the Korean food department quit his job?

I see.

What is Donghae planning?

He said he was going to stay at this hotel.

What are you planning?

Dojin.

You know you've been caught.

Carl Laker, do you think I am going to let you leave that easily?

Will you stop now?

I've already quit my job at the hotel.

Says who? Who told you that you can quit your job?

You may have gotten this job on your own,

but you can't leave it because you want to.

Vice General Manager--

You must remember what I said the last time.

Carl Laker, you can't leave until I've gotten my revenge.

I'm going to pay you back. I'm not letting you go until then.

Yes.

Mother.

I came to ask you for a favor.

I heard Donghae quit his job.

Would you mind not processing his resignation until a later date?

What do you mean?

He's handsome and he's got a good story to tell. Plus, he's a great cook.

He's definitely interesting.

It'll help your hotel if Donghae goes on that cooking competition

as Camellia's representative. It'll be like free PR.

I don't know. He wanted to quit his job, so...

You're making this difficult for my mother-in-law.

I understand what it is you're saying.

Mother.

I'll contact you to update you about what happens.

I hope you'll consider what I told you.

Mother, we should go and see to our work.

Fine.

Mom? Did you process Carl's resignation letter yet?

Not yet. What do you think?

I don't want him leaving our hotel.

I don't want you processing that.

Why? I thought you'd want him out of our hotel.

He's part of the competition.

I don't want my personal life to affect our business.

What do you mean?

Are you saying you'll keep work separate from your personal life?

Yes.

Do you mean that?

Yes, and if we let that guy go,

people will think of me as the idiot.

I don't want you to have to worry about our family problems

affecting our work because of my issues.

I've never said this before,

but your cooking has helped to motivate me to do better.

I hope that you'll never stop cooking, no matter where you go.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Now, say your goodbyes.

Thank you so much for all your help.

I'll never forget it.

Vice Chef.

Donghae.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Thank you, Sunae. I wish you all the best.

Bongi.

I know it must be upsetting to leave right before the finals,

but since you're leaving,

will you let me have your recipe? As a parting gift?

That's not possible.

Even though I am leaving here, I plan to keep cooking, and will need the recipe.

- Oh. - What's this?

Are you really leaving? What will the finals be without you?

Bongi and Daesam are no match for me.

Bong. Say something.

Don't just stand there like a statue.

I'll be making a salad with this,

so I chose the freshest, most crisp parts of the lettuce.

You'll make a kimchi salad?

Yes.

Donghae and Bongi's recipe got the most orders.

In fact, we've had people asking if they can buy takeouts

of their fried kimchi and white kimchi salad.

Why does he have to be dragged around in the mud by you? Why?

It'll help your hotel if Carl were to represent Camellia Hotel

at the cooking competition. It'll be like free PR.

If we let him go, everyone will see me as the idiot.

I don't want you to worry about work because of our family problems,

because of my issues.

Kim. I need to see you.

Donghae. Wait.

Hello? This is Anna Laker.

Mrs. Kim! Hello.

What? You want to see me?

Have a seat.

I'll go straight to the point.

Take back your letter and come back to work tomorrow.

President.

It turns out your recipe

brought in the highest revenue of all our Christmas season specials.

And the TV station wants to keep you in the competition since they think you'll win.

As president of this hotel, I cannot lose someone our hotel needs,

because of personal issues having to do with my family.

I can't let my hotel suffer any losses

because of something so personal.

I'm making this decision not as Mrs. Kim,

but as President of Camellia Hotel.

Personally, I want to process this letter and have you leave

for lying and deceiving me.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

Oh, Donghae.

Mom? What are you doing here?

I asked her to come.

Hello, President.

Have a seat.

Anna. You'll come back to work tomorrow, too.

Can I really get my job back?

Yes. I believe you'll

work as hard as you did before, or even harder in the future.

Can we really do that?

Can my mom and I come back to work at this hotel?

Yes.

I said you can, so that's final.

You should work for our hotel.

I don't want this to be too much of a burden on you.

I went through a lot of difficulty to get to where I am now.

I never do anything that won't profit me,

so you don't have to worry about that.

President...

But you'd better work hard, so I won't regret my decision.

Do you understand?

Yes. I'll do my best.

Thank you, President.

I thank you as well.

I'll work hard too.

You can leave now.

Anna.

What are you doing here?

He brought me to this hotel.

He is so kind.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me. I did what was necessary.

Why did the president want to talk to you anyway?

Donghae and I are going to work at the hotel again.

Mrs. Kim said we could.

Really? That's great!

I have an undercover duty shift to get to.

Take care of yourself. It's cold.

Piljae.

You should stay warm in the cold, too.

Oh. You didn't have to...

Okay. I'm off.

Mom, what are you going to do if Piljae mistakes your kindness for love?

He's always kind to me.

And besides, that scarf is his.

Still...

Anna?

Bongi.

Donghae and I are going to work at the hotel again.

Mrs. Kim said we can.

Really?

Are you serious?

Yes.

I thought of letting Donghae leave the hotel,

but he was a victim too,

in Saewa's little games.

Did you give him his job back?

Yes.

I know you like to keep work separate from your personal life,

but how will this affect Dojin?

He doesn't want Donghae or his mother to leave either.

He came to talk to me,

and asked me not to process Donghae's letter of resignation.

What? Why would he do that?

And won't this make matters more complicated?

What about Saewa? What about her feelings?

I don't trust her.

And I'm having doubts about her character.

Are you really going to get the kids divorced?

Donghae is not the problem anymore.

I have to get back in Mother's good graces.

Saewa.

Your mother-in-law came to the TV station earlier.

My mother-in-law?

Okay. I'll go home after I get some work done.

- Why don't you go and rest? - Okay.

Mother, you're here.

Why don't you stay for some tea before you leave?

Did you smile at Dojin like that as you were lying to him too?

Mother...

I'll see how long you can keep that smile on your face.

Why don't you stay for some tea before you leave?

Should I go to Seonok's house and steal their TV?

No, I have to do something to prevent Anna

from seeing the nine o'clock news with Kim Jun's face on it.

I'm home.

Mother, where's Saeyeong?

I should ask you that.

Where did Saeyeong go? Why hasn't she come back?

My arms hurt.

- Will you take the kids inside? - Okay.

- How have you been? - Oh, good heavens.

Do your parents still get angry at the mention of Kim Jun?

Does Seonok still hate him like he's the devil?

Yeah. Pretty much.

How can they forget what he did to our family?

He practically ruined us.

I'll be in my room.

Seonok hates him so much.

I have to find a way...

Hello?

Oh. Mrs. Kim.

What? You want me to come to your house?

Okay... Yes, I got it.

Why does she want to see me?

Saewa has only been back a few days.

Why does she want to see me?

I'll see how long you can keep that smile on your face.

Yes, Mom.

Mother-in-law wants you to come over?

Mom, don't worry. Do what she says.

And trust me.

But wear nice, respectable clothes.

Because. Just do it.

Sunbae, what's going on?

Why haven't you gotten back to me on that favor I asked you?

Mom. Will you go ahead?

Bongi and I need to talk about something.

- Okay, Donghae. - Go ahead.

Bongi. About what you said in the elevator...

It's true. I meant what I said when I said I like you.

I can't tell you why I like you, or how long it's been.

I won't be able to give you any answers to that,

but I like you.

I want to see you smile.

I want to be the person who makes you happy.

Bongi...

I--

What are you doing outside? It's cold.

- Go in. - Mr. Lee...

Come. Let's go.

Did Mrs. Kim really tell you to keep your job at the hotel?

And she is letting your mother work too?

Yes. She doesn't want me to be discriminated for personal reasons.

She told me to work hard.

What's gotten into that woman? She must have eaten something bad.

This is great.

I felt bad you had to leave right before your finals.

This means Donghae can get back to the competition.

Who do you think will win between the two of you?

Donghae's going to win.

His food is the best.

Songi. You shouldn't wear your heart on your sleeve like that,

or it'll just make guys conceited! Understand?

You should never be the first to tell the guy you like him.

You have to let the guy ask first, like I did.

Isn't that right?

What's wrong, Bongi? Do you have a cold?

No.

I was thinking about the competition.

I'm going to win first place in the competition,

so don't worry.

Donghae. Saewa's mother came here earlier and gave me this.

What did Saewa give you? What is it?

What kind of money is this?

She said she was sorry she was mean to me,

and told me to take this and go back to the States.

What?

And she even mentioned Saewa's father-in-law.

Saewa's father-in-law?

Mrs. Kim. I'm here.

Have a seat.

I'll get straight to the point.

- Will you take your daughter? - Excuse me?

She refuses to listen to anything I say.

That's why I asked to see you.

Is this about a divorce...

I'm home, Mother.

- Mom. You're here too. - Oh...

Who is that?

He's a reporter from a tabloid newspaper.

He heard rumors I'm having problems with my marriage.

I thought it'd be best to invite him over to show that we have no problems here.

Saewa...

This is my mother.

She must be having a friendly chat with my mother-in-law.

Isn't that right, mother?

Saewa's father-in-law?

Why would Saewa's mother suddenly mention Saewa's father-in-law?

We were talking about James, and...

James?

Yes.

I need to know more.

What does James have to do with Saewa's father-in-law?

Mr. Kim.

Why do you want to talk to my father-in-law?

Does he know James?

Why can't you bring home more money?

If you did that, I won't have to do this!

What? What did you say?

I don't deserve your love.

Why? Why do you think that?

I don't want anyone in this family dating each other.

Do you understand?

Have a seat.

Don't you think

it'd be nice to share a meal like this?

Should we go talk to Saewa's father-in-law?

I know him.

Saewa's father-in-law?
