Episode 28
What are you doing?
How dare you come here?
After playing such a dirty trick,
I guess you're scared.
Why? Are you afraid I'll tell
everyone at the company what you did?
What are you saying?
You did it.
You ruined our family business.
The business is ruined?
Now, you're blaming random things on me.
Don't try to run away shamelessly.
I met your friend.
I saw him with the con artists.
Don't try to pretend.
So what do you want?
Do you have evidence I'm related?
No, I'm sure there's no evidence.
I'm sure you hid everything
and made sure you have a way out.
Then we have nothing else to say.
Move aside.
How could you do this?
Killing my sis wasn't enough.
And you had to ruin our business?
Why? Just why?
Because of you, for acting like this.
You people keep popping up
and try to ruin my life.
And you expect me to stay quiet?
Whatever I end up doing,
you brought it onto yourselves.
Just as you killed my sis to erase your past,
are you going to get rid of us, too?
In order to get what you want?
Yes.
I can do that if it's necessary.
Do you get it now?
How far I can go?
So don't bother me anymore.
I can't do that.
Taejeong is over there.
That woman?
If you're scared of me appearing,
then I'll just do that, right?
You have no one to fear in this world
so why are you scared of me?
Isn't it because
I know the crime you committed?
So you'll be fighting me until the end?
Even when I warned you?
I'm going to fight until the end
because I'm not scared of you.
You're scared of me because of what you did.
You're nervous so you do more wrongdoing.
Your sins will swallow you up eventually.
He promised never to meet her again.
So why are the two of them together?
Stop it.
You'll season the food with your tears.
While running this shop,
we raised Gijin and bought a house.
I'm starting to cry thinking about it.
So it's such a grateful shop.
We should leave smiling.
Let's make the food
to share it with the neighbors.
Hello.
It's the young man.
How are you?
I'm here for a roll of kimbap.
But what's all this food?
Is today a special day?
It's the last day of business.
What? Last day of business?
So you'll give up the shop?
It happened that way.
I'll give you a hearty meal.
Have a seat.
Seonyu, did you give the money?
Yes.
He's here to eat kimbap
so I was about to give him some food.
Aren't you hungry too, Seonyu?
Have a seat and eat with Mr. Seo.
Mr. Seo, can I talk to you?
What's wrong with her?
I don't know.
I'll see you again next time.
You should have some food.
What's wrong with Seonyu's face?
Is it because Mr. Seo was here?
No.
She was like that before coming in.
I wonder why.
What's wrong?
Are you mad because I came to the shop?
I really came because I was hungry.
Actually, I moved out of my house
so I haven't been eating properly.
I'm not here to see you
so don't take it so seriously.
Mr. Seo, what you said to me last time...
Wait.
I told you
to think it through before answering.
I don't need to think.
I can't accept your heart.
I'm sorry.
If you can't accept it,
does it mean you hate me?
It's not because of you but me.
I promised not to love anyone.
You don't have to keep
that promise anymore.
You gave up becoming a nun.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I don't have it in me to like someone.
And I don't have the right
to love someone and become happy.
I didn't ask you to like me right away.
I just told you how I felt.
And I asked you to think about it.
Is that hard?
Why are you trying to push me away?
I can wait a long time
so think it through.
You can take your time.
I'm not going to change my mind
so don't waste your time.
The problems that I face are so great
that it's hard enough to solve them.
That's why I said I'd help out.
It looks like even the shop is closing down.
Is that the problem?
Then I'll help.
It's not such an easy problem.
No one can help me.
I have to solve this on my own.
I don't know the details
but don't you have a problem of your own?
Why do you bring that up suddenly?
You had left your home before
and even now, you're living elsewhere.
If you can't solve your own problems,
how can you help me?
I'm actually scared.
I'm scared
but I'm trying to win over it.
So you should take your own path.
I'm going to leave now.
Miss Lee Seonyu.
Yes, what you're saying is right.
But,
I'm not chasing after you
because I have no one to love.
And I'm not here
because I want to forget my problems.
Miss Lee Seonyu,
I hope you can understand
that my feelings are sincere.
Chairman, please tell us.
There's a rumor that Mr. Seo isn't on leave
but that he resigned.
Is that true?
I guess it's true since you can't answer.
What happened, chairman?
He did submit a resignation.
But I don't intend on accepting it.
Mr. Seo drew up the wrong contract
causing the company to incur a great loss.
Why won't you accept the resignation?
I understand what you're worried about.
But there is no reason to believe
it was Mr. Seo's mistake.
In this situation,
I can't ask him to be responsible.
What more is there to find out?
How long will you
be looking after Mr. Seo's back?
To be frank, this company
doesn't belong to you solely.
So the shareholders came on strong?
Yes, if the chairman
doesn't accept his resignation,
the shareholders will propose he be fired.
So while I was still nice,
she should've had Taejeong take the post
and none of this would've happened.
Mom, are you back already?
Why are you so early?
Mom, you did great work today.
Let's go inside.
Welcome home mother.
What are you planning now this time?
What do you mean? Planning?
I know you sent the shareholders.
I know you were busy meeting them.
Aren't I allowed to meet people?
But there are things you can't say.
You moved people
to have your son fired?
Is that what a mother should do?
A son?
Yes, that's right.
He's legally my son.
But when it comes to work,
family doesn't matter.
I should be professional about my work.
So did you have to
bring the family fight to the workplace?
Did I kick Jiseok out?
He left willingly.
And he wrote the resignation
because of what he did.
Did you forget what I said?
I said I'll have Jiseok explain himself.
Did he really do something wrong
or did someone try to trick him?
We'll find out if we check.
Yes, of course.
Then you should bring Jiseok home.
He left after he fought with you.
I'm not sure
he'll return after fighting with you.
You, you...
Mom, what's wrong?
Your face is pale.
No, don't get sick.
Mom, go to your room.
Aran...
Mom.
Mom, have a seat here.
I'll ask Dr. Song to come quick.
I'm fine.
Please call Mr. Kim instead.
Oh, okay.
Mr. Kim is saved as number 8.
Is this Mr. Kim?
This is Wuhyeon.
Wait a moment. Mom wants to talk to you.
Mr. Kim?
We'll have to bring Jiseok back.
Bring him even if you have to drag him.
Aunt?
Is something up?
You were acting strange
coming into the shop.
Why? Did they ask for more money?
They said $20,000 was enough
but they want more now?
No, it's not like that.
If that's not the case, tell me.
If you can't tell your uncle, tell me.
If you keep it to yourself, you'll get sick.
Just look at yourself.
I guess something is terribly wrong.
Seonyu, tell me without crying.
Aunt, we were tricked.
What? Tricked? How?
The people who created havoc at the shop
were ordered by Jang Taejeong.
What? It was Jang Taejeong?
So he did it on purpose to take us down?
Yes.
I found out after I gave them the money.
I followed him because it felt strange.
What a terrible fellow!
What about the money?
Can we get the money back?
I've been looking for him
but he's already run away.
His number has been cancelled.
My goodness.
Those men seemed rather suspicious.
Jang Taejeong is planning to take down
our entire family.
I'm going to seek him right now!
It's no use.
I met him earlier.
He says there is no evidence.
It's the same as when Jinyu died.
After killing her, he denied it.
Now he's ended our family business
and denies doing this, too?
Seonyu, what are we going to do?
Do we always have to live like this?
No, I won't let him get away with it.
What will you do?
Do you have a good plan?
I'll go next to Jang Taejeong.
Whenever he sees me,
I'll make him very scared.
I'm going to pay him back
for what he did to us.
Uncle.
Jiseok, Jiseok.
The chairman wants me to bring you.
Jiseok, let's go.
Mom is very sick.
You must go to her.
Wait, is grandma sick?
Yes.
Mom is having a hard time.
She keeps fighting with Aran.
Aran says it was your fault
and is yelling at mom.
Mr. Wu has moved the shareholders
and is putting pressure on the chairman.
That's why mom is having a hard time.
Mom says you can come and reveal the truth.
So come home, Jiseok.
Mom isn't calling for Dr. Song
nor is she taking her medicine.
She's just asking for you.
So let's go even if I have to drag you.
I'm home.
Welcome.
But why isn't Jihui coming down
when her husband is here?
I guess she's tired. It's okay.
Do you know the shareholders
met the chairman today?
Yes.
A special shareholders' meeting will be held.
If that goes well,
you'll be managing director.
But about the contract.
Did you take good care of it?
Mother is trying to call Jiseok back
to reveal the truth about the contract.
If people find out it was you,
won't you get into trouble?
Don't worry about that.
I've taken good care of it.
Really? That's good then.
I'm here.
Yeah, welcome back.
What are you thinking about?
Did you see the doctor?
Yeah, what about you?
Were you late to the airport?
No.
Why would I be late when I left on time?
I thought you met up with someone before.
Who would I meet?
I went straight from the office.
You really did?
Yes, that's right. Why?
It's nothing.
Oh.
You left your phone at the office.
I did?
I thought I left it there.
I'll take a shower.
L Food / Hiring
Jang Taejeong
Hello?
Jang Taejeong.
If you called me, talk.
Isn't that why you called?
So it was Lee Seonyu again?
So they were secretly in touch?
Idea portfolio to enhance corporate image
I don't know the details
but don't you have a problem of your own?
Why do you bring that up suddenly?
You had left your home before
and even now, you're living elsewhere.
If you can't solve your own problems,
how can you help me?
I'm actually scared.
I'm scared
but I'm trying to win over it.
So you should take your own path.
That was great food.
I don't get sick of such good food.
The beef skewers are so soft.
I'm sick of the food.
I want to have kimchi soup with rice.
You don't even know
what you're talking about.
You blame me for not being so elegant.
But your tastes in food are so plain.
We're plain people, not royal.
We can even become family of kings.
If your brother becomes chairman of L Food,
we'll have a maid and chef.
That would be a royal family.
No one is offering you such prizes.
Don't count your chicks just yet.
With Jihui's brother at the company,
how will Taejeong become chairman?
It's because of Taejeong's mother-in-law.
Just you wait and see if I'm right.
Your brother will become chairman.
Hey, open the door!
Open the door before I call the locksmith.
What is this sound?
Isn't that the lady with red slippers?
Hey, Madam Na, open the door.
If you don't want to be embarrassed,
open up!
Open up!
The door will break down.
Do something, mom.
I closed down the bar long ago
and she still calls me Madam Na.
I'm opening the door.
There I opened it.
What's wrong?
Look at yourselves.
After ruining my business, you're able to eat?
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Wouldn't you go crazy
after losing your shop?
Who took your shop?
Your son took it.
Don't pretend.
My brother?
Jang Taejeong hired people
to pretend to get food poisoning.
They took off with compensation money.
We're about to be living on the streets.
Oh, my gosh.
Why would Taejeong do such a thing?
He'll be the chairman soon.
Why would he run your tiny shop
out of business?
Tiny shop?
It many be a tiny shop to you
but for us, our lives depended on it!
Give me the money!
- Lady. / - Let go.
- Give me the money. / - Come on!
What's wrong with you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know?
Then I'm going to stay right here.
I won't take another step
until you give me the money.
Lady, what are you doing in our house?
I'm going mad.
So are you saying it's right?
Did you run Pungho out of business?
Taejeong, why did you do it?
They created a scene at the wedding
and I'm supposed to take it?
I can't let them get to me.
I have to teach them a lesson.
But you were too severe.
Pungho had heart surgery.
What are we going to do?
She's asking for the money.
Send her away.
You can tell her you don't know anything.
I'm hanging up.
Who were you talking to?
It's nothing.
You just got mad and yelled.
Who were you talking to?
With mother.
Why did you get mad at your mother?
It's a long story.
You don't have to know so don't worry.
What is it I don't have to know?
Why do you keep trying to hide
something from me?
I'm not trying to hide anything.
There are times when I don't want
to tell you all the foolish details.
It's really nothing so don't be sensitive.
I guess I can understand
why she flipped out.
He may be my son but he was too severe.
How could he ruin their business?
Hey, Madam Na, get me food.
I'm hungry after yelling since morning.
Get me some food!
I'm going mad.
How am I going to kick her out?
Job application
Ms. Wu, welcome.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you, everyone?
Have a seat.
Hello, chairman.
What happened to Mr. Seo Jiseok?
You said he would explain himself.
He left after tossing away the contract.
If he was going to come,
he wouldn't have left in the first place.
Please calm down.
We didn't gather here to fight.
We're here for the company's future.
We don't have time for the blame game.
We must designate a new managing director
so that we can restore the company.
You're right.
Ms. Wu, you're right again.
Chairman, don't be stubborn.
You should accept Mr. Seo's resignation
and designate a new managing director.
We have decided on Mr. Jang Taejeong
of the marketing department.
Chairman, why aren't you answering?
Your post is in danger.
What do you mean?
Are you saying you'll have me fired?
Don't you think that this situation
warrants us to say this?
Or bring Mr. Seo here.
Ask him to explain himself.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I apologize to the shareholders
for acting irresponsibly
before an important investment deal.
An apology isn't necessary.
Please explain the contract.
Is it true that you made a mistake?
The contract
was my mistake.
Mr. Seo.
I didn't check that
the amount was written incorrectly.
I recognize that it got out of hand
because I left.
I'm sorry.
Recognizing your mistake can't be the end.
How will you be responsible?
Are you going to quit the post
and the company?
No.
I'll resign as managing director
but I won't leave the company.
I'll find a job that I can do
to show you what I have to offer.
I'll take responsibility that way.
Why did you do it?
It's not your fault.
Why admit something that's not your doing?
Grandma, don't mention
the contract anymore.
How could I not?
We must fight
and find out who is at the bottom of this.
I said I was responsible
because I didn't want to fight.
Someone picked a fight
and if I fight in return,
we'll have to live as foes forever.
I want to find a way
to become family without fighting.
Grandma.
I hated that I was born into this family
which is why I kept running away.
But I won't avoid it anymore.
I came into this house led by you
when I was seven.
But starting today, I'll act willingly.
I'm sorry.
I called you into the company
by using your mother.
I was wrong.
Grandma.
I'm sure
one day you'll tell me about
my mother someday.
I won't act like a baby. I'll wait.
Thanks.
Thank you so much, Jiseok.
Jiseok's resignation is final
and the shareholders want you in his post.
So it's all ready.
Did Jiseok say nothing much?
Jiseok recognized his own mistake.
You took good care of the contract.
Jiseok wasn't able to find out,
recognizing it as his own fault.
If you had made a mistake,
he wouldn't have taken the blame so easily.
Take good care of the contract?
Where were you?
Did you go to another job?
I waited a long time.
I told you everything.
You should go.
Wait.
I'm here as a friend, not a man.
If you feel obligated about a friend,
then can't you hear me out
just as an acquaintance?
Wearing the shoes you bought me,
do you know where I went?
I met my family.
The place I really hated.
The place I kept running away from.
That's where I went on my own.
After avoiding it for many years,
I confronted it directly
thanks to you.
I gathered up great courage.
Can you tell me I did good?
You should approach them first.
I'll call you "mother" from now on.
You're my mother.
I don't think of you as my son.
I'm giving it to you for Pungho's sake.
Take it back.
Trying to cover up your sin with money?
It's just the beginning.
You must protect Jihui.
My dream is higher than yours.
There was a very funny lady
who applied to our company.
How dare you think of working here?
Is there a reason I can't?
