(Episode 19)
My legs hurt.
Why are you so committed to this?
You're under no obligation.
It's fun.
You find this fun?
I don't like working at the pawnshop.
It's dull and boring.
But I had a lot of fun working on the makeup show.
If I can do something like that again,
I can do this 100 times over.
That's surprising.
What is?
I thought you were a party girl.
I do like to party.
But I can't idle and party every day.
Can't you afford to do that?
Is that how I come across?
You're Ms. Kim Haengja's family.
It must be hard for people who live up top, right?
Probably.
You must have never lived in a slum.
You seem to be quite posh.
I lived in an area like this until after high school.
You did?
With my dad, Myeongjo, and mom.
Dad carried sick Mom on his back
and I held Myeongjo's hand
to climb stairs like these daily.
One time in the winter,
I slipped and fell on a snowy patch.
Mom could barely even hold a spoon,
but she held my hand so tight...
So tight...
I sometimes wonder
if we hadn't been so hard up,
would my mom
have lived longer?
Maybe I shouldn't have asked you to come.
I didn't come here for you.
It was purely for myself,
so don't feel guilty or grateful.
I'm not that nice.
I know.
Excuse me?
You and I are alike in some ways.
Let's go.
He can't lie and say,
"You're nice, Eunjo."
I'm like the king of being grumpy?
Goodness me.
Geez. What's wrong with this?
My goodness. I must've aged too
seeing as I can't even hammer in a nail.
Good heavens. What's wrong with me?
Ms. Kim. Ms. Kim, what's wrong?
Huh?
I must have pulled something.
I can't breathe.
Ms. Kim, let's get you to your room. Come on.
Okay, okay.
Good grief.
Good grief.
Ms. Kim, take deep breaths.
Deep breaths?
Why were you hanging the portrait?
I said I'd do it after school.
You're a doctor, not a carpenter.
I'll get someone else to do it,
so stay away from the hammer.
You'll hurt yourself.
Wait. You need a medicated plaster.
No, no, no. More importantly...
Hey, that guy earlier...
The guy who helped you bring the portrait.
Who?
Oh, that lawyer?
Yes, that's right.
What do you think of him?
What is this?
Is he someone I need to get to know?
Why? He's no good?
How should I know after one encounter?
Geez. It's not like you to be this testy.
What do you think about him?
He made something of himself despite
his underprivileged background...
So he's tough as nails.
You must not like him.
I prefer easygoing people.
That's no good.
A person must be a tough cookie
to keep his family from hardship
and overcome life's challenges.
Good grief.
Your sister isn't getting married right away,
so why the long face?
I don't know. I just don't like it.
I want to keep living with you and Eunjo.
My gosh. I bet you'll take off without looking back
once you find yourself a girl.
I have no girl.
Whatever.
My goodness. He turns beet red
at the mere mention of girls.
It's nice to be young.
Ms. Jang!
Jeongsuk!
Oh, hi.
What's this?
It looks like
a raffle prize from the new salon.
My goodness. You won?
Huh? Oh, this...
Geez. Tell me.
How did you win when you
didn't even enter the raffle?
Teach me how to do that.
It was Inu.
Inu entered the raffle after getting her hair done.
She said she needed the latest hair dryer.
Oh, Inu.
Ms. Dong.
Hi. Inu.
Congratulations are in order.
I hear you won this in the raffle
at the newly opened salon.
- Pardon? / - She did.
No. I didn't win anything.
The text said, "Better luck next time."
Go upstairs and fix us lunch.
- Run along! / - Okay.
What? You got a new rice cooker?
We just got...
Just go up without saying a word, you lazy bear.
Oh, I see.
Now you'll say it was Injeong.
Oh, right. I'm so forgetful these days.
That's right. It was Injeong.
Really?
Injeong! Injeong!
She's not back yet from work.
Come on down, Injeong.
You called?
You come right away at times like this.
Hey, you're so lucky.
Me? No, I'm not.
You won a raffle prize from the new salon.
Rice cooker. Rice cooker.
How did you win such a pricey...
Rice cooker...
Yes, that's right.
That was nothing.
Mom, where's my prize?
Cosmetics fridge?
Oh, the cosmetics fridge?
You won a really good one.
Pardon?
Fine, it was me. I won.
I went to see how fancy
they'd made it to lure
all the neighborhood ladies.
And I also needed
to know how good they were.
You have nothing to lose by entering a raffle,
so I had no reason not to.
Then why didn't you say so?
Why did you pretend you never went?
That's because...
But what did you get done?
You do own a salon,
so what did you get done at someone else's?
Go ahead. Look. Look.
Fine. Fine. I got a pedicure. A pedicure.
I got a pedicure.
Ow, that's ingenious.
I didn't even think of that.
They say no one can be trusted,
but I'm flabbergasted.
About what?
Inu's mother.
That sneaky woman...
Why are you guys always bickering like kids?
You don't know
that people grow more pigheaded with age.
I need to make dinner.
Should we order in?
Really?
I didn't feel like cooking.
Are you buying?
Sure. Order whatever you want.
Spicy seafood noodles and sweet and sour beef.
And wine, too. Okay?
Okay.
What's going on that you're being so generous?
Is your venture going well?
What salaried lawyer has a venture?
That's not the only kind of venture.
Romantic venture.
Geez, Mom.
Just fess up.
It's Ms. Kim's daughter Eunjo, right?
I have no reason to oppose if it is her.
No.
I'll actually secretly help you along.
No. Just leave it alone.
Do not meddle. Just watch.
Why are you so wary?
I'm not a ditz.
You think I'll botch it?
Just don't fight with Ms. Kim.
I'm keeping a low profile as it is.
Don't worry.
It must be around here.
I can't go any farther.
What's going on?
Oh? We finally found you.
Why did you come all this way?
It couldn't have been out of boredom.
We meet again.
Do you two come as a set?
I don't like that look.
Yes.
This is where I live my sorry life.
I can have some water, right?
Pardon?
Hey, wait.
I find the dismissal very unfair.
You can let me explain at least.
The reasons are so clear that
I don't think that's necessary.
Let's not waste time.
Can we eat something?
I have no food.
Oh, come on. Make us instant noodles at least.
Both Mr. Hong and I are starving.
Come on.
Wait. Hey.
Hey.
What's with that woman?
My thoughts exactly.
Why just two?
Don't mind me. Start eating in three minutes.
You've been with Genius for a long time.
And yet why do I live like this?
Everyone has a story.
So let's hear what your excuse is.
I admit to the tardiness and unauthorized absence.
But I had no choice due to the makeup show.
That's no excuse.
He really worked hard.
If you don't believe me,
ask Director Gu Jonghui of the Beauty Center.
I've been curious.
Who are you?
Oh. I'm Gil Eunjo.
I'm an outsider learning the ropes from Mr. Hong.
Why did you scoff at me?
Are you implying my mentor is no good?
I didn't know we had
so much inventory until I cleaned the storage.
I'm mulling over better inventory management.
Let's do it together.
I'll prove
I'm not lazy as we work together.
If I fail, fire me then.
Are you here to get your dismissal voided?
Did you get into the HQ Planning Team
after you were fired from the Center?
You don't say.
I climbed those stairs
to see how you'd beg.
This is my style.
I can't help it if you don't like it.
The noodles will get cold.
Talk after you eat. Eat first.
I'm not hungry.
Right. Of course you're not.
Looks good. Eat, eat.
(Kim Haengja)
It's this person.
Please find out everything you can.
This is it?
What do you mean?
Aren't her name, address, and number enough?
It wasn't easy accessing
the Community Center student profiles.
What do you want to know?
Just normal stuff,
such as family,
friends, and asset holdings.
I'm certainly not after anything sketchy.
I'm a law-abiding citizen.
Asset holdings aren't easy.
Everything's so strict these days.
Isn't that what private investigators do?
You'll have to pay more. Is that okay?
So how much?
Why did you come with me anyway?
Did you go to have cup noodles?
You tripped me up at every turn.
Hey, I told you to leave those jackets alone.
Why do you always do as you please?
They were sold at the flea market
because they were very popular.
It wasn't my doing.
You were right there.
Fine. I'll just get more.
I can sell them again.
I won't participate in another flea market.
How can the executive manager
not participate in an important Group event?
The CEO doesn't, so why should I?
Have you forgotten?
You are the CEO's proxy.
Change that if you don't like it.
How do I change that?
I like things as they are.
How long do you plan to be Seokpyo's shadow?
Until I die.
That is, if Seokpyo lets me.
Is that how you want to live?
What's wrong with how I live?
Don't get any dangerous ideas.
We should just carry on as is.
I told you I wouldn't.
So?
Are you going to be Genius' CEO or something?
Why not?
Hey, Gu Jonghui.
I'm not in the same position as you.
I'm a company shareholder.
Seokpyo's mom gave you those shares
so that you'd help Seokpyo.
I'd gone door to door
selling cosmetics
with Seokpyo's mom since I was 17.
I've played a major role
every step of the way,
turning a tiny store into Genius.
Isn't that enough to qualify me as the next CEO?
Okay, but what about Seokpyo?
It'd be only if something happened to him.
What's wrong with planning ahead?
Is that all it is?
What do you mean?
You won't purposely create a problem?
Are you saying I will do something to Seokpyo?
You know the answer to that.
Chungseo.
Don't be greedy.
It's not bad to live as we are.
How are we living right now?
You have no right to say that to me.
What do you mean?
I had many dreams.
I wanted to be a ballerina.
I also wanted to be an art teacher.
But Mom and Dad were too old to provide for me.
That's why I followed Seokpyo's mom around.
But what did you do?
You ran off with the house deed to become a singer.
I'm going to enjoy what's rightfully mine.
That's not to say I'll do anything to Seokpyo.
No matter what anyone says, Seokpyo is family.
Seokpyo.
When did you get back?
Just now.
How was the flea market?
Did it go well?
Of course.
It's one of our most important events.
When will you start attending as the CEO?
I will one day.
Not yet though.
Did he hear anything?
How much did he hear?
He doesn't know anything.
Couldn't you tell from his face?
Hong Seokpyo, don't trust the world.
Don't trust anyone.
Only trust in yourself.
Yes?
Sir, here.
Are you okay?
It's a detailed brief on Mr. Oh Daeyeong.
Like you said, he's an upright individual
without any issues.
His only family is his grandmother.
She's at a dementia care facility.
It appears most of his pay goes to her care.
I think you can trust him, sir.
Really?
Can I trust Mr. Lee?
What is it, sir?
Huh? Nothing.
My goodness.
Where did you go gallivanting?
Don't worry. I quit clubbing.
Where? I heard you pulled a muscle.
I put on a medicated plaster. It's fine.
A cold compress is way better than that.
Where is it?
Right here. Here, here, here.
Myeongjo only put on a medicated plaster for you?
He's out of it these days.
He must be stressed about the big exam.
You thought hammering a nail was easy?
And that's a cement wall,
so you need an electric drill.
I know that.
Yet you pulled a muscle from hammering?
Must be nice you have something to nag me about.
Who is it this late?
It's Bogeum.
Bogeum's good at hammering nails.
Why'd you call her when I'm better than her?
You should think of your age.
If you cause me grief later,
I'll pretend I don't know you.
That wretched girl
says the meanest things.
But despite what she says,
she has a heart of gold.
Eunjo.
I've always thought this,
but your room's tiny.
I'm bigger than your room.
Do you think it's just my tiny room?
The boiler keeps breaking,
the faucets leak,
and the toilet gets clogged.
Yes. This house is quite old,
isn't it?
But I bet Ms. Kim will never move.
Of course not. This house means a lot to her.
It holds memories of her time with your dad.
Say, Eunjo, you've been looking radiant.
That's nothing new.
They say being in love gives you a glow.
Love?
With who?
Aren't things going well with that lawyer?
It's nothing like that.
Why are you so worked up?
You're both of marrying age.
I have a lot on my mind these days.
Why? What is it? Tell me.
One guy puts me on edge
and makes me uncomfortable,
but he also makes me giddy.
Another guy is comfortable to be around
but doesn't make my heart flutter.
Which guy is better?
Play the field until your heart decides.
Isn't that two-timing?
Who cares if you're two-timing or ten-timing
if it's in order to find the best guy?
Wow. I'm surprised to hear it coming from you.
The strange thing is,
opportunities, money, and men
all come at the same time.
It's up to you to pick
what's best.
I'm two-timing on my own.
One of the two guys isn't even interested.
Do you mean Mr. Testy or Mr. Sweet?
Of course I have a feeling which it is.
- What? Come on! / - Mr. Testy or Mr. Sweet?
My goodness. What are they giggling about?
We got past a big hurdle.
Changsu, now Eunjo and Myeongjo are all grown up.
It's time to find them life partners.
Please send them someone nice.
Hi, Chungseo. What's going on?
About the moisturizer I gave you...
How is it?
It's good. Very good.
Specifics?
Is this urgent?
Otherwise, I'll organize my thoughts and call you.
Okay. Bye.
I should go see Ms. Kim.
What's gotten into you that you're cleaning?
Are pigs flying today?
Hello, Director Jang.
Just be your usual self.
They say people die when they change.
Don't say that.
Just consider it mid-life whimsicality.
It hasn't affected your smooth talk though.
Why...
What do you want?
Um, I'll go do some laundry.
Why do you keep coming
to a place of no concern to you?
Why else would one come to a salon?
I came to dye my hair.
Where should I sit?
Wait, wait.
Prepay. It applies only to you.
Geez. Why are you being so heartless?
You didn't have money for the sauna.
Go elsewhere if you won't pay up front.
Fine. I'll give you the money.
- Pay up. / - Okay.
But listen,
I'm planning a very important project.
How about it? You want in?
A project?
If this works,
not only your life
but that of the girls will turn around.
Good grief.
Then you can get a fresh start.
I root for and support your fresh start.
So it's your life-can-turn-around-overnight project.
What's different about this
is that there is positive collateral.
So you're here for money, aren't you?
Can't you help me out?
How dare you!
Out. Get out.
I'll figure out my own fresh start.
I don't need your support,
so get lost.
You'll regret it later.
Wait.
Is that jerk going to go to Inu again?
The phone is off. Connecting to voicemail...
Ms. Jang's life is never dull.
Are you expecting someone?
No, just...
The lawyer.
He might come by today to put on another show.
So you're the one who likes magic.
No.
But his tricks were fun, weren't they?
Is it the lawyer, not magic, that you like?
No. Definitely not.
I have my preferences, Eunjo.
And there's someone else I'm interested in.
Who's that?
It's a secret.
That's not fair.
How about dinner tonight?
Come to Dia after work.
I'll be waiting.
You went around looking for Mr. Hong yesterday,
and you make dinner plans with Mr. Byeon today.
Are you two-timing?
Yes.
Really?
Just two-timing?
I'll three-time or four-time if I can.
What?
You collected designer goods after
quitting clubbing. Now you're collecting men?
Yes.
And I'll dump the ones that I'm not into
until I'm left with the one and only.
But why?
Playing the field is more tiring than it looks.
I'll return them if I get tired.
You're too much.
What's keeping you?
I said we had to move all these.
Just the two of us?
You said you'd prove your diligence, right?
You're on a week-long probation with me,
so just do as you're told
without arguing.
Yes, sure.
The damages will be deducted from your pay.
Ms. Kim, it's me.
I heard you weren't feeling well.
Are you okay?
You hurt your back, right?
Who told you?
Who else but Miss Min?
Acupuncture is a sure-fire remedy.
Hey, should I go with you?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
What's that?
Oh, this?
My water kimchi turned out very well.
Oh, wow. This is the portrait you took that day.
It came out very well.
Must be because you're all good-looking.
The portrait did come out well.
But it looks empty.
You need to add to your family.
Should I play Eunjo's matchmaker?
Is there a suitable young man?
Who is he?
He's tall and handsome.
The handsome ones cause grief.
It's the person that counts, not his looks.
He's a very fine person.
He's kind and good-natured.
If a guy's too nice,
he'll cause his family grief.
My goodness. He's also able.
He's a high-powered professional.
A lawyer?
You figured it out?
My goodness. It'd be weirder
if I didn't when you're pushing so hard.
Seems like they're quietly dating.
Meddling only backfires,
so leave them be.
You knew they were dating?
What do you think of Busik?
Who cares what I think?
It's Eunjo's feelings that matter.
You're her mom.
You don't have to give birth to be a mom.
You've raised her for years.
I didn't raise her. We merely lived together.
At first, I was the letting the kids live with me,
but after some time,
it feels like they're letting me live with them.
You must feel lonely too.
What will you do once the kids get married?
You should find yourself a boyfriend.
Good heavens. A boyfriend? That's ridiculous.
If "boyfriend" bothers you, someone to talk to then.
Or a guy friend, a friend who happens to be male.
Someone to talk to?
Wow. This is the same person?
Kim Haengja has never gone to school.
Has never been married according to records.
She lives with her late boyfriend's two children.
Runs the pawnshop Dia at the market entrance.
Dia?
I think that's where I sold Inu's purse.
You can't get even get half of the pair for $2,600.
As for this dress, maybe you'll get one sleeve.
Yes. It's that rude hussy.
Gil Eunjo, an employee at the pawnshop.
Lives with Kim Haengja
and does nothing but spend Kim's money.
Not legally related in any way.
This won't do.
Why would a young person covet someone else's
possessions rather than work?
Gil Myeongjo, Gil Eunjo's younger brother.
Senior in med school.
What a total circus.
Kim Haengja must obviously be paying
his expensive med school tuition.
Impossible to estimate net worth.
He charged me $100
for this?
But one building is enough wealth-wise,
and she's definitely interested in me.
Jackpot.
I heard you asked for a background check.
It's something I needed,
so don't worry about it.
For the private lessons.
This makes me uncomfortable.
How about we become travel companions?
My heart races
and I blush.
Why are you here at this hour?
Should we go somewhere quiet to eat and talk?
You work at the Center. What brings you here?
I'm sorry to bother you late at night.
Looks like the time has come for Eunjo to marry.
I look more closely at young lads like him.
If you love someone,
nothing else matters.
When you're with him, you see
nothing else but him.
