What are they? A father-daughter con team?
(Episode 38)
President Hong. President Hong.
President...
Why? Are we here?
- No. You wear it. / - No way.
Okay, okay. Let's go.
What is this? Why are we here?
You don't say.
We were just passing by.
We were just passing by,
yet we happen to see Ms. Gil.
It can happen.
By the way, she's working full-time at the Center
as an intern.
It appears she'll be taking over as expected.
But she seems to be having a hard time.
I know how you feel,
but stop it.
Oh? You're back.
Eunjo, sit down for a bit.
Here. Is this real or fake?
How would you know?
Min Yang did say you were the best though.
Let's see how good you are.
It's a very well-made fake.
What?
Are you sure?
If you don't believe me, go check at the store.
I'm tired. May I be excused?
Huh? Sure.
Hey, wait.
Can't it wait until tomorrow?
How much do you like the lawyer?
Pardon?
Although the wedding's been held back,
you obviously like him
since you wanted to marry him.
He's nice and puts me at ease.
But I want to be cautious about marriage.
You might lose him if you're too cautious.
Do I tell her or not?
They'll figure it out.
But the Center is the sticking point.
How does he think he can give her the Center?
Good grief. What a joke.
Dr. Jeong at the cafe...
How far do you plan to go with him?
What do you mean?
You really seem to be enjoying your dates,
but there's been no progress.
Aren't you being too noncommittal?
What utter nonsense.
What do you think about Dr. Jeong?
No, never mind. Never mind.
Why are you taking back your question?
I'm not sure
about Dr. Jeong.
I've only met him a few times.
I'll have to see more of him.
But why are you worried?
You're like Fort Knox when it comes to men.
I'm amazed you're actually seeing someone.
Don't worry.
I'll study Dr. Jeong meticulously from now on
to find out what he's about.
There's no need. The truth is...
She'll nag me if she finds out
about the marriage license, right?
The truth is what?
I'm actually watching him very closely,
so you just learn the pawnshop business.
I'm doing a good job.
I'll check in with Min Yang frequently.
You're going to keep an eye on me?
Just worry about yourself.
Why that...
Remarrying isn't easy,
especially when it involves kids.
Myeongjo?
Oh? What are you doing here?
You didn't know?
I live nearby.
Nearby?
Yes. It's a bit farther up.
So you live in this neighborhood.
What are you doing here?
I'm on my way to visit
a friend who lives around here.
You are?
Since you're here, come in for a drink...
You don't drink, right?
Let's have tea.
Your sister was disappointed by my place, right?
This is how I live.
You're disappointed too, right?
But alas,
this is me.
You're quite confident.
I don't want to be a shell of a man.
By the way, did something happen to Ms. Gil yesterday?
You haven't talked to her since?
You don't seem to see her often.
Is something wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
Your sister is scared of taking the plunge,
but nothing's wrong between us.
Ms. Gil seems to need time,
so I'm waiting.
More importantly, Hong Seok,
who works at the Center...
What about Seok?
Seok? You must be friends.
I like him a lot.
I see.
What about Seok?
You won't open up to me,
so why do you like Hong Seok?
You don't like someone for a reason.
I'm hurt.
I want to bond with you too.
What do I have to do?
You're barking up the wrong tree.
Just be good to Eunjo.
Couldn't you come home earlier?
Think of me waiting for you girls at home.
You should've eaten without us if you were hungry.
Food doesn't taste good when eaten alone.
Did something happen at the Center?
Did that director chew you out again?
What's the matter with Dad?
What about him?
He'd been doing well for a while.
How could he scold me in front of that woman?
What?
What did he do in front
of his girlfriend?
Don't get worked up.
What did you do wrong?
What?
You must've done something wrong
if Dad scolded you in front of her.
What mortal sin would warrant him to scold
his child in front of his girlfriend?
Regardless of what I'd done,
shouldn't he have defended me?
Of course.
What do you mean?
You two have no conscience.
What are you talking about?
Dad's new girlfriend is rich.
So if you want to profit from Dad,
shouldn't you put up with that?
Busik, the love of your life, is on the line.
If I were you, I'd fawn on that woman.
That's ridiculous.
Don't you have any pride?
Keep one's pride
and profit too?
Have your cake and eat it too?
I must've not have beaten you enough.
Do you want to go again?
How about a proper round
in a ring with headgear?
Jeong Injeong, get off your high horse.
Since when have you been so ethical?
You're in the wrong too, Mom.
What did I do?
Profiting is different
from forcefully taking someone else's.
I aim to profit, but she's a thief.
You need to be reasonable.
What do you take me for?
She doesn't have a fever.
I thought she'd just chuck the fliers.
I'm so proud of her.
Maybe I'm being too greedy.
All she needs is to be healthy.
Excuse me?
Mama's girl?
It's true though.
Your mom runs over whenever something happens.
You're too old for that.
Ms. Jeong Inu,
let's just talk about work as we're at work.
Let's not upset each other
by broaching other matters.
I wish you'd say that
after doing your job properly.
I distributed all the fliers before going home.
Oh, you did?
You're on laundry duty today.
Laundry duty?
Yes. The laundry room is...
I know where it is.
The boiler is on.
Don't simply run the washer.
Rub out stains and grease spots
with soap before running the load.
And boil the towels.
Understood?
One might mistake you for Cinderella.
What are you doing?
Can't you see?
Geez.
We've done way too much together.
He can't do anything right.
I wonder what he's doing now.
These are a competitor's most popular products
currently in the market.
These are the products of Derma Cosmetics,
which recently acquired a pharmaceutical company
and launched a derma-cosmetics line.
They contain pycnogenol,
which sets them apart from existing products.
Pycnogenol is a powerful antioxidant...
We're working on our summer line.
Our all-natural product line set for release
in the summer will be free of sequestering agents,
preservatives, and synthetic antioxidants.
And here,
you can see the latest samples.
Let's look at them together.
The lab?
Only with his assistant?
Okay.
Keep me updated.
He's visited the lab many times?
So he plans to go all the way.
Who is it?
Someone's here to see you.
She doesn't have an appointment.
Who?
Oh, it's me, Dong Mi-ae.
I figured we had to meet.
You can't just barge in here.
It's fine. You can go.
Yes, Director Gu.
Take a seat.
I'll keep it short.
I'm in a serious relationship with your brother.
I thought it was over.
No. It's still ongoing.
Did you come to declare war?
I am someone your brother is seeing,
so please show me the proper respect.
I came today to give you this.
It's a voucher for dance lessons.
Dance lessons?
What is this random gesture aimed at?
Dance lessons?
You really don't know me.
No way, so take it back.
The dates, times, and venue
are all listed,
so give it a go.
Excuse me.
I'm done with what I came to say.
If you really don't care for this,
rip it, crumple it up, or whatever.
Just know that my intentions are sincere.
Hey!
She just takes off after her spiel?
(Top & Top Dance Academy)
A dance academy? Good grief.
How clueless is this woman?
What's wrong?
Are you being chased?
No, I'm still shaking.
I don't know how I got here from the Center.
You gave the voucher to Witch Gu?
Did she accept it?
I threw it at her.
She'll decide whether or not
to take the dance lessons.
It's so difficult.
By the way, I heard something strange at the Center.
What did you hear?
The Center will be franchised
and get a new owner.
Inu hasn't said anything?
No, she hasn't.
Neither has Injeong.
You must have misheard.
No.
It seemed like everyone knew.
But that's not what's important.
You know what is?
Ms. Kim acquired the Center.
What? Ms. Kim Haengja?
Yes, Ms. Kim, Geunseop's girlfriend.
But why hasn't Inu or Injeong
told me something that important?
Wait.
But your son will marry her daughter.
Didn't Busik tell you?
Oh? You're right.
Don't you think it's been fishy all around?
Of course I do.
Things have gone awry since Geunseop
started going out with Ms. Kim.
I wonder if Inu will be okay.
Why didn't Busik say?
(Certified Copy of the Register)
I got the marriage license,
and we'll soon adopt Eunjo and Myeongjo,
so I should wrap things up as planned.
Busik speaking, Mother.
There's something I've long been planning,
which I'd like to discuss with you.
Are you free tomorrow?
Yes. Yes, okay, okay.
I'll contact you once I decide on a place.
Okay.
Let's see.
I should cash out the interest on these too.
Come to the cafe, my wife.
Eunjeong, don't waste your time.
Everything in the safe is a copy.
I'm going out and then heading home,
so make sure you lock up.
- Okay. Bye, Ms. Kim. / - Bye.
As if the copies aren't real.
I'm off too.
Ms. Gil,
you'll get points deducted!
Dr. Jeong. Dr. Jeong.
Geunseop.
Yes.
Welcome to Jeong Geunseop's theater.
Please come sit.
Theater?
Yes. Please sit down here.
Here you go. And here.
Popcorn is key to a theater experience.
Enjoy as we watch a movie.
(Christmas in August)
Is there a guy you like?
No.
They're all dull.
You'll change your tune once you fall in love.
Who knows?
I don't believe this.
I have a headache.
Dr. Jeong Geunseop is a player.
That fool Kim Haengja enjoys everything
because all she's ever done is make money.
He's doing a good job seducing her.
I'll have to come up with a different plan.
It won't be easy to tear them apart.
Okay. Let's find a thing to focus on.
I must first stop them from getting married.
Okay. That's where I'll start.
Darn it.
Here.
You're crying over a beautiful movie?
I cried because it was beautiful.
- I really enjoyed it. / - I see.
There are many great movies.
Whenever we get upset over our kids
or whatever else,
let's watch a movie here.
Okay.
And about the Center...
Inu was in the wrong yesterday,
so let it go.
I didn't think about Inu when I bought the Center.
You didn't know she was my daughter.
I'll think seriously about Inu from now on.
There's no need.
There is.
I must think about Myeongjo, Eunjo,
and my new family Inu
and your youngest...
Her name's Injeong. Jeong Injeong.
Yes. And Injeong too.
Due to our encounter,
we've all become family.
So I'll think long and hard
about the best way forward.
There's no need if you're thinking about money.
With experience, I've realized
it's best when you have
just a tad bit less money than you need.
Even if I have a lot, it's not all mine.
Plus, free money is poison to young people.
It can actually ruin youngsters.
That's how I see it.
Yes. Your philosophy on money is admirable.
I'll boil the wash tomorrow.
Why put today's work of until tomorrow?
We have enough for tomorrow
and it's time to go home.
Why are you this inflexible?
I don't know what flexibility is.
Don't argue
and just do as you're told.
That's how I was taught,
and that's what I still do.
How can you just do as you're told?
You must make improvements where they're needed.
I don't know anything about that.
Just finish your work before you leave, Ms. Gil.
You're just being stubborn, right?
Stubborn?
I don't know how you became my mentor,
but you're picking on everything I do.
Do I look like I've nothing better to do?
Isn't that why they assigned me to you?
You don't seem to get any clients.
Ms. Gil Eunjo.
I can see why you were made my mentor.
To warn me against hiring people like you.
What did you say?
Hey, Gil Eunjo.
"Hey, Gil Eunjo"?
Did you just drop the Ms.?
Yes. I did drop the Ms.
Let go of me!
Let go!
I'm bleeding!
Hey, I've been yanking hair for 20 years.
Don't even try me.
Finish your work.
What?
Say what you want.
Feel free to do as you please.
I'll just reflect it on your assessment.
You know that assessment is meaningless, right?
She rubbed me the wrong way from the start.
She's only getting worse.
I want to quit because of her.
It's said that persevering is winning.
I'd rather suffer at the hands of Witch Gu.
Calm down.
Is it true Ms. Kim bought the Center?
How did you know?
You should've told me.
What for?
You would've only worried.
Who knows?
I might see another way.
She got it for her daughter.
What other way can you see?
Is that so?
Oh, right.
Ms. Kim had a daughter too.
I forgot as I was only focusing on the Center.
Focusing on the Center?
Your father was talking so big that
I thought he might give you the Center.
I had my hopes up for nothing again.
It wasn't for nothing.
Inu.
I'm more than qualified to run the Center.
Who's the Ms. Kim that bought the Center
that you're eyeing it?
Is Ms. Kim the woman Dad's going to marry?
How did you sneak in so quietly?
Let's eat first.
Not just Busik but the Center as well?
When did Dad become such a hotshot?
"Marriage is about profiting."
"Dad's only a dad if he gives me something."
Those were your words.
That's right.
So why are you lecturing me?
It doesn't suit you.
Then half of the Center is mine, right?
What?
That's how it should be.
If you get the Center, I should get half.
Am I wrong?
You're too greedy.
I'm too greedy?
Me? Good grief.
The Center must be worth at least a few million.
You're not greedy for wanting it all for yourself?
Inu,
you bear,
when did you get so greedy?
You're dreaming of getting the Center?
Such a huge thing without lifting a finger?
This is despicable.
This just isn't right!
Hey, where are you going?
What's with her these days?
Leave her be.
She wants half of the Center? As if.
She's no better.
How dare she lecture me on ethics?
That's not what Injeong meant.
Something's going terribly wrong.
Okay. I'll try talking to her one last time.
If it really doesn't work,
I'll give up on Jeong Injeong once and for all.
Miss Injeong.
What is this?
Did you come to see me?
Yes.
I ignored you the last time I saw you...
It doesn't matter.
Let's go grab a drink somewhere.
Never mind if you don't want to.
A drink?
Wait up, Miss Injeong.
Was it you?
What?
Did you go through my drawer?
What? What is it now?
I didn't do it on purpose.
It was open,
so I took a quick peek.
Is that so wrong?
Jonghui.
A company doesn't belong to the CEO alone.
You're too authoritarian.
Derma-cosmetics?
It was what your mother had pursued.
I know.
Then you must also know why it was abandoned.
I'm remedying the causes of the failure.
Alone?
By meeting with the head researcher at the lab?
The research is done by the researchers.
I'm just keeping on eye on the progress.
So you'll put it to vote at the next board meeting?
Fine. Go ahead.
I'll give it my sober assessment.
Fine. Give it your sober assessment.
Be objective.
You may not have my vote if I don't like it.
Do you know what that means?
You'll oust me from the presidency?
So you know.
Seokpyo.
Nephew. President Hong.
Chungseo, remain neutral.
I don't have anything
to remain one way or another.
But must we fight amongst ourselves like this?
"We"?
Seokpyo doesn't know anything about "we."
Me? I'm Korea's foremost money-grubber.
But can't I be the only money-grubber?
Why is that bear being so greedy?
It's annoying.
Even though my parents are divorced
and Dad has defied all sense of common decency,
I never considered myself unfortunate.
Keeping my head on straight
and being smart about my life
was my life goal.
And I was confident I could do it too.
However...
Things started going awry.
I don't like it.
Like a bug crawling on me,
it's unpleasant.
You must be very upset.
I'm not the only one having a hard time.
Too much is just as bad as too little.
It'll come to bite her in the butt.
Then what will happen to our family?
No matter how I look at it, this isn't right.
This just isn't right.
This won't do. Let's go.
Where?
We should stop her.
Come on. Let's go.
Okay. Let's go. Let's go.
Oh, man.
I'm cold and sleepy.
(Suk's Salon)
We're here.
(Motel) We're at your place.
Let's go.
I'm so cold.
Oh, my. Isn't that Ms. Kim's son?
Good heavens. I thought he was a model student.
Good going.
Ms. Kim's so busy dating that
she has no interest in what her kids are up to.
Motel?
He'll get it from me...
No. Why should it concern me?
Young people these days...
Oh? Was that girl Injeong?
No, no. Having long hair doesn't make her Injeong.
But she looked so much like her.
No, no. It couldn't be.
No, no way.
Where is this girl?
Why haven't you closed up yet?
Are you waiting for someone?
Of course not.
I came down to lock up.
Hey, the thing is...
No, never mind.
Why? Tell me?
Is Injeong home?
Of course.
Why do you ask?
Oh... I wanted to ask her about Chungseo.
No. I'll ask her tomorrow.
I'm off then.
What?
Why would she ask Injeong of all people?
But why is there no news from Injeong
or from Inu, who went to look for her?
No. No way.
Of course not.
I didn't raise my daughter like that.
How could she have seen him there
when he's studying in the library?
She'll get it from me if she was mistaken.
How dare she accuse my Myeongjo?
Didn't you say it was my house?
I swear I saw the sign for your mom's salon.
Later. We'll figure this out later.
- What do we do? / - What do we do?
Jeong Injeong!
M-Myeongjo.
