Director Yoon. Director Yoon!
Mr. Lee, you're late.
Director Yoon, we have a problem.
Take a look at this.
What is it?
Eunha Food is launching this next week.
It's very similar to our new release.
How can that be?
I heard and went to check
at Eunha Food.
I think our product concept was leaked.
What do we do?
Okay.
I'll look into it, too,
so let's talk again later.
Okay.
How could this...
Pardon?
(Episode 121) Yes, okay.
I'll call again.
Is it true Eunha's new release is just like ours?
Yes.
What did the plant say? Did you call them?
Yes, just now.
They finished the entire first batch.
So we must release it as is?
Yes.
We can't dispose of the entire lot.
How could this have happened?
We'll have to readjust our marketing strategy.
The products are similar, so we can
differentiate by packaging and marketing.
It'll work out.
Don't worry too much.
Okay. Thanks.
Geez. Sumin wasn't like this.
This is all that scoundrel's fault.
How do I get him away from her?
Promise you'll leave him,
and take this money.
That's right.
Do you think money buys you a free pass?
I'll give it a go, too.
Okay.
Next patient.
You have no more patients,
but you have a visitor.
Hyemi, would you like tea?
I'm all set.
I'm here today because
after much thinking at home,
I realized that you, Ms. Rice Cake, I mean Sumin,
are not meant for Hyeongsik.
I'll do my best.
Who doesn't pledge a lifetime of joy at the altar?
The thing about marriage is that
things go wrong, not the way you want.
Let's be honest. What can you
do for Hyeongsik?
Can you do housework?
Can you take care of kids?
I want Hyeongsik to marry
a good mother and housewife.
In that sense, you don't fit the bill.
I know very well that I fall short.
But you're wrong
to jump to conclusions
and just write me off.
I don't want to hear that from you.
At least in terms of my love for Hyeongsik,
Uri, and Nara, I doubt anyone can outdo me.
Please don't say no to me at least.
Has your family given Hyeongsik their blessing?
The thing is...
Hyeongsik isn't the best husband material,
but he doesn't deserve to be disrespected.
You know very well how sweet
and dependable he is.
Of course.
That's why I like him.
I truly love him
and never want to lose him.
Are you still staying at Hyeongsik's place?
Yes.
Soon I'll...
You seem to be done here, so let's go.
I brought some side dishes for the kids.
Okay.
Coming. Just a moment.
Who could it be?
Who is it?
Oh... What brings you...
- Please come in. / - Is Sumin here?
Say hello.
This is Sumin's mother.
We know.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
The adults have to talk,
so will you play in the courtyard?
Okay.
Dad...
Go downstairs for just a bit.
Okay.
I'm sorry. Please come in.
Please take a seat.
This is our humble abode.
Is there only one bedroom?
Yes.
Where does Sumin sleep?
She sleeps in that room with the kids,
and I sleep out here.
This looks familiar, right?
I spoke ill of it when I saw it on soap operas,
but now that I'm in this situation,
I see why mothers resort to this.
Do you dislike me that much?
Yes, I dislike you.
This money
is everything I could scrape together.
Please leave Sumin.
Mother,
I fathered the babies Sumin is carrying.
Sumin and I can't split up.
Don't worry about that.
I'll put the kids on my family register if I must.
Mother.
I don't want you calling me "mother"!
Mom!
What is this?
No, right?
This isn't what I think it is, right?
Is this for real?
Did you really bring this?
That's right.
I brought all my emergency funds
to break you two up. So what?
This is all you brought to buy him off?
Good grief.
Drop your shoddy rich lady act.
I can bring more money if you want.
Tell me if you need more, and it's yours.
Mom!
When will you stop being so unruly?
Unruly?
Mind how you talk to me.
Look at how you're behaving.
How is this acceptable?
As a human being,
no, as my mother,
you shouldn't act like this.
I'm very upset and embarrassed.
All you think about is yourself.
It doesn't matter that
this is eating me up inside, right?
I'm the one who's upset.
You have no regard for me, do you?
What I mean is...
If you have
even an iota of regard for me,
you shouldn't do this.
You can't do this to me.
What will you do if I say you must choose
between him and me?
Mom.
What do you want me to do?
I love Hyeongsik,
and it goes without saying that I love you, too.
So why are you doing this to me?
Mom, I...
Please yield just this once.
I'm begging you like this.
Please.
Mom.
Why are you here again?
I knew you'd get pushed around again.
I only came to drop off some food,
but this won't do.
I'll have to stay a few days.
Hyemi.
Is it going well?
I want to get this done as soon as possible,
but my brain's not cooperating.
What's your strength?
Looking at a product from a consumer's standpoint.
Just like with our latest dry doenjang,
we need to think of novel recipes
so our product can do well,
even if its release coincides with a competitor's.
But I can't come up with anything spectacular.
You said every region has its specialty sauce.
Like regional rice and wines,
how about offering regional doenjangs?
Oh...
Yesan's Yesan doenjang,
Naju's Naju doenjang,
Seoul's mujang, and the like?
Yes.
With the growing interest in food,
people are demanding diverse food choices.
Okay. I'll give it a go.
I can do this!
You can do it!
Be careful.
Stores are being burglarized everywhere.
Why isn't he here yet?
What will I do?
Sunjeong, it's me! Sunjeong!
Are you okay?
Seunghun.
Sunjeong.
What took you so long?
I was scared stiff.
You must be shaken.
It's okay now, okay?
I'll be right here next to you.
Seunghun, don't go anywhere anymore.
You must stay right by my side, okay?
Okay.
Don't cry.
What is this?
Why are you sighing first thing in the morning?
Beomgyu, have some juice.
- Thanks. / - You, too.
She's finally getting married.
Who is?
At our last alumni gathering,
a classmate said her daughter was marrying a lawyer,
and I just got the wedding invitation.
Wow. The wedding is at Seoul's finest hotel.
So how can I not be angry?
My classmate's daughter bums around at home.
But she's marrying a promising lawyer.
But Sumin is a doctor,
yet her guy is a no-name writer
and a single dad with 2 kids.
Does that make any sense?
How did your classmate's daughter meet the guy?
I think she said it was through a matchmaker.
On the condition they set up his law office?
My classmate is rich.
That's a loveless marriage of convenience.
I don't know the ins and outs,
but it sounds a bit shady.
No, no.
They're selling their daughter.
It's better than giving my daughter to a nobody.
Geez. I much prefer Sumin's blinding love.
That's right. A marriage like that puts me off.
Beomgyu.
Yes? What?
Are you supporting Sumin and that scoundrel?
Huh? No. It's not that, but...
Um...
Beomgyu, come with me.
Hey, what did I do wrong?
Beomgyu, just go and...
No.
Just say you're sorry.
Seonyeong is very testy right now.
Beomgyu!
What is it, Aunt Sunjeong?
Mother seems to be wearing the pants these days.
You don't say.
Mother raises her voice more than father does.
Don't you feel sorry toward Sumin?
About what?
We caused the family grief for months.
That's why mother is so picky about Sumin's spouse.
Aren't I right?
Geez. That makes sense.
I do feel guilty toward Sumin.
This is why I said we shouldn't be sisters-in-law,
but you just had to marry Suho.
Wait. Are you putting this on me?
Isn't there truth to what I'm saying?
When will you come out and say you're responsible
for what happened 8 years ago?
I'm stopping myself
from saying more for the baby's sake.
As if that scares me.
- Move. / - Pardon?
How will the kids eat and get to school on time?
Oh, okay.
You should've just stuck with scalpels.
I'm taking cooking classes starting next month.
I don't care to keep a talented woman at home.
I know since I sell insurance,
but it's tough to work and keep house as well.
So find a man who can
get you a housekeeper and let you work.
I don't want to become a superwoman,
nor do I have plans to do so.
But I want to do my best for the family.
Reality is different.
You're really thick-headed, aren't you?
We're off to school.
Okay.
Have a good day.
It's tough, isn't it?
I'll stay at a friend's house starting today.
No. You're not going anywhere.
I'm making things harder for you and the kids.
My friend said it was fine, so don't worry.
Sumin.
Don't look so sad.
You and I must be strong.
We have so many people watching us right now.
All the more reason to show them
that we're fine and that we're happy.
You're better than me.
Will you bring me fried tofu rice balls later?
I'm craving your fried tofu rice balls.
Okay.
I'll bring you tasty rice balls.
- I'm off. / - Bye.
- See you later. / - Okay.
That's why
we must develop yet another new product.
Submit your proposals by next weekend,
and let's work together to start fresh.
Okay.
How is the dry doenjang that was launched
right after Eunha Food's product?
We're the latecomer,
so sales are lackluster.
We have promotional events underway,
but Eunha already has the upper hand.
I tend to be against overtime,
but let's focus, even if it takes some time.
- Okay? / - Yes.
- Got it. / - Yes.
Are you still working?
Yes, to release a new product.
I was worried.
You come every day to read storybooks,
but you were a no-show today.
Oh, right. Sorry.
Can you take 10 minutes off?
Huh?
Sit back.
This is nice.
It's wonderful to see you work hard,
but you need to rest, too.
Work is important,
but our family is more important to me.
What if you get sick?
We've changed a lot.
This would've felt awkward
even just a short while back.
Really?
Then shall I clean your ears and clip your nails,
like Eunsu does for Suho?
Really?
I'd like that.
I didn't know you were the jealous type.
Seniors meeting their deaths all alone.
Those dying without any family...
There's a lot of news about old folks these days.
It takes days before
their bodies are found, as they live alone.
And old folks also get into fatal fights.
It's because the aging population is growing.
And they say it'll continue to grow,
so it's very worrisome.
If more and more old people cause problems,
how will young folks respect us?
They'll only find us a nuisance.
It's all because old folks are lonely.
If their children visited
and called often,
such things wouldn't happen.
Geez. It hits way too close to home.
What's the matter?
Staying home all alone
is lonely and scary,
and there's no one to talk to.
And it's not like I can ask the housekeeper
to keep me company.
So it's nice staying here, right?
At least I'm not bored.
Since we're on the topic,
do you want to get serious about volunteering?
I've done it a few times.
Geez. I don't mean fair-weather volunteering.
Make side dishes with me,
come on deliveries to old people's homes,
and keep them company.
Can't I just give money?
Donations are great,
but if we get out there and help,
won't our twilight years be more meaningful?
But I don't know how to do anything.
You can do your part just by peeling onions.
Let's go to the welfare center
instead of idling around here.
Get up. Come on.
Aunt Sunjeong.
You wretched girl.
Is it nice to run away from home?
Why haven't you called your roommate?
I'm sorry.
How is your health?
I'm fine.
I can't fit in my pants due to weight gain,
but I feel good.
When will you return home?
As I'm sure you know, it's like someone died.
Seonyeong and Beomgyu fought again this morning.
Your mom has taken to her bed again.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
But you can't just do this forever.
Are you planning to move in with him for good?
Oh, my goodness.
You're not answering me.
You can't do that.
The bottom line is, this'll be your first marriage.
This will be Hyeongsik's first marriage, too.
This is why your mom keeps chewing you out.
Whenever we say anything,
you just keep defending Hyeongsik.
This is when you should cower
and skulk a bit.
How can you so be so stubborn?
You know how I am.
Geez.
Sumin, your fried tofu rice balls are here.
Oh, hello.
You must be playing house.
Aunt Sunjeong.
I brought some fried tofu rice balls for Sumin,
so you have some, too, Aunt Sunjeong.
I made the rice fluffy, so it should be good.
No. You two enjoy a warm and fuzzy lunch.
The third wheel won't play house.
Aunt Sunjeong.
So long, Aunt Sunjeong.
What's wrong with her?
I'm sorry I'm late.
You must be starving.
Fried tofu rice balls and laver rolls.
Should I not have chewed them out?
Sumin must be very upset.
No, no.
I'm her elder, after all.
She needs to know how it is at home.
Welcome. We're closed for...
Oh, my.
What brings you here this late?
Given what happened yesterday,
I couldn't just twiddle my thumbs.
Let's close up together.
Seunghun.
Give me the rag. I'll wipe the tables.
Oh, no.
This is dirty.
Sit down. I'll do it.
No, no.
I'll clean the dining area,
so you tidy up behind the counter.
Oh. Let's have dinner together.
I made a reservation at a Japanese place.
Oh, wow.
My luck is finally turning at middle age.
Really?
Oh Eunho, congratulations.
Your hard work has paid off.
Thanks, Eunsu.
What did mom and grandma say?
They're obviously happy.
What's going on?
Eunho passed the civil service exam.
Wow.
Eunho, congratulations.
I'll treat you to a great dinner.
Alright. It's a deal, Suho.
He's in.
I should go and congratulate you in person.
Nah, it's okay.
I'm having beer with Mr. Kim tonight.
You are?
That's great. Enjoy the beer.
Okay.
Okay, bye.
Wow. I'm so proud of him.
They say there are
40 or 50 applicants for each position.
It was tough.
He worked as a rent-a-driver,
got sucked into a pyramid scheme...
Those must've been growing pains.
He had it tough in his 20s,
which should be the heyday of his life.
Geez. What's wrong with me?
I'm welling up.
You're like a mother to him.
I've worried about Eunho, since dad passed
when he was going through puberty.
I'm happier than when he got into Hanguk University.
Only good things are in store now.
I'll work hard, too.
You'll tear up when I do well, too, right?
Geez. What an odd thing to be jealous over.
I'll bawl and weep when that happens.
Congratulations once again.
Thank you.
There have been some detours,
but you attained your goal.
But I'm not sure if this is what I'm meant for.
Is there something else you want to do?
I'm actually helping Hyeongsik with his webtoon.
I develop and organize the storyline.
Really?
I didn't know you had that kind of talent.
I was surprised, too,
that I had a knack for it,
since all I've ever done is schoolwork.
I enjoy it, but it's not as secure a job
as being a civil servant.
The decision is ultimately yours to make,
but each choice has its pros and cons.
Think long and hard about it.
No matter what you decide,
I'll root for you.
Thank you.
Let's go in.
I'm sorry that
I'm not feeling well on your day off.
Will you two be okay doing the grocery shopping?
We'll be fine.
Okay. And something came up at the plant
for Beomgyu and Suho today of all days.
Hey, Bitna.
Since you're pregnant,
don't strain yourself.
I won't.
Suhyeon said he'd pick us up after work.
Okay. Be careful, and see you later.
Okay. Go in and recuperate, mother.
- Go on. / - Bye.
The tofu will be delivered.
Zucchini, vegetables, onions, potatoes...
Is there a lot more to get?
Are you tired?
I'll take that.
No, no. It's okay.
Wait in the car if you're tired.
I can shop alone.
And who pushes a shopping cart like that?
Just hurry up with the shopping.
Are you hungry?
Come here.
This is the only snack cart around here.
This is fine, right?
I suppose...
Mom told me.
You like offal soup and chitterlings, right?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Here.
You said you were hungry, so eat.
Blood sausage is good dipped in salt,
but this is even better.
I know that.
Don't be patronizing like an older sister.
But I am older than you.
Consider it sage advice from someone older.
I thought you'd refuse to come today
since it was so early in the morning,
so I was taken aback.
I'm a very responsible person.
You said you'd go alone,
so how could I just sit back?
See?
What would you have done without me?
We were a great team today.
We finished way sooner than expected.
Don't put me to work at the restaurant.
I'm exhausted.
Okay.
Eunsu.
Eunsu.
Eunsu!
Big sister!
Sumin, can't you just live with us?
Hurry up and marry dad.
Why did you make so much?
Are you making abalone porridge for Eunsu?
Yes, you are.
Beomgyu, what are you doing here?
Did Seonyeong kick you out?
What do you want me to do?
Do you think I'm not upset?
I can't watch my brother suffer
your mom's wrath anymore,
so come to an agreement.
