I've never really
wanted anything or wanted to do anything.
But now,
I do have something I want to do.
I'll never let you take
Grandma's company from me.
I'll never let you steal her company.
Do you still think that I'm stealing it from you?
Don't repeat yourself.
You said that it's my fault that she gave up on me.
I get it to the bones now.
I just grabbed the opportunity that Grandma gave to me because she trusts me.
I have never wanted or asked for something that doesn't belong to me.
I know.
I'm not blaming you.
Then why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?
I'm just telling you.
I don't want to get anyone by surprise.
You mean,
you will make Grandma change her mind?
I will. No matter what.
Do so then.
Try to make Grandma change her mind.
-Are you that confident? -No, it's not like that.
Whether she leaves me her inheritance or not,
it had been her choice from the start.
If she changes her mind,
I can't do anything about that.
And the condition that she set...
It's not like I've accomplished it yet.
So you don't need to tell me these things.
Is that so?
Don't you regret two months later.
But,
I will do my best.
I told you, right?
I found a reason to want her inheritance.
All right.
We'll see about that.
What does he mean by that?
He thinks he's a movie star or something!
"I need to speak with you."
He said that and dragged her out.
-What a way to make a reappearance. -Reappearance?
-I was assigned to this branch. -I believe you start work from tomorrow.
Well, since you're here, follow me.
He has been assigned to this branch.
-This branch? -Yes.
I will not allow the same attitude you showed at the main branch here.
If you misbehave or disobey my orders even once,
you will be fired right away.
When your manager is finished speaking,
you should answer, "Yes" or, "I understand."
Yes.
Especially, customer service.
If you have trouble with that, I'll send you straight home, okay?
Yes.
To be honest, I never wanted to see you again.
This is most regrettable.
Do I have to answer that too?
I don't know why Ms. Jang sent you here,
but she asked me to look after you for two months and I will.
Still, I am willing to fire you if I get the chance.
You don't like me, do you?
Then rise to a position where you can fire me.
Mr. Lee, you don't like me, do you?
Then fire me.
What? Do you have something to say?
Are you smiling?
No.
It's good. You're a good cook.
You are as good as Mr. Pyo.
Did you call Hwan yet?
His phone is off.
I sent him a text and left a voice message. He'll call back.
-Ms. Baek! -Yes?
I am going to rest in Seung-mi's room.
-Okay. -Please call me when dinner is ready.
Okay.
Jeong, wait a minute.
Let me see if her room is clean.
I told her to clean up.
I knew it. My goodness.
Ms. Baek!
Yes!
Seung-mi's here.
Oh, okay.
Hey, let's tidy up this room somehow so that Hwan can sleep here.
Hwan's staying at our place too?
Yeong-ran's asking to stay a while. What can I do?
-Did she ask to stay? -Of course.
Do you think I would have asked them to stay over first?
She basically thinks of you as her daughter-in-law.
So she thinks that she can stay here.
What if Grandma figures it out?
She would be upset if she finds out that they are here after leaving like that.
I think this method might work on her.
She may be a great philanthropist,
but it's not easy to cut away her own family like that.
Hwan's phone is off.
Does Hwan know this too?
I think they talked to Hwan already.
He hasn't been home since yesterday.
But I drove him home yesterday.
Really?
Yeong-ran said he didn't come home.
That is strange.
Then where did he sleep?
By the way,
why did you come to the second branch?
You know that you are just doing me a favor if you work hard here, right?
I know.
If I increase the sales by 20 percent, I get Grandma's inheritance.
That's something for Grandma to decide later.
So, you want this to be
a fair competition, or something?
You can't change my mind.
Stop dreaming. My decision has been made.
Why do you ask so many questions? You just do your work.
I will take care of my own work.
What is he trying to say?
Oh, I don't know. I just don't.
She packed her stuff and left. She took Jeong too.
Fine. She can try what she can.
So she will not see me if I don't give her money.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm back.
Hwan, when did you leave in the morning?
The car keys were back.
I'm back.
Did you just come back too, Grandma?
Yes. Eun-sung, I need to talk to you.
Okay.
Were you surprised that Hwan showed up at the second branch?
Yes.
I mean,
I was surprised at first, but Mr. Lee told me about it.
I don't mean anything with this. So don't get me wrong.
He may be trouble, but he is still my grandson.
He asked to work at the second branch no matter what,
and I couldn't turn him down.
I see.
You'll know when you have your own child.
But children are like beings made of your own blood and flesh.
That's why it's hard to turn away from family.
I know, Grandma.
How would you know? You've never had a child.
When I think of my parents and Eun-u,
my heart still throbs and aches so painfully...
It must be harder for you.
I don't think it would be bad for Hwan to actually try it out and really work.
Don't pay attention to Hwan,
and just do your best to increase the sales.
All right.
I ran out of battery being outside all day.
But why do you want me at Seung-mi's all of a sudden?
What?
Hwan! Jeong and I ran away from home.
But what are we supposed to do if you stay there?
Second branch?
You will work at the second branch?
Hwan!
Mom, Hwan went home?
And what's with the second branch?
I'm not sure.
What do you mean?
Is Hwan back at your place then?
It seems so.
You didn't even ask his opinion before packing everything and leaving?
Well...
I mean, he ran away from home yesterday and did not return.
His phone was off all day,
so I thought he would obviously do the same!
The bed is too small, right?
-Should I go down? -Don't!
I feel so worried and nervous. I like you next to me.
Just go back home tomorrow.
This is ridiculous.
I was a semi-inheritor just a few days ago,
and now I feel like I have become a lost duck overnight.
It is not like Grandma passed away yet.
She can change her mind anytime.
Don't count on it.
I saw her will last time and the company was going to Hwan anyway.
Really?
Gosh!
Had I known this,
I should have asked Mom to marry me off to Jun-se sooner!
You should have. Why didn't you?
He told his dad that he won't marry until the restaurant gets settled.
So I waited.
What if he starts dating in the meantime?
He won't!
Jun-se is not like Hwan.
He is someone who keeps his words.
He won't turn somewhere else until he reaches his goal.
Hwan is not someone who goes around meeting girls either.
What? That's not what I meant.
Jun-se just isn't like Hwan who lives without a goal.
Hwan grew up thinking that he would be inheriting Grandma's company
so he didn't make any other plans.
Hey, you have been love-blind for so long.
Same with you about Jun-se.
Hey! Jun-se and Hwan are not comparable!
Jun-se is someone anyone would love.
That is why Grandma chose him as my future husband.
Exactly. That is why you should be more careful.
It would be trouble if he finds someone while you just sit here.
Hey! I am already feeling worried and anxious.
Don't scare me!
Oh, gosh.
Welcome!
Did you sleep well?
Sleep well? I couldn't sleep all night
and barely fell asleep in the morning.
I've been sleeping by myself forever so it was hard to sleep with you.
-I see. What are you going to do now? -What?
I mean, I don't mind if you decide to stay at my place.
But with Hwan back home, I don't know if you girls doing this will have any effect.
I know. But how do I go back on my own?
I made such a big deal out of it.
Is this the time to think about that?
If you and Jeong don't go home, it will be just Hwan and Eun-sung alone.
Why just two of them? Mother and Mr. Pyo are there.
But only they use the second and third floor.
I mean...
Is it not a little dangerous to just leave two grown-ups together like that?
Oh, you worry about nonsense!
Hwan doesn't think of Eun-sung that way.
Plus, she's even after his inheritance!
He would probably want to kill her.
Well, that's a relief in that case...
Hey! Go wash first. I'll prepare breakfast.
Mom! Can I help you with anything?
Talk or meet with Hwan as soon as you go to work today
and tell him to take Yeong-ran and Jeong home.
Welcome.
What is it?
The money I owe you.
I'll pay you the rest when I get paid this month.
How much is it?
See for yourself.
There will be a meeting this weekend. Think about ideas to increase the sales.
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Okay! Let's get to work!
Let's do our best!
-Our best! -Our best!
Again!
Let's do our best!
Our best!
-Our best! -Our best!
Good.
By the way, Eun-sung was promoted to manager when she was assigned here.
So treat her with respect.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG MANAGER KO EUN-SEUNG
Welcome. This way, please.
What would you like?
-Two seolleongtang specials. -Two seolleongtang specials.
Enjoy!
Welcome!
Enjoy!
You know how Eun-sung was kicked out of her home after her father died.
I know that.
But I wanted to know if there is something going on
between Eun-sung and her step-mother.
You know, I haven't lived long,
but I have learned a good lesson about life.
Finding good friends and good people is really hard.
So I'd never tell something
that someone I trust had confided in me.
Even to me?
Unless Eun-sung tells you herself, I can't tell you.
But something must be going on...
By the way, is something wrong?
You look worried these days.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Sunwoo Jeong!
What have you been doing not coming to work for two days without notice!
But she was...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I didn't show up without notifying you.
But you really can't fire me now.
I really have to earn money now.
Who says I'll fire you?
Do you know what I went through?
Did your dad tell you?
I know.
It's like a funeral going on at home.
She has ruined everything!
She has a lot of clothes.
But no men's clothes...
Her husband must have taken everything for his stay in Vietnam for a few years.
Not a single picture of her husband...
Maybe her husband didn't go to Vietnam. Did she get divorced?
Look how neat she is!
What a prudent housekeeper.
Maybe I'm bored because this isn't my place.
How can Mother not even call once?
Hello?
Who...
You might have left as you wished, but you can't come back easily, ma'am.
Oh, my! How did he know that it was me?
I called with Seung-mi's house phone!
I can't fool him!
What are you doing?
Can't you tell?
Making a fuss again...
Hwan, you drive well, right?
Why?
Go in the valet's place while he eats lunch.
I can do it after I finish eating, right?
-Take care, sir. -Thank you.
Have a safe trip home.
Here's your tip.
We are giving it to you because you are cute.
Thank you, but it's okay.
No need to refuse!
-I don't-- -"Thank you!"
Just say, "Thank you," if a customer gives you a tip!
How cute! See you again!
Welcome.
-Are you new here? -Sorry?
I haven't seen you before. Are you new?
Yes, you must be a regular here.
No, just a roommate.
Where did Jun-se go anyway? I need to eat.
Roommate?
Oh, it must be you! Lee Hyeong-jin!
Do you know me?
Yes, I know you very well.
You are the jerk who tried to hit on Eun-sung
just looking at her background,
but stopped right when you found out that her family had gone bankrupt!
-Who are you? -Me?
I am Eun-sung's friend!
Friend?
The same Eun-sung who you hurt when she didn't deserve it.
I am the friend of Eun-sung who is now the inheritor of Jinsung, you jerk!
Inheritor?
Hey! Are you Ko Eun-sung's friend?
Inheritor?
Jinsung...
She will be getting all the inheritance!
Say it again?
The owner of Jinsung decided to leave Eun-sung all her inheritance!
Really? All of it?
-Hwan! -Seung-mi.
-See you tomorrow! -Bye!
-Hello. -Hello.
-You are early. -I am.
Why do you keep on trying to work with her when it's this uncomfortable?
What?
You don't have to work here to turn your Grandma's mind around.
Knowing you...
It must be hard to see her again at home after seeing her all day here.
It's probably harder for her to see me.
What do you mean?
Nothing important.
Just something that...
I caused.
I was so upset and couldn't move at all.
Sure, of course.
I told Jeong to clean up.
It's fine. I can do it quickly.
I couldn't do the dishes either.
It must be Hwan.
It's Hwan and Seung-mi.
Really?
When was this taken?
Two years ago, on your birthday.
And this?
This was from your send-off party the year you went to the States.
I took one in secret.
Aren't you embarrassed to have my pictures all out like this?
It is the first time I took them out.
Before this, I had them in an album for only myself to see.
Hwan, I need to change and pack. Get out.
Okay.
Seung-mi,
can you get me my trunk there?
Sure.
If I knew that I would be sleeping just one night away,
I would have packed less.
Oh, my! This is the new design that I've been wanting to buy!
Seung-mi, can I have this?
That's a gift from Hwan.
From Hwan?
Yes, he got it for me when I got my job.
You have a lot of purses that you got from my brother.
I threw away most of mine thinking that I would go shopping in Hong Kong.
So I only have a few left.
Not this one...
I'll carry it.
-Give it to me. -Oh, thank you.
Seung-mi, are you driving us home?
-Let's go together. -You too?
Then three of us will have to cramp in the back.
Mom, I'll drive them.
No.
She's my friend so I should drive her home.
Thank you, Seong-hui.
I was a bit embarrassed in front of Seung-mi.
Rest at home, Seung-mi. Let's go.
So...
Did you say you would go work at the second branch yourself?
Yes, I did.
Why? Why did you say that?
If you do better than her, is Grandma going to change her mind?
No.
You do have a plan, right?
Hey, stop asking him!
Stop stressing my son out!
I'm not stressing him out. I'm just worried.
She's just worried for Seung-mi in case Hwan becomes poor.
Oh, Jeong!
Your mother and I have been friends for 30 years now.
I've lived with Mother for 30 years,
but I still can't read her mind no matter how hard I try.
How would Hwan know?
Oh, right. You're right.
Go in.
-Thank you. -Welcome.
Grandma's probably quite upset. You'll have to do well.
-I'll call you tomorrow. -Okay.
Drive home safely.
-Goodbye. -Okay, goodbye.
-Coming home now? -Yes.
Since we are here, let's talk a bit.
Okay.
Grandma,
Mom and Jeong are here.
Who and who?
Mom and Jeong...
Why would they come here?
Mother!
I am so sorry!
Why crawl back here when you said you will never see me again?
Leave now.
I don't need you either! Leave now!
-Grandma! -Ms. Jang!
Shut it and move!
You are not leaving?
-Leave now! Now! -Mother!
-Grandma!
-Leave right now! -Mother!
-Go!
-Grandma! -I am really sorry, Mother.
Mother!
You left saying that you'll quit being my family
since I won't leave you any money when I die!
-How dare you come back! -Grandma!
We just wanted to let you know how upset we were!
Never see me again?
Cut family ties?
Since when did parents have to pay their children to get their respect?
I heard people ignore and even abandon their parents
because they don't have money.
How are you different from those people?
If I had been an incapable old lady,
you would have abandoned me already!
Oh, Mother! That's not true!
I wouldn't have either, Grandma!
Fine!
It wouldn't be normal if you weren't upset
after hearing that I'm leaving all my money to a stranger
without giving you a single penny.
Exactly...
But still...
How could you say you'll cut ties with me because I won't give you money?
Thinking that I won't
leave anything to my own children.
Do you think I'm fine with this?
Parents want to give everything to their children.
I had to suppress that thought.
Do you think this is easy for me?
Then you should have tried to at least...
You should have at least tried to understand why I have done so.
Ma'am, this isn't healthy for you.
When I die,
did you really think that I would leave nothing for you guys?
I have told you enough why I am doing this.
To you guys, money was love.
No, that is not all true...
Without money,
I am not your mother-in-law nor your grandmother.
I don't need you either.
What do we do?
Hwan!
What do I do?
Mr. Pyo...
Mom and Jeong are still outside, Grandma.
Well, ma'am,
they came back in just a day because they didn't mean it.
Not everyone thinks like you, Grandma.
That is how we feel.
Frankly, this is like thunder on a clear sunny day.
Even thunder on a clear sunny day does not just strike.
There are always forewarnings.
Isn't that right?
If it's only for you, you should be congratulated.
But for the family, this is a nightmare.
They will be losing everything overnight.
It's a nightmare for you.
-What? -You don't feel sorry for the family.
You feel sorry for yourself.
Your future son-in-law is not going to own Jinsung Food Company now.
That really is too bad. I admit.
-But before that-- -I kept on thinking about
why you would have abandoned Eun-u.
Why do you keep...
If you couldn't reach me,
you could have just taken him to the police station.
Why would you have taken Eun-u all the way to Daegu?
Are we starting this again? Please stop, Eun-sung!
Probably, Eun-u who has a good memory
saw your nice brand-new car or that apartment.
You just didn't want me to know anything about you through Eun-u.
It was not because you really had no money
that you drove Eun-u and me miserably out to the streets.
-Now, Eun-sung... -In the end,
was it all because of money?
The reason why you want Seung-mi to marry Grandma's grandson,
and the reason why you abandoned Eun-u. It was all for money!
With what evidence are you saying this?
Don't you know how long Seung-mi has been in love with Hwan for?
Then have them get married.
-What? -I...
I will not say a thing to Grandma.
I won't tell her how you kicked Eun-u and me out three years ago
when you had already bought an apartment under Seung-mi's name,
or that you abandoned Eun-u!
Let Seung-mi...
Let her marry Hwan whom she loves so much.
Instead,
just know that Grandma's money
will never go to Sunwoo Hwan.
I will get it no matter what.
I will run Grandma's company according to her will.
I will also find Eun-u,
and make sure that he receives proper piano lessons.
That is why you...
That money...
You will never have it.
If you leave this house again,
you will never be able to come back.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Yeong-ran, do the chores from tomorrow. -Yes.
Grandma, I began working at Jun-se's restaurant from today.
Fine, then.
Go rest.
Mom, so what's going to happen to us?
Do I have to accept being poor?
Mr. Park will figure something out
and let us know.
But why would he not call yet?
I will make Grandma change her mind. Just wait.
-You will? -How?
Even though she made that decision,
I am still her grandson.
If I change and prove myself,
she will change her mind.
Is that why you went to the second branch?
Oh, Hwan!
I will show her that I'm capable of running the company,
no matter what.
-You should have done this earlier! -She's right.
How could I have known that Grandma would be this difficult?
Let's rest now. I'm so tired.
What's that?
-This? -Isn't that Seung-mi's purse?
-I think I bought that for her. -You are right.
-I asked her to give it to me. -You...
I can't even buy her things like that anymore. Did you have to take it from her?
Give it.
Seung-mi would be happy even if you buy her a plastic bag.
I'm going to rest.
You didn't get the answer you wanted, did you?
Mom, we are
so helpless.
Apart from praying that Eun-sung stays silent and keeping Father a secret,
there is nothing we can do.
I would rather have Eun-sung just get Ms. Jang's inheritance
and stay quiet,
and not know of anything.
You are ten minutes late.
It is just ten minutes.
It's a miracle that I'm here right now after having gone through
all that.
What did I tell you?
I told you it would be hard coming back.
Oh, of course. You did.
I'm sorry that I'm back when you wanted me to never return.
I never wanted that to happen.
What?
I thought it would have been better for the lovebirds without us.
You are saying something my brain cannot understand at all.
"Lovebirds"?
No! I did not say anything!
You said "lovebirds" just 20 seconds ago.
No, I just...
I saw you coming down from Eun-sung's room at night a few times...
Are you really being serious about this?
I mean, I...
All men like young women!
No, not me!
-You don't like young women? -I don't.
I like older women.
You do? Why?
What do you mean why? I just like them because...
I just do.
You are either at home or at the grocery store.
When did you go around meeting someone older?
Where did you meet her? What does she do?
There is someone like that. Someone who causes so much trouble.
Oh, my! Why would you like someone like that?
That is what I want to know too.
Rinse the rice.
Rinse the rice now!
Is that your answer to your father's plea to you to come back to the company?
My answer has always been the same.
But because it's you...
You're my father,
so I thought it over and over for days.
-Jun-se! -I like living like this.
I like watching people enjoy delicious food
and talk comfortably in my restaurant.
It makes me happy
like how Grandfather was.
Is this about your grandfather again?
Grandfather left me these words with this restaurant.
"Jun-se, live your life doing what makes you happy."
You're right.
You were able to avoid everything because he left you this restaurant.
I'm happy thanks to Grandfather.
But you are not happy as a father to have a son like me, right?
You know so well, but you still don't listen?
It's all Ms. Jang's inheritance.
I just think it's right to do what she wishes to do.
Am I doing this because of the inheritance? It's for the company!
You studied law too.
So you know why she will not leave anything to Hwan and the others
and give everything to that girl, right?
-Yes. -After her death,
if this case goes to court, Ms. Jang wants her to keep her seat
as the greatest stockholder!
That is how adamant Ms. Jang is!
You have been successful enough.
The life of a man...
turns meaningless when there is nothing to fight for.
You can enjoy and live your life.
You don't understand!
Father,
I'm really sorry.
Sunwoo Hwan.
Tell Ms. Ko to come here.
Hey! Mr. Lee wants you.
Hey!
I asked you to get Ms. Ko, not someone called "hey."
She's a manager and that means she's your superior.
You call your superior "hey?"
I'm sorry.
It must have become his habit.
There is no habit that can't be changed in this world.
Let's do it.
You're not going to do it?
I didn't say I wouldn't. Don't jump to conclusions.
Then try calling me "Ms. Ko."
It would be hard for me too.
I can do it!
You can?
-Yes. -Then do it.
Master.
Again!
Say, "Manager Ko."
Do it.
Master!
Don't laugh!
-It's not that! You keep on-- -I thought you wanted me to call you that.
So, what is it that you find so funny?
Hey!
No...
I said Manager, not Master.
But you keep on calling me Master.
Are you laughing at my mistake?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Why did you become a manager anyway?
You said it right.
I said it right before. Your ears are weird.
Let's just make things clear right now.
-About? -When we are at work,
just forget that I'll be taking away your inheritance.
What do you mean?
I know you hate seeing me,
but it's difficult for both of us,
ignoring each other like this.
I am doing it for you.
For me?
You said you lost your brother because of me.
You are the one who said you didn't want to see or talk to me.
I don't want to see you!
You drive me crazy because you remind me of Eun-u.
Don't talk to me.
The reason you didn't talk to me or ignored me was...
because of that?
Not because of Grandma's inheritance?
I will get Grandma's inheritance back.
Okay then. It's all settled.
No more harsh feelings at work?
Okay, fine.
Then,
go practice calling me "Ms. Ko." You were doing fine alone.
Dude.
You would stay up all night with a piano and music sheets.
So I studied a little about you...
Hey, piano kid!
Choose one.
What is your genre?
Stop!
-You like this? -Yes!
I must do it!
Okay!
If you want this,
put this on
and this one too.
You have to put this on to play the piano!
-Piano? -Piano and...
also this.
My sister...
This is called a win-win, okay?
You get to play the piano,
and I get to make some money. Okay?
So Eun-sung is basically taking away your boyfriend's money?
It's from Grandma, so she's not really taking it away.
Same thing!
I didn't know Eun-sung was that greedy and shameless!
How can she accept that kind of money like that?
Well,
when I think about how Eun-sung was in the past...
I don't know.
It's not like I knew her well.
What are you going to do now?
Your boyfriend is going to be poor now.
I didn't like him because of his background.
I'm fine with that.
But the rest of his family's struggling.
It must be hard for you too.
Eun-sung used to be your family.
It's hard to say this to you since you were close to Eun-sung,
but it is a little hard.
What is Eun-sung thinking?
Do you want me to find out a little?
You?
Who is it?
You surprised me.
What?
This.
What is it?
You must have given me everything except for your bus fare.
Do you know how hard it is to live without any emergency money?
So?
I'll just get 200,000 won this month.
It's fine.
I'm your sworn enemy, no?
I made you miss your father's last moment
and lose your little brother.
Isn't that enough to make me your enemy?
Yes, it does.
I just thought that I didn't like you,
but you are more like an enemy.
This is torture...
Eun-sung, this is your dad.
Are you doing well?
I am writing to you because I want to hear your voice.
Let me know your number or address where I can reach you.
I heard that you switched schools too.
I want to know why you didn't tell me.
And Eun-sung,
I will make sure that I don't become a father who will burden you.
So don't worry about me
and don't feel bad about me.
What is the matter with you!
Why is it so loud! Let me get some sleep!
Mom, you have money, right?
You need money?
Open up a store or something for Father.
Seoul may be big, but you never know.
Have you never run into people coincidentally?
I have many times.
Strangely, I have many times...
I will think about it.
There's Eun-sung's mom's memorial day next year.
I don't even know where he is now.
I will try to get in contact with him.
Do you know how to contact him?
-No. -Then how are you going to contact him?
I won't be contacting him.
I said I'll try to make him contact me.
What is she thinking?
My purse? I gave that to Jeong.
Did Jeong not say anything?
Okay.
Let's go watch a movie later together.
I have a movie I want to watch.
Now that all of you now know the atmosphere of the second branch,
let's hear some suggestions on how to make things better.
There isn't much trouble with the store itself.
Our company is great in employee training and has a great management team.
Our location could be a weakness. We are a bit far from the apartments.
So I was thinking of a delivery service.
Delivery service?
We don't have a lot of services for children as well.
I think...
I wish you would buy me something like this
-How much is this? -It's 3,000 won.
This is 3,000 won?
What's this?
