Eun-sung.
Just like today...
let's cook together
and develop great recipes.
Let's live a simple life together like that.
Jun-se, what do you mean?
I don't want to be...
just a friend to you anymore.
I want to be your man.
There is no man in the world
who would just rather stay friends forever with a woman that he likes.
Jun-se.
I want you to do the things you like,
and enjoy the small things in life like this.
I want to live like that too.
But...
I just can't do that right now.
Working for Ms. Jang is not what you really want to do.
You're uncomfortable around Hwan and his family.
Why do you cope with that?
I told you that there were many reasons.
To break someone's ambition?
It's stupid to invest your life on just hating someone.
It's a waste of your precious life.
That's not the only thing.
She saw something in me, believed in me and needed me.
But that's not what you wanted.
Yes, but...
I've already made up my mind and started. You said so yourself.
You can only hesitate before you start something.
I'm sorry.
I know I've been asking a lot from you.
I've received so much from you,
but your feelings...
I've been ignoring them.
I just assumed you'd understand my situation.
I understand.
But I have no choice until I find Eun-u.
I don't even know how he's doing right now.
So how can I enjoy my life and think about my future?
I'm the one who lost Eun-u.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I knew you would say that.
I just felt really bad for you.
And I wanted to be honest
with myself and with you.
I'm sorry.
But until then, I want to be there for you.
I want to be there for you until you find Eun-u.
You may have to wait for a long time.
Why do you think of that as waiting?
I'll still be spending time with you all along.
Kick out Eun-sung?
Do you expect me to live with her after all that?
Wait.
To be honest, I don't understand your great agenda.
I don't understand how you can say that your employees
are more precious than your own family.
But what can I do with that? It's your money and your decision.
But it's different when it comes to Jeong.
She's my daughter.
Why do you blame Eun-sung for the fact that Jun-se doesn't like Jeong?
Why shouldn't I blame her?
If it were not for her, he could have married Jeong.
That's also what you thought when you told me to offer the marriage!
Are you fine with the fact that your grandchild's marriage is ruined?
How can I be fine with that?
It's all because of Eun-sung!
If only you hadn't brought her home...
She lost her money and her man. Poor Jeong.
It hurts my pride so much.
How's Jeong?
What do you think?
She's on the brink of death!
Jeong, are you okay?
It's all because of you.
You made me poor and gave everything to Eun-sung.
That's not true.
It is true.
There's nothing good about her besides her money.
I know you are upset, but you are being ridiculous.
You're still taking her side.
How did this happen?
Why does Jun-se have to be involved with Eun-sung?
You seem very upset.
I've always wanted Jun-se to be Jeong's husband since they were little.
Yes, I am upset.
You were out here.
-You're home late today. -Yes.
I was with my friend.
We are doing a 30th-anniversary event for the second branch this Sunday.
Yes, I heard about it.
Did you also hear that Hwan's idea was chosen?
-Children's menu and playroom-- -That's enough.
Excuse me?
I told you to take care of it. You don't have to tell me everything.
Right...
We were in the middle of discussing something. Go inside.
Sorry.
I'm home.
Where have you been?
I was with my friend after work.
Friend? Is Jun-se your friend?
-Excuse me? -You really are talented.
How can you take everything from us?
What are you talking about?
What have we done to you?
Why are you ruining my kids' future in every way possible?
If you have a conscience, you can't do this to us.
Taking all of our inheritance wasn't enough?
That's why you're taking away Jun-se as well?
What?
You! Why did you lie to me before?
You said Jun-se was just an acquaintance.
-That was-- -My goodness, you sly wretch.
I thought you were suspicious.
What lies did you tell him to take him away from me?
What are you? Why are you taking everything from me?
Enough.
Stop embarrassing yourselves.
Go inside.
-What are you doing? -Go inside.
Let me go! What did you do at Jun-se's place?
What is wrong with you?
Don't you have any pride? Why are you blaming her?
-Then who do I have to blame? -Blame Park Jun-se.
What's there to blame? He's just not into you.
Hwan, what are you doing?
He said he doesn't like her!
Why are you doing this for a guy who doesn't even like you?
Because I am upset!
Why are you upset about it? What's so great about Park Jun-se?
Ignore people who don't like you. You ignore them first.
Park Jun-se is not the last man alive.
Don't even think about him. Just forget him!
I'm sorry I didn't do the dishes...
Jun-se, your father is here.
Father, what brought you here?
What is your deal?
Father, what's wrong?
Is that why you didn't want to come back to the company? For her?
How dare you refuse my offer for just a girl.
Father.
Jeong came to see you at the restaurant.
I told her you went home. I think she came here and saw Eun-sung.
What?
So Jeong's family knows about it too?
Where do you think I heard about this?
Her family is boiling with rage right now.
I'm sorry, Eun-sung. I didn't know things would get this messy.
It's not like you did it on purpose.
I've put you in a difficult position, haven't I?
I want to say, "no", but things are not so good here.
Good morning.
What about Jeong?
She cried all night, so, her face is all puffy.
-Make her some porridge. -Yes, I'm making it now.
I'm going to work early today. I have something to do.
Aren't you going to have breakfast?
It's okay. I'll get going then.
SUGGESTION BOX
Today is the suggestion box day, so write them out before you leave.
Suggestion box?
What's that?
You wouldn't know since you never stayed at one place longer than a month.
Once a month, we leave comments to each other,
including compliments and suggestions on how to improve.
But I don't know anyone well enough.
Then you can just encourage them.
"You're doing great." "You are pretty." Something like that.
Say things I don't mean at all?
-Sir? -Compliments can go a very long way.
Here.
It's a total of ten people including us and the daytime hall staff.
It will be anonymous, so you don't have to feel pressured.
Thank you, Ms. Ko.
Here, Su-jae.
You can write complaints too.
Compliments?
MR. LEE
TOO VICIOUS
HAN SU-JAE
YOU'RE NICE
GOOD LUCK
KO EUN-SUNG
SUNWOO HWAN
Let's go.
Let's go promoting, Ms. Ko.
I'll just put this in first.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG 30TH-ANNIVERSARY EVENT
Hurry up, my arms hurt.
I told you I would do that.
It's the scissors.
Give me that. I'm an expert at this.
Just hold it here. Hurry.
We don't have much time. Hurry.
Hurry up.
My arms hurt.
It's too high.
-It's the perfect height for men. -Do only men eat seolleongtang?
Are you messing with me?
You should hold it until I finish.
Done.
What are you doing?
-What am I doing? -I'm done. You can let it go now.
-Excuse me. -Yes.
We're doing a 30th-anniversary event at Jinsung Seolleongtang.
It's this Sunday. Can you come with your parents?
Can I see you there?
Me?
-Of course. You can come and find Ms. Ko. -Okay.
-Please come! -I will.
Let's go.
That was impressive.
-What was impressive? -You just smile to any man.
-What did you just say? -You have a lot of men around you.
Plus, you're dating Jun-se.
-I'm not dating him yet. -"Yet"?
That's right. Yet.
We are not a couple yet.
Then why would you go in and out of his house?
This is the 21st century.
Is it that big of a deal for a grown woman to visit a grown man's home?
It turned our family upside down.
You're the tragic heroine type of girl, right?
You've lost your father and your brother, yet you never cry.
Instead you always smile and go on like nothing's wrong.
Are you serious?
I'll take back what I said about your brother.
I don't believe this.
So, people like me, orphans who have lost their siblings...
aren't even allowed to smile?
If an orphaned poor girl like me
is frowning and crying all the time, what would you say then?
Wouldn't you say that I'm being pitiful and playing the victim?
Let's just go.
Hwan, you idiot.
Is Sunwoo Jeong not working here anymore?
That's how it seems, right?
What will happen to Eun-sung now?
It looked like the whole family flipped out last night.
How have you been?
What brought you here?
I came to see Jeong.
Mom, let him wait for a second.
What's the point of this? He doesn't like you.
He didn't say he doesn't like me. He just said he likes Eun-sung.
What a fool.
You resemble me too much.
Do I look good? If so, let him in.
You heard Hwan. Don't lose your pride.
-Jeong. -What are you doing here?
To give you your severance pay.
Severance pay?
You skipped work twice without notice, so, I thought you quit.
Jun-se! How can you say that?
Whose fault is it that I'm here like this?
Who do you think made me like this?
Who is it?
Jun-se!
Hey, you're the one who dropped the bomb without any warning.
Don't say you didn't know that I like you.
Did you forget that in college, you introduced me to all your boyfriends?
I only did that to make you jealous.
Still...
No one does that with three different boyfriends
I was just comparing them to you.
I broke up with them right after I showed them to you.
No.
You just wanted to depend on me.
It's because I took care of you since you were young.
It's not like that.
Jeong, you are like my sister.
I could have been more than that if Eun-sung weren't there.
No.
You are my sister with or without her.
From the time I wiped your nose and carried you on my back
when you cried at your father's funeral,
to now,
you have always been, and always will be my sister.
It's all because of Eun-sung.
I'm not dating her.
-You're not? -Of course not.
-I just have a crush on her. -What?
She just thinks of me as a friend. But I like her.
So, don't blame Eun-sung, okay?
I don't want anyone to be hurt because of me.
Did you come here for Eun-sung? Were you worried I'd do something to her?
What are you talking about?
You're lying in bed all day and not even eating because of me.
How could I not come?
Why do you like Eun-sung?
Do I have to tell you?
Yes, I really want to know. What makes you like her?
I like the way she thinks.
What do you mean by that?
There's no particular reason to liking someone.
But If I had to think of a reason,
it's her attitude
and her heart.
Something like that.
We get money for lunch expenses. Can't we eat something better?
That's why we should use it more sparingly.
This isn't filling enough to walk around all day.
We need some meat at least.
Have some more.
-What about you? -I'm not hungry.
You didn't even have breakfast.
Blood sure is thicker than water.
Mother found out that Jeong lost Jun-se because of Eun-sung,
and she's been giving her the cold shoulder.
So, is she going to kick her out?
Of course. How can she let Jeong live with Eun-sung now?
I feel bad for Jeong. You should comfort her.
Okay. I'll call you later.
Of course.
Charity can never be more important than family.
For you, Eun-sung.
We'll have a meeting in 15 minutes after you've read them.
Let's see.
Can you make it less obvious that you're Ms. Jang's grandson?
When did I make it obvious?
Grow up.
This is Mr. Lee.
Is it really that hard to share side dishes?
It's nice to see you working hard without acting like Ms. Jang's grandson.
Everyone has a different opinion.
Please think of me when you become the chairman.
That's Han Su-jae.
THE CUSTOMER IS KING, BE NICER TO THEM
Don't disrespect our customers.
She raised you with that money.
Don't be a jerk when you grew up healthy thanks to that money.
This is Ko Eun-sung.
You're not very likable, but I don't think you're wicked.
You wicked fool. You're so selfish and full of anger.
YOU'RE NOT VERY LIKABLE, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU'RE WICKED
Who's this?
I'm sure they'll send some people to help out from the main store on Sunday,
but it'll still be a hectic day.
It's an important day to promote our second location,
so make sure you come prepared to not make any mistakes.
Yes.
And you should make sure that all the supplies are enough.
Recheck the stock and make it more sufficient than usual.
I don't think you're wicked, Sunwoo Hwan.
You wish.
Han Su-jae?
I actually think you're a jerk.
Are you kidding me?
You know you're wicked!
Good morning.
Our bus is here.
You can go first.
JUN-SE
Hello?
You're sitting down all depressed, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
I don't have time to be sitting down.
I'm so busy with the promotions right now.
-You're doing promotions right now? -Jun-se,
I'm putting up flyers now, so I can't talk long.
I think I'm going to get off late...
Ko Eun-sung, what are you doing?
Jun-se.
Are you avoiding me?
-I'm not avoiding you-- -Why are you avoiding me?
What happened in that house? I'm the one who should be sorry.
Why are you acting like you did something wrong?
Can you let me talk?
That's not why I'm avoiding you.
I know you would be sorry when you meet me.
So, I didn't want you to know I'm sad.
And I have a lot on my mind today.
I'm sorry.
I know you're having a hard time, and I'm just making it worse.
See? I knew you'd do this.
I told Jeong's family that I just have a crush on you.
I told Jeong that too, so you should say the same.
Tell them you have no feelings for me, and it was just me chasing you around.
Which is actually true.
No, it's not.
It's not like that.
If I was in a different situation,
I might have liked you before you liked me.
It's just that right now, I'm in no position to...
I just...
I'm in no position to enjoy luxuries like love.
Like I told you, just until I find Eun-u.
I'm going to stay at my friend's place tonight.
Your friend's place?
Which friend?
My friend Hye-ri, who lives in Buam-dong.
What are you going to do now, Jeong?
Are you going to quit working at Jun-se's restaurant and find another job?
I'm going to keep working at his restaurant.
You're going to work there?
He said I can take a few days off and come back.
He said that they aren't dating yet.
Are they really not dating?
He told me earlier that he likes her, but the feeling is not mutual.
Who does she think she is? How can she not like him?
Mother.
The nuisance isn't coming home today.
-Who? -Eun-sung.
She said she'll stay at Buam-dong or something.
-Buam-dong? -Yes.
She didn't have to bother calling me. No one cares about her anyway.
Did you ask her not to come home?
No way.
It would have to be from your grandmother. She wouldn't listen to me anyway.
She's so tenacious.
Buam-dong?
Have a bite.
Do you think I'll say no?
Delicious, isn't it?
If someone sees, it might look like you made these for me.
I hope you are always like today.
If so, you won't kick me out even if my memory doesn't come back?
Grandma, why do you keep saying that I would kick you out?
I've never said that, not once.
So, if I am sane like today, you won't kick me out forever, right?
If you are like today,
I think it will be nice to live with three of us after I find Eun-u.
You're like my grandma who raised us after Mom passed away.
Ko Eun-sung, you need to move out and come to my place tomorrow.
Yes, I think I have to.
I'm going to tell Ms. Jang tomorrow.
At this rate, her grandchildren will wear you out to the point of death.
How did she raise them like that?
No, it's not that bad. They're both not that bad.
They say if you get beaten a lot, you start to build tolerance against pain.
You've become so tough now.
You think so?
Her granddaughter, Sunwoo Jeong, is
immature and rude, but not scary.
Her grandson, Sunwoo Hwan...
I think he acts so wicked...
-to hide his true self. -Look at you.
You've been through thick and thin with him...
Are you friends now?
Maybe.
You know what's really weird?
I fight with him a lot, but I don't hate him as much as we fight.
You really are friends.
And these days he does things that make you wonder,
if you're actually dealing with Sunwoo Hwan.
Maybe he's finally maturing.

You slept out last night.
We're going out soon. Why are you wearing a uniform?
Go change your clothes.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG 30TH-ANNIVERSARY EVENT
You're not very likable, but I don't think you're wicked.
Eun-sung asked me not to tell you.
Your grandmother believes that she has no parents and nowhere to go.
So, it'll put her in a bad spot if your grandmother finds out.
Who are you, seriously?
-Spy. -What?
I have so many faces, so I don't know which one is my true self.
Hey.
Stop asking me weird questions. Just ask me what you really want to know.
Why do you keep thinking I'm weird?
What do you want to know?
Never mind.
Look at this.
"Sunday, from twelve o'clock to six o'clock."
It's free if you are older than 65 years.
I can have free seolleongtang then.
I made a mistake.
You can't have free seolleongtang.
-Why? -You said it was free.
You are not older than 65. You don't even look 60.
Let me see your ID card and check.
-Do you want me to show you? -Yes, let me see.
I wish you were my grandson.
I was so surprised when I saw you. I thought you were, at most, 45.
-You're just sweet-talking. -I'm not.
What are you looking at?
What happened to you?
-What? -Have you been taking acting classes?
Hey. Do you know how long I've lived with my grandma?
I'm like a grandma expert.
Then how come I never saw you acting like that to Ms. Jang?
You weren't very smart in school, were you?
Grandma made me like this by bringing you home.
Forget it. That's enough.
Okay, let's do that.
-Do what? -Let's have a friendly competition.
Let's do it.
Hating you just because Grandma is giving you her inheritance
is being petty of me.
What's wrong with you?
She didn't say she's not giving me the inheritance because of you,
so I have no reason to hate you.
And I'll make sure to change her mind.
Do you really mean that?
I know you hate me because of your brother.
But I didn't break your phone on purpose to make you lose your brother.
I want you to forget about it when working.
Let's be professional when we work. Do you get it?
I get it, but--
You talk so well, but you lack comprehension.
EUN-SUNG
Yes, it's me.
-Grandma, it's me, Eun-sung. -Yes.
I have something to tell you.
Can I see you at your office?
Come home.
Home?
I'm not at my office right now. I'm going home from somewhere else.
My friend lives in Buam-dong now.
So, you want to move in to her place?
-I'm sorry. -Why are you sorry?
Did you do something wrong to Jeong?
Did you take away her boyfriend?
-I didn't, but-- -Then why do you have to move out?
I know you'll get upset when you see me.
Jeong is your granddaughter.
You got upset because of me.
I understand your reaction though.
It's not because I hate you or blame you.
I was just shocked.
My two granddaughters are involved with one guy.
Grandma.
That's enough. Let's go inside.
Why do you want me to live in your house?
Jeong's mom and Jeong...
They wouldn't want to see me in their house.
But you promised.
Things are different now.
Don't argue with me.
You're talking back to me now just because I've always been nice to you.
You promised to live in my house. You should keep your word.
Mother, you're home.
-I'm home. -Hey.
Did you come here to pack your things?
She's not going anywhere. Why would she pack her things?
-Mother. -You.
Come to my room with Jeong.
Mother, how could you do that?
I know that neither of you wants to see Eun-sung right now.
Then why are you asking us to live with her?
I would kick her out if she did this on purpose.
But she didn't.
You can't control a person's heart.
Just because Jun-se likes Eun-sung,
it doesn't mean that it's her fault.
I know you are right about all that.
Like you said, you can't control people's hearts.
When I brought her here,
I thought to myself that I was adopting a grandchild.
That is why I told you to treat her like family.
An adoption can always be revoked.
I took you in even when you tried to leave me for money.
I, Jang Suk-ja,
want to do what I think is right.
I tried to live like that.
I know that, but--
I've tried my entire life.
Can you please
let me live like that until I die?
Mother, you are just too good with words.
How can you make it so that we can't say a thing to refute you.
RETURNED MAIL
YOUR E-MAIL HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED
EUN-SUNG, I GET IT. JUST LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE.
LET ME KNOW HOW YOU AND EUN-U ARE DOING.
Excuse me.
I just sent this mail.
But it says I put in the wrong address.
It means the receiver no longer uses that email address.
She deleted her account?
INVALID E-MAIL ADDRESS
She deleted her account?
Are you leaving already?
A lot of people will start coming before eleven o'clock.
Are you going to be okay?
You have to be there with Eun-sung all day in front of Hwan.
He already knows.
It's your first time meeting him after he found out about you two.
Mom, please. Can't you stop saying things like that?
Don't act like you are used to it in front of him.
Don't talk to her if possible.
It's really easy to lose trust, even though it may be difficult to gain.
Who do you think made me like this?
Me, your mom.
You didn't do anything wrong.
That's why you have to be more careful.
I don't want you to become a sinner because of me.
She's going to move out of his house soon. Just wait a bit more.
To the center.
-Prepare the extra ripe kimchi, please. -Okay.
-It's pretty, right? -Yes, put them there.
-Hwan, put it here. -Yes.
Ms. Ko, did you prepare aprons for the main store staff?
Yes, it's right there. Those for the volunteers are there as well.
Here.
Thank you.
Eun-sung!
Hye-ri!
What are you two doing here?
He runs our company's soup kitchen.
Since we have a lot of senior citizens, I asked him for help.
Were you the volunteer worker?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't come here for you, so there was no need to.
And I'm just following my boss. So I didn't have to tell you either.
You planned this together, right?
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG 30TH-ANNIVERSARY EVENT
Welcome.
Hi.
Get in line.
-We'll use it for a good cause. -Thank you.
Have a nice day.
-Did you enjoy the meal? -Yes, how much is it?
It's free if you come with your parents.
This event is for senior citizens living alone.
We may not be able to donate, but we can at least pay for what we ate.
Of course.
Thank you very much.
Enjoy your meal.
Give me that.
Thank you.
-Eun-sung, go take a rest. -It's okay.
Go take a rest. You haven't rested at all today.
-It's okay. -Let's go take a rest.
Then I'll be back in ten minutes.
-The bill, please. -Yes.
Gosh.
My neck.
Everyone.
As you know, we will be donating the profit
we make today to senior citizens living alone.
Ms. Ko.
Our profit today was four and a half times more than usual.
As a celebration for a successful restart,
let's have dinner together!
Good job, everyone.
Great job, Hwan.
-It's okay. -Here, take it.
-It's okay. -Just take it.
It's fine.
It's hot.
Let's have a second round at my restaurant.
I prepared cool beers.
That's too far from here.
What do you want to do, Eun-sung?
Let's go somewhere closer like how he suggested.
It'll be great if it's somewhere we can sing and drink.
Sing and drink? I'd love that.
-Let's go. -Let's just go somewhere.
The next round is on me.
To our successful restart!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-Great job, everyone. -Great job.
Great job everyone.
You did a great job, Mr. Yoo.
Clean up and go home.
Okay.
Is volunteering your main job?
What does that mean?
Why are you here and not at your restaurant?
Your store needed volunteers for the event today.
Jeong is depressed because of you
and here you are, helping strangers.
How could you do that?
-Hwan. -Even if she liked you and you didn't,
you shouldn't be here when she's lying in bed right now!
Did you have to be at today's event?
Why are you acting like this?
Is it because of Eun-sung?
I said, is it because of Eun-sung?
Jeong's my sister.
-Since when did you care about Jeong? -What?
Don't use your sister as an excuse like a coward.
Just tell me what you want to say.
What did you just say?
Are you someone who can put himself in other people's shoes?
You are doing this to me because of Eun-sung!
Yes, it's because of Ko Eun-sung!
