EPISODE 11

To Gumi-dong, right?

-Yes, I'm in a rush. -Okay, ma'am.

When do you think we'll get there?

-Well, in about... -Please drive slowly.

-Slowly. -Pardon? Okay.

What should we do?

Is it Gyeong-seon?

No, it's Seung-cheol.

He comes over when he gets drunk.

I'll try to send him home. Just stay here, okay?

Okay.

Don't come out.

Open the door.

I'm sorry.

Open the door right now!

I can't do that. I'm sorry.

I'll send her home.

I'll send her home right away,

so please...

leave her alone.

What?

"Leave her alone"?

Gosh, you have quite a nerve.

Do you think I would thank you

if you tried to protect my daughter?

Move.

I know I'm being rude to you, but I can't let you in.

I'm the one to blame. It's all my fault.

So please take it all out on me.

It will hurt her emotionally if she sees you here like this.

Please don't do this, not for mine

but for your daughter's sake.

Let it slide just this once, please.

I'll send her home right away.

Please.

Thank goodness you're tiny.

What happened? Did he leave?

No.

He brought another friend and is being really persistent.

Then what do we do?

I told him to go buy some alcohol.

-So today, how about we-- -Okay, I'll leave now.

We don't have time for this.

-I'll get going. -I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Drive safely.

-As soon as you get home-- -I'm not going to call you.

Just text me.

Okay.

I know you're a good driver, but don't speed.

Okay.

Bye.

-I'll get you something to drink first. -I don't want any.

Jun-hui.

You know how I think of you and Gyeong-seon

and how much I care for both of you.

You already know that, right?

-I do. -Then how could you do this?

Well, sure.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes once in their lifetime, right?

I don't think it was a mistake that I decided to date Jin-a.

You might think so for now.

That's why you took things this far.

But Jun-hui,

let's not complicate things like this.

Both you and Jin-a have a whole life in front of you.

You shouldn't waste your time

on something petty like this, don't you think?

I know

you don't like what I'm saying.

I know that.

But what else can I say given the position I'm in?

We're like family, you know.

Don't you think this whole thing is very inappropriate?

We are...

just two people who fell in love.

Can't you try to understand us?

Can't you try to understand why I am being like this?

Can you please do that for me?

I... I'll even get down on my knees and beg you.

-Jun-hui, please. I'm begging you. -Ms. Kim.

-Please don't... -I'm begging you.

Ms. Kim.

Please get up.

You understood everything I said, right?

Right?

No.

I know that I lack in many ways.

Because I know that,

I want to prove that I can better myself

not only to Jin-a but to you and Mr. Yoon.

Please trust me and give me a chance.

Right.

It's you of all people.

I should be completely honest with you.

You do know...

that I have high standards for other people, right?

You don't meet my standards.

I know that people call someone like me a snob

and even accuse them of using their children to get what they want.

I don't care what they say.

Why?

Because I'm being like that for my children.

Every parent wants the best for their children,

not anything less than that.

In my opinion,

no parent would ever compromise their standards

unless they have no choice to.

If Jin-a's father had not retired already,

I would've aimed higher.

Do you think

I'm being like this because I think Jin-a owes me for raising her?

Not at all.

I'm doing this because I want not only Jin-a and Seung-ho

but even their children to have a better life.

You need power to live a better life.

What gives you power in a capitalist society?

Where do you think success comes from?

I'm still young.

-In the future-- -Gosh.

You're smarter than that.

I know that you understand every word I'm saying.

I won't tell others that you gave in to me.

So don't be stubborn.

I'm sorry,

but I can't give up on Jin-a.

No matter what you say, I can't.

I can never give up on her.

Don't make me hurt you even more. Please don't make things harder.

I don't want to say this

as much as you don't want to hear it.

Let's forget about everything that has happened between us

and put things back to how they used to be.

I'm sorry.

I can't do as you please.

Are you saying you'll go against me?

If that's how you interpreted it, I guess that's what it is.

I thought too highly of you.

I thought you knew better than this.

I'm sorry.

I can't live without Jin-a.

Why did you lie?

Why did you lie to me? Why?

Shut it. Follow me out.

Is this the best you can do?

Do you call this your best?

How dare you talk to me like that?

What did I do wrong?

Tell me. What did I do wrong?

Do you think you did nothing wrong? Is that what you think?

Yes!

You're unbelievable.

What were you guys doing? What were you doing here?

Exactly what you're thinking of.

Why? Should I just tell you straight up?

You little brat. Get off her. Right now!

I told you to get off her!

Stop it!

-Get off! -Stop it.

Get off her!

Stop hitting him!

-Jin-a. -Move!

Jin-a.

I'm okay. I really am.

Don't lie to me. You're not okay.

Why do you always say that you're okay?

Follow me.

I'm okay.

I'm okay, too.

I can get through anything.

I'll go now.

Jin-a must have gone to work already.

Did she say she had to leave early today?

Did she?

That day

when you took Jin-a out for some morning exercise,

was she really sleeping in her room?

Of course.

You'd better not be lying.

Of course I'm not.

You should think about the consequences of your actions.

Otherwise, you will end up regretting everything.

Hey, Jin-a. It's been a while.

I almost forgot your face.

That's why I came to update you on the store.

Don't bother telling me anything if things aren't any better.

You're making me feel uneasy.

Even if you focus on your job,

you might not be able to make things work at the store.

You should've spent less time with your boyfriend.

If that's why you slacked off, you deserve some disciplinary action.

I'll accept the punishment if I deserve it.

Oh, right.

Did you enjoy the movie with Mr. Gong?

It was a movie about bromance.

That's why I gave you two tickets.

But I forgot to tell you that I gave one to each of you.

Did you guys meet at the theater?

Well... It was nice.

The movie... The movie was nice.

That's a relief.

I envy you.

-Let's go. -Yes.

What is it?

Yoon Jin-a is here.

So what? There's nothing strange about that.

Mr. Jo called her to his office as soon as she came in.

What if she talks?

You said you're innocent.

Of course.

All I did was try to get along with the employees.

You know that.

Or don't you?

My opinion isn't important.

What matters is what the female employees think.

What do you think their opinion is?

What you should worry about now

is how you're going to survive this.

How I would survive?

Hey, what do I need to do? How can I get away with this?

Mr. Nam?

Right.

If one of the executives takes the bullet,

it won't be dragged out.

I know some who hold grudges against him.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Well, I guess I'll have to review it again later on.

I'm not totally satisfied with it,

but you did a pretty good job.

I'll try harder.

You should return to the office soon.

We can't keep a competent employee like you at the store.

Thank you for thinking highly of me.

Do you not want to come back?

You don't seem so excited about it.

No, I do.

The problem that's been bothering the female employees

is actually more serious

than what has been reported to me, right?

I was one of those

who tried not to make a big deal out of it.

So I have been

thinking about what I could have done differently.

Hence, I can't really say anything about it at the moment.

However,

I'm going to make sure I speak up this time.

Yes, you should. That'd be the right thing to do.

Have some tea.

Thank you.

"The color of the lipstick you're wearing today is very sexy."

"Did you smile at me at the karaoke bar?" And a heart emoji?

Hey, you guys should've cursed at him.

Why did you send him the smiley face emoji?

I had to send something to shut him up.

Gosh, how disgusting. This is making me want to barf.

Goodness, what the hell is this?

It happens all the time especially during our company dinners,

so I guess I got used to it.

I started neglecting the issue altogether at some point.

That's why I can't remember any specific incidents.

Then there's nothing we can do.

But you see,

I'm a bit worried about you guys.

Pardon me?

They say that a rotten apple

can spoil the whole barrel.

I know you guys haven't done anything wrong,

but you might get dragged into it.

To tell you the truth, I think that's what Mr. Jo is worried about the most.

-Mr. Jo? -Yes.

Let's just hope that doesn't happen.

I mean, it should not.

If any of you are falsely accused,

I won't be able to stand it.

Well...

What is it?

-I didn't intentionally record this video. -Okay.

I just recorded it for fun during our company dinner.

Okay.

Show me.

We're doing this for you.

You can't just keep backing out of it.

It's not like that.

If it doesn't get resolved properly,

we'll just end up humiliating ourselves.

And no one can guarantee that they will not get back at us.

What if we get fired?

Even if we don't get fired, we'll end up quitting

because of the way people judge us.

Totally. It'll be hard to find another job,

but even if we do, the rumor will follow us.

What do you think we should do, Se-yeong?

Let's hope that everything goes well.

That sounded so insincere.

I do feel bad for saying this,

but fortunately, you and I...

aren't the victims of this matter.

We should be understanding of their situations.

I don't think we should force them to come forward.

It'd be a good idea to give them some time to think.

Let's meet another time and exchange our opinions.

Let's talk another time.

Come in.

Here you go.

APPROVAL NEEDED

Gosh, Jin-a...

Here you go.

As usual, there's nothing to point out

even though I really wanted to find faults because you hurt my feelings.

What did I do?

Yoon Jin-a and Seo Jun-hui.

It's not like I was their matchmaker or something.

I was shocked by the news as well.

What did your parents say?

You said they're very picky.

Do they think she's good enough for him?

They'll never think anyone is good enough for him.

Does that mean they disapprove of her?

You are getting too excited.

Don't get me wrong.

-Enjoy your drink. -Thank you.

I don't want it.

I boiled these because you said it's hard for you to eat regular food.

Your friends...

Some of them are still working, right?

Yes.

Can you ask them if they can help Jin-a out?

We can't force her to date someone else.

Even parents can't do that.

I'm talking about a job.

Does she want to quit her job?

-I'm going to make her quit. -What are you talking about?

We have to break them apart.

And your solution is making her quit her job?

What is the matter with you?

Besides, it's not easy to find a job these days.

That's why I'm asking you to pull some strings.

Stop talking nonsense.

Gosh...

You worked for over 30 years,

yet you don't even have any connections.

If you managed to keep your position at work,

Jun-hui would never have dared to go out with Jin-a.

How lowly does he think of us?

I can't believe he thinks he deserves to date our daughter.

Fine, it's all my fault. I'm responsible for everything.

So what do you want me to do?

Should I write up a resume and look for a job?

Get a job if you can.

I can't believe you just said that! How could you say such a thing to me?

Why does he get so worked up?

My gosh.

Did we go through too many of them? I just can't decide on one.

Did the Chinese company ask for anything specific?

I don't think they have anything specific in mind.

We'll have to come up with something.

When will we start joining them?

As soon as they set everything up.

We still have some time.

Are you still unwilling to go?

Yes.

Don't you have any loyalty for the company--

I stayed in the States for three years.

I have some things to wrap up, so I will excuse myself.

He became so brazen ever since he started dating.

-Right? -Yes, it's so annoying.

My gosh.

Hey, Jun-hui.

You need to stop crossing the line.

What if you end up getting fired?

Then I'll get fired.

Hey.

I know you are in love, but get a grip, all right?

It's not that easy.

Do you have time?

Why?

Let's eat.

-You startled me. -My gosh.

Gosh, they're both weird.

I'm not asking anything because you'll say everything went fine with your mom.

To be exact, nothing happened at all.

That's a relief.

She must have been very understanding.

You don't need to force yourself to say that.

You can get angry all you want.

You can totally bad-mouth my mom.

I'm totally fine with that.

"Why is she so dismissive of me when her daughter isn't any better?"

You can bad-mouth her like that and get angry. I won't mind it at all.

I can take everything you say without getting upset.

I'm disappointed in you.

I know very well what kind of person you are.

But you're purposely saying all those bad things because of me.

And you look so determined to do worse at home.

Don't be like that. You're only making me feel uneasy.

It's because I'm upset.

Think about how I would feel when you say or do things you don't mean.

I told you that I'm fine with everything.

I'm fine as long as you don't get hurt.

Are you telling me to sit back and watch you suffer?

Why would you put it that way? You'll stay by my side at all times.

Like this?

Yes, like this.

Are you still disappointed in me?

No. I like you so much that it kills me.

You can't die without my permission.

Then what can I do?

Nothing.

Don't move your hand.

See? I can even control your body now.

-My gosh. -Raise your right leg.

Raise your left arm.

-Look at that. -I really can't beat you.

Did you think you could beat me?

Well, not exactly.

What?

Are you worried that someone who shouldn't know about us might pass by?

You're crazy.

Why? What's wrong?

Is there a guy who shouldn't know about us passing by?

Wait. Wait.

Why? Come here.

Okay, fine.

What are you fine with?

Thank you.

Where are you going?

I'm going to meet Gyeong-seon.

You can come with me if you can't believe me.

Take your medicine. I won't be late.

You can suspect me if anything goes missing.

You should take everything while you're at it. You're so dumb.

Then are you dating Jin-a because you're so smart?

Why are you dating her?

Because she's pretty.

Gosh, that idiot.

Why haven't you called me?

It feels like you're upset with me or something.

You know I don't like walking on eggshells.

It's because I know

your mom will nag you for hanging out with me.

She won't nag me.

So are you saying you're going to keep this up?

I don't want you to get scolded because of me.

I'd rather stay quiet.

You and Jun-hui must've been born just for me.

I must've been a soldier in my past life, and saved both you and Jun-hui's lives.

I think you guys are here to repay me in this life.

Do you want me to beat you up?

I'm being sincere.

Who else would care for me this much?

You always put up with all the stress alone.

Is Jun-hui having a hard time?

You know he doesn't show it.

Should we have just one drink, my friend?

Should we do that, my friend?

-Bring it here. -Okay.

Just one drink?

Hey, let's make a bet.

Seung-ho wants to make a bet.

Jin-a, don't cause trouble and go home.

You heard that, right?

Okay, don't drink too much.

Just one drink.

Okay, I'll call you later.

Gosh.

Sorry.

Gosh, I shouldn't have come. You are so annoying.

This is why everyone should listen to their mothers.

She told me not to hang out with you.

It's unlike you to defy her. You're a mama's boy.

Hey.

Let me give you a tip.

Every mother in this world loves playing a role.

That's why I decided to become a mama's boy.

If I act like an immature kid,

she'll think that she still needs to care for me.

She might nag me, but she'll feel good on the inside.

So what's your tip?

Well, this actually applies to Jin-a.

She should act like she needs Mom's help.

Then she should try to win Mom over by acting all immature.

But she's immature anyway.

I'm sure it'll work.

You know your mom very well,

but you know nothing about Jin-a.

In what way?

In every way.

Whatever.

You think Jin-a changed?

Sure, she did.

She's only like this today because of Gyeong-seon.

That's just how Jin-a is.

You're wrong.

How much do you know about her?

-What about you? -I'm her brother.

I'm her boyfriend.

Did you decide to be all brazen now?

Hey, try calling me your brother-in-law.

-Brother-in-law, my foot. -Hey.

-Brother-in-law? -Stop it.

-You deserve a beating. -I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry. -Do you want to die?

The fact that

We have a clueless tomorrow

Is a very exciting thing

Although it may be scary

That's what life is

No one can know the future

Hey, wait. Isn't that my brother?

It's Jun-hui.

-Jun-hui. -Hey.

Hey, he's my brother.

He's my boyfriend.

Hey, I'm your sister-in-law.

My goodness, my sister-in-law.

Gosh.

-Why did you drink so much? -Cheers.

Cheers.

That's a turnoff, right?

She's cute.

Hey, get lost.

Get out of my sight.

Sure.

Go on.

Seung-ho.

I never asked you for any kind of favors until now.

Why are you getting so serious?

Okay, I'll be there for Jun-hui when he needs me.

No, it's about Jin-a.

Please be there for her.

That's what you can do for Jun-hui.

I know what you mean.

You probably already thought about this,

but no one knows...

what might happen to them.

But personally,

I'm going to make sure that I don't lose my friend

no matter what.

That's what I'm going to do, so I want you to do the same.

Shouldn't you be asking me

instead of giving me orders?

Just do what I tell you to do.

I don't like Jun-hui that much.

Even so, stick by his side.

Don't make any other best friends.

You can't force that upon me.

I have my own thoughts and preferences.

Do you hate Jun-hui that much?

My gosh.

Will you do me a favor if I get on my knees and plead?

Seung-ho, please be there for him.

I'm being sincere.

What are you doing? Stop it.

-You little jerk. -What are you doing?

If I tell you to do something, just do it.

How dare you talk back to me like that?

-Okay. Stop it. -Just do as I say.

My gosh.

Let's not betray each other.

Cheers.

I'm not going to force you to testify.

And I won't blame you even if you choose not to.

Just know

that I feel uneasy for burdening you

with something like this.

I'm Yoon Jin-a, an assistant manager of the franchise operations team.

I'd like to share what I experienced in the last ten years

working as a supervisor.

Everything is based on facts,

and I'm willing to give testimony whenever it's necessary.

Oh, hello.

Hey, you must be doing all the housework because of your mom's injury.

Well, not everything.

You will make a good wife.

-Get home safely. -Thank you. Take care.

Bye.

Why are three people needed just to set the table?

Just sit down, Seung-ho.

-After I do this. -Sit down already. It's so distracting.

-Eat up. -Okay.

It's 3 p.m. today.

I told you to make yourself available for a blind date this weekend.

It's already been arranged, so you have to be there.

-Mom. -Be quiet.

I'm going to find a nice guy for her, end of discussion.

Do you think we're like those rich families or what?

Don't you think blind dates are so old-fashioned?

That's what rich families do for their children.

Shut your mouth, will you?

I told you it's at 3 p.m.

I have plans today.

What?

Didn't you hear me? I said I have plans today.

Don't even start with me.

Mom.

Just do as I say, okay?

Don't. You don't need to listen to your mom.

No, I'll scold you if you do as she says.

What do you think you are doing now?

Look who's talking. You didn't even ask her if she'd be up for it.

I know she's our child, but you can't order her around.

What is wrong with you? Show some class!

What did you just say?

How dare you! How could you say such a thing?

I can say whatever I want!

Dad.

And you too.

Why can't you speak up when you don't want to do something?

I'm going to say something as the head of this family. From now on,

we'll put everyone's freedom first. If you go against it,

I'll kick you out of my house!

You went too far this time.

Gosh, why should I care whether you want to cook for her or not?

Is Jin-a my girlfriend?

No, she's all mine.

-You little... -I don't know what ingredients to buy.

Let's go together.

I can't even bad-mouth her because she's my friend.

What's there to bad-mouth about? She's so adorable.

-You little... -Gosh, again? Wait, someone's calling you.

You can answer it.

It's an important call. You should go home now.

Go on.

Hey.

Where are you going?

I have to run an errand for my mom.

Shall I come with you?

No, it's okay.

When will you be back?

It won't take too long.

Let's have dinner together instead of lunch.

Well, that's fine, but...

All right, then. Call me when you're done.

Sorry.

Why?

Because I broke my promise.

Not really. We're just pushing it back by a few hours.

Either way.

Are you sure you can go by yourself?

I'm very self-sufficient.

Gosh, I'm so proud of you.

I'll call you later. Don't cry even if you miss me a lot.

-Stop it. -Okay. Call me.

I can't go grocery shopping with you.

Something came up at the store.

Jin-a, you're such a good daughter.

You even do what you don't want to do because you don't want to upset your mom.

You really are all grown up now.

Yes, just meet the guy briefly

so that your mom won't be upset.

It's better than clashing with her. In the long run, it'll help you

persuade her...

Dad.

I know that you're trying to help me,

but doing things like that will only worsen my situation.

I really meant it.

I know.

I know that.

But Dad, I just wish for one thing.

I don't want any attention.

Whether at home or work, I don't want anyone's attention.

I don't want to be the center of attention. That's my only wish.

I'm going to meet the guy today, but it's not because of Mom.

I'm not doing it for you either.

I'm doing it for Jun-hui.

I'm going there because of Jun-hui.

I'll get going.

I have to go to the store briefly.

Well...

But why are you dressed like that?

What's wrong with this? I wear this all the time.

I have something to do. I'll tell you about it later.

Tell me now, or I'll follow you.

Dad's here.

And?

He wants to see me.

So what?

What? I should meet him and hear what he has to say.

Who cares what he has to say? What difference does that make?

I'll let it all out and fight him if I want to.

He's been horrible to us, and I can't let it slide.

We do have to talk to him face-to-face at some point.

I'll see you later.

Jin-a.

What are you doing here?

Gyeong-seon.

Are you here because...

I can't believe this.

Gyeong-seon.

Can you not tell Jun-hui about this?

He kind of knows already.

How does he know?

Did Seung-ho tell him that I'm going on a blind date?

What?

That's why you're here? Not because of my dad?

Are you actually here for a blind date?

Jin-a, are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind?

What about Jun-hui? Have you been toying with him?

Gyeong-seon, let me explain. It's--

End it with Jun-hui.

Unbelievable.

-Aren't you Jin-a? -The fact that she was there

means that they have no respect for you.

They're treating you as if you don't exist.

-Is Jun-hui going abroad again? -I guess Ms. Yoon didn't know about it.

He never gives anyone a second chance.

I'm not sure if Yoon Jin-a would be okay if this gets out.

-Gosh. -Are you okay, Mr. Nam?

Can I meet Jun-hui?

What else could I possibly do for you?

Why didn't you call me?

I was scared.

That I might get angry?

That you might ignore my call.

I'm going to do as I please.

Do what?

I'm going to love you and care for you.

I can't even do that?
