All language subtitles for The Promise 천상의 약속 天上的约定 - Ep.8 (2016.02.22) [Eng Sub CHN].en

(Previously) Taejun began working at Baekdo Group

and proposed to Nayeon.

Let's have our wedding this year.

Is that a proposal?

Nayeon and Taejun were happy

at the thought of getting married.

Sejin became the target of paparazzi

as she got divorced and was pegged as unfaithful.

She had a chance fight with Taejun,

and Eunbong witnessed them.

Meanwhile, Sejin's father Gyeongwan

proposed that Taejun study abroad in America,

and Taejun hesitated because

he would have to postpone his marriage to Nayeon.

(Episode 8)

So, did you think about it?

Yes. Thank you for the opportunity.

I will go to America.

I'm glad it didn't take too long to decide.

Open this.

Mr. Jang...

I'm impatient, so I already got everything ready.

It's a school in Boston.

Hans International Business School.

Your excellent application made them very happy.

Leave as soon as you get your visa.

Did you know I would accept it?

People my age are like psychics.

You had already decided

and were looking for a reason to go.

And fortunately, you found that reason quickly.

Anyway, congratulations.

What's wrong with me?

(Out of Order)

No way.

The ninth floor?

I'm here...

That can't be.

I'm sure...

Just a second. Dae...

Daeyeong building, ninth floor, Blue Heart...

Blue Heart Academy.

See? It's here.

It's for the teachers. Look.

You ordered eight home-cooked lunch boxes.

This is the academy,

but we didn't order anything.

Just a second.

You don't recognize this phone number?

This is the number that placed the order.

Can you look?

I don't recognize it.

Just a second!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Please don't ask me to do things like this again.

Don't you have conscience? How could you do this?

Does a conscience make money?

Big Brother's Lunch Box at the intersection

is a dollar cheaper.

Had I known, I would've ordered from there.

But still...

You gave them confirmation,

so how could you make me lie?

Excuse me.

I said we didn't order anything.

Man!

Maybe someone pulled a prank using our name,

but it wasn't us. Please leave.

It's not that.

You can have these for free.

We cooked the food

thinking that the teachers would eat it.

So I thought I should just give them to you.

You haven't had lunch yet, have you?

They were just made, so they're still warm.

And today's rice came out really great.

And our soy sauce pork is really good.

You don't have to do this.

Oh!

You brought them, so we might as well eat them.

Of course.

Enjoy them.

And please order from us next time.

Right, if I think of it as an investment,

it won't feel like a loss.

You reap what you sow.

Hello?

Where's my lunch?

Excuse me?

There's nothing to eat here!

Oh, there are eggs and kimchi in the fridge,

and there's rice in the rice cooker.

I've been eating eggs three times a day,

and my mouth smells like a chicken farm.

You deliver lunch boxes?

Bring me a couple of those.

I'm sorry.

I have to go to the shop

and switch places with my mom.

Then I'll go there.

I can look around your mom's shop.

Would you? Then please come.

I'll buy you lunch.

Where is the shop?

Let's not talk about partnerships over the phone.

How about you come by

our company's headquarters next week?

And we can talk in person.

Okay. See you then.

That was Bruno from Top World.

He's interested in a technical partnership.

He wants to get a tour of our headquarters

and listen to what we have to say.

I thought we needed to do some reviews,

so I told him I'd call him back.

I know. I understood everything.

I'll report that myself,

so just type it up for me.

Yes, sir.

But Taejun,

how did you become so fluent in English?

Did you spend a lot of money on

going backpacking and studying English abroad?

No.

There was an exchange student in college,

and I followed him around a lot.

I learned a lot from him.

No wonder you got the top score.

Let's go to lunch.

Taejun, why don't you join us?

No. I'll go after I finish the report.

He must be too excited to eat.

Soon he'll be eating steak in America,

so why would he want to eat at our cafeteria?

You think so?

Sorry for caring.

Have a nice lunch.

Hello?

Is this Mr. Kang Taejun?

Your American visa has been issued.

Thank you.

Is that a proposal?

I'm sorry.

Instead of giving you a ring at a nice restaurant,

I'm doing it at this palm-sized rooftop place...

Who has palms this big?

And I enjoy looking down

at the view from a place this high up.

I'm happy.

Oh, that smells delicious.

Someone ordered fried food?

Yes, it's for a death anniversary ritual.

I'm almost finished.

Mom, I'll pack them up,

so go and get lunch. You must be hungry.

I'm not in a hurry. Give that back so I can finish.

I'll finish.

Go while we're not busy.

I'll go get a quick bite then,

so give me minute.

If someone comes for those,

put on a $15 price sticker and give it to them.

I know what to do.

Don't worry and go.

Maybe I should've gotten some medicine.

Oh, you're making pancakes?

Welcome.

That looks delicious. Can I taste one?

We don't use fresh shiitake mushrooms.

We soak the dried ones and use them.

That improves the texture and enhances the flavor.

Just a second.

It's hot, so be careful.

What? She said it was a big supermarket.

I can't believe that she lied to me.

It's a dinky little market.

She wants to marry my son Taejun

when she runs a side dish shop here?

Both mother and daughter

are totally shameless.

Excuse me, but where is the side dish shop?

What? Didn't she hear me?

You don't know where the side dish shop is?

What's wrong with this market?

Excuse me!

Haven't you seen me before?

Didn't you work

at a sock factory in Bucheon 30 years ago?

I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.

Manjeong! Aren't you Oh Manjeong?

I said I'm not.

You are! Oh Manjeong with the tight butt!

Hey, Oh Manjeong!

Seriously? You stop right there!

What?

You stop right there, Oh Manjeong!

Hey!

You evil fox!

These will taste even better

if you warm them in a frying pan when you get home.

And I'll give you a coupon.

I come here because of that.

I know.

I'll give you a great deal when you come back.

Have a nice day.

Taejun's mother should be here.

Where is she?

Did you have lunch?

Of course. Did you?

Of course.

I'm eating really well,

so stop looking after others. You should eat, too.

And please don't try to save money.

Don't worry.

I'm eating well, too.

That sneaky rat!

You better not show up in front of me.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

I ran into the woman who never paid back

the money I lent her 30 years ago,

but she was so quick that I lost her.

Where did you meet her?

She was here.

I couldn't believe how flashily she dressed.

Her style hasn't changed a bit,

and it's still awful.

How much money did you lose to her?

I lost $500.

I worked my butt off at the sock factory

to save that money.

She said her brother would die without surgery

and begged me for money to pay for it.

I felt so sorry for her that I lent it to her.

And she ran off without paying me back.

But I found out later

that she didn't even have a brother.

She met some guy and eloped with him.

Unbelievable.

What a horrible thing to do.

$500 30 years ago...

Wasn't it a lot of money?

It was.

I got so upset about it

that my mouth was paralyzed.

If I ever catch that woman,

I'm going to kill her.

Seriously...

You really have to catch her.

Hello?

Did you take your blood pressure medication?

Please don't get worked up and scream like that.

Is it grandfather?

Please leave Sejin alone for now.

She must be miserable inside,

so must you add to that?

Okay. I'll talk to her.

How can he keep getting

more cruel as he ages?

- Get me a robe. / - Yes.

I told you not to worry about him.

Sooner or later, I'll have to see him.

If you don't want to come, I'll go alone.

I said you don't have to!

What are you waiting for? Where's my robe?

- Grandfather! / - Father!

That's nonsense!

What else is there to do?

Don't make any excuses,

and go to your in-laws and beg them to forgive you.

Make up with Jaehak

and live with him for just one more year.

After one more year,

if things still aren't working,

I won't object anymore.

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

I can't go back.

Do you know how I felt when I left that house?

How could you ask me to go back to hell?

Are you saying that

you're going to ruin everything?

After all the work I put into Daehwa?

A partnership agreement has already been drafted,

and all that's left is the signing,

so must you ruin it?

Please, grandfather.

You can't sacrifice me again

for your business agreement.

This isn't just about you and Jaehak.

It's a pact between two families.

So how could you break that pact

without talking to us first?

You don't care about me, do you?

You don't see me as your granddaughter,

but a tool that has to make

any sacrifice needed

to bring success to Baekdo.

I played my part as your grandfather,

so you play your part as my granddaughter.

Get up.

There's no need to listen to what he says.

I'd rather sever ties with you

than watch you control Sejin's life.

I won't let you do that anymore.

Let's go.

You can't leave like this.

- Mom, stay out of this. / - What?

Fine. I'll do what you want.

What are you doing?

You want to go back after what he did to you?

Mom, you stay out of this.

Under one condition.

If you accept it,

I'm willing to do what you ask.

Tell me what it is you want.

Give Baekdo Group to me.

If you promise to bequeath Baekdo Group to me

and not Uncle Hwigyeong,

I will get back together with Jaehak,

even if it means I have to beg and plead.

And that agreement you've been working so hard on...

I will make it happen.

So how about it?

Sejin!

You want to make a deal with your grandfather?

What's wrong with that?

It's not like Sejin is being unreasonable.

What will you do?

I'm making a sacrifice, so I should get something

in return to be fair.

It's my life and my marriage.

Okay.

I can see now that

you're more like your mother than your father.

Your mother was the same.

The trouble was that

she always bit off more than she could chew.

Instead of becoming a bigger person herself,

she only let her greed grow bigger.

Knowing it wasn't meant for her,

she went after what other people had,

and in the process, she hurt innocent people.

Father!

My answer

lies with you, Sejin.

Ask yourself if you're big enough

to handle Baekdo Group.

Do you know

why I work with your father?

He knows exactly how big a bite he can chew.

He only wants what he can handle.

That's why I like him.

I didn't give you enough credit.

I can't believe you tried to make a deal with me.

Why?

Why do you think Hwigyeong can do it, but I can't?

You know better than anyone he's not interested

in your company!

Hwigyeong will come back soon.

Don't make an enemy out of your uncle.

Like your mom did.

Goodbye. I can't see you out.

It's not over till it's over.

Let's see who laughs last!

After all that's happened between our families,

let's not speak of a partnership.

Our family names have been dragged through mud,

so we can't work together.

Both Daehwa and Baekdo

have been working on this project for almost a year,

so it's unfortunate.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

But isn't there a silver lining?

Had we actually signed the agreement,

it would've been an even bigger headache.

Is that so?

That's enough business talk.

Take a look.

(Complaint)

Sejin was the spouse at fault,

so we believe that

she provided the grounds for divorce.

We were innocent victims,

and that made us look really bad.

We are going to sue for alimony

and for compensation for defamation.

This is what a decent father would do.

Do you agree with him?

Yes.

I'm asking if you agree

that Sejin was the spouse at fault

and provided the grounds for divorce.

I do.

I think we've explained ourselves well enough,

so we will go.

But before you go, you should listen to this.

What is that?

Eun Jaehak is not normal.

He's a total nut job.

He put a tracking device on my car.

He slapped me for

missing a single call.

When I heard he was getting married,

I thought another woman's life would be ruined,

so is that what happened?

On top of going through my call history,

if he found an unfamiliar number on my phone,

he wouldn't stop until he found out who it was,

and if a man asked me for directions on the street,

he'd drive me crazy, saying I flirted with him.

It was a total nightmare.

Why? There's more to listen to.

Your father needs to know his son's nature

if he doesn't want to be humiliated in the future.

You are far scarier and wiser

than you look.

That's not me. That's my daughter.

She's far scarier and wiser than she looks.

She's been that way since she was little.

I wouldn't expect anything less of her.

But you know what?

Maybe your wise and scary daughter

bought those women off.

Let's find out in court.

Please sue us.

These women seemed very eager

to testify in court.

That will give my daughter a chance

to be exonerated.

This is what a decent father would do.

You moron.

Why couldn't you get your act together?

How dare you humiliate me?

Father. Father!

This is what you call an article?

I wouldn't even have to go digging.

I could write a better piece from my desk!

You've been following Jang Sejin for days,

and all you got was a few lines?

This was what you were working together for?

Lee Jungdae.

Why didn't you get any photos?

Instead of matching your shoes and shirt,

you should've taken photos!

What were you two doing instead of working?

Are you in a relationship?

- No! / - No way!

I don't care if you're in love!

You need to be productive!

You're getting paid, but you're goofing off!

Even part-timers would be better than you two.

That's not fair!

Jang Sejin's lover was...

Come and meet me tonight.

Let's go on a date. I have something to tell you.

No?

Which is better?

(Mr. Jang)

Hello, Kang Taejun speaking.

No, it's okay.

What's all this? Are you moving?

I'm supposed to see Taejun tonight,

but I don't have anything to wear.

Look. How's this?

Or this?

Or...

Look. How's this one?

Oh, my...

Even runaways from the 1980s

wouldn't have worn those.

Why? They're all bad? They're terrible?

As your sister, I can't let you wear them.

You can borrow that.

Whoa, this looks really expensive.

It is.

My blind date, Gildong from Cheongdamdong...

He bought it for me.

Why would he buy this for you?

Isn't it obvious?

Because he wanted to make a good impression.

Is it okay for you to accept things like this?

When you're not going to marry him?

If mom finds out, she'll be furious.

That's why she can't find out.

If you keep it a secret, it'll be fine.

Okay?

I'm not going to wear this.

It's brand new, so I can't wear it.

I'll feel more comfortable in this.

Thank you.

Your flight is the week after next.

The week after next?

Why? Is it too soon?

Yes, a little.

What's the use of putting it off?

You should go early, since you'll need time

to settle down and get used to the city.

Yes, sir.

While you're in America,

your paycheck will be deposited into your account.

And the company will pay

your tuition and living expenses.

Thank you.

Your personal file stated that

your mother is still living.

You don't live with her?

No. She got remarried.

I see.

Then you'll have nothing to hold you back.

A company president

summoning an entry-level employee,

handing him a plane ticket

and checking his schedule...

That's not common.

If people who like to gossip saw us,

they'd think I was your special connection.

I know that

there's something you expect from me.

Now we're talking.

You're right.

I have a personal favor to ask.

Tell me what it is.

Something came up, so I'll be a bit late.

I think I'll need about an hour.

Is that okay?

Don't worry about me,

and take your time.

And don't rush.

I fell asleep?

I haven't had a drink in a long time,

so I feel really tired.

Good night, sir.

I told you to call my driver,

but you didn't listen to me.

It's okay.

Take my car. It's late.

No, thank you. I prefer taking the subway.

Okay. Thank you.

Good night.

Getting mixed up with a disgusting woman like her

will only tarnish our reputation.

You're the disgusting ones!

What did I ever do? Why can't you leave me alone?

What did I ever do?

Taejun,

I had a really delicious meal all by myself.

How dare you tell me to leave?

Do you think you're above me?

Can we pick up where we left off?

Let's be friends.

My company is sending me to America.

They want me to get an MBA.

You're going abroad to study?

You should do a test just in case.

It's not like that.

I just have indigestion.
