Original subtitles

You're back.

What's with the cat?

What do you think? It's a cat.

Isn't my cat so cute?

Who told you that you can have a cat in our house?

I didn't buy this cat. Mr. Chairman bought it for me.

What is this cat doing here?

Answer me!

I asked you what this cat is doing here!

Mr. Chairman gave it to me.

I had no choice but to take it.

Father gave this to you?

Yes.

Father knows that she has cat allergies.

That can't be true.

What do you mean, Ms. Woo?

You would know that I wouldn't tell such a lie about Mr. Chairman.

You should have discussed with us first.

Having a pet is like having a new family member.

You shouldn't make rash decisions like that.

There was no time for discussion.

Mr. Chairman gave it to me.

I wasn't in the position to refuse.

Are you planning on taking the cat when you leave this house?

I guess so.

Very well, then.

Please don't let the cat downstairs.

Okay.

Let's get up.

I despise cats.

Especially that one!

Just for a few days. She says she's going to take it with her.

What is that supposed to mean?

I will make her leave.

I was going to tell you before,

but I didn't have the chance.

She's going to leave by herself?

No way.

There's a reason for her to leave.

What is it?

Forget about it.

Don't worry or you'll get a headache.

I'll take care of it.

I have some herbal medicine for Un-gyu.

I bought it from an herbal clinic recommended by a friend.

This herbal medicine will help him with his college entrance exams.

Aren't you going to tell me?

No prescription is needed for the medicine.

Just take care of Un-gyu. The only thing you should worry about

is Un-gyu's college education.

She'll really leave, right? I hope you're sure about it.

Yes.

She said that she'll leave after making a birthday meal for Father.

I forgot that his birthday is coming soon.

So, just hang in there for a few days.

She makes me uncomfortable in my own house! That woman...

Father

took care of her debts.

What?

I'm going out.

Yes, ma'am. Take care.

You!

I don't want to see the cat, even in the few days that you're here.

I heard that he took care of your debts.

Since you're leaving soon after his birthday,

I won't say much.

Stop being

so desperate.

It's late, you can leave now.

The house wasn't properly taken care of while I was away.

There's dust everywhere.

-Do it tomorrow. -I should've taken my daughter

to a clinic instead of taking care of her myself. I missed out on the fun.

Ms. Jo told me

that the new maid is such a nuisance.

I want to see what she looks like.

-Is she at home? -This isn't the right time.

Go home.

All right, then. I'll clean the bathroom tomorrow.

Okay.

Wait.

-What is this? -Clothes for your grandchildren.

Two of each, since they are twins.

Goodness. How kind of you.

You are so kind to me.

Nothing too expensive. Tell her to not be overwhelmed.

I'll make sure of that. I'll be here early tomorrow.

Bye.

Why a cat all of a sudden?

You're so talented, Ji-hu.

-Should we call it a day? -Okay.

Your father is waiting outside. While I go tell him,

let's put more detail on those fingertips.

-Go on. -Okay.

Did you make it yourself?

-Did you? -There some on your face.

Where?

-Are you okay? -This is not me winking.

It's because I was poked in the eye.

I'm not winking.

-Stop it. -Really.

Ji-hu, let's go home!

Bathroom.

Go on.

Ji-hu, are you listening to music alone?

Let's listen to it together.

You listen to your own music, I'll listen to mine.

Let's not fight over such simple matters.

She's hard to take care of.

It's hard to take care of my own daughter.

-Go on. -Goodness.

Mom. I'm so tired today.

I want to skip writing my English diary.

Okay then. Just write, "today was another day" and go to sleep.

-Goodnight, mom and dad. -Okay.

I'm so tired, too. I'm going to sleep.

-Wash first. -Sure.

-Okay? -Okay.

Danger lies to those who have secrets.

-Who is it? -It's me.

What brings you here?

May I come in and talk to you?

Sit.

I came here to get some sleep. What brings you here?

Your husband hired me as a full-time employee.

Thank you.

Good for you. Did you come here to say thank you?

I will keep an eye out for you.

You can bring your boyfriend here. No one will know about it.

You're a funny guy.

What the hell are you doing here?

I felt uncomfortable.

I burdened you with my poor family and my younger brothers.

I need to give something in return.

I will repay you with my service.

What a joke.

Don't ever show your face again.

I have records of him entering the hotel.

I have his cell phone number, too.

How dare you.

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want your life to end?

Don't be mistaken.

I just wanted to say that it doesn't matter whether or not

if you meet him.

You have no decency.

You should know your place in this world.

Ma'am,

I shall never be a burden to you again.

I will work hard as an employee.

After all you have done?

Anyways, I don't want

to see you ever again.

Get out!

Your husband is seeing another woman.

Take a look at this.

What kind of a person would send such a thing?

This isn't even a scam. What do you make of this?

I have no idea.

Weird.

How do I wash this? Let's see.

It says that I can put this in the washing machine.

Clothes these days have good quality. They don't even smell.

Like clothes hidden in bubbles, secrets that appear hidden

will be uncovered eventually.

We've become so close with the cat,

how are we supposed to say goodbye?

It hurts my feelings.

The cat isn't going anywhere.

Ms. Park hates cats,

so she wants me to get rid of it.

Who is she to say so?

A cat is no object. Nonsense.

-Hello. -Hello.

I sent you all a message through the group chat. Did you all get it?

-Yes. -Today's topic is "good memories."

Think of one good memory that you have in your life,

share it with the group and show support to others,

so that it could be repeated again.

Have you all brought your "good memory objects"?

Yes.

Who should we start with?

Let's start with the newcomer.

Good idea.

-I love you. -I love you.

I had a wife.

I met her in freshman year of college, and we loved each other with passion.

When I first saw her,

she was wearing mittens.

When she took them off, I could see that her hands were so small.

So, I asked her, "Why are your hands so small?" Then she replied,

"Why do you care?"

That's how she replied.

Even today, whenever I see those mittens,

I think of my wife.

-I love you. -I love you.

Next up, A-jin.

I love you all.

I love you.

My dad died when I was eight.

I have two memories of my dad.

When I went to the men's sauna with my dad at age four,

and memories of paper birds.

My dad taught me

how to make paper birds.

As a seven-year-old, it was difficult for me.

I kept on making mistakes

so I couldn't make one correctly.

Then I finally managed to make one.

Then my dad said,

"Do you want to see your paper bird

turn into a real one?"

He said that.

But...

I still

remember how I felt

after I heard him say that.

I believed

that my dad

could really

turn it into a real bird for me.

To me, he was a father who could do anything for me.

Whenever I see paper birds, I think of my dad.

I feel like it may actually fly.

That's how I feel.

I love you.

What on earth are you doing?

What? Fitness club?

Now that you're well off, you forget who's important.

Shut your mouth.

How dare you accuse me of being a gold digger.

Don't you remember who saved you from those desperate situations?

We went over that already.

You went to jail for me.

That's why I'm trying to return the favor.

Then return the favor,

and stop asking for one.

How much trouble can it be for you to afford a health club?

Ms. Woo knows that I have been to prison.

How did she know?

Anyways, shut your mouth

and stay low. Okay?

It's delicious.

How come you can cook and be pretty at the same time?

Right?

-Want a bite? -I have a trauma involving kimbap.

Traumas should be overcome.

You are prettier without makeup.

I hope you would stop having any feelings for me.

I'll try.

I like trees.

They don't move an inch, even in rains and storms.

Not moving an inch is a good thing?

Of course. I don't like things that change.

That's why I like trees. They're always at the same spot.

I like flowers.

-Why? -They're pretty.

They have a nice smell and they look pretty.

Just looking at them makes me happy.

"Smell" is a bad choice of words. "Scent" is a better word.

Anyways,

I like how flowers change.

First, they start out as seeds then grow into fruits and leaves,

they bloom and they fade.

But the scent stays the same.

Look at the sky. The sky seems higher than usual,

-don't you think? -You can have it.

Just that part, from there to there.

I'll take it out and give it to you.

The entire sky is mine, actually.

I'll sell it to you piece by piece for free.

Your jokes are lame.

Aren't you giving me any fees?

-What fees? -Sales commission.

I told you that the sky is mine.

Gosh.

Kimbap, open.

Open.

What?

Are you serious? Goodness.

Just act like you know nothing. Don't meddle in their affairs.

I won't meddle.

I can't believe that woman spoke so highly of herself in front of me.

She's an interesting person, asking such a favor.

She has no boundaries regarding human relationships.

Men will cheat no matter how pretty their wives are.

I made a reservation for lunch, the day after tomorrow.

Yes.

If he lays a hand on you once again, I won't let him get away with it!

Seong-su,

thank you.

That bastard. He should give you more financial support.

Sir.

Sir.

Mr. Ahn!

-Why? -You must have been overworking yourself.

You should sleep at home.

Which home?

Honey, get up. You need to work out.

Come on, get up.

Stop it!

Get up! There you go.

I don't feel like it. Let me get a day off.

I'll work out twice as hard tomorrow.

Come on, drink.

Are you going to keep on acting like a baby?

-Wait. -Come on, hurry.

Go on.

So cute!

Just once!

Have fun!

Mr. Chairman doesn't like the insides of abalones,

because it tastes fishy.

He will learn to like it from now.

Mr. Chairman, I'll dye your hair for you.

For what?

It'll soon turn white again.

You need to look younger.

You're a man, Mr. Chairman.

All right.

Okay.

Ms. Jo?

Ms. Jo?

Ms. Jo?

The strange thing is that,

she speaks standard language when she's alone with me

but she speaks a dialect when she's with Mr. Chairman.

And ma'am,

I discovered something while I was cleaning her room.

She threatened me

never to tell anyone about it.

I saw documents with information on Mr. Chairman

and the family members.

Tell me more. Documents?

I didn't get a good look at it.

It had information about the size of Mr. Chairman's company.

Mostly about his personal wealth.

In my humble opinion,

I don't think it was coincidence

that led her to Mr. Chairman.

Understood. You can leave now.

Take this to Pung-suk's Kitchen. It's a food list for my father's birthday.

What you told me today,

must be kept as a secret.

Yes, ma'am. Of course.

So, you're telling me that she went there with a clear purpose.

Of course. Why else would she gather such information?

Ms. Woo must be in a tight spot.

But she doesn't stand a chance against Ms. Woo.

-Why is that? -Ms. Woo is a powerful woman.

She's indeed well known for her kindness and education.

Indeed. Actually,

the one who has real control over Mr. Chairman

is Ms. Woo.

Doesn't matter. She's just a daughter-in-law.

I think Mr. Chairman is already all over Bok-ja Park's bosom.

You don't know how powerful Ms. Woo is.

Is that true?

Yes, Father.

I should have vetted her.

It was my fault.

That can't be.

I'll make sure she leaves right after your birthday tomorrow.

I have something to ask you.

Why did you pay off her debts?

Do you think of her as more than a caregiver?

Why do you care about how I spend my own money?

That's not what I'm trying to say.

Get out. I'm tired of this.

Get some rest.

Get out.

Did you tell her?

Does she know?

To some extent.

I have yet to tell her that I'm going to fire her.

If she realizes what's going on, she'll want to get rid of her.

Probably.

-She lives in Jeju Island? -Who? Un-gyu's parents?

Yes.

Do you know anything about Mr. Chairman's oldest son, Un-gyu's dad?

He cut ties with Mr. Chairman and was forced to go to the United States.

Why did he cut ties?

I don't know well...

Don't you know more than I do?

After all, you did all the research.

I heard you're going to leave.

I heard that you're going to leave after Mr. Chairman's birthday.

Since I'm leaving this place against my will,

do you feel you have the right to look down on me?

Gosh, no. Don't be mistaken.

We're both in the same situation, working for people...

Shut your mouth.

That's why you'll never succeed in life.

Why, how rude!

Leeching off other people,

like a parasite.

What did you say?

I had enough of this...

You should get a hold of yourself,

or else you'll be the one walking out of this place.

Your only son made a mistake that resulted in you being in debt.

Your daughter has kidney problems, so she needs to be on kidney dialysis.

Don't you need money?

You know that I did background checks

on people in this house.

I will never

leave this house.

So, don't ever look down on me.

You have gotten prettier.

You look like you had a hard time.

Welcome, Jae-hui.

I was going to greet you at the airport, but you wouldn't let me.

No worries. I had no luggage.

-Where's your husband? -He acquired a new company.

He has a lot of work to do, so I came alone.

I wish he had come. I haven't seen him for a while.

That's true. Where's dad?

He's taking a walk with Mr. Kim. He'll be here soon.

Leaving both of you to take care of my sick father...

-You must think I'm a bit rude. -Not at all.

Where's the infamous caregiver?

Let me take a look at her.

Hello, ma'am.

Hello.

You're not my dad's type.

You should eat first. You must be starving.

Give up on whatever you're after.

I'm the only one who can ask my dad for support.

Dad!

Dad!

-You're here. -I had a hard time.

-Where's Jae-seok? -He's very busy these days.

He's working hard because of a new product launch.

He also exercises in the morning.

Still, he should say hi to his only sister.

He'll be home soon. My apologies.

What are you apologizing for? He's the one with the problem.

What about my older brother?

Why didn't your husband come?

His business is not going well.

You should invest in his business.

Don't start a business if you're going to ask for my help.

Okay.

Let's talk about this after your birthday.

It's not that I'm asking for a lot.

Two million won would be nice.

Kimchi. I was craving for kimchi.

Delicious.

Ta-da!

I can't come tomorrow because of my dad's birthday.

We talked about this already.

Mr. Chairman, it's time to take your medicine.

Do you want to go for a morning walk?

-I can take you. -No. I need to go to work.

I thought you were going stay inside for a week.

Did you change your mind?

Leave me.

Dad!

Let's see if my dad is still sleeping.

Father went to work because of a board meeting.

Gosh. You should have woken me up.

You were in such a deep sleep.

I need my dad to like me.

-Hey. -Yes?

Fix a meal for me. Let me see how well you cook.

I'm a caregiver.

So, what?

I'm not a person

who does chores around this house.

You follow such strict rules.

I want to see what kind of food

you serve to my father.

What should I do, Ms. Woo? Do I do it?

No, don't.

-A-jin. -Jae-hui, I'll prepare breakfast for you.

This woman is fired.

She's still here because of our father's birthday.

It's not her duty to prepare food.

She has no right to do so either.

Come in. I'll prepare food.

Right?

Mr. Chairman, wear this.

Life is a series of choices.

One needs to make choices

on whether to accept or let go.

One needs to make choices

to be chosen.

This shirt

and this tie.

Jae-seok Ahn, you're so handsome.

Of course, I am.

I'm the son of my beautiful mother. I resemble her.

Your sister is waiting for you. Call her at least.

I hate her so much. We always fight within 30 minutes of talking.

Oh, I heard that you had food with a young girl at a café.

I caught you red-handed!

What?

I heard you had food at a café in Chungdam-dong. Who was it?

It's probably a mistake.

I'm really busy these days because of the new product launch.

Something smells fishy. Someone told me you were at Take Two.

That’s the café you normally go to, right.

Oh, that girl.

She's from the female pad marketing department.

I needed her advice.

She had to make a decision.

Well, I guess there's nothing wrong about that.

Her decision was to trust him.

Work hard so that father likes you.

Don't worry.

Your handkerchief, honey!

We have started up the Chinese factories

for our new product launch,

and all product lines have been examined.

We should stop using brightening agents,

and increase the price of our products.

If brightening agents become a problem,

it may hurt our sanitary pad sales. That's all.

Okay. Do what you have to do.

You can leave if there's nothing else to discuss.

You leave, too.

Mr. Chairman...

I mean, Dad.

About that woman...

I should meet her in person.

-No need. -Why?

You're making her leave?

I heard

you slept together.

A man shouldn't do that to a woman.

-How rude... -I'll come over today to say hi to her.

I said there's no need.

Why won't anyone let me say hi to her?

It's not like we're Romeo and Juliet.

Go away, get out.

Why are you throwing this masterpiece?

What's this?

There should be noble art on this, not some kind of a cartoon.

Talk about your standards! How do you call this a cartoon?

It's by an artist who'll become the greatest of pop art.

Cartoon?

Get out!

Yes, sir.

Goodbye.

You should have let your teacher come. Why do you insist on going?

Your teacher said that she'll come to teach.

I have clear reasons.

-What is it? -First,

I can hear more clearly in the lesson room than at home.

Second, I like talking to you in the car.

I don't get the chance to see you if she comes.

Is that so?

How cute!

As I was saying,

I want you to pick me up after my art class.

-Not dad. -Why?

I told you. I like talking to you.

You're not telling me that you like me more than your dad, are you?

Of course not.

Anyways, I want you to come. Don't let dad come.

Dad wants to pick you up.

I think he's using her art for one of his products.

Maybe he found an interest in art.

Dad? Art?

Yes.

You can teach in one of the three homes month-by-month in a rotation.

Wear the underwear I bought for you tomorrow.

Your husband is seeing another woman.

Eight hundred is a fair deal, don't you think?

That's once a week.

I think we can just meet over there from now on.

LIST OF MENUS

Hey, where are the lotus root pickles?

In fridge number two.

-Please hurry and pack that up. -Yes, ma'am.

-Almost done? -Almost.

-Delicious! -Eating before Mr. Chairman. That's rude!

She says she'll never leave. Not over her dead body!

Ms. Woo told her to leave. How can she not?

You don't know what kind of a woman she is.

What a disaster.

Now let's all head to Mr. Chairman's place!

It's ready.

Mr. Chairman,

aren't you feeling happy that your daughter is here?

I told you that I'd dye your hair.

-Let's do it now. -No need.

I'll do it for you. For your birthday.

I said, no need.

There's something I need to tell you, too.

I had a daughter.

I raised her by myself.

But seven years ago,

she developed leukemia.

I needed 60 million won

to pay for her bone marrow transplant.

I didn't even have

600 thousand won.

I had no choice.

That's why I did it.

I did what

was forbidden.

So, I ended up in prison.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

How can I possibly

tell you such a thing?

Mr. Chairman,

stay healthy.

I know that I'm leaving,

but I'll pay you back my debts.

You don't need to.

Yes, I do.

I cannot

accept such generosity

for free.

Let's go!

You're here, sister.

Long time no see.

How have you been, Ji-hu?

-Hi, aunt. -Hi.

I'm so hungry.

-Oh no. You should eat. -Is there anything to eat here?

Come on, stop eating.

Ji-hu, did you take a picture of me eating?

-Stop it. -She doesn't want you taking pictures.

Hey.

Goodness.

Mr. Chairman,

you look like an unmarried man.

I'm going to change first.

Everybody is waiting for you. You should head out.

Father's here.

Father!

Happy birthday!

-Happy birthday! -Thank you. Sit down.

-Sit down. -Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday. -Thank you.

When did you prepare all this?

This is nothing, father.

By the way,

I don't see the caregiver who follows strict rules.

Is she fired already?

Oh gosh.

I cooked a dish that you like the most.

How dare you bring such an inelegant food!

Pigskins are inelegant?

What's the point of elegance in food?

Unbelievable.

I can't believe this woman.

Mr. Chairman,

open your mouth.

Father, I want some too.

Stop it.

Have a seat. Don't just stand there.

Sit down.

Okay.

-Gosh! -Oh my!

Mr. Chairman!

Dad!

Dad!

She really did overreact just now.

She almost killed father on his own birthday.

What did you just say?

Am I wrong?

What's the big deal about a cat?

Unbelievable how she threw herself to protect him.

"Oh, Mr. Chairman!"

She still has to leave the house.

Who said she shouldn't? Of course. I agree.

I'm still searching for a replacement. I'll take care of father before then.

Will he accept that?

Father.

She's not leaving!

Didn't you see her

sacrificing herself to save me?

Can any of you do that for me?

Tell me!

Father, this is unacceptable.

She cannot stay here.

Dad?

She's the one who made me walk.

Do you see? Do you?

I'm standing

and walking!

You see?

You.

Let's pull off a performance.

Just a little bit more inward.

There're going to be one, two...

What's the big deal about a criminal record? She served time.

What?

Practically speaking, my friend has a criminal record for fraud.

Crimes that involve money are petty crimes.

What's the big deal? Are you serious?

Ex-criminals are entitled to opportunities, too.

What would they do if the whole society deprives them?

I can't believe this. You should be friends with Jesus.

No. He's not my type. He has no sense of humor.

He stood up. She made a man rise.

That's important.

Go to sleep. This is going nowhere.

Just about to. I'm so tired.

Cat?

Cat!

Cat.

Cat.

Cat?

Cat?

Cat!

Cat!

Shouldn't you be at the hospital?

Cat!

Cat!

The cat is not in the house.

I threw it out.

Cat!

Cat!

Cat!

Cat!

Cat!

Cat.

Cat.

Cat!

You.

Get out!

Un-gyu!

Aunt A-jin.

What do you think you're doing?

You're here.

I asked you a question!

Un-gyu, what is going on? When did you go out?

You better explain exactly what happened.

What did I do wrong, Ms. Woo?

Don't you know?

What's going on?

An eye for an eye,

a tooth for a tooth.

She got rid of my baby,

so I got rid of hers.

You...

Stop it!

Stop it before you embarrass yourself in front of your son!

Bok-ja Park!

That's enough.

Stop now!

If I had stopped,

just like she said,

would I be alive?

Stop!

Stop this at once!

I won't even take one step out of this house.

Ju-mi! Please, Ju-mi.

How are you going to deal with Mr. Chairman

if I leave?

That crazy woman.

He has also been exercising early in the morning every day.

Are you seeing the artist who draws these cartoons?

A kiss doesn't mean we're dating.

Don't you think it's strange?

-It's totally strange. -Partner.

Sir, are you all right?

Shall we live together,

as husband and wife?

I'll only listen to Mr. Chairman.

I won't be taking orders from anyone else.

She grew up as an orphan.

She was adopted at the age of ten, but was abandoned for some reason.

What is it that you want?

Tell me what you want.

What I want is...
