Episode 28

There!

Eun Seong, come and eat.

Although I'm not a chef like Do Hyeon,

it's still edible.

It looks delicious, Brother.

Has Do Hyeon gone out? He doesn't seem to be around.

Yes. He was gone when I got up.

I will enjoy the meal, Eldest Brother.

Chairman Jang decided to have a competition

to pick out the successor.

I will use them so I can take over Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

It's perfect that Hwang Su Soy Sauce's weakness

has appeared like this.

Eldest Brother, you eat too.

Today, I must go to the SS headquarters. I'm going to see the chairman.

I will be able to pick up the pottery then.

Thank you, Brother. You're really the best.

Ajumma. Come here.

Yes, Madam.

Where did your brains go?

Don't you know what tomorrow is?

Tomorrow is Young Master's succession competition.

But, you are serving balloon flower root.

Didn't I remind you a few days ago that he needs to stay strong for his exam?

He must have red ginseng.

What is this soup? Kelp soup.

Aigoo. Omo. Do you want him to fail the exam?

Did you do this on purpose?

Chairman drank rice wine yesterday.

After drinking rice wine, the next day, he wants to have kelp soup.

Because tomorrow is the competition, I was wondering.

whether I should make kelp soup.

Are you talking back? Go and cook.

Yes.

Why is it so loud?

The exam is soon. Why are you mad?

It's because of this ajumma.

After twenty years of service, not one day has she satisfied me.

Don't you know how depressing this is? The moment I see her, I get angry.

She's not smart enough to do things well.

I don't understand what she does to make you this angry.

Take a look here. This seems like a raw spot.

What? Where?

It's very itchy.

Mother, it looks like there is some sort of growth here.

Brat. I'm freezing.

Brat, here. Pine dew.

This is what you have been doing the entire time?

Isn't it time to be working?

The friend I asked to help had some issue with his eyes.

He sent me a text early this morning saying he couldn't make it.

What else could I do? I had to go by myself.

Are you okay?

I almost died getting the pine dew. It was so cold with the snow.

Since I was already there, I collected the dew. I am so cold.

Here. Wrap yourself in this blanket.

You got Brother a gift?

I asked Eun Seong what he would like, except for pine dew.

I thought about it. Then, it suddenly came to me.

This will be a great help to Eun Seong

What is it, Mother?

The diary of Hwang Su Soy Sauce's daughter-in-law.

I wrote this when I was the daughter-in-law of Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

I wrote down Mother and Fathers' wisdom.

As the daughter-in-law, I learned about salt and soy sauce. I also learned how to prepare the offerings to the gods and the ancestors.

I learned about managing the household by listening to Father.

I wrote it all that down.

I was thinking it might help you in the competition.

Wow! It's handwritten by Mom!

When Mother lived at Hwang Su Soy Sauce,

I wrote about our daily life. There are many interesting tidbits.

Just look through it to see whether there is anything that can help you on the exam.

I came to see the chairman.

He is in a meeting. He didn't send for you.

Did something happen?

I have something to say to him.

You might have to wait a long time. Next time, you should call first.

You can come back later.

I will wait for him.

I will wait until the meeting ends.

Suit yourself.

Combine the waters?

Yes. It's referred to in my mom's diary.

Now, it seems like the best choice.

We'll mix the Hwang Su Well water with pine dew.

Stir it 100 times. It turns into combined water.

I was worried because there was not enough pine dew.

I figured out I could mix the two and get even better water.

My body is still recovering. There is nothing left to do except for the stirring.

My ribs are still very painful.

Are you ordering me around?

You stir for me. You already know.

Tomorrow is the competition. It's urgent.

Really.

Team Leader Han, I don't want you waiting like this.

It would be polite if you left.

Sorry. I want to see him before I go.

Team Leader Han, Chairman Seol is a busy man.

My arms.

This combined water. I am giving my life for it.

Hey. Can't we rest just a little?

No, no. You can't stop.

If you stop before 100, you'll have to start all over.

Can you see? I have broken out in a cold sweat.

I see. I will wipe your forehead.

If I continue like this, I will die.

Just to save you, I will die.

I'm tired. I'm thirsty. Give me some water.

It's too far. I can't reach it with my mouth.

Ah relief!

Hurry and stir. You can't slow down.

I got you the pine dew and now you want me to mix the water.

Really greedy.

Hateful brat. My arms.

-=Eun Seong, it's Eldest Brother.=-

-=I have something to do. I couldn't bring you the pottery.=-

-=I am sending it by express delivery.=-

-=Use this well.=-

Yun Chan Brother?

Yes, he says he will be late today.

I want someone else to be ordered around by you.

Hurry and unpack it. We must purify the water.

Really.

Is Do Hyeon not around?

He left early because his roommate has an important exam.

He went to help him.

This jar has to be cooler than room temperature.

The water temperature needs to be between 10-14 degrees for the best result.

Let me see.

Is this the right temperature?

I'm really cold. It's like the wind blowing or the rain falling.

Don't get too close. Between men, this is nauseating.

Chairman.

Are you still waiting?

That's fine because I also have something I need to say to you.

Please come in.

Yes, Chairman.

Good.

A favor? You have a favor to ask of me?

Yes, Chairman.

I'm glad. But, why are you speaking so politely all of a sudden?

I didn't expect you to make a request.

What is it? Please tell me.

You must first promise to grant me my request.

Of course. Just say it. I can promise you anything.

Apartment? Money? Are you getting married?

It about the the second son of Hwang Su Soy Sauce, Jang Eun Seong.

Let me see.

You want me to protect Jang Eun Seong?

Hwang Su Soy Sauce will collapse.

Since you picked the target, this will surely happen.

But, even if Hwang Su Soy Sauce is shut down, I'm asking that you protect Jang Eun Seong.

I will be counting on you

We have been together for 20 years and this is the first favor you have asked for.

Unexpectedly, it's for someone else. Why?

Why do you feel the need to protect Jang Eun Seong?

He inspires people to care for him.

He's very pitiful.

Jang Eun Seong is a man, right?

What?

After hearing what you said, I thought this person was a woman.

It seems that was in bad taste. I thought you would laugh.

Yun Chan. I was just joking.

Yes, Chairman.

Even if Hwang Su Soy Sauce closes down, I must protect Jang Eun Seong.

I don't know whether I can.

But, I will think about it.

Thank you, Chairman.

I will need you for a job for a few days.

I am feeling uneasy about KAP Department Head.

The day after tomorrow will be the trial. Stop the witness from appearing in court.

Start with that.

The most handsome boy in the universe, Flower boy Jang Eun Seong.

You are my man.

Housekeeper Seo, take a look.

My husband. He gets full marks as a flower boy.

Yes. You've showed me this a lot of times already.

But, he gets more and more handsome.

But, his age, his phone number, his address,

you don't know any of that.

What's so difficult about finding that?

It's easy to check for everything.

I'll let Secretary Pak handle this.

Secretary Pak, I am my brothers' younger sister, Do Eun.

I need you to investigate someone.

Of course, you must not let my father and brother know.

Savior, thank you.

If it were only me, what would happen tomorrow?

Mother. Ha Myeong Sister. Yun Chan Brother.

And you helped the most.

Tomorrow I will put to good use all this help.

Of course you will. Why else would I have sacrificed for you?

Hateful brat.

What's wrong with your voice? Have you fallen asleep?

I seem to have caught the flu.

Your ordering me around was too much. Now I am sick.

You really are sick. What do I do?

What you mean what do you do? Take care of me.

My muscles ache. Massage my arms.

Where? Here?

Like this?

No. It's my hand on this side.

Hand.

Who are you?

Han Yun Chan. What's wrong? Why are you here again?

Did you come on behalf of Chairman Seol?

What are you doing?

Wait a moment.

Child, go into your room.

Hurry and go. Hurry.

Mother. Mother.

Mother. I had a great dream late last night.

It really was a good dream.

Today is the day Ra Gong participates in the successor competition.

It will go very smoothly.

What did you dream?

I was on a road. Tiger. Crane. Rabbit. Deer.

All the zoo animals appeared.

I appeared to be royalty.

And then what happened?

All the animals kept licking me.

My hair and teeth fell out.

This dream should put me in a bad mood.

But, the soothsayer said that dreams about animals were lucky dreams.

Am I right?

It's a lucky dream. Ra Gong will do well today.

Of course. That goes without saying.

Eun Seong is injured and can't do anything. He can only lie down.

Eun Seong can't do anything.

Let's go to the Cheong Eum Building.

Lets go and support Ra Gong. We can hang a scroll on the wall.

We can also cheer Ra Gong on.

Okay, Mother.

That's right.

Let's go and support Ra Gong.

Okay.

Today, my younger brother gets tested.

We are going to wait for him. We can cheer him on.

My brother will be at a disadvantage. Don't be discouraged,

that's what I want to tell him.

I made him some coffee. Let's take it to Eun Seong.

Also, I made cocoa for Ha Myeong.

He has to stay strong for the exam.

Coffee will be great!

Coffee can rev up your brains!

Cocoa has a lot of sugar in it.

It can calm nervousness caused by stress.

Lets hurry and go!

Let's go.

Hello.

It can't be! Isn't this Department Head Gim?

Yes. Secretary Gim. How are you?

How do you do?

Why have the both of you come to Seoul?

I heard the soy sauce production is going smoothly.

We heard about the two young masters.

There is a competition for the successor. We had to come.

We were curious and wanted to watch.

The news has spread to all the departments.

Of course, we are very curious.

We are wondering who will inherit Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

Our dealers are very concerned about it.

But, nothing seems to be happening at the headquarters.

At our location, there are posters hung up.

The atmosphere is excitement to see who will win.

We thought it would be like that here.

The chairman says we need to keep it low-key. The exam must be held in a quiet atmosphere.

No matter which young master wins, either will be a suitable successor.

Have you both brought back the best ingredients for brewing soy sauce?

Yes.

Yes.

Along with myself, there will be 5 people judging.

Judges, these two were asked a question for the exam.

They will explain what they prepared and the process they used.

The judges will evaluate and Chairman will decide.

The two young masters brought their material.

Why is the material you brought, the best for making soy sauce?

Please explain your thought processes to our judges.

Then, Chairman and the judges will personally taste your ingredient.

Then, each ingredient choice will be graded anonymously.

The results will be put inside this box. The higher scored ingredient will win.

Cheong Eum Building. This brings back so many memories.

Mother spent her entire life working for Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

Are they happy memories?

Happy? Of course they are.

Take a look at this building. How imposing it is. It's very grand.

What is that?

Really bad luck.

Really.

Look at the shabby clothes they're wearing.

Class will always reveal itself.

Standing here by them is making us look bad to the staff.

They reduce the decorum of the place.

Please, let's go in.

Fine, Mother. We're not scared of them.

We hate them, so we want to avoid them.

Let's go. Let's go.

Drink up, Mother. Aren't you cold?

Fine.

Aigoo. Let me warm up a moment.

I mean really, how can this winter be so cold?

Omo its 2! The results must be out by now!

Oh, here you are!

That's right. Secretary Jeong. What are the results?

Have you heard? Who won?

Our Ra Gong won. Am I right?

Five judges did the evaluation. The results are private.

Private?

Why? Ra Gong won't see his winning score?

Why not openly announce them?

The chairman may have a reason.

It's so cold. Let's warm up for a moment.

If I see the garbage truck, I try to avoid the trash.

I dislike your bad luck. Why did you have to show up here?

I'm always meeting my enemy. Really

Ha Myeong is here. Watch what you say.

I've lived for more than 70 years. I don't need to be afraid for Granddaughter and have to shut up.

I have to be careful?

If you speak properly, there is no need to worry.

Why are you teaching my mother a lesson?

Your are becoming a problem.

You were kicked out of Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

Yet, you still think of yourself as the family's daughter-in-law.

Right, Mother?

This bitch looks like she wants to kill us. She can't be helped.

The scariest people are those who are ungrateful.

You bitch. Don't you know what's right?

You are really too much, Grandmother!

You scared me to death.

How dare you yell at me.

Even if you hate us, you cannot just do whatever you want Grandmother.

So, you taught your daughter to talk back to her elders?

Don't scold my daughter.

You don't want to hear your family being scolded.

I am the same.

Aigoo. Hye Seon appeared and now it's so noisy.

You came to see us.

Then, you must be prepared to fight.

Then, are you two right?

That's right.

What is going on?

Ra Gong, you came quickly.

How about the competition?

You did well. Surely you won the competition.

You worked so hard to get ready.

Mother, Secretary Jeong said you were here.

Sister also came.

Mother, let's go.

There is a coffee shop on the third floor. Let's have some tea.

Aigoo. Aigoo. Aigoo yo.

How sickening.

Very good.

Department Head Gim, why did you come?

Do you have matters with the head office?

We heard about the Hwang Su Soy Sauce successor competition.

That's right. Department Head Gim has worked here a long time.

You know everything that's going on.

So, are you very worried?

Of course I'm worried. That goes without saying.

Actually, we came to give support.

Support? Who are you cheering for?

If Grandpa won't openly announce the results,

surely, there must be a reason.

Exactly what does this mean?

Is only one person going to know the results?

It must be something. Father never does anything without a reason.

Call over Secretary Jeong.

Let's see whether she heard anything.

That's right That's right. Call her to come.

The judges' evaluations are in here.

Following your request, they judged carefully.

Put the results into the safe.

You're not looking at them?

Yes.

Why, Chairman? Aren't you curious?

Of course I am curious about who will be the successor of Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

Who could possibly be more curious than me?

But then, why won't you look at the result?

Remember what I said earlier about a good leader?

He must have 3 essential factors.

Yes, Chairman.

Ability is ranked third. Two other factors are more important.

Thus, I don't need to see the results.

There are factors more important than ability.

What are they?

There is character.

Character?

Yes, character.

I don't need to see the results because they have nothing to do with character.

So, you don't need to see the results.

But, how will you determine character?

This will slowly appear.

Everyone will know.

Eun Seong is what kind of person?

Ra Gong is what kind of person?

Everyone at Hwang Su Soy Sauce will know.

For a leader, the most important factor is character?

Character.

I overheard this.

Chairman said the successor will gradually reveal his true colors.

Chairman is waiting for this.

It can't be. He actually won't look at the results?

What a bunch of lies.

That's right.

Whether he is a ghost knocking at midnight or a liar,

Ra Gong, Hwang Su Soy Sauce is yours.

The loser with the broken ribs, what can he do?

Mother. How right you are.

Ra Gong, after you inherit Hwang Su Soy Sauce,

you have to grow the company even bigger.

Yes, Grandmother.

Ra Gong will make this a huge enterprise.

He is the stronger competitor. No one can compare to him, Mother.

He has the family genes.

We've raised you for this, Ra Gong.

Do you understand?

I don't want to see them, but it looks like we couldn't avoid them.

Aigoo. Why do we always meet?

Why can't we capture their ghosts?

See how they're glaring at us.

They desperately want to provoke us.

I am going to demoralize them.

What are you going to do?

Hye Seon is their backbone.

Hye Seon. you know that contract we signed?

You are taking good care of it right?

After Ra Gong wins I will see that contract.

So, we will have to meet.

We negotiated.

Negotiated? We agreed the loser has to leave this family.

Yes. That's what we agreed to.

Don't worry. I have never broken my word before.

When the results are out I hope you are ready to accept them.

Ra Gong. What do you think?

Today, for the competition, what do you think?

We still don't know who will win.

You must certainly struggle until the bitter end.

You don't have any idea what direction the competition will take.

Seeing the situation today, are you still puzzled as to the outcome?

Eun Seong. Do you understand? You will not do well.

The results are not out. Lets wait and see what they show.

Is that Madam Go Hye Seon?

I think so.

So, that must be Miss Ha Myeong.

Madam. Madam.

Madam, how are you?

What is this?

Didn't you used to work at the back kitchen?

And you used to work for Secretary Kim.

This is Assistant Manager Han.

Yes. That's right, Madam.

Yes. You still remember, Madam.

I am Gim Yeong Seun.

I am Mrs. Gim

Are you doing well?

Are you doing well?

Is this Ha Myeong, your eldest daughter?

Yes.

This is your son?

Hello everyone. I never met you before.

It is our first meeting. I am Jang Eun Seong.

He grew up very handsome.

A really handsome man.

What are they doing?

Ra Gong and I are standing right here.

I have a pain in the neck.

Wait a moment.

I say to all of you, who is the madam?

Why are you all calling her that?

Don't you know who I am?

You call her madam in front of my face.

We served Ha Myeong's mother.

We worked with her here for several decades.

Whether it's several decades or 500 years,

I am the madam now.

Not to us.

What? I will remember all of you.

In the future, my son will be the leader of Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

What are you all doing in front of my Ra Gong?

Cheong Nan, don't do this. We have all their faces on the camera.

Ra Gong. You also remember these people.

We know about what happened in the past.

Madam and Young Master must certainly win.

He always cleans the soy sauce jars with sincerity.

The staff at Hwang Su Soy Sauce knows this.

All of us support Young Master Eun Seong.

We hope he is the Hwang Su Soy Sauce successor.

Show them what we prepared.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yesterday, the staff at Hwang Su Soy Sauce prepared this.

All of us support Young Master Eun Seong.

What? Omo.

Aigoo. They've all gone crazy. They're crazy.

They've simply gone mad.

Fighting.

Fighting.

All of us at the branch office are rooting for Young Master Eun Seong.

They sent this with us.

What is this?

Fighting.

What is that?

It's the end of the world.

They've gone crazy. They're all crazy.

We support you. Fighting. Fighting.

Fighting. Fighting.

-=Next Episode Preview=-

We also have found a strong source of support.

SS group. Chairman Seol.

Yes. Chairman Seol.

What's wrong? Why is your face so red?

Recently I feel really weird.

My face gets read easily and my heart starts pounding.

You seem to have changed.

Jang Eun Seong. I want to eep your face worry free like this.

All my viscious living. and you have made me gentle.
