Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

I don't think Hankuk Tradings can send us...

the wheat we need.

No.

If that happens, it will be the end of Chungil.

We must do whatever we can to solve this problem.

Who could've spread the false rumor that...

we have financial problems?

That rumor isn't the problem right now.

We have to make flour...

and supply our buyers.

Okay. I'll look for other possible wheat suppliers.

Okay. I will call Hankuk Tradings,

find out what exactly happened...

and see if they can supply us this evening.

Okay, Grandma.

Hello, ma'am.

Is Mr. Lee in?

He isn't. He went to the US.

- The US? - Yes.

He left in a hurry to try and solve the problem.

Can you not contact him, then?

There's no way to reach him...

until he calls me.

This isn't good.

When he calls, ask him to call Chungil Flour.

I will.

Let's go.

Hello, Hankuk Tradings.

Sir, Chungil's Madam Cho just came by.

Where are you right now?

Yes, sir, I'll do that.

Did you help the CEO of Hankuk Tradings disappear?

Yes. He went into hiding to avoid Madam Cho.

Hankuk Tradings is the only company Chungil can lean on.

Madam Cho will be concerned now that Mr. Lee's in hiding.

I bet so.

Now we just have to wait for Madam Cho to call...

and say she can't send us our flour.

Yes. They'll try to secure wheat but won't be able to.

I still have a feeling that Seon Woo might do something...

and it bothers me.

Don't worry, sir. The fake rumor we spread...

will be getting in the way.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Did you talk to Mr. Lee? What did he say?

I didn't see him.

What do you mean?

He went to the US to solve the problem.

Did you manage to get some raw wheat?

I think someone has been spreading rumors about us.

Spread rumors? Why?

I visited some wheat importers and they said something strange.

They said we did business only with...

Hankuk Tradings and spread rumors that other wheat...

contains agricultural chemicals.

What? What are you talking about?

When did we say a thing like that?

We never did.

I know that, but that's what the people believe.

How could they even...

I'll try to find out what happened.

Go home and get some rest.

You shouldn't stress yourself out.

No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

I'm not okay about this.

I can't concentrate out of worry that you'll faint again.

I need you to go home. I'll have Mr. Kang get the car.

Mom, I'm sleepy.

Are you, Ji Hoon? Let's go and have a nap.

Shall I help you inside?

No, you can get back to work.

Ma'am, why are you back so early?

I wasn't feeling well so I decided to get some rest.

Is your heart acting up again?

No, it's not. Take me to my room.

Okay.

How exactly do you feel?

Shouldn't you see a doctor?

I don't. I'm just a bit tired.

You were fine this morning.

Did something happen at work?

Don't worry about me and get back to your work.

I'll be fine after a nap.

Are you really okay?

I said so, didn't I? I'll be fine.

Dal Ja, is something wrong?

What if I end up getting divorced?

What are you talking about?

Why do you think I can't get pregnant?

Don't worry about it too much.

You need to relax.

I want to but Dae Bong's the eldest son.

We both got married pretty late...

and I want to give his parents a grandson.

Did his family complain?

In a few subtle ways. Visiting them and calling them...

get more stressful every time.

They say that it gets harder...

if you worry about it too much.

Try to relax.

It's harder than you think.

Hello, everyone.

- Hello. - Hi.

Where do you want the rice? In the kitchen?

Leave it over there. I'll put it away.

- Okay. - You're a bit late today.

You said you'd come right after lunch.

I had some deliveries to catch up on.

We have more and more customers.

Things are looking up.

Oh, really?

After all you went through, I'm so happy for you.

I didn't suffer that much.

You don't have to worry about the store now.

I'm jealous that your business is doing well and...

you don't have a worry in the world.

What's going on? What's wrong with you?

Nothing is.

Oh well.

Oh dear.

What is it? Is something wrong?

Dal Ja's stressed that she can't get pregnant...

and I feel bad for her.

She's been married for three years now, hasn't she?

I see why she's upset.

You must be pleased.

About what?

Your daughter has three boys.

Now she does...

but she was stressed about getting pregnant for the first year.

Once she had the first, the other two came along naturally.

Really? I hope that happens to Dal Ja.

Is there a secret to making a woman pregnant?

A secret?

That's it. Bloomers.

What? Bloomers?

Yes, if a woman wears the bloomers of someone who had...

many kids, she'll get pregnant. That's what my daughter did.

Does that work?

Could you get a pair from somewhere?

I'd like Dal Ja to give that a try.

Okay. I'll ask my daughter if she can get a pair.

Great, thanks. You're the best.

The companies that will supply us don't have enough wheat.

I don't think we can operate the factory today.

Shutting down for one day will cause enough damage as it is.

I'm so worried we don't know when we can resume production.

The best we can do is reduce our buyers' losses.

Call and explain our situation.

They will complain.

It can't be helped.

We have to tell them so they can buy flour from elsewhere.

Yes, sir.

I will call Taesan Noodles.

Of course.

Hello, it's Chungil's Kim Seon Woo.

Hello, Mr. Kim. Why did you call?

We're having problems securing a supply of raw wheat.

We can't send you any flour tomorrow.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

How did something like that happen?

We're trying to figure that out.

I called so you can get the flour you need...

from someone else for now. I'm really sorry.

Unexpected things like this...

can happen when you run a large business.

Don't worry about us.

I hope you solve your problems soon.

Thank you. I will and soon.

Okay. Goodbye, then.

Come in.

Chungil's Mr. Kim just called.

What did he say?

As we thought, he said he can't send us any flour tomorrow.

You can go over tomorrow afternoon...

and request joint operation rights.

Madam Cho will have to accept to prevent...

the papers from reporting Chungil's bankruptcy the day after tomorrow.

Right.

Welcome home. You're late.

Yes. I had to call all our buyers.

Did you eat dinner?

Yes, I did. Where's my grandma?

She's been waiting in her room.

- Go on inside. - Okay.

Did you call everyone?

Yes.

And so this happened.

What should we do?

Our buyers will start mentioning breach of contract.

Do you know where we can get the money to pay the penalty?

I made a few calls this afternoon.

A few people agreed to give us a loan.

Go and see them tomorrow.

Will that be enough?

If it's not, we must ask for more.

It had to happen when most of our cash...

is strapped up in the foundation.

Tomorrow, I'll visit the wheat importers who turned us down.
