Hold on.

Look there.

I was so happy.

Gyu Rim is in a relationship.

Mu Jin.

- I missed you. - Me too.

Have you been waiting long?

We worry that Mu Jin...

- What did you put on me? - Will take Gyu Rim away from us...

- No. - You put something on me, right?

- I didn't. - What's this? You did it again.

- No. - You put this on me, right?

Don't take it off.

What is this?

- There's one more. - There's more?

- Yes. - Where is it?

Hi.

Have you been studying hard?

- Aren't you hungry? - This is what Mu Jin told us.

Gyu Rim.

- Gyu Min. - Oh, you're here?

- Gyu Rim. - Hey.

Were you all eating?

- Honey, what do you want to eat? - I'll have black bean noodles too.

One more order of black bean noodles, please.

- Gyu Seo, I mixed it all for you. - Is it good?

Gyu Seo. Gyu Min.

"I'm not taking your sister Gyu Rim away from you."

"I'm coming to you to be a big brother to Gyu Seo,

- "and a big brother to Gyu Min." - It's okay.

You're so cute.

- What should we eat next time? - We

decided to trust what Mu Jin said.

Father.

Hello, sir.

And who

might this be?

My name is Kim Mu Jin.

He's Gyu Rim's boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Gyu Rim, you

are dating someone?

- You two go inside and wash up. - Okay.

- Goodbye. - Okay.

- Thank you for the meal. - Sure. Let's eat again.

Let's go again next time.

Father.

He's very handsome.

My Gyu Rim

really landed a catch.

Thank you.

If you had such a wonderful boyfriend,

you should have introduced him to me first.

So, how long have you two been seeing each other?

It's been about one year now.

I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner.

- A year? - Yes.

If it's already been a year, my goodness.

Then you must be thinking about marriage, right?

- Oh, it's not like that. - Yes, it is.

- Mu Jin. - If you'll give us your permission,

I'd like to marry Gyu Rim.

I like how straightforward you are, my Son-in-law Kim.

Well, since we're on the topic,

let's just set a date before the end of the year.

That sounds good to me.

It's not like that. Not yet, Father.

We still need to work more, earn more money...

Earn money? Why? Our Son-in-law Kim is wealthy.

He's not from a wealthy family.

He's just a part-timer who works where I do.

Then why are you working part-time wearing a watch

worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

- What? - Oh, the heirs hiding identity,

for management training or something like that?

I told you, it's not like that.

Besides, who has a watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Did you tell my Gyu Rim you were poor?

What, because you were afraid my Gyu Rim

would feel insecure and get intimidated?

Father, you're misunderstanding.

My goodness, this guy is so considerate.

Well, the thing is...

I told you, it's not like that. Really.

It's a knockoff.

- A knockoff? - Yes.

It's a knockoff from Namdaemun Market.

Then...

Your belt and shoes...

Are they all knockoffs, then?

Yes.

And you're not from a wealthy family?

No.

And you're not rich?

He's just like me, working hard

to live an honest life. That's Mu Jin.

Why would you date a guy like this?

So the two of you can starve together?

- Father! - Oh, sure.

I should've known about your taste in men.

Break up with him. Right now, while I'm asking nicely.

- Father. - "Hardworking." Give me a break.

I know his type, okay? A young punk with nothing to his name

is already obsessed with luxury brands.

I mean, if you can't afford them, then

you should just give them up and learn to live within your means.

But looking at this earlier,

even if it's a knockoff,

it looks like a top-quality replica.

These knockoff watches still sell for a lot of money.

It wasn't that expensive...

Who are you trying to fool

with a high-end knockoff like this?

- Who are you trying to trick? - Father.

It's a misunderstanding.

I really only care about Gyu Rim.

Enough.

Go. Get lost. Get away from my daughter

right now. Got it?

Father, why are you doing this? Really.

Don't you see it? After looking at me?

He's just like I was when I was young.

Exactly like me.

Hey, because she chose the wrong guy,

her life was ruined.

Haven't you learned from what happened to your mom?

Mu Jin is different.

At least he's not like you, deceiving Mom,

and lying all the time.

You, get over here.

Stop hiding behind a woman like a coward.

Don't just stand there. Get over here.

Guys like this need a lesson,

so they don't come sniffing around again.

You're going to get a beating today. Got it?

Come here. Hey.

- Father. - Hey.

Don't you dare lay a finger on Mu Jin.

I don't care if you're my father. I won't let it slide. I mean it.

Han Gyu Rim, move.

Are you going to move?

Darn it. You, get over here, you punk.

- Hey. - Mu Jin, just go. I'll call you.

Hey, get over here.

- Mu Jin, just go. Go. - I'll see you next time, sir.

- Where do you think you're going? - Father, stop it. Honestly.

- Hey. - I can't believe this.

- Get inside. You, get inside. - Father, honestly.

Whose side are you on already?

You said you wouldn't just stand by. What are you going to do about it?

Are you going to hit me? Unbelievable.

Hey, Han Gyu Young, Han Gyu Oh.

Your innocent and naive older sister...

While she was dating that mindless punk,

why didn't you stop her?

- Let's talk about this. - You have to let go of me, Father.

Gosh, my shoulder.

Hey, Han Gyu Young.

You're supposed to be a good judge of men. What did you do?

And what did you do, Father?

If you disapproved so much, you should've

come home and stopped her yourself.

She was crazy in love. How was I supposed to stop her?

Han Gyu Young.

Father, please stop.

I told you I was against it from the start.

Kicking people out is your specialty, isn't it, Father?

You kicked out Mom too.

So I guess it's up to you to do whatever it takes

to stop Han Gyu Rim, right?

You...

Han Gyu Oh, what about you, you punk?

I was cheering for her.

I was hoping things would go well with her boyfriend,

so she could get out of this miserable house.

I was rooting for her like crazy.

I can't believe this kid.

Go for it, Han Gyu Rim. I'm totally rooting for you.

No matter who you date,

at least they'll be better than Father, right?

- Why you little... - What about us?

Why aren't you asking us?

- I approve. - I'm neutral for now.

- Then why did you eat the noodles? - Hey.

Elementary schoolers don't get a say. Got it?

You two, go to your room. Now. Go on, hurry.

Those two are just the same.

Anyway, I'm...

Until you tell me you won't see that punk anymore,

I'm going on a hunger strike.

If you want to save your father, break up with him.

If you want to kill your father, then keep seeing that guy.

Got it? Darn it.

Should I have just told him it was real?

Mu Jin is different.

At least he's not like you, deceiving Mom,

and lying all the time.
