Episode 26
Mr. Yu isn't in at the moment.
I'll wait for him inside.
Let's wait inside together.
How shameless can one woman get?
I didn't request that transfer.
I don't want to leave a good position
in headquarters to work at an affiliate.
Turn down the position or I'll tell him about
the pregnancy you blackmailed me with 5 years ago.
Go ahead
and see how that goes down.
Do you actually think I'm where I am
without taking precautions?
I hear you
lost a fortune 3 years ago after meeting
the wrong international broker?
So I'm right.
You faked your accounting records so your father
and the shareholders wouldn't find out.
Do you have proof?
I'm going to look for it.
Sit down.
You're already hanging out together
now that you're one team?
One team?
You sent her to keep an eye on me.
Right.
That's what the strategy assessment team is for.
Ms. Kang, your report
gave the shareholders a favorable impression.
Watch over him so that the new launch
at J Brand goes smoothly.
Of course. That's my job, sir, but isn't
promoting me to department head too much?
That way, you can beat out Kim.
You'd better give her the respect she deserves.
You may go.
Okay.
I'll leave you two alone to talk.
You should be thanking me for providing you
with such a talented employee.
Why do you look upset?
I don't like her.
Take back this promotion.
Does she have something on you?
Why? Why!
Why are we getting a department head?
If she and Mr. Kim are the same rank,
whose orders am I to follow?
Always worried about whose butt to kiss...
Who is Kang Huijeong anyway?
Do you know her?
Ms. Geum, may I see you for a moment?
I'm sorry I wasn't able to stop the promotion.
It was decided by headquarters.
You can't help that.
But it feels too contrived for us
to call it a mere coincidence.
You're right. Huijeong planned this.
So this is my fault. / - No, it's not.
She and I have bad blood, too.
Don't be so pessimistic about it.
We can look at it
as having an employee who headquarters pays for.
It's a good thing.
Alright, then.
Here.
Is this curled mallow soup?
It's delicious.
We haven't had someone to cook just for us before.
This is my favorite part of the day.
Come join us.
You go ahead.
You came to work early today, too, right?
Do you have morning prayer or something?
Why do you come to work separately
when you live with the Geums?
Is Ms. Gwon giving you a hard time?
How can you even suggest that?
Is something the matter?
No, there's nothing.
Huh?
Why are you eating porridge?
Are you not feeling well?
I just like porridge, that's all.
You didn't make it because I told you
Gichan was hurt, did you?
Of course not.
I hardly know him.
Yeah.
And if you had made him porridge,
he'd have eaten it all, given his character.
How did his face look?
I didn't get a good look.
He said he was busy and left in a hurry.
He said he had cause to celebrate.
I wonder what...
Dad!
Kang Gichan!
How are you so darn good-looking?
Because I'm your son!
Look at this boy!
This handsome boy is my son!
Have you seen anyone more handsome around?
No. He is handsome.
Why, thank you.
And how about you? You're a different man now.
You look wonderful dressed to the nines like this.
It's my first time in Seoul in a while.
I had to make some effort.
Let's go.
Is that your car?
It's a bit big and clunky, huh?
I used to drive a truck like that around before.
A truck like that brings in money.
Wait.
Daechan Food Ingredients?
Are "Dae" and "Chan"
from our names?
It's a good name for our company, isn't it?
It's our company?
I want to drive. It's been too long.
Dad...
Your license was revoked, remember?
I'll get myself a license tomorrow. You'll see.
Wait up, dad!
They say bad luck follows you out of jail
until the first night, so it's best to sleep out.
That's why Jeongdal got me a motel room.
You believe in such superstitions?
You're not as strong as you used to be, huh?
Of course I am.
Bring it on, bad luck! You don't faze me.
But do you
climb all these steps every day?
It's so high up, bad luck won't come for you.
Right.
It's a nice neighborhood.
Let's go. / - Let's.
That's not all.
I made spicy fish stew with ribs
and braised hairtail, your favorite foods.
Oh, Gichan!
You're too good to me.
My roommate put the balloons up
to welcome you.
That's a good friend.
Anyway, where's that Yeongtae guy?
The one who made you go bankrupt?
I'll kill him when I see him.
Should I set the table?
Let's eat later.
Where does Huijeong live?
With her mother-in-law?
How'd you know?
You know everything.
If I wanted to
I could take over the National Intelligence Service.
Have you ever heard of an MBA?
Sure. It's the American Basketball League.
No?
It's a master's in business
and it's apparently something grand.
Jinguk was bragging about how
Huijeong got an MBA when even he couldn't.
She got it when her husband couldn't?
First, she trampled on you to go to college
and now she does the same to her husband?
She's lucky, that's what.
Oh, yeah. I'll show you her son.
This is him.
You don't know, right?
What she went through to have him...
She got knocked up before the marriage.
What? Did she try to abort him?
Back then, we didn't have a penny to our name.
She and I cried, holding each other
in front of the abortion clinic.
And that day, she decided to keep him.
Really?
She raised him while studying
for that MBA. I don't know how she did it.
She sure is amazing.
Welcome!
Welcome!
I'm Jo Donggeun, the section chief.
And this is Ms. Geum, the assistant section chief.
And I'm Yang Nari.
Your office is that way.
Mr. Kim gave his office up...
Did she just ignore all of us?
I'm here to say hello.
Welcome.
You didn't have to give me your office.
You've worked here longer.
You're from headquarters.
It's the least I could do.
Thank you for being so considerate.
We did it to ostracize you, not to be considerate.
