Apple of My Eye (My Gold, My Jade / Geumiya, Okiya / 금이야, 옥이야)

I...

I think I like you.

No.

I like you, Mr. Geum Kang San.

I'm not sure when it all began,

but I realized...

you were already in my heart.

But I'm...

I'm a nobody.

So please don't say that.

Ms. Ok.

I'm sorry. I can't...

reciprocate your feelings.

The times we spent together...

deeply comforted me and gave me the courage I needed.

And most importantly, those moments...

made me very happy.

I thought you must be feeling the same way.

Was I wrong about it?

I, too,

think that you're a great person, of course.

But that's...

only as...

Jan Di's...

art teacher.

Gosh, it's so hot.

Hey, Mr. Kim.

Ask your rich daughter to buy us an AC unit.

What are you talking about, all of a sudden?

Come on. Your daughter's family is rich.

Kyu Sun said...

that the chairman's family has accepted you as her biological father.

Oh, forget it. Goodness.

An AC unit is nothing.

That's right. Ask her to buy you a nice apartment.

She should do that much for her biological father, you know?

Don't say that.

I do not want to inconvenience my daughter in any way.

Goodness. Must you be so square?

It'd be faster to just wait until Kang San remarries...

so I can go live with him and my daughter-in-law.

Are you talking about your future daughter-in-law you mentioned?

Yes, who else?

Ho Rang is still head over heels for Kang San.

She makes good money,

and she is very good to me, so I'm fond of her.

But there's one thing that bothers me.

Something bothers you? What could that be?

Kang San doesn't seem interested in her at all.

She's been throwing herself at him, but he won't even budge.

I wonder if he's seeing someone.

I, too,

think that you're a great person, of course.

Ms. Ok.

But that's...

only as Jan Di's art teacher.

Gosh, I must've been out of my mind.

I can't believe I made a complete fool of myself in front of Kang San.

I'm sure he got sick of you when he saw you...

being mean to Ms. Ok yesterday,

That kindhearted guy got so upset that he had to yell at you.

When I saw him trying to take care of Ms. Ok right before my eyes,

I just lost it.

What can I do to win some points back with Kang San?

Stop, please!

I'm telling you. You cannot handle him.

Why can't I handle him?

Why must you be such a downer?

I'm doing this for a reason!

What is your reason?

What is it?

Ho Rang.

You see, Jan Di is...

Gosh, whatever.

She isn't Kang San's biological daughter.

What?

Did the heat get to you? What's this nonsense about?

I'll say it again, so listen carefully.

Geum Jan Di is not Kang San's biological daughter.

Hey, what do you mean?

Jan Di isn't Kang San's daughter?

Then whose daughter is she?

My gosh. There are so many amazing side dishes, Dad.

Yes. Kang San, why did you cook so many dishes for breakfast?

Hey, Kang San. The table is about to collapse.

Did something good happen?

No, I just felt like cooking this morning.

Oh, right.

I heard Chairman Hwang decided to accept Mr. Kim.

- Yes. - My gosh.

Mom, they say sincerity never fails to reach the hearts of others.

I'm so happy for Mr. Kim. Aren't you?

Yes, it's such amazing news.

Yes. Ms. Ok must be so happy too.

- Right, Dad? - What? Oh, yes.

Hang on. We shouldn't blindly congratulate him.

What do you mean, Sang Soo?

Think about it. It means he's a member of the Hwang Dong Food family too,

which means there's now one more person I have to tiptoe around.

Come on. You know Mr. Kim won't make you feel that way.

Well, that's true.

Anyway, I envy him for having such a daughter.

His daughter will help him out big-time now that they've reconnected.

Be honest, Mother. You envy him too, don't you?

What?

Oh, why ask me?

Anyway, Mi Rae grew up in a good family, and she's such a wonderful person.

I don't know what kind of man she'll marry, but he's a lucky man.

He hit the jackpot

Jackpot? Come on.

Wealthy people date within their social circle anyway.

They live in a different world.

In their own privileged bubble.

Dad, why aren't you eating? You haven't even touched your rice.

Oh, I kept tasting things while cooking earlier,

so I'm quite full.

Eat up, my dear daughter.

You should still eat.

All right, I will.

My, these pancakes are very tasty.

Yes.

Ho Rang, I'm not sure if you'd remember this.

There was a guy Sun Ju dated as soon as she entered college. Remember?

Yes, I remember.

But I heard that ex-boyfriend of hers died in an accident.

That's right. But Jan Di is his daughter.

What?

Don't you get it?

That guy was Jan Di's biological father.

But then... What about Kang San?

After that guy died,

Sun Ju was devastated all alone because she was pregnant.

So that fool...

told her that he'd be the child's father.

No way!

I know it sounds insane, but it is true, Ho Rang.

My gosh.

I feel bad speaking ill of someone who died,

but Sun Ju is so mean!

She used Kang San because she knew he liked her.

And she left her daughter with Kang San...

and ran away from home!

He couldn't tell Auntie Hong Do,

so I can't even imagine how devastated he must've been.

But you see, that's not my point.

What? There's something else?

Yes.

Auntie Hong Do and the others are Jan Di's only family.

That's why Kang San will never leave his in-laws.

I see.

Hold on. Then if I marry him,

I might have to live with his ex-wife's mother.

I thought he'd cut ties...

with Auntie Hong Do if he were to remarry.

Ho Rang, this is a secret that you have to take to the grave.

So do not tell anyone...

that Jan Di isn't his biological daughter. Do you understand?

Hey.

But how did you find out?

I know because Sun Ju got drunk...

and told me everything before they got married.

Back then, Kang San, Sun Ju, and I were friends.

Anyway, if Kang San finds out that I told you,

he'll stop being friends with me.

So do not tell anyone, no matter what. For real, okay?

Yes.

Okay.

Yes, it's me.

I guess you were out for a run.

Yes.

You know,

about what I said yesterday...

Don't worry about that.

Go inside first.

What about this guy?

Everyone knows that Mi Rae dated Ju Hyuk and broke up with him,

but she keeps getting requests to go on blind dates?

Everyone wants to marry the granddaughter...

of Hwang Dong Food's chairman, Mother.

It's because Mi Rae is such a nice, bright young lady.

Mother, you're so naive.

Stop it. My goodness.

Mi Rae, are you heading out now?

Yes, I'll see you later.

Mi Rae, can you come here and sit down for a moment?

Why, Mom? I have to go to work.

Just for a moment.

Sit down, Mi Rae.

What is it, Mom?

Who's your favorite out of these men?

Mom, I don't want to date anyone at the moment.

You've been having a hard time moving on since you and Ju Hyuk broke up.

This time, you can find a nice guy you can rely on.

I'll help you find him.

Mom, it's not because of Ju Hyuk.

Then why are you being like this, Mi Rae?

What are you doing?

- Father. - Yes.

Come here and help Mi Rae choose her future husband.

Her future husband?
