STRONG GIRL NAM-SOON

EPISODE 8 LIGHT AND SHADOW OF GANGNAM

Hello?

Hee-sik, I can't get through their firewall.

I keep getting cut out. They must have an anti-debugging program.

The same goes for other source codes.

It's like an impenetrable fortress.

Keep at it just a bit more.

I'm headed to the team leader's place.

He's not answering his phone.

Keep an eye out.

- Which club? - What?

Which club are you in?

What's the name of your motorcycle club?

I'm not part of any clubs.

No affiliations?

You should be riding pillion behind your husband.

A woman shouldn't be recklessly out and about like this.

I like how wild you are.

Join our club.

I'll be especially nice to you

since you're such a pretty lady.

You're my type.

Let's roll. She's bound to call.

- Hey. - Yes?

You forgot this.

What a sweetheart.

If I join your club,

will I get to ride with a hunk behind me

and not a slob like yourself?

If so, I'll join.

You.

Make a sick pass like this at women again

and you'll end up crushed like your helmet.

- Got it? - Yes, ma'am.

You.

Don't think I won't know what you're up to just because I'm not around.

Even if I'm in the middle of nowhere,

I'll know what you're up to.

Clear the road of any helmet debris.

If you so much as leave a piece behind,

I'll lodge it in your throat

so you'll feel it every meal.

We shouldn't pollute the Earth, right?

- No, ma'am. - This pretty lady will get going.

Nice. I look way prettier.

Good.

Jun-hee.

Let's get some hangover soup.

You drank well into the night yesterday.

The hotel serves a special hangover soup.

Jun-hee.

Hey.

Why weren't you picking up your phone?

Did you come running out of concern?

Of course.

Don't worry. I'm doing just fine.

I also tried drinking some water.

Since when?

A day after I left your place.

Nothing happened after I drank some.

Hello?

Got it.

We have another dead victim.

It's good, isn't it?

I don't know if it's because it's served in a hotel,

but this hangover soup is divine.

It's due to the beef stock.

- The serving's generous too. - Joong-gan.

Your name may mean "in the middle,"

but there's nothing moderate about you, my dear Joong-gan.

"My dear Joong-gan."

You're making my heart flutter.

Now I never want to sober up from this buzz.

So this hotel belongs to your daughter?

Yes, the hangover soup restaurant is hers as well.

There's always a hangover soup restaurant in all her buildings.

It's her way of remembering our roots.

But she's still fairly young.

Is your runaway husband a billionaire?

Did she inherit everything from him?

No, that man has zilch.

All he had were his two balls.

My daughter was never a bright student.

In elementary school, it took her a year to memorize the times table.

- Isn't it heartbreaking? - I guess it is.

Since then,

I knew academics weren't in her future.

So I never pressed her to study.

I ran a butcher shop in Majang-dong at the time,

so I brought her to work

and had her manage the counter.

Forget about the times table.

She could even multiply double-digit numbers with ease.

That's when I knew she had great financial intuition.

Who knew that was possible?

When she turned 20, I didn't get her enrolled in a college.

I gave her 100 million won,

the sum of her college fund and her wage from working part-time at my shop,

as seed money to try whatever she wanted.

In three years, I'll multiply it tenfold.

And in five years, I'll have it turned into five billion won.

By evading taxes and engaging in speculation?

- Of course not. - Then what?

What will you try first?

Supply me all the beef bones and seonji from your shop at cost price.

With 30 million out of the 100, I'll open a seonji hangover soup restaurant.

Another 30 million will be spent on shares.

And I'll buy forestland with the remaining 40 million.

We're doomed.

The seonji hangover soup restaurant was a total hit.

I see.

And the shares she bought saw a tenfold increase

when the company was listed on the stock exchange three years later.

The real money maker was the land though.

It was developed into an apartment complex.

It seemed as if the forces of the universe were supporting my daughter.

However, she didn't just sell the land she owned.

She joined in on the apartment construction herself.

Bring it.

You little--

She single-handedly mastered the world of construction,

- which was a men's domain then. - Come on. Bring it.

Everything she touched turned into gold.

She essentially had the Midas touch.

At the age of 24, her net worth was 10 billion won.

That's a billion won as promised.

Take it.

Thanks for the loan, Ms. Gil.

Get back to me with ten billion in five years.

I'm reinvesting in you.

Not as my daughter, but as Hwang Geum-ju, the entrepreneur.

Sure.

Ten billion won in five years…

with extra.

- What are your terms? - Listen.

I'll close up my shop in five years.

In my latter years,

that means until I die,

I'd like a monthly allowance of 50 million won.

Is that too hard for you?

As if.

Just like the saying, "Money begets money,"

every business she opened was a huge success.

And you wouldn't believe what also happened.

Geum-ju and Bong-go went to Kenya

because Nam-soon wanted to see elephants and lions.

And out of the blue,

she ran into a taxi driver who used to be a regular at her seonji restaurant.

He was there in Nairobi working as a driver for a diplomat.

A fire broke out at the diplomat's residence,

and so they had to move.

Geum-ju purchased the burnt residence

from the Korean government at a cheap price

to build a summer house there.

And?

What do you think happened?

Come on, tell me.

Well…

Just a second.

Hello?

My gosh. What happened next?

What? I'm to accept the Brave Citizen Award?

Forget it.

I said forget it.

It's our last day eating breakfast at this hotel.

This hangover soup is to die for.

Babe.

Have some.

Did you find a place to stay?

Yes, I'm moving in today.

You're not who you used to be.

- What do you mean? - There's no warmth to you.

I don't know if it's because you came into money or started acting,

but you're different.

Ms. No.

It's time this relationship

came to an end.

How could your love for me change?

One's affection is the most inconstant thing in the world.

Is there someone else?

No, I don't transfer between relationships.

I hate transferring so much that I'd rather take a bus

- than change between subway lines. - Then…

why are you being like this out of the blue?

There's no need

for me to protect you anymore.

I was drawn to you and we became an item

because we pitied each other.

But now, we don't need one another to manage in this world.

I'd rather go back to the time when we shared a triangle gimbap .

I never want to go back to that time again.

Yes, Director.

Gangnam Police Station wants to grant me the Brave Citizen Award.

How annoying.

So what happened next?

What happened to your daughter after she bought the diplomat's residence?

Oh please, be patient.

Joong-gan, please.

How about a commercial break?
