The first 200 lines.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I'll be able
to keep the promise that I made you.
You came all the way from the States
to keep your promise.
I'm curious as to why
you've changed your mind overnight.
Is it really of your own volition,
or did Ms. Jang persuade you?
Dad.
Ms. Jang.
Sir.
I already informed you that
this wasn't a decision I made on my own.
I would like to hear Mr. Kang's position.
I'm very sorry that I did not discuss the matter
with you before deciding.
On my flight to Korea,
I was still set on following your wishes.
But due to a personal matter,
I'm afraid I won't be able to do it.
What kind of personal matter?
I'm sorry.
This is really getting me down.
Do you have anyone in mind
in lieu of Mr. Kang, Ms. Jang?
I've hired someone world-famous
in the coffee industry, barista Jeong Yunho.
I'll find someone to make desserts later on
to work along with Jeong.
I still haven't given up on you,
so come back if you change your mind.
Okay.
And sir?
Yes?
I have your phone number, and I thought...
Never mind.
Just spit it out.
I'm sure you're aware,
but I hope you don't do anything
to leak his phone number to the public.
I want to remind you that only family
and close friends have his number.
How upsetting.
She knows her husband is having issues,
so the least she can do is make sure
he has a hearty meal.
He hardly ate any breakfast.
Tea master Kim Sunim's tea is sold here
What...
Is this place still selling tea using my name?
I thought I ended
all business relations with this establishment.
But why have you posted this out front?
Is this some kind of joke?
Joke? I would never do that, ma'am.
Actually...
Your daughter-in-law gave the tea to us.
What...
I hesitated at first, too,
but she begged us.
You're my daughter-in-law.
How could you do this to me?
I'm sorry.
There's an explanation as to why I did it.
An explanation?
No matter what your reasons were,
how dare you secretly sell my tea
without my permission?
You call yourself the wife of the head family?
I don't know what to say, but...
But?
You still haven't come to your senses.
You've dragged my name through the mud.
You think refusing to sell tea
to places that sell coffee
is just an old woman's stubbornness, right?
That's not it, mother.
Don't call me "mother."
I can't stand the sight of you.
Then what are we to do?
What?
We're barely making ends meet,
and there's so much to pay for.
I can't even buy my daughter a bag.
I rely on my daughter to get by,
and I felt so pitiful, I wanted to die.
And then, I saw your tea.
I'm sorry.
But mother,
I'm really sorry to ask this,
but can't you go back to selling tea
to the places you've ended business with?
How dare you?
When you told her that,
what did Ms. Kim say?
What do you think?
She said, "I've lived too long."
And then she went to her room.
Oh, that's just extreme.
Seunghye's out of a job right now.
Your whole family will have
nothing to eat soon.
Unbelievable!
For her to put pride before family
is really wrong.
She doesn't know about Seunghye and Daeho.
Daeho said since she's not well,
she must not get a shock.
Oh, geez.
It's not something to keep secret, though.
Well, Seunghye can get another job,
but what about the shop's security deposit?
Seunghye can't get a workplace loan now.
Am I wrong?
I don't know. It all seems so hopeless.
I don't know what to do.
Your family has no other options.
Just tell Ms. Kim honestly and
tell her to get a loan for you.
How would mother get a loan?
Dongnakdang.
Using it as collateral for a loan is the only way.
No way. Don't say that.
Mother would really faint at that.
Oh, geez.
Then Daeho will have to vacate the shop
or go out of business for good.
Well then,
you'll move out and go elsewhere?
If all else fails, I'll have to,
but I've found that's not so easy, either.
You've had that store there for 20 years,
so I'm sure it's not easy.
The best option would be to talk it out
with the owner and just stay there.
The owner won't listen at all?
Nope.
Then you'll have to get a loan.
The only one in your family who can do that
would be Seunghye.
I can't ask her.
Why not?
Up till now, she's always...
Seunghye's had it so tough thus far.
She's had it hard being the breadwinner.
That's true.
I don't want to burden her anymore.
Daeho.
You don't regret it, do you?
Making her your daughter, I mean.
What? Making her his daughter?
You scared me!
You mean that daughter
was actually adopted?
What are you saying?
I'm spouting nonsense from day drinking.
Oh...
"A drunk mind speaks jokes," right?
That's not how the saying goes!
Truth, not jokes...
Truth?
So she really was adopted!
I'm leaving.
Um, Daeho...
In that case, ask...
Ask Seonsuk about it. She's been saving up
to buy Donggu a house when he gets married.
She's been saving every dime.
I know it for sure.
It's true.
I don't have anything.
I mean...
How would I have that much money?
Even if I did, I couldn't lend it to you.
Seonsuk.
Oh, Dongsuk.
I've worked hard every day to earn that.
If I don't want awkwardness between us,
I should just loan it to you.
But that money means so much to me.
I really didn't want to say this,
but how can you ask this of your little sister?
I'm a divorced mom
working hard to raise her son alone!
If anything, you should give me money!
I'm really sorry.
That's alright.
I'm sorry if I upset you, Dongsuk.
No. I'm really sorry.
That your older sister only amounts to this.
I'll go now.
Dongsuk.
I'll be so upset if you leave like this.
Hey, Donggu.
Let's go out to eat with Aunt Dongsuk.
Woo-hoo!
I was actually really hungry.
Dongsuk.
I said I'm fine.
