EPISODE 11

The Best Pub?

The business is doing pretty well these days,

so I'm not sure if there's a point.

Should I talk to them?

Yes, so...

We don't have to pay to be on the show, right?

Okay.

Then I'll discuss with my staff and get back to you.

All right.

The Best Pub?

They want us on the show again?

Goodness. They refused to put us on, but now they want us back?

We generated quite the buzz thanks to Jangga Co.

The victim of a big company's power abuse overcame a hardship

-and opened his own business. -Hey.

What? It's an inspiring story.

And everyone loves success stories like this.

We've received a number of inquiries regarding using the name, DanBam.

-When is Hyun-yi back from her vacation? -In a week.

Then it'll work out, time-wise.

What do you guys all think about going on the show?

Well, I have no reason to object to it.

I'm on board.

Me too.

I think it'll be beneficial for DanBam.

Then...

Also,

I have something to tell you.

Okay, what is it?

I will

leave DanBam.

Hey, what the heck are you talking about?

I've been thinking about it for a while--

Let's go upstairs and have a chat.

I'm curious.

You've been holding out well even though you don't really belong here.

Why do you want to quit now?

Because of you.

I've mentioned this before, but if it's because of your family--

No, it's not.

That's not the reason.

Then what is it?

I'm not sure if you know this,

but I was born out of wedlock.

What about it?

There are things I always used to hear

because of it.

"Don't be greedy.

Know your place.

Mooch off the Jangga Co."

So I kept that in mind

and never wanted anything in life.

That's how I used to live,

but you're...

Your "way of life," shall I say?

It was very stimulating.

I must've learned something here.

I think I've changed a little.

No.

If you desperately want me to be yours one day,

you should take over Jangga Co.

I'm going to change.

I'm not sure what the reason is,

but I can't ask you to stay.

I wish you all the best.

I'll do my best.

Look who's here.

What's up, Soo-ah?

How are you?

Are you all right?

I won't be here long anyway.

I'll get out soon. Don't worry.

Thanks for visiting me. This makes me feel better.

I appreciate it.

The chairman

sent me here.

My dad?

He's doing well, right?

Right, I'm the sole heir of the company.

He can't be at ease, knowing that I'm locked up here.

Tell him not to worry.

Let him know I'm doing well here.

JANGGA CO.

It's an agreement

for share transfer.

What?

The chairman

wants you to transfer your shares

to himself.

Sir, I just heard that all went well with the share transfer.

Good.

Dad.

You...

What are you doing here?

I think I should start learning

about management.

-What? -I'm talking about Jangga Co.

I should

run the company down the road.

-What are you-- -You dedicated your life to Jangga Co.

Can you really leave it in the hands of a complete stranger?

You don't have

an alternative.

CHOI SEUNG-KWON

I have to say, that was too heartless.

Shouldn't we have thrown a goodbye party for him?

I know. I feel like it was too rushed.

With Geun-soo gone,

this place feels empty.

Why did he quit?

What do you think? It's obviously because of someone we know.

Hello, welcome to...

What?

Hold on.

Pretty lady, what's with all this makeup?

The surgery went well.

I'm back at work tomorrow, you know. I'm stopping by to let you know

that I'm back safe and sound.

-You look pretty. -I know, right?

I can't believe you look prettier than I do.

My gosh.

You totally surprised us. Right, Seung-kwon?

Yes. What? What did you say?

You heard the news, right?

Yes. About Geun-soo and The Best Pub, right?

Sounds like a lot happened while I was gone.

Let's spend some time with Geun-soo soon.

What do you want to do? About The Best Pub.

Why even ask? It's a good opportunity for us.

We should do it.

I knew it. Great minds think alike.

JANGGA CO.

This is good enough.

You don't have to manage the pub anymore.

Pardon?

-Then-- -I don't need you in Itaewon anymore.

Focus on the planning team.

Yes, sir.

The project Geun-won was in charge of... The TV show...

The Best Pub, right?

I want you to be in charge of it.

And do me a favor.

What is it, sir?

Come in.

Hello. I'm Jang Geun-soo, Ms. Oh.

What brings you here?

You two have met before, right?

He's my younger son.

I want you to train him.

I'm looking forward to working with you, Ms. Oh.

Don't mind us. This is your desk.

And this is the planning team's manual.

It's very thick.

You need to be multifaceted to work in Planning.

This has all the basic information.

Okay.

By the way,

why did you leave DanBam?

There's something I want.

I guess I've gotten greedy.

"Greedy"?

I have to stay in Jangga Co. to get it.

And that's why

I'll do my best, Ms. Oh.

Ma'am. Please, ma'am.

-That money is for my son's school lunch. -Let go!

Please give me a little more time.

Please, I have to make sure my son gets his lunch at least.

-Dad! -Don't give me such bullshit.

Why have him in the first place if you can't feed him?

Ma'am.

Ma'am!

Gosh.

What are you doing here?

I used to be fond of you, but you're mean.

What are you talking about?

I was just collecting the money I lent to him. You call that "mean"?

What about his son though? What's he going to eat?

He can afford to drink but doesn't have money to feed his son?

That's ridiculous.

Still.

Shut it.

One mussel soup for Table Eight.

Toni, can you season the mussel soup for me?

Sure.

CURRY POWDER

-Hey, what about the mung bean sprouts? -Hang on a second.

All right. It's ready.

By the way, why do I smell curry here?

We don't have anything with curry.

-Toni. -Yes?

Why did you put curry powder in the mussel soup?

Why is it taking so long? The orders are...

What are you doing?

This actually isn't bad.
