Ms. Jang, why is Mr. Park's son here?

You punk, you had me worried to death.

Did you just get here?

-How many more did you get?
-Twenty-seven.

Aren't we too late?

They probably haven't started

JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY

What is it?

I'm here on behalf of Jinsung's employees.

Please give me a chance to speak.

I also have the powers of attorney
from 135 shareholders.

Just continue with the voting.

He said he represents the employees,
let's hear him speak.

-Let's hear him out.
-Let him speak.

Let's hear what he has to say.



Let's hear him together.

So, 80 percent of the employees,
which is 938 people,

gave written consents that say
for the company to recover,

they will receive 30 percent less salary

-for the next six months.
-Really?

These are the powers of attorney
from the employees who have our shares

voting against the dismissal
of the chairman.

They are only a total of 30,000 shares,

but they show the will of 135 employees.

Some employees are even willing to

contribute the money they saved for their
wedding or return their severance pay.

Please take them into consideration,

and vote against the dismissal
of chairman Jang Suk-ja.

Ms. Jang is the chairman
that the employees want

and love.

I beg you.

Please reconsider.

Let's vote!

CONSENT FORM

THE FIFTH
JINSUNG EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER MEETING

Congratulations, ma'am.

Thanks.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

-Thank you, all of you.
-Ms. Jang.

-Congratulations!
-Yes!

I want to thank all of you.

You...

You saved me. Thank you.

How could this happen?

How could you do this to me?

How dare you stab me in the back?

You betrayed your father!

I'm sorry, Father.

You!

Do you even know what you've done?

For a woman, just for some tramp,

you sacrificed your own father!

I didn't do it for Eun-sung.

I was ashamed.

I was ashamed the moment I saw
Hwan and Eun-sung.

I thought I could never betray you.

But when I saw them,

I realized

that I would be ashamed of myself
for the rest of my life.

I can't live like that, can I?

That's not a life worth living.

How can I live while despising myself?

So you killed your father?

-I think I saved you!
-What?

You ran toward the end of the cliff,

letting down all the people
who love Ms. Jang.

-Don't be unreasonable.
-Do you think it was easy for me?

It was painful and agonizing,
but I didn't have a choice!

Let's go to the factory first.
I want to see the employees.

Next time, Grandma.
It was too intense for you today.

You have to take it easy.

Ma'am, you couldn't get a wink of sleep
last night.

I still have the energy to drop by.

Seong-cheol, to the factory, I said.

Eun-sung, thank you for your work.

No. I didn't do much, Grandma.

I will see you soon. I'll call you.

Yes.

Hwan, aren't you going to hop in?

CALLING
JUN-SE

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Yes, thank you.

Our chairman didn't get dismissed.

-Really?
-It was voted down by a narrow margin.

-I knew it.
-I'm relieved.

What happened?

That's not possible.

She didn't get dismissed?

Seung-mi, didn't you hear it wrong?

I'm saying it because it's not possible!

Hang up.

What is going on?

Why wasn't she dismissed?

MR. PARK

CALLING
MR. PARK

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

If Ms. Jang does not get dismissed
tomorrow,

this double bookkeeping will go public.

Are you threatening me?

Grandma, you always said
your employees are your family,

and they are loyal, indeed.

Then Hwan saved you, didn't he?

Hey, Hwan. How did you come up
with the idea to convince the employees?

I didn't do it alone.

The people at the second branch

and Ko Eun-sung came up
with the idea first.

Then the employees agreed to participate.
We did it all together.

The employees gave their hearts,

and Hwan and Eun-sung
brought those hearts into one.

Hwan and Eun-sung did a great job.

Eun-sung worked her butt off
only because she was worried

she wouldn't get the company.

That's not it!

Why are you yelling at us to defend her?

I know. What does Eun-sung mean to you?

Why?

No, right?

No way.

-Grandma, I'm going to head out.
-To where?

I need to thank the people
at the second branch.

I'll be back.

Hello?

Yes. Mr. Oh, how did it go?

You found the books?

Why is she not picking up the phone?

CALL LOG
KO EUN-SUNG

JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG

I thought I'd see you tomorrow.

Didn't you go home with Ms. Jang?

I came out as soon as I dropped her off.

I wanted to thank you in person.

I did it to protect my chairman,
not to protect your grandmother.

You don't need to thank me.

Mr. Lee, you can be so brusque sometimes.

That's my charm according to my wife.

Hwan, are you here to celebrate?

Where is Ms. Ko?

-Isn't she here?
-Didn't you come together?

It must be very hard for Jun-se, right?

Of course.

He stabbed his own father in the back.

I can't forget the look on his face...

that I saw at the meeting.

Honestly, I couldn't have done it.

Siding with justice
while knowing my father would get fired?

Do you think you can do that?

You could have broken his heart later.

If you were not going to hook up
with Hwan anyway,

did you have to push Jun-se away
like that?

It was for Jun-se.

Was it really for him?

Wasn't it to be with Hwan?

You know that wasn't the case.

I feel bad for Jun-se.

When you are having a hard time,
you miss the ones you like even more,

hoping that they would comfort you.

If he hadn't got the house for you,

you would not have met Hwan
through Ms. Jang.

What did you say?

Jun-se got me a house?

I guess there's no reason
to hide it anymore.

The house in Buam-dong...

You couldn't have got it without Jun-se.

What?

INCOMING CALL
SEUNG-MI

This is Park Jun-se.

It's me. Yoo Seung-mi.

What happened?

Just like you heard,

my son cast a blank ballot.

Exactly.

How could he do that?

He knew what would happen to you
if Ms. Jang wasn't dismissed.

How can a son betray his father?

I should have known my son better.

Are you kidding me?

You knew how important this was.
Before something this big...

you should have checked
a dozen, a hundred times.

I didn't lose to Jun-se.

I lost to Ms. Jang.

She devoted 30 years of her life
to the company

and it was not a waste.

Then...

What happens now?

Seong-hui,
you have nothing to do with this.

I will take on full responsibility
for whatever happens.

I will cover you completely.

You don't have to worry.

All your life, you never once got
what you really wanted.

I can't make your life more miserable.

Seong-hui.

It was smart of you

not to trust me as a man.

Take a seat.

The fact that you threatened me
with my father's double bookkeeping...

I won't tell anyone about it.

Drink that and go.

You cried

because you were worried about that,
didn't you?

You really won't tell anyone?

No.

Why not?

Are you afraid I will hand the books
to the police?

Are you afraid if Hwan finds out,

he would ditch me and go to Eun-sung?

Neither of those.

I won't tell anyone
because there's no need.

What do you mean?

You don't intend to hand in the books,

and Hwan already...

fell in love with Eun-sung.

What good is there in
making you more miserable on top of that?

Do you even...

get to breathe each day?

Before you run out of breath and die,

just tell the truth.

About what?

It's foolish
to keep your mouth shut anymore.

You will regret even more.

Regret...

That's the feeling you have
after making a wrong decision

when you had a choice.

Jun-se...

I know how foolish I look to you.

I know how shameless Eun-sung thinks I am.

Hwan...

I know he is disappointed in me.
No, actually...

He must think I'm a sick person.

I am scared

and afraid.

But I can't do anything about it.

How could I confess?

It's not something I can confess.

So I...

There is nothing I can do
except just being like this.

I can't even call Hwan anymore.

I miss him...

but I can't visit him.

I fall asleep hoping
that I won't wake up tomorrow.

The first thing I do when I wake up...

is thinking about Hwan.

Are you telling me to give up Hwan
after all these years?

If Hwan was someone
I could just give up like that...

I wouldn't have gone this far.

-Mom.
-Seung-mi.

Gosh.

Where did you get drunk like this?

Mom. My dear mom.

What's going on?

I'll get you some honey tea.

How much should I confess?

Hwan told me to sort things out myself.

Should I mention Father's death benefit?

Or...

that he is alive?

There's more.

-Eun-u--
-Stop it.

You are drunk. Get up.

Go to your room.

He laid the ground for you to get back up
when you hit rock bottom.

Give me your brother's photo.

We should make flyers first.

Whose idea was this?

Someone really smart.

Just think that you have got a big brother
fallen from the sky.

KO EUN-SUNG, CONGRATS ON GETTING A JOB

Jun-se?

What's up with you?

Did anything happen to you?

You've never been like this.
Why do you drink so much these days?

KO EUN-SUNG

DISMISSAL OF JINSUNG'S CHAIRMAN VOTED DOWN

The image of the company
will recover soon.

It talks about you too.

"Mr. Sunwoo, the grandson of Ms. Jang,

came urgently from his study abroad
to protect

his grandmother's right over the company."

Didn't I drag you here
from your study abroad?

What are you talking about?

I came back urgently
to protect your control over the company.

Bring Eun-sung home
on your way back after work.

Eun-sung?

Who is it this early?

I am sorry to come here
so early in the morning.

Come in.

Have a seat.

I'm sorry.

No.

Thank you for making
a very difficult decision yesterday.

It must have been very hard for you

standing in front of a forked road.

Please forgive my father, Grandma.

Though it was different from your case,

Jinsung meant everything to my father too.

That's why he made a foolish decision.

Please give him a chance

so that he can leave the company quietly.

I beg you.

Park Tae-su, that rotten fool.

At least he raised his son right.

Mom, then what happens to Mr. Park?

He should go to jail for embezzlement.

I feel so bad for Jun-se.

His father's going to jail
because he betrayed him.

Even if Jun-se made the right decision,
we can't let Mr. Park off the hook.

Min-seok trusted him so much.

How could he stab his friend's mother
in the back?

I should give up on Jun-se now.

He is the son of the enemy,
like in Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet?

At least they loved each other.

Why did you have to have a crush
on the son of a traitor?

Mom.

We couldn't have won without Jun-se.

You gathered the hearts of the employees
to persuade the shareholders.

Jun-se gladly got persuaded.

Is that so?

Did you meet Eun-sung yesterday?

No.

Did you call her?

I didn't feel like calling anyone.

Why do you make her worry?

She must have worried a lot about you.

Also...

Thank you.

I don't deserve your gratitude.

My father did the wrong thing first.

I apologize on his behalf.

You're always so right, aren't you,
Park Jun-se?

Are you trying to pick a fight again?

You always take the righteous path
in any situation.

That's why I hate you.

You are too perfect.

I...

I envy you for expressing your feelings
without hesitation.

I always have...

but even more so these days.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

Ms. Jang came to the office.

Will you take this to my car?

Are you leaving like this?

Thank you for everything you've done.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

I...

I'm on my way to turn myself in.

You are on fire all by yourself.

Are you implying...

you failed, but you have no regret?

I will gladly accept

any punishment for my wrongdoings.

Punishment?

You fool! The punishment
you were supposed to receive,

has already been dished out on Jun-se.

What kind of parent encourages
their child to commit a crime?

Can you call yourself a parent?

You bruised your son's heart.

How are you going to live with that?

I will let it go this time
just for Jun-se,

so bring back the company's money.

I know you've done a lot

for this company to become this big.

I couldn't have done it by myself.

Ms. Jang...

You went through

much trouble. You can go, now.

Sunwoo Hwan is here.

How is Ms. Jang?

She is back to work starting today.

Is master here yet?

Your master isn't here yet,

but our Ms. Ko is here.

-What?
-When you say

"Eun-sung," you have no problem.

Why can't he pronounce "Ms. Ko"?

They call that a Freudian slip.

"Freudian slip"?

It's when your true thoughts slip out.
So you want to serve her as your master.

Where is she?

Jun-se didn't come to work yet?

He went out again? Where?

No one heard where he was going?

He is fine, so don't worry.

He came to my place this morning and left.

Jun-se went to your house?

Hye-ri, I will call you later.

Why did Jun-se go to your house?

Was it to beg?

For his father?

Yes.

How was he?

Did he seem all right?

He was fine.

Did Grandma...

and your family...

scold him?

Are you crying?

What is he to you to make you cry?

Is he that much of a big deal to you?

He basically buried his own father.

He must feel terrible right now.

If so, he should cry, not you.

Don't cry.

Don't cry for him in front of me.

I am crying because it hurts my heart.

Did you ask what he is to me?

He lent money for my rent
without telling me, helped me move,

pulled my dumpling wagon,

made flyers to find Eun-u,
and ran around to put those up.

When I was sick,

he secretly delivered milk
and cooked for me.

He listened to me when I needed someone.

He always came running for me.

When I was going through
the most difficult time of my life,

he was the one who helped me
without letting it show.

How could I be okay if such a person
is having a hard time?

Is that so?

That much?

Grandma told you to come after work.

What?

From moving to selling dumplings,
flyers, and milk delivery?

Why did he do so much for her?

Geez, Jun-se.

Come on.
Why do I have to cook for Eun-sung?

You are doing it for a guest
who helped your mother-in-law.

Helped?

I can't trust her
until Mother changes her will.

You'll regret it afterward.

Just apologize to Eun-sung when she comes.

Apologize?

Why?

You slapped her after what
Yoo Seung-mi and her mom said.

Back then, she deserved to be slapped.

She deceived all of us.

Deserved to be slapped?

Violence is unacceptable on any account.

They said don't hit others
even with flowers.

I am not saying that
me slapping her was a good thing.

Then you can apologize.

Do I really have to?

Just apologize
so that you won't regret it later.

You regretted not listening to me
when you ran away from home last time.

Oh, that?

"You can go out if you want to,
but you can't come back at your will."

-You mean that?
-Yes.

I should have been patient.

I will get the gochujang.
Please prepare the deodeok.

Where was the deodeok?

Geez...

Wait...

Since when did I become a yes-man
to whatever Mr. Pyo asks?

Come here.

-Why?
-I said come.

Gosh!

I did one.

One? What did you...

Sit down.

Your legs will hurt.

How have you been?

All right.

You're here.

-Hello.
-Where's Grandma?

She is in her room.

Hey...

Well, back then...

you know this...

I went too far. Just that.

I'm sorry.

You're here?

Now you all know that I am sick.

I will change little by little.

I will make mistakes more frequently.

My memory will start to fade.

Grandma, you'll be all right
since you got treated early.

Even we didn't notice it, remember?

Still, I don't have a lot of time.

You guys did your best

so that I earned the time to sort out
the company.

It's time I sorted things out.

Are you already done
figuring out what to do?

All of you.

You remember
the condition of my will, right?

Eun-sung is qualified since she increased

the sales of the second branch
by 20 percent.

Eun-sung, go and learn work at HQ
starting from next week.

Grandma, I think your dementia got worse.

Sunwoo Jeong!

She is speaking nonsense.

My thoughts have never changed all along.

Mother, she approached you

because she knew who you are.

No.

Did you forget
what Seong-hui and Seung-mi said?

They showed her pictures of you and Hwan.

Did you see them showing our pictures
to Eun-sung yourself?

-No.
-Then

did you see how I met Eun-sung
for the first time?

Of course not.

Then why?

Why do you insist
that she knew me and approached me?

Seong-hui said she showed it to her.
On top of that,

Seong-hui said Eun-sung is full of lies.

That means you only listened
to your friend's words.

Grandma, do you believe her?

You...

You believe who you want to believe.

I will trust my gut.

Eun-sung, pack your stuff and come back.

Mother, hold on for a moment.

I'm sorry,

but please hear me out first.

I already told Grandma
and you at the hospital.

I won't accept it.

Grandma.

I am confident in achieving great results
with small things.

But I don't think I can run a company.

I learned that a company
is not about money,

but about sacrifice and responsibility.

I don't have those qualities. I am scared.

It scares me.

I don't think I can live like you.

Thank you for what you've done,

and I'm sorry.

Hey, do you mean it?

Yes.

So Grandma,

please cancel your will
as soon as possible.

Hey.

Then why did you try so hard
if you didn't want the company anyway?

It was because Grandma was
about to lose her company unjustly.

Eun-sung, come with me.

You...

When you said
you wouldn't accept my fortune last time,

didn't you say it because you didn't want
people to misjudge you?

Even before that,

I wasn't sure about it.

Eun-sung.

I...

I want you to follow in my steps.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

I'm really not confident about it.

If you do this,

I don't have any other solution.

You will find someone other than me.

Your grandson is all mature now.

And there could be an employee
that thinks just like you.

You've seen it this time.

How much your employees
care about you and the company.

Come on.

Why do you reject money?

Why wouldn't I accept money?
It's your company we're talking about.

Going through the meeting
made me even more sure.

I don't think I'll be able to love
the employees like you have done.

I want to live a simple life
with no burden on my shoulders,

while doing the things that I love.

Because of my will,

you went through a big conflict,

and now you are exhausted.

I'm sorry.

What are you going to do for a living
from now on?

You said you would find Eun-u

if I reach the 20 percent increase
in the second branch's sales.

Trusting that you will keep your promise,

I will get ready to start fresh now.

Then...

are you going to quit the company too?

Your company is a great place to be,

but I have a dream so precious
that I even deceived my father.

Developing recipes?

Yes. The globalization of Korean food.

I'll get going. Go back inside.

Are you sure
about not receiving Grandma's wealth?

I already said so.

Then what are you going to do?

Hold on.

-Hey, Hye-ri.
-Eun-sung.

Jun-se just came to the restaurant.

Jun-se came to the restaurant?

All right. I will be there.

Go ahead.

Go and comfort Jun-se.

You said you owe him a lot.
Then you should repay him.

Let's go. I'll drop you off.

No, I can go by my...

It's all right.

I ate too much.
I should probably run to the bus stop.

That fool.

It's so hard to act cool.

Save me, Eun-sung.

Save me, please.

Did you have to make me worry?

What did you do for the last two days?

I'm old enough for you
to not worry about me.

How can I not, after what happened?

Jun-se.

Why do you keep making me feel sorry?

Why are you sorry?

I made the decision because I had to.

My father will understand me one day.

You should have talked to me before,

or at least asked me
to grab a drink with you.

Why didn't you ask for my help
when you've done everything for me?

I want to help you too.

Did you drink for two days?

Did you even eat?

This is no fun. Let's stop.

What?

Park Jun-se is a man of pride.

I don't want your sympathy.

Why is this sympathy?

You were by my side
when I was having a hard time.

In the hard times like this,

there is nothing more comforting
than people.

Eun-sung.

I don't want the woman I love
to feel like she owes me

for the things I did for her
because I love her.

Jun-se.

What I did for you...

I did it because I wanted to.

I won't brag about it,

so don't feel like you owe me.

Happy birthday.

Is it my birthday today?

This tastes good.

Let's go to the mall after work.
I'll buy you a new outfit.

I already have plenty.
There is no need to buy more.

Then do you want shoes?

You must have plans already.

Yes.

Ms. Ko, are you sure about it?

I'll hand in the resignation letter
to Ms. Jang,

but I wanted to tell you first,

so that you can ask for more staff
or find a part-timer.

I don't get it.

Can I ask you why?

It's just the right time. That's all.

My work here is done.

Then are you going to work
until I find someone?

Yes.
Please find someone as soon as possible.

Mr. Lee.

Isn't it my payday today?

You sound like a real employee
checking up on your paychecks.

I took out the days you were absent
when Ms. Jang was in the hospital.

That's unfair. I went to nurse her.

Our company's salary is strictly based
on the attendance record.

Part-timers don't even get much, though.

RECRUITMENT INFO

Here is the money I borrowed.

Fifty-thousand won?

My pay decreased because I was absent
when Grandma was in the hospital.

I'll give you the rest next month.

The total was 230,000 won.

Give me 180,000 won more.

I said next month.

I won't be here next month,
so give it to me now.

What do you mean?

Gosh.

Tell me. What are you thinking?

You'll quit working here? Why?

It was already decided that I quit

once we reach the sales goal.

Things have changed.

Grandma and I trust you.

That's not the reason I'm quitting.

Now that I won't receive Grandma's wealth,

there's no reason for me to work here.

From now on, I am going to do things
that I wanted to.

I will find a job where I can work
while learning cooking.

Then what about us?

I told you to wait.

I told you to stay by my side.

If I wait...

does that change anything?

Us being together?

Loving each other?

Do you think we can do that?

Stop making excuses.

You're running away.

Is it because of Jun-se?

I will pay him back.

I will give you more
than what Jun-se has given you.

Jun-se is not the only one between us.

I already told Seung-mi.

Told her what?

My feelings for you

and the truth I know.

I told her everything.

To Seung-mi?

I feel bad for Seung-mi.

So I have to give her some time
to get herself sorted.

So just trust me and wait for me.

MISSING

MISSING
HAVE YOU SEEN MY BROTHER?

Eun-u.

My Eun-u.

What happened?

PLEASE CALL IF YOU SEE HIM

Yes?

I have to see you right now.

How could you call all of a sudden
and expect me to come out?

-I don't feel good.
-Come out at once!

What was so urgent
you had to call out a sick person?

I...

I'm going to turn myself in.

-What?
-I came to let you know first.

I'm going to turn myself in,

so you should get ready.

You're going to do what?

Eun-sung...

She lost Eun-u.

MISSING
HAVE YOU SEEN MY BROTHER?

KO EUN-U
MALE, 17 YEARS OLD

PLEASE CALL IF YOU SEE HIM

Didn't you know?

Didn't Eun-sung call you

when she lost Eun-u?

She didn't. I didn't know.

Not true.

She must have called you.

I said she didn't!

So?

Are you turning yourself in
to get your name back

and find Eun-u and Eun-sung?

Of course.

My Eun-u...

He lost hold of his sister.

It's Eun-u we're talking about!

He can't live alone,

but he is roaming around all by himself!

I can take care of it.

You know I'm looking for Eun-sung too.

What is there you can do
even if you get your name back?

If you turn yourself in
just to get your name back

and make me penniless,
I can't help you anymore.

It's because I can't trust you.

I'm turning myself in.

What?

Eun-sung's friend.

Did you even try to find
Lee Hye-ri's number?

-I said she moved to a foreign country!
-Hye-ri...

She doesn't have parents.

Why are you stopping me
from seeing Eun-sung?

You are ridiculous.

My private detective made one mistake,

and you accuse me?

Are you telling me
that you are going to turn yourself in,

so I should get ready
to cough up the money?

I'm going to do it no matter what you say.

Stop pushing me!

If you keep pushing me toward the cliff,

do you think I will fall?
I will push you instead.

Who created this mess?

How dare you turn yourself in?

You started this, you know?

Ramen.

Ramen guy.

Ramen is delicious.

Piano.

I don't feel like cooking ramen right now.

My heart is burning because of Spy

that I can't eat anything hot.

How have you been?

I had the most dynamic
roller coaster ride in my life.

You like Spy.

Stop talking about her.

You should meet someone
who listens to you.

Spy doesn't listen to me at all.

INCOMING CALL
SEUNG-MI

-Hey, Seung-mi.
-Hwan.

It's my birthday today.

Is it?

I forgot.

I have something to tell you.

Can I see you today?

Something to tell me?

I'm at Yeong-seok's bar.
Do you want to come here?

Are you by yourself?

Yes.

All right. I will go there right now.

Play it again.

What's wrong with you today?

You made him play that
several times already.

I don't know.
I just feel like listening to it.

Chocolate milk.

"I will buy you chocolate milk
if you play the piano."

You are a bad person
if you don't keep your promise.

Chocolate milk?

You really have a good memory.
