Episode 4
You better not go near that house down there.
Father doesn't like to be disturbed.
If you are not careful and get caught,
no one knows what will happen then.
Tak Gu!
Get up.
Explain this.
What?
Explain why you ran here at this hour and made a mess.
That... that...
Say it now!
As matter of fact, that...
It was my oversight, President.
I saw this child peeking through the window.
I was afraid he would disturb President and was planning to take him away quietly.
But I frightened him.
Why were you peeking into my workshop?
That, I don't know either.
You don't know?
In other words, I was asleep...
But...
The good smell coming from that side,
when I came to my senses, I was here already.
and I saw the president was doing like this, like this here.
This and this.
It was my oversight.
I should have told him earlier that he shouldn't come to the workshop down here.
Let's go out now.
Hurry.
President is working, are you going to disturbed him again?
I'll go.
That's enough.
You may leave, and leave this child here.
You said to leave the child here?
Correct.
Leave him in your workshop?
I already told you that are correct, you may leave now.
You can't see clearly how I make the bread from there.
What?
I mean for you to watch from here.
Yes.
That's too close, one step back.
Yes.
I haven't seen the kind of expression on Father since I was born.
but that country boy did it.
That... but, sir...
No chatting during the making of the breads.
Ah, okay...
Come over here.
Taste it.
It's fresh out of the oven, so it should taste good.
Why? You don't like bread?
No! How could I dislike? It makes no sense.
I didn't eat because I didn't have any.
Wow! It's really tasty.
This is the best bread that I've ever had.
This was the first bread I got praised by my teacher.
It was also was the first bread I made.
And, it's also my favorite bread.
Really? It is also my favorite bread.
But, President comes here every morning to make breads?
I used to come here every morning to make breads,
but recently I couldn't.
In operating a business, just making bread will not do.
Sometimes it requires spending more time drinking than making the breads.
And there are piles of matters to handle too.
I see.
I'm curious about one thing.
You said you woke up to the smell of the bread awhile back.
Yes.
The problem is that you saw me before I started baking,
so how could you have smelled it?
That... I'm not sure either.
I smelled something wonderful,
sweet like white sugar.
But also a smell like rice wine,
a little bit sour.
Every time I passed by the bakery,
I smelled something like this, so I thought it was bread naturally.
So it's like this.
Why? Is there something wrong?
Nothing is wrong. Hurry up and eat.
Yes.
President is not eating any?
Yes, I'll have some.
Did you sleep well? Ma Jun had a good night's sleep?
What is this?
It's bread.
I know it's bread.
But how you did you bring this straight over?
Because it is fresh out of the oven,
The president asked me to bring it over quickly before it got cold.
President!
Then, are you just coming out from the workshop down there?
Yes. Then. Please enjoy these.
Sit down. Go up after finishing breakfast.
It's okay, I already ate.
Mother, did you have a good night's sleep?
Did you sleep well, Father?
Ah, yes.
Looks like you were late today.
Have a seat, it's time for breakfast.
No, I had mine in the workshop before I came up here.
I'll go upstairs to prepare for work now.
Did Tak Gu have breakfast with Father?
On top of that, they had it in the workshop by themselves.
It was because it smelled so good.
Sweet like white sugar.
But also a smell like rice wine,
a little bit of sour.
The so called smell of fermentation,
there is a little bit of sweetness in the beginning.
As the fermentation progresses, it will slowly develop the unique white sugar sweetness,
as well as sourness like rice wine too.
One can test the composition of the dough by pressing it,
however, it can also be figured out by the smell.
People who can distinguish the dough composition by its smell,
I have met only one so far in my whole life.
Can you tell by the smell?
I can't.
And you?
Didn't I tell you...?
There was only one so far in my whole life!
It's very rare to meet a person with that kind of gifted smelling sense.
That is why they are called genius.
Do you understand now, you guys.
But Tak Gu, that child, said he smelled that taste.
Is it true?
Yes. It is true. Why? Can't it?
You said you were in Father's workshop,
and the bread made by Father,
you two ate together, just with you?
Correct! I already told you that I did.
Why? Can't I?
Why?
Why did you go to Father's workshop? Why?
I went there because it smelled really good.
Why? I can't do that even?
Of course, you can't.
That place is not a place where people like you can go as you wish.
Do you get it?
Is it? The president didn't say anything like that.
What?
I come here every Sunday and Wednesday morning to make bread,
you may watch me make bread whenever you want.
Really?
Don't tell lie.
I didn't tell a lie.
Father has never allowed us to enter his workshop.
And he said no one is allowed to enter.
Not just me and my sisters,
even Grandma is not allowed to enter.
But you said Father let you in,
and that anytime is welcome?
Do you expect me to believe this? Do you?
Really?
What?
Is it real that you have never in there, even once?
Would you like to go in there with me next time then?
There are many interesting things.
Should we go together?
Are you crazy? Why would I want to go there? I won't.
Why? You don't like bread?
Correct, I don't like. I don't like the smell of bread!
And don't like to eat bread!
In this world, I hate bread the most!
Would that do, beggar?!
Father!
I'm going to the factory at Cheongsan.
I have to go there because I couldn't make it last Tuesday.
Go change your clothes quickly.
Tak Gu, you should prepare too.
What? I can go too?
Is Tak Gu going too?
We are leaving in ten minutes, get ready quickly.
Yes, I'll get ready right away.
What's the meaning?
Today is Sunday, isn't it? Why go to the factory?
He is going there because there was some problem yesterday.
So he took the children there early in the morning.
Children! You said children?
Who else did he bring with him besides Ma Jun?
Ahjussi, how are you?
Tak Gu, why are you here?
Let's go inside.
Are you guys doing your job?
Yes. Yes.
What is he doing now?
Flour shouldn't sticks to your hand when you grip it like that,
if they do, then it has too much moisture in it.
Then it's not suitable for making bread.
Gosh, you are much smarter than you look.
You know this too.
You two follow me.
Here we have four types of dough,
only one of the four is suitable for making the bread.
Can you tell which one?
It's the third one.
Looks like you haven't wasted your time following President all this time.
Tak Gu, you take a guess too.
I'm not too sure.
You really can't tell?
To tell the truth, there seems to be none.
What do you mean none! Are you saying I was wrong?
Did I say you were wrong? I just said there weren't any.
What do you mean that there isn't any?
What I meant was there wasn't any smell like those in President's workshop this morning.
This one has sweetness that's different.
Although this and that have some white sugar like sweetness,
they are just sweetness.
Only this is almost similar.
But...
But!
The smell in your workshop was crisper,
and it had a little bit of sour taste to it.
But there isn't any here, so I'm not sure about the answer.
What?
So, are you saying there's no answer then?
For conclusion first, Ma Jun answered my question correctly.
However, Tak Gu, you were right too.
The yeast fragrance that you smelled in my workshop this morning, indeed isn't here.
The yeast fragrance that you smelled in my workshop in the morning was from rice yeast.
However, due to the expiration period issue,
we use different yeast in the factory;
so the fragrance from the fermentation progress is different too.
Excuse me, President.
You mean...
This child can tell how the fermentation progress is going simply by its smell?
Plant manager, you have just witnessed with your own eye, haven't you?
However...
Where are these breads heading?
They are delivering to Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Chungcheong-do.
Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do, each had their own factory there.
So you mean the factory like this, there are two more!
Correct.
Wait until next year,
we are planning to open two more factories at Jeju and Gangwon-do.
Then, what are those boxes over there for?
Why are they in different color?
10 percent of the bread, produced in the factory,
are delivered to nursing homes and orphanages for no cost.
And all of those are shipped in those kind of boxes.
No cost? Then it means they're all for free?
You give out those for free!
That's correct.
This is the primary meaning for me to produce Cheongsan bread.
Ever since I was young, I have seen a lot of people can't maintain on living.
I even lost a very good friend because of it.
At that time, it was the first time that I heard the word malnutrition.
Put it in another way,
he died of hunger.
It was more sad and painful than being killed at war.
Ever since then,
I decided to produce the best bread.
Taking up weapons and heading to the front is not the only way for patriots,
do everything to make sure there is no hunger in the Republic of Korea,
is also an act of patriotism too.
How about it?
Would you like to formally learn how to make bread?
What?
Bread?
I would like to personally teach you two this skill.
How about it?
It is not too late to make that kind of decision later.
On my way here, I was hoping it wouldn't be like this.
What do you mean?
You're not going to put my Ma Jun together with this lowly child.
Watched by the workers in the factory, and walking together all over the place.
You can't put my child with this kind of child together,
and be a laughing stock for others.
Shouldn't let others talk about it, right.
You come here just to say these words?
Up until now, I've always let you do as you wished.
Respecting your stubbornness, respecting your temper.
And I supported everything you wanted to do too.
However, I can't accept that child,
I, no longer can just watch this kind of ridiculous thing happening.
You!
If you want to teach, then just teach that child!
I don't want my son's hand touching flour!
Let's go, Ma Jun.
What are you doing? Let's go.
You may go home now.
Manager Han.
Yes, President.
Follow her.
Understood.
Why did you do that to Father?
What?
Everyone was watching, why did you make Father shameful?
Only this way, would your father not treat you lightly.
You are my son.
Seo In Sook's son.
There is no reason and it's unnecessary for you to stand next to that lowly child.
In the other words, you don't need to compete with that kind of child.
Do you get it?
If you get it, then get in the car.
You don't need to do this.
To Ma Jun, it's something meaningful.
Whether it's meaningful or not,
I don't like what I dislike.
If you don't like my way so much,
then all you need to do is carry out your plan quickly.
You're always so hesitant, what else I can do?
I had no choice but do it by myself.
So, in other words, you brought Ma Jun back, didn't you?
You even went to Cheongsan?
Yes, that's correct.
You are really great!
Really did a great thing!
Made a fool out of the children's father in front of all the people in the factory!
You really did well!
You are really shallow in view of all matters.
How could you only consider your own feelings?
Didn't I tell you before, you should look carefully and slowly.
When we did what Mother-in-law wanted at that time and took that child into this home,
you should have expected these kinds of events, shouldn't you?
Accumulating unhappiness!
And this unhappiness is accumulating deeply too.
Shallow in thinking through matters?
Only considering my own feelings?
Why isn't she thinking about who was the one who did whatever she wanted in this house?
About what Grandma said about your view of matters being shallow, I do agree with her, Mom.
What did you say?
That woman who lives in Cheongsan?
You have done so much, and left Father and Tak Gu by that woman's side!
Whenever you got mad and did something without considering anything, such behavior...
Such behavior that looks down on yourself.
When are you going to stop such behavior?
If you're worried about your mom so much,
why were you not born as a son then?
Isn't it?
I have been regretting it ever since.
If you really regret it then why not find a good man and have a glorified wedding.
Find a man with power to shake your father and marry him.
Mrs. Gong, Mrs. Gong!
Yes, Madam.
When will President come back from Cheongsan?
If it's like usual, then he should be back around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
I'm sorry.
It's because I asked you to allow me to follow you here
that President and Madam had a fight and felt hurt, isn't it?
I'm really sorry.
Are you hungry?
What?
Should we find a place to have some noodles?
You know Cheongsan much better, do you know of any good noodle place?
That, I do know one good place for it.
You do?
Should we stop by there first then?
Yes.
Mom! Mom!
Tak Gu!
Mom!
Tak Gu!
I'm here.
Did you live well?
But, how did you come here?
President says he wants a bowl of noodles, so I brought him here.
President, it's here.
Here is the best place for noodles in Cheongsan.
Please have seat over here, President.
He can't be the president!
It isn't really him, right?
There are no noodles left.
Is it? He's the president?
No cucumbers left either.
There's some in my house, do you want it?
Is there?
In that case, I'll go get the noodles from market and be right back.
And I'll leave it to you.
Okay, okay, just come back quickly.
I'll help boil the water too.
How old were you when you took this picture?
It was last year's picture.
At that time, when my mom helped clean up the photo shop,
she asked them to use photo as payment.
This is the first photo in my whole life.
Tak Gu! Tak Gu! You are back, did you?
- Hurry, Tak Gu come out. - It's okay.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Tak Gu, how come you are like this?
How could you transfer schools like that without any words?
You're so not cool!
Yes, that's not cool.
I'm sorry, but there's a reason for it.
But, Tak Gu...
Is life in Seoul good?
How's the school you transferred in?
They said girls in Seoul, their faces are pretty like ice and white.
If girls in Seoul, their faces are pretty like ice and white,
what are you then? Tofu?
Oh, that sounds right!
Soft like tofu, isn't he?
But...
Is she doing okay?
She?
Who?
Here, 80 won.
This, Ahjussi, put it on the note this time, we will pay it next time.
What? Credit again!
Not this time.
How much wine have took before?
How dare to ask again?
I'm sorry, Ahjussi.
This girl, really...
Stand right there.
You, this child.
You think you will win by taking the wine this way?
Even if you are running the errand,
You can't ask to put it on credit from now on.
Do you understand?
I am sorry, but my father told me I must bring back wine for him.
I already told you, I can't.
I can't survive by biting my nails too.
Let go of your hand, let it go.
Okay, I understand.
But, this time really is the last time.
About two weeks ago,
I heard Shin Yu Kyung's mom ran away with another man.
Did you live well?
I heard that you are living with your father in Seoul now.
Yes.
What kind of person is your father?
Is he a nice man?
Ah! You could say that.
How's the school in Seoul?
Do you have friends over there yet?
Yeah.
But, I heard that you haven't been going to school that often in this period of time.
Okay, you should go home.
I can walk home by myself from here.
But...
If my father saw you,
you would be scolded.
But, I might come back next week too.
I got it, see you later.
Ah, Tak Gu.
What was it after that...
Do you remember that Incheon shore something?
What comes after that soda something?
Ah, that.
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all.
One more time.
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all.
Tak Gu, you stop right there.
That bastard... I'll just... Hey! Bastard...
You bastard...
Hey, move it!
Hey you!
You bastard...
There are no side dishes at home.
And I don't know if the soup fits your taste or not.
Tak Gu's recommendation,
looks like he was right.
Coming here so suddenly without advance notice,
did I make any trouble for you?
Not at all, how could it?
It's my great honor that you would come.
If I knew you would be coming,
I would have prepared some side dishes then.
Wait the next time you come...
No, I am not saying that you have to come here next time.
And I am not telling you not to come either.
Why am I saying these useless words?
Did I twist my tongue?
Why has Tak Gu not come back yet?
The noodles are going soft.
Ahjumma, Ahjumma!
- Please wait a moment. - Ahjumma, Ahjumma!
Aren't you the daughter of the bar at Sangju?
Right, Yu Kyung.
Are you here to see our Tak Gu?
What should I do? Our Tak Gu right now...
Tak Gu is been chased by someone right now.
What?
I said, Tak Gu is being chased by someone right now!
Hurry up and go help him, Ahjumma.
If you don't go now, he might get hurt.
Hurry up! Hurry!
You, this guy is called Kim Tak Gu, right?
Last time you ruined my business and ran away, didn't you?
I have been looking for you for quite some time.
I've finally caught you today.
Since I got you today...
You, this little kiddo.
I told you to hide well and don't ever let me find you.
Tak Gu.
Is he in there?
No.
That way, let's check that side.
Tak Gu.
Stand up.
You hit Yu Kyung like this every day?
I said, "Do you beat Yu Kyung like this every day too?"
Hey, why does that have anything to do with you?
I beat my daughter, whether she is dead or not,
why does that have anything to do with you, kiddo. Huh?
Nonetheless, she is your own daughter.
Ahjussi, how can just beat someone because you want to?
Yu Kyung is a human too.
What? So...
You are an adult but drink daily, get drunk, and make trouble;
and beat up your only daughter without reason.
You only know how to pick on someone weaker than you.
Every day like this, even Ahjumma couldn't live in this kind of condition.
That's why she ran away, isn't it?
You, this kiddo, all the nonsense in front of who?
Are you done yet, kiddo!
Even when you do this, I am not afraid of people like Ahjussi.
In front of bad guys like Ahjussi, if I'm afraid of Ahjussi,
then it would shameful to be a man, isn't that so?
Too much damage to the pride, isn't it?
SO I'm not afraid, absolutely not afraid.
Ah, you this evil fellow.
For someone who doesn't have father, your personality is still so bad!
Make no mistake, I am not someone who doesn't have father.
Liar, where did you get a father?
Your mom had an affair with someone who had family and gave birth to you.
This is a fact that even the puppy on the road side knew.
- Do you understand, kid. - Don't speak nonsense.
I am not someone who doesn't have a father.
I have a father.
I wasn't born randomly by my mom.
My mom isn't that kind of person.
If you know nothing then you better not say anything.
I told you not speak nonsense.
Really, did you think I was funny?
I was so funny!
This kid, I was that funny? You kiddo.
Who are you?
I'm the father of this child.
So, don't touch my son lightly.
You think I would be afraid of you?
Tak Gu. Tak Gu!
What happened? Are you okay?
Look at your face, so much blood!
You... are you okay?
I'm fine, the president saved me.
What should we do if this precious hand is hurt?
It's okay, it's a small scratch and will heal in a few days.
However, Tak Gu must have had quite a scare.
But this child is quite courageous.
And his will is stronger than it looks.
He looks like you.
No, it doesn't.
Who am I? Why he would be like me?
Absolutely not.
Thank you.
You've been living such a hard life like this,
but you've managed to raise Tak Gu to be such a fine child.
And I'm very sorry.
I didn't pay any attention to you.
You must be hungry, I will go cook some noodles and bring it here.
Wait just a moment, I'll cook it right away.
I say, I say, untie this for me.
Ah, really.
What have I done wrong that you are holding me here?
What have I done wrong? Ah.
You, this guy, do you not know so you asked?
You used brute force on a child, brute force.
Brute force? What brute force?
It's that that kid did something that deserved the beating.
You don't believe me?
Do you know that that child is from which family's child?
He is the son of Geosung Foods' President Gu Il Jung!
Do you know who he is?
He's a man who personally went to the Blue House and made bread for the President.
So...
Just because I hit some famous person's son, you treat me differently and lock me up?
Is that it? Ah, It is so, right?
Take you guy directly...
It wasn't because he is Gu Il Jung's son, even if he was a beggar's son,
you would be locked up for beating him so hard.
Do you get it?
Oh, get it? Really? Oh.
Fine, when I get out,
I'll go smash them all.
Ah, really.
You come back now.
It's a little bit late today.
Yes, Mother.
Why did you come back alone? Where is Tak Gu?
He was hurt, so I left him with his mom.
I'll...
What did you say?
You just said you went that bitch's home?
- Didn't I say the child was hurt? - Don't make an excuse.
No matter what, you went there in the first place, didn't you?
You did it first.
What did you do there?
Just talking?
Or replaying the old flame from more than ten years ago?
You do not have other feelings toward that woman again, do you?
I'm tired, let's stop at this.
Don't runaway, I want to hear what you have to say.
Tell me, are you thinking of living a dual family life?
You're going to stop by that woman's home every time you go to Cheongsan?
If I am, what are going to do?
Gave birth to my child.
And took care of my child for all this time.
Whatever methods it takes, compensation is a must.
Honey!
Chasing to the factory.
Making a fool out of me and storming out of door, which is you.
Declaring loudly in front of my subordinates that,
you will not respect my methods, my stubbornness,
was also you.
So right now, you are using this way to get even?
Even the thought of getting even with you,
is gone now.
Who's there?
Meeting with you like this at home,
is not good for you.
If there is something to talk about, then go Cheongpyeong.
Is it fun?
Is it fun that I become this way?
What are you waiting for anyway?
What do you want me to do anyway?
You want me to give up everything right now?
And be your woman only?
So you don't care even when he went to that woman's home?
You just watch from the sidelines?
Even when that kid called Tak Gu replaced our Ma Jun,
inheriting his entire property,
you are going to simply watch from the sidelines like this?
You made a promise, didn't you?
You would not let me hurt again for this kind of thing.
Gu Il Jung went to that woman,
and you are so hurt?
What do you want really?
Someone so mindless about you and not taking care of you,
why are you still grabbing onto him?
It's not enough just being Gu Il Jung's wife?
What else do you want?
Gu Il Jung's money?
Gu Il Jung's heart?
- What else? - Seung Jae!
Really, who am I to you?
Who am I to you?
You are my man.
The father of my son.
That is not enough?
I only have one goal.
Let our Ma Jun inherit Geosung family.
Whenever it comes true, I will be yours.
Forever be your woman.
Do you understand?
Not for me,
but for our son.
Seung Jae! What are you doing?
Here is his workshop, why are you like this?
Wake up.
Not here, here is his workshop.
Cheongpyeong, let's go Cheongpyeong.
Seung Jae! You know my heart.
Yes, I know.
What you wanted, I know better than anyone else.
Don't worry, I will help you make it come true.
Whatever you wanted, I'll help you get it all.
Whatever you wish for, I'll help you make it.
Don't worry.
Seung Jae!
Mother-in-law!
You, this dirty, evil...
How dare...
What kind of trick are you two planning inside my house?
Mother-in-law!
Shut up, you bitch!
You guys don't know the limits.
Ma Jun is whose son?
Ma Jun's father, who is he?
Seung Jae, you.
What part of my family are you not happy with,
that you would plan such an evil trick?
They said you must not raise a black haired animal,
they meant the kind of person like you!
You lost your parents and had nowhere to go,
took pity on you, kept you with us, and sent you to study.
How could you return favor with evil?
Besides, you and Il Jung were like real brothers, weren't you?
But, how could you betray him so cruelly?
How could you plan such a horrible thing?
How could you?
Yes... you two absolutely...
I won't let you two get away, for sure.
I won't let you two get away, for sure!
Mother! Mother!
This child...
Ultimately, fate was on my side, right?
You are a very special son to me.
People like you should disappear.
As long as I am around, you will be safe.
I want you to take care of a woman.
Let me go.
You will never see that ahjumma from now on.
Mom!
