[pop music playing]
DYNAMITE KISS
[Myeong-sun] Gosh, I don't like the sight
of that. Put that thing down already.
I can't. I'm testing the prototype.
But you're taking it too far.
Earlier, the supermarket lady whispered
to me and asked if you had a baby.
Ah. How nice would it be
if it really were your grandchild?
Maybe in a million years.
Even marriage is shooting for the stars.
Not at all, we--
-[whispering] What's wrong with you?
-What?
-Yes?
-[quietly] What was that for?
[whispering indistinctly]
[Ji-hyeok] I have something to tell you.
You see,
I love Da-rim very much.
-Oh my.
-[gasps]
I'd like to marry her.
I want to become your son-in-law.
[stammers] My son-in-law?
[gasps]
What wonderful news!
I couldn't have asked
for a better moving-away present.
Don't they make such a good couple?
[chuckles] Right.
Well, they do, but…
Let's all eat this first.
You can relax.
I think your mother
-might not be too fond of me.
-Come on.
She was just caught off guard.
It looked like she was
completely charmed by you.
-Really?
-Yeah.
My mom likes handsome guys too.
[laughs]
[both laughing]
[sighs]
Having it all out in the open
feels nice.
Yeah.
Once the baby carrier is released,
everything will come to a nice close.
Mmm. Ah.
[chuckles]
-Eh. Hmm. Hmm?
-Hmm?
[chuckles]
DYNAMITE KISS
[Da-rim] It's finally here.
Natural BeBe's first baby carrier.
[coworkers exclaim]
That's right,
it's the baby carrier we created.
This is exactly how I felt
when I gave birth to my first son.
My goodness.
[both] Aw.
[Jin-hui] You know the feeling, right?
This will be out on the market
next week, right?
I'm not dreaming, am I?
[all squealing]
Now, now.
You all worked really hard.
I'm sure we'll see positive results.
-[all] Whoo!
-[Gyeong-min] Mr. Gong!
Mr. Gong! You all need to look at this.
This came out so nicely.
Look at it.
[pensive music playing]
[Da-rim] This is the same
as our prototype.
We never placed an order for this color.
This is a new product
that MomsJoy released this morning.
What?
Who's Go Da-rim? Huh?
I'm Go Da-rim.
You're Go Da-rim?
[Nan-suk gasps] Oh my!
[dramatic music playing]
What do you think you're doing?
You dare set foot in my company?
Get her out of here.
[Nan-suk] Oh my goodness.
[Chang-ho] You fool.
Do you still not get it?
Who do you think leaked that?
Go Da-rim is a spy!
[auditor] There's a record of this email
being sent to MomsJoy from your computer.
Will you still deny it?
This must be an error.
Either that
or someone secretly used my computer.
[breathes shakily]
I can confidently say
that I put my heart and soul
into developing this new product.
So why would I just give that away?
Then can you explain this?
You even had a resignation letter
prepared in advance.
You got this job as a corporate spy
in the first place, didn't you?
Were you looking to score big and bail?
That's not what happened.
What do you take me for?
[slams table]
You were the one
who lied about being married
and committed fraud to get the job.
[Chang-ho] So you knew she lied
to get hired and let it slide?
Yes.
So I'll take responsibility for that.
But
framing her for being a spy
when she didn't do anything?
That's absolutely unacceptable.
Do you know how much we lost
from this new product leak?
This isn't the time for coddling.
What are you thinking?
-[Ji-hye] Father.
-[Chang-ho sighs]
I doubt Ji-hyeok
can think rationally right now.
I've received these photos
from an anonymous sender.
[gasps]
[Ji-hye] It appears
Ms. Go didn't just steal
our trade secrets,
but also Ji-hyeok's heart.
[stammers] You idiot.
[breathes shakily, exhales deeply]
Fire Go Da-rim, and cover this up.
That seems to be the only way out.
[Ji-hyeok] No.
I can't let you do that.
I love that woman.
Love?
[groans]
Ji-hyeok.
This is
a crucial moment in your life.
You're just going to give up
on being promoted to vice president
and our joint venture with Taeyu C&T?
All because of a woman like her?
Emotions like that are fleeting.
Money, power, and companies
are what last to be passed down.
Think wisely!
I'll handle the investigation.
-Is that her?
-Yeah.
-It is her, right?
-That's her?
[employee 1] Yes, that's her.
She lied to get her position
on the Mother TF Team.
-What a fraud.
-How shameless.
I heard she's even spying on us.
-How shameless.
-The absolute nerve.
-[employee 1] She seduced the team leader.
-Look. It's her.
Why does she live like that?
[footsteps echoing]
[romantic music playing]
[Da-rim] You shouldn't be doing this.
People are staring.
[breathes deeply] I don't care.
I'm sorry.
Why would you be sorry?
What did the auditor say?
You must've been scared all alone.
[sighs] I felt so wronged,
but there was nothing I could say.
If I were him, I'd think I was guilty too.
They said I should stop working
and go home for now.
Don't worry too much.
I'll do whatever it takes
and take care of it all.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
-Well, I was right, wasn't I?
-[Ji-hye] Yeah.
It totally played out the way we expected.
[screams] This is so thrilling! [cackles]
Don't get too excited.
The climax has yet to come.
The climax?
[inhales deeply]
[inhales deeply] You worked hard.
[ominous music playing]
[Tae-yeong] Go Da-rim
and then, Gong Ji-hyeok.
[Ji-hye] Ms. Go.
Can we
talk for a moment?
I think we should prioritize
restoring the art hall's image
-that was damaged by the fire.
-Sure, go ahead.
We're thinking of "a new beginning"
as the theme for the next exhibition--
Sure, go ahead.
Ms. Yu.
-Ms. Yu?
-Go ahead.
Uh… [clears throat]
-Yes?
-[stutters] You seem very tired.
[scoffs] I'm fine. Please continue.
Well… How would you like us to proceed?
-Did you have fun today?
-Yes.
-What'd you do?
-We drew pictures.
But…
Did he already go home? Geez.
Ms. Han?
She looks like the pretty lady.
That's her mother.
Really?
Wait, Jun!
Hello.
My name is Kim Jun.
Huh?
Uh…
Oh, I see. Hello.
I hear you're the pretty lady's mom.
"Pretty lady"?
I'm best friends with her.
Is that so?
What are you doing?
What…
Can you give this to her?
This?
This too.
MILK
This too?
And make sure to tell her it's from Jun.
I'm sorry.
Kim Jun, I told you to stop doing this.
She isn't coming back.
Okay.
Why are you scolding the child?
He says he's best friends with Ha-yeong,
so why can't he give her a gift?
[whimsical music playing]
[stammers]
What am I even doing here? [grunts]
My goodness.
Goodness gracious.
But what brings you here?
Well…
I came to see some land.
It's just a hobby.
Since we ran into each other,
how about a cup of tea?
I'm hungry.
You are?
What do you want to eat?
[Seon-u] All right, let's eat.
The adult should have a bite first.
Here you go.
[stammers] All right.
Th-Thanks.
Good job.
Please feel free to have some
if you haven't eaten yet.
[stutters] Go on and eat.
What's wrong?
There's bread left.
Mmm!
Have some of this too.
-Chew thoroughly and eat slowly.
-Okay.
There are sausages, tomatoes,
and quail eggs.
[inhales deeply]
Mr. Kim.
Are you aware
that Ha-yeong has feelings for you?
You don't need to worry.
I can assure you
that Ms. Yu and I will never date.
[inhales sharply] Uh… [chuckles]
Well, life is full of surprises.
No.
I made sure to make that clear to Ms. Yu,
so you don't need to worry.
Ah! So that's why
she's such a mess right now.
Hold on.
You keep telling me not to worry.
Who's worried here?
You think I'm worried?
I didn't want to
make you worry needlessly.
Well, you're right about that.
I am worried.
Mr. Kim, you can't be so narrow-minded
if you want to survive
in this cruel world.
You need to be open-minded.
Ever heard of it?
-Pardon?
-[Mi-ok] You're still young.
You need to open your heart up
and date all sorts of people.
Why don't you like Ha-yeong?
Well, I didn't mean
that I particularly disliked her…
By any chance,
do you dislike chaebol families?
Do you not like money?
Are you repulsed by the idea of a woman
buying you a house and a car,
and paying for trips abroad every season?
Does the idea of living in a great house
while never worrying about money
just make your skin crawl?
-Ms. Han.
-Yes?
I know Ha-yeong
has a pure heart with a kind soul.
That's why.
I mean… [inhales deeply]
That's more reason
for her to find someone who can
truly love her more than I ever can.
[sad music playing]
I'm not ready
to let someone into my life just yet.
I'm sorry.
[pensive music playing]
[Gyeong-min] Ji-hyeok.
[exhales sharply] I checked with security,
and the day the email was sent
from Da-rim's computer--
-The security cameras were down, huh?
-Oh. How'd you know?
What about the recipient's email account?
Here.
But the thing is,
the account has already been deleted.
Okay. First, have the investigation agency
search for social media accounts
with similar usernames
that belong to Koreans aged 30 or older,
who have been photographed
near MomsJoy's registered address.
Got it. Koreans aged 30 or older.
Have them gather all posts tagged
"MomsJoy" and cross-check them
with the compiled list of usernames.
Also, have them check
all the accounts that commented
-on MomsJoy's official accounts.
-I'll have them start immediately.
[upbeat music playing]
GONG JI-HYE, YU TAE-YEONG
Just wait and see.
I'll expose you all,
even if I have to go
to the ends of the earth.
[auditor] How much longer
are you going to hold out?
Ms. Go Da-rim!
That's enough.
We're investigating internally
to uncover the truth.
Let's postpone the interview
for a few days.
[auditor] You're looking
to uncover the truth?
She was employed through fake credentials
and even secretly dated
her immediate supervisor.
Are there more truths
that need to be uncovered?
Ms. Go Da-rim.
Just confess to it now,
and stop making everyone's life hard.
[Ji-hyeok] That has nothing to do
with the leak.
You can't accuse her like this
based on one email--
He's right.
I did it.
[melancholy music playing]
I was the one who leaked the new product
to a competitor.
-Da-rim.
-I did it alone.
Mr. Gong and the team members
knew nothing about it.
What are you saying right now?
Can we have a moment to talk alone?
[Da-rim] No.
I'd rather speak to you alone
without Mr. Gong present.
[auditor] She wants to speak to me alone.
Follow me.
[footsteps echoing]
[Ji-hye] Of course, I believe you.
I know how hard you've worked until now.
Ji-hyeok also told me
about how you had no choice
but to lie about your identity.
It must've been so tough.
I appreciate it.
[Ji-hye] But what can we do?
All the evidence just happens
to point to you as the culprit.
I know very well
what kind of person you are,
but the shareholders don't.
The shareholders?
Ah. There will be
a shareholders' meeting soon.
The original plan
was to have Ji-hyeok be promoted
to vice president then.
It's basically a successor announcement.
[breathes deeply]
It's unfortunate that something like this
had to happen
at such a crucial moment.
Could Mr. Gong
be negatively affected by this?
[Ji-hye] Very much so.
As the successor, he must be
the most impartial and level-headed.
But he knowingly overlooked
a team member's fraudulent hiring.
He covered for a corporate spy
out of personal feelings.
Or…
did the two of them conspire
to leak company secrets?
Forget vice president.
He'd be immediately dismissed
from his current position.
I'm really sorry,
but you're the only one who can stop this.
How can I stop it?
You just need to
take the fall for everything.
Are you suggesting
I make a false confession?
-Even so, that seems a bit--
-Think about it.
If the investigation drags on,
Ji-hyeok would escalate things
just to protect you.
His reputation in the industry
will plummet the more he keeps doing that.
Even if he goes back to consulting,
who would hire someone
fired by his own father's company
for corruption?
Not to mention,
if you deny it until the end,
knowing the chairman's personality,
he'll tear apart the Mother TF Team.
Even if there's no evidence,
suspicion alone is enough for him
to fire the whole team.
They're just interns
at the end of the day.
Why would he go after the team?
They all worked really hard
in hopes of becoming full-time.
[Ji-hye] Exactly.
You're leaving soon anyway.
For the sake of Ji-hyeok
and the rest of the team members,
could you
help them out a little?
[auditor] Ms. Go.
You just need to review this
and sign at the bottom.
We wrote down exactly what you said.
2. FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES
3. ADMISSION AND REFLECTION
STATEMENT BY: GO DA-RIM
You made the right choice.
Is Da-rim still being questioned?
I hope she'll be okay.
Of course, she'll be fine.
She did make a mistake,
but to call her a spy…
That's nonsense.
Damn it.
The chairman just slapped her
out of nowhere.
As soon as her innocence is proven,
I'll go to that chairman or whatever
and give him a piece of my mind.
Seriously, what are we going to do
with our stay-at-home moms?
She was clearly a spy.
You coddled her
without knowing who she really was.
Serves you right.
Who are you calling a spy?
Da-rim would never do such a thing!
[laughs]
Goodness me, that's why
you were stabbed in the back.
Anyway, just know that the company
took a major blow because of her.
You all need to take responsibility
for this too!
-[slams table]
-[Nan-suk] Oh!
Responsibility?
We'll take responsibility.
But what if she's innocent?
If she is, will you take responsibility?
What did you say? [scoffs]
Sure, I'll take responsibility.
How dare an intern
glare at a team leader like that?
Glaring?
My eyes are just naturally like this.
-Yes, her eyes are always like that.
-That's right.
-You're insulting her appearance.
-What?
-Yeah.
-That's sexual harassment!
-Yeah!
-Sexual harassment!
-Fine.
-Unbelievable.
-Let's end this today!
-What's wrong with you?
-You should watch what you say!
-No way.
Go Da-rim confessed.
What was that?
Aw.
[Ha-yeong] Mom.
Hey, Ha-yeong.
What are you up to?
-I was just sitting here. Why?
-[Ha-yeong] Listen.
I want to go to the US.
Sure. A trip might do you some good.
No.
I want to study abroad.
I want to get that degree I never got.
I'll get married later.
Then what about Mr. Kim?
You're giving up?
He seemed like a good guy
when I talked to him.
You met with him?
What now?
How did you harass him this time?
I didn't harass him.
You were sulking around all day,
so I just went to see him to find out
if something had happened between you two.
Why would you do that?
[sighs] Forget it.
Pursuing him when he doesn't like me
will only make his life harder.
I'm leaving
to forget about Mr. Kim.
I'll get ready to go back to school.
[gentle music playing]
[stammers] But…
you should take this with you.
He wanted you to have it.
This too.
[chuckles]
[Ha-yeong] Jun.
Did you know?
I had more fun
at your talent show
than I've ever had at any party.
[inaudible]
[chairperson] I've never liked
Gong Ji-hyeok from the start.
He just came out of nowhere
with that useless CSR initiative
and tree planting nonsense.
-[scoffs]
-[Ma] You're right.
It was a project
Executive Director Kim In-ae used to lead.
So if Mr. Gong becomes the successor,
he's bound to
bring back her people, no?
Then what does that mean for us?
Ji-hyeok's biggest supporter
is none other than Chairman Gong.
As long as he's in power,
Ji-hyeok will do
what he must to get rid of me
and all of you as well.
[all gasp]
What? He's going to clean house?
Who does he think grew this company
to what it is now?
[Ma] Absolutely.
This is just pure nonsense.
Then should we strike first
before he gets a chance to attack us?
After all,
the shareholders' meeting
is right around the corner.
How about we bring forth
a motion to dismiss the chairman then?
-A motion to dismiss him?
-Dismissal? Is that even possible?
-[chairperson 2] That might be pushing it.
-[chairperson 3] Right?
[chairperson 4] For such a motion to pass,
you'd need the approval
of at least two-thirds
of the shareholders present at the meeting
and at least one-third
of the total issued shares.
You have more than enough here to pass
the attending shareholder vote,
but securing one-third
of the total shares will be a challenge.
[chairperson 5]
The recent paid-in capital increase
led to more foreign investors
and minor shareholders.
Getting them on board won't be easy.
[Tae-yeong] My goodness.
Hello.
[suspenseful music playing]
You all seem rather concerned.
Please allow me to explain that to you.
[automated voice] You will be redirected
to voicemail,
and charges will apply after the beep.
She's not picking up, is she?
Her phone's turned off.
I mean, she should loop us in
so we can protect her or fight for her.
She must have her reasons.
Should we just go to her place?
Her address should be
in her personnel file.
-I'll go with you.
-[Jin-hui] Me too.
No, just give her some space.
If a visit were to solve all this,
she would've already told us everything.
-She just needs time.
-[sighs]
[door opens]
[Myeong-sun] Da-rim.
Mr. Gong… I mean, Ji-hyeok's here.
Don't let him in.
[Da-rim] That's right.
I did it.
I had to quit after this project,
but I didn't get a single callback
from any company.
And their terms weren't bad.
They offered a lot of money and a job.
-You're lying.
-I'm not lying.
I really did it.
You'd never do such a thing.
[Da-rim] Did you forget who I was?
I didn't hesitate to lie about being a mom
just to get a job and make money.
No.
The Da-rim I know…
would stop arguing on the street
to help a stranger pick up tangerines
off the ground
and gladly throw herself to save the child
of someone who harassed her.
She'd jump into a pool
to save her teammates' jobs
when she can't even swim.
She even jumped into a fire to save me.
So how am I supposed to believe that?
If you're doing this for my sake,
you don't need to.
As long as I have you--
[Da-rim] Let's…
break up.
[Ji-hyeok] Don't do this.
You have me.
Why do you insist on suffering alone?
Just trust me and--
I'm suffering because of you.
Do you not get it?
Listen.
If it weren't for you,
I would've lived a quiet, uneventful life.
But because I got involved with you,
I was constantly anxious
and had to walk on eggshells,
and now, everyone knows
I lied to get that job.
[exhales sharply] I know.
I brought this on myself.
I'm getting punished for acting out
without knowing my place.
But having to show myself in this state
to you and the rest of the team
is so degrading and humiliating.
That's what I find even more unbearable.
So…
let's just end things here.
Let's each go back to where we belong.
Da-rim.
This is me…
at rock bottom.
[sniffles]
[sobs]
[sniffles]
[Myeong-sun] Da-rim.
Wake up, Da-rim.
What are you doing?
You should be getting ready for work.
Wake up, my little princess.
Mom.
[gasps]
What were you thinking?
How could you do that?
I didn't have any other option.
The bank said they'd take the house
if I didn't pay back the loan.
I had to pay the hospital bills
and Da-jeong's private loan.
Part-time jobs wouldn't have covered them.
I know it was wrong…
but I had no other choice.
Even so.
[stammers] How could you lie
about something like that for a job?
[breathes deeply]
What did Mr. Gong say?
I told him we should break up.
He knew I lied
and still covered for me,
and now he's in a tight spot.
[Myeong-sun breathing heavily]
Mom.
You don't need to worry.
I'll pull myself together
and find a job.
You just focus on staying healthy, okay?
Let's sell the house.
Sell this house and pay off the debt.
Mom.
What are you talking about?
Even if we sell this house,
we'll have nothing left
after we pay back Seon-u's deposit.
And this house
isn't something we can just sell off.
It's filled with the memories Dad left us.
Who cares about any of that?
I didn't even know
you were living through that hell.
You must have suffered so much,
having to carry all that burden alone.
I'm…
really sorry.
I'm sure your dad
would want us to do the same.
Mom.
[Myeong-sun] It's settled.
Let's take care of everything
and head to your aunt's place
in the countryside.
You need to recharge as well.
You can't…
keep going like this.
[Da-rim crying, wailing]
[Da-rim] Let's…
break up.
I'm suffering because of you.
This is me…
at rock bottom.
[gentle music playing]
Nice and bright, right? [laughs]
Based on the parameters you provided,
they managed to narrow it down
to this guy.
Nam Su-yong, the manager
of the strategy team at MomsJoy.
They tailed him for three days,
and they caught him
in a suspicious interaction.
This one.
Found you.
Da-rim!
Da-rim!
DA-RIM
The caller you are trying to reach
is unavailable.
You will be redirected to voicemail
after the beep.
[Ji-hyeok] Please, Mr. Kim.
You must know where Da-rim is right now.
I do,
of course.
We can clear her name.
We have evidence.
If I can just explain it to her--
How can I trust you?
I heard you two broke up.
I have nothing more to say,
so please leave.
I didn't agree to breaking up.
Listen, Mr. Gong.
-Your father was the one--
-Exactly.
That's why I'm here to protect her.
So that no one can ever
lay a finger on her again.
I'm going to protect her.
Snack time!
Come eat!
All right!
Coming.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
They sell radish water kimchi to go?
Yeah.
It's really popular in this town.
It goes so well with sweet potatoes.
-Try it.
-They're cooked well.
So how's working at the orchard?
It's hard, isn't it?
Not at all.
-I think I picked more than you, Uncle.
-[chuckling]
You're so lucky
to have a daughter like her.
She's so quick and witty.
Gyu-cheol is also dependable.
Are you talking about
that unhelpful son of ours? [chuckles]
I'd ask for nothing more if only he could
be the tiniest bit like Sang-sik.
Sang-sik?
-The village head's son?
-Yes.
Oh.
Sang-sik was the one
who came up with this.
He's the best our village has to offer.
He'll be here tomorrow.
You should say hi.
He's still single, you know. [chuckles]
You're single too, right?
Well,
I guess I am.
[sighs]
[grunting]
MR. GONG
[chuckles]
[groans]
[sniffles, sighs]
[Da-rim]
To account for sweating in the summer,
we can use some sort of mesh fabric.
How about making it with mesh fabric
and detachable?
Two options for summer and winter.
That could work.
I can talk
to the development team tomorrow.
[Ji-hyeok] I'm going home first.
I'm really leaving.
I don't know why hearing you
tell me to go home makes me so sad.
Can't you stop me and make me stay?
I'm going home first.
I'm really leaving.
[Ji-hyeok scoffs]
I don't know why hearing you
tell me to go home makes me so sad.
Can't you stop me and make me stay?
I just want to
chat and laugh with you every day.
[Da-rim grunts]
Can you wait for me?
As soon as my mom's stuff gets sorted out…
I'm going to propose to you.
I love you, Go Da-rim.
[sobbing]
Am I at the right place?
-[clattering]
-[mutters, grunting]
BOK-SIL
Who are you?
-Wait.
-Tell me.
How dare you sneak in here, you thief!
Wait!
-Please calm down and hear me out.
-What?
Why would I listen to a thief?
You damn thief!
You're dead meat today.
You're so dead.
Come here.
-What's going on?
-Are you okay?
-Who's that?
-[uncle] You're dead meat.
I'm going to end you.
Ji-hyeok?
Da-rim.
What the…
You know him?
What are you doing here?
Gi-chan. You can stop now.
He's not a thief.
He's Da-rim's boss.
What brings you here
in the middle of the night? [chuckles]
Uh… Allow me to introduce myself.
-I'm Gong Ji-hyeok.
-Hello.
I knew it was rude to come without notice,
but I had something to discuss
with Da-rim.
-Please forgive me.
-No, it's fine.
If you know it was rude to do,
you should leave.
I'm sorry for disturbing you two.
But still, he came all this way.
[chuckles]
No, I have nothing to say to him.
You should head back now.
I just need a second.
I rushed over here.
[echoing] I didn't even have time to eat!
[Myeong-ja] What?
You didn't eat yet?
That's right.
Oh dear.
[Myeong-ja] My goodness, I feel terrible.
I didn't have time to prepare,
so I was only able to put together
a few side dishes.
This is a feast.
Thank you so much.
Take your time and eat up.
I will.
Oh.
Go on.
[breathes shakily, coughs]
[Da-rim] Uh…
He's going to get indigestion.
You should go to your rooms
so he can eat and leave.
Right, of course.
We should let him eat in peace. Let's go.
-Should we?
-[Myeong-sun] Yeah, let's go.
No, you don't need to.
I actually love it
when people watch me eat.
It makes the food tastier
and helps with digestion.
Please continue watching me.
Don't go anywhere.
Sit down.
Watch him eat.
[slurps]
Oh…
This is so good. [chuckles]
It's nice to see you enjoy it.
Anyway, what brings you all the way here
this late at night?
By any chance, are you and Da-rim
together or something?
-Yes, we are--
-[Da-rim] No.
We're not anymore.
[Gi-chan] What?
So he's a former boyfriend?
Ex-boyfriend?
All right then. We're all good. [chuckles]
What do you mean?
Well, Sang-sik asked
if you had a boyfriend,
so I told him you didn't.
This could've turned out very badly.
Sang-sik?
[Gi-chan] Kim Sang-sik.
He has always taken
such great care of my niece
ever since they were little kids.
When Da-rim wanted persimmons,
he climbed up the tree,
but he ended up falling.
He even cracked his head open.
That's why Da-rim promised him
that she'd take care of him forever,
remember?
[all laughing]
You remember, right, Myeong-sun?
-Take care forever?
-We were just kids back then.
Come on now.
We laughed it off back then,
but I think they'd make a cute couple.
-Of course!
-Yeah!
I doubt that.
Do you know Sang-sik?
Well, no, I don't.
[clears throat]
I'm…
not her ex-boyfriend.
I'm her current boyfriend.
-What?
-What?
I came to take Da-rim back to Seoul.
[Gi-chan] Hold on.
You're going back?
No, no.
Don't go back.
-Just marry Sang-sik and settle down here.
-[Myeong-sun] Stop it.
He's the youth association chairman,
he has a lot of land
and his family farm to inherit.
He has a bright future ahead.
He's also a former UDT soldier.
I, too, served in the Republic of Korea
Army and was discharged as a sergeant.
-You did?
-Yes.
Good for you.
Finish the rest of your meal.
-Pardon?
-Eat up.
Okay.
[Myeong-sun] Take your time.
-You should go back--
-Take a look at this.
Okay.
The man I saw at the exhibition fire
was seen meeting
with a representative from MomsJoy.
It means
both incidents were deliberately planned
by the same person.
Who would do that?
Why would they take it this far?
They framed you to get rid of me.
They knew you were my weakness.
I'm sorry. I had no idea.
I thought this would be the best option.
You were just caught in the crossfire
because of me.
I should be sorry.
Once this man is caught,
your name
will be cleared.
So take it back.
What do you mean?
The breakup.
Take it back now.
You just said I was your weakness.
If I stay by your side,
I'll only make you weaker
as your weakness.
Do you still not get it?
I grow weaker when we're apart.
I'm on the verge of collapsing right now,
so take it back.
Take it back…
and say you'll come back to Seoul with me.
I won't leave until you do.
Whatever.
-Hold on. My mom is here too.
-I'm not leaving.
-Housing would still be an issue.
-Whatever.
Why are you taking your socks off?
[Gi-chan clears throat]
Are you still talking?
No, we're done.
[door opens]
We have to get up early for farmwork.
Let's get to bed.
-Let me.
-It's fine. I'll do it.
Da-rim, you can sleep here.
Mr. Gong, you can sleep with me
in the living room.
It'll be nice and cozy.
Wait, sir, we're sleeping together?
What, are you going to sleep with Bok-sil
in the yard?
-Bok-sil's house is small.
-Good night.
Good night.
Go and sleep.
-Hurry up, let's go to sleep.
-Yes, sir. Coming.
[Da-rim] Good night.
[Gi-chan] Mr. Gong.
Hello?
You slept enough. You should get up now.
We have so much work to do today.
Hello?
Mr. Gong.
[groans]
Fine. Keep sleeping.
Sleep the day away.
I wanted to see if you were strong enough
to be a good fit for my niece,
but I guess not.
I knew Sang-sik was the one.
[grunts] It's already morning?
Where should I start?
Just tell me what to do.
Gosh, he ate the most at breakfast,
but he's as weak as can be.
Move it already!
-[chuckling]
-[grunting] Sorry, sir.
-It's my first time farming.
-Oh gosh.
Oh no. He picked all the unripe ones.
-Sorry?
-Jeez.
But the sir here said
these were ripe enough to be picked.
There you go again.
Why do you keep calling me "sir"
like I'm some old man?
I'm not even 60 yet, okay?
Look carefully. Look.
[Sang-sik] Gi-chan!
-What in the world is that?
-[engine revving]
SANG-SIK'S MUSIC
My goodness, the weather's spectacular.
Hey, Gi-chan. Have you been well?
Yeah.
Did you hear that?
My gosh. Welcome, Sang-sik.
-[chuckles]
-Did your training go well?
Yes, all thanks to you.
Goodness me. You've become even prettier
over a few days, Myeong-ja.
Is it that obvious?
[both laughing]
Did you already start harvesting?
Jeez, I told you to wait for me.
What's the point of lounging around?
We have my sister-in-law
and Da-rim visiting from Seoul.
They were helping out.
[Da-rim] Sang-sik.
It's been forever.
My aunt and uncle told me
how successful you've become.
Gosh, I'm flattered.
Have you been well?
Why haven't you come to visit
all this time?
I missed you so much.
I was too busy making a living.
It's so nice to see you.
Ah.
Since you're here,
you should stay a while.
We can hang out
-like we used to when we were kids.
-Uh… sounds good.
[Ji-hyeok] Excuse me.
Da-rim is going back to Seoul with me.
Who are you?
-I'm…
-[Gi-chan] Her former boyfriend.
The ex-boyfriend. [chuckles]
It seems like Da-rim's over him,
but I don't know
why he came all this way to be clingy.
[Sang-sik] Uh-huh…
I mean, it makes sense.
I understand.
You won't find a better woman
than my Da-rim.
That's why
I still can't forget about her.
Gosh, why would you joke around like that?
[laughing]
[scoffs]
"My" Da-rim?
-Da-rim.
-Yeah?
I'll buy you lots of delicious food.
I've made a lot of money.
You know?
[chuckles]
Come on. Stop that already.
[scoffing]
[Sang-sik] What's with him?
Ji-hyeok, you shouldn't cut the branches.
You need to cut it closer to the stem.
Yes, a bit lower.
-[Sang-sik clears throat]
-[Da-rim] Hmm?
[Ji-hyeok gasps]
[Da-rim exclaims]
That's amazing.
[panting]
Are you okay?
[Sang-sik] Jeez. Hurry it up already.
-[grunts]
-[Da-rim] Um…
Let me.
I'm fine.
Go on.
Okay.
There we go.
We don't want to damage
that fine skin of yours.
[Da-rim] Thanks.
You just relax and enjoy this ice cream.
I'll take care of everything else.
[Da-rim chuckles]
[Sang-sik] Come on, it's going to melt.
[grunts]
Oh! Ji-hyeok, are you okay?
Are you okay? Oh no.
Are you okay?
Are you?
-[chuckles]
-That's a relief.
[chuckles] You must be tired.
Here we go.
[grunting]
So why would you even think
you stood a chance against him
when you've never even been on a farm?
That's the wrong spot.
What? Really?
A bit further up.
Okay, hold. Further up.
-No, further up.
-Here?
No, further up.
-Where?
-A bit more.
No, further up.
-I don't think--
-More.
[grunts]
How can you be joking around right now?
I didn't like the way he looked at you,
and everyone was praising him.
I wanted to look cool too,
but nothing was going my way.
I rushed because I felt anxious.
Even so,
did you think I'd call you manly
for being good at farmwork?
Did you think I'd be impressed
if I saw you push yourself
to the point of injury?
You're unbelievable.
Why are you smiling?
I like it.
What?
Thank you for nagging me.
It means you're worried about me.
As if. When did I worry about you?
I'm here
because I want to hear you nag
for the rest of my life.
I missed you so much.
I love you.
-Unbelievable.
-I missed you.
Seriously.
Are you okay?
It hurts.
Drive safely.
Just wait for a little longer.
I'll be sure to prove your innocence
and come back for you.
Mmm.
Oh, right.
This is a copy
of the voice notes I recorded
while working on the new product.
There are a lot of ideas on there
that were never used.
I thought
they might come in handy later on.
All right.
[Myeong-sun] Are you leaving?
Yes, I'll be heading back now.
I'm sorry for causing you distress.
Not at all.
You must've had a hard time
because of Da-rim.
I'm the one who's sorry.
Oh.
This is steamed corn and rice punch.
They're snacks for the road.
[gasps]
They're my favorites.
Oh.
They're still warm.
I figured you'd like them,
so I just steamed them.
Thank you. I'll be sure to enjoy them.
All right. Drive safely.
Get back safely.
[Da-rim chuckles]
My vote is for Ji-hyeok, not Sang-sik.
[gasps]
What? Why do you get to choose?
Then again, I'm on the same page.
Hey, Da-rim.
[chuckles]
I'll wrap things up and be on my way.
Bye.
[line clicks]
[Ji-hye] A major incident occurred
at Natural BeBe recently.
MOTHER TF EMPLOYEE GO DA-RIM
MARRIAGE STATUS: UNMARRIED
Team Leader Gong Ji-hyeok
had been romantically involved
with his subordinate,
and he overlooked the fact that
she lied to secure her position.
-Therefore…
-[crowd murmuring]
I'd like to request
a special vote concerning the dismissal
of Mother TF Team Leader Gong Ji-hyeok.
Please cast your votes now.
[mic feedback]
[person] It's Team Leader Gong.
["Romantic Rebel" playing]
DYNAMITE KISS
[music stops]
[gentle piano music playing]
[Gyeong-min] Now, let's get in there.
[Ji-heyok] That is to say,
today's special vote is null and void.
Neither you nor Chairman Gong
is qualified to run this company.
[Ji-hyeok] Yes, that's right.
There's someone else more qualified
to run this company.
It's her.
Did it go well?
[Ji-hyeok] I'm on my way to you.
It's all because of that bastard,
Gong Ji-hyeok.
[Da-rim] You're almost here, right?
Hello? Ji-hyeok? Ji-hyeok!
Ji-hyeok!
Subtitle translation by: Justin S. Kim
[pop music playing]
DYNAMITE KISS
[Myeong-sun] Gosh, I don't like the sight
of that. Put that thing down already.
I can't. I'm testing the prototype.
But you're taking it too far.
Earlier, the supermarket lady whispered
to me and asked if you had a baby.
Ah. How nice would it be
if it really were your grandchild?
Maybe in a million years.
Even marriage is shooting for the stars.
Not at all, we--
-[whispering] What's wrong with you?
-What?
-Yes?
-[quietly] What was that for?
[whispering indistinctly]
[Ji-hyeok] I have something to tell you.
You see,
I love Da-rim very much.
-Oh my.
-[gasps]
I'd like to marry her.
I want to become your son-in-law.
[stammers] My son-in-law?
[gasps]
What wonderful news!
I couldn't have asked
for a better moving-away present.
Don't they make such a good couple?
[chuckles] Right.
Well, they do, but…
Let's all eat this first.
You can relax.
I think your mother
-might not be too fond of me.
-Come on.
She was just caught off guard.
It looked like she was
completely charmed by you.
-Really?
-Yeah.
My mom likes handsome guys too.
[laughs]
[both laughing]
[sighs]
Having it all out in the open
feels nice.
Yeah.
Once the baby carrier is released,
everything will come to a nice close.
Mmm. Ah.
[chuckles]
-Eh. Hmm. Hmm?
-Hmm?
[chuckles]
DYNAMITE KISS
[Da-rim] It's finally here.
Natural BeBe's first baby carrier.
[coworkers exclaim]
That's right,
it's the baby carrier we created.
This is exactly how I felt
when I gave birth to my first son.
My goodness.
[both] Aw.
[Jin-hui] You know the feeling, right?
This will be out on the market
next week, right?
I'm not dreaming, am I?
[all squealing]
Now, now.
You all worked really hard.
I'm sure we'll see positive results.
-[all] Whoo!
-[Gyeong-min] Mr. Gong!
Mr. Gong! You all need to look at this.
This came out so nicely.
Look at it.
[pensive music playing]
[Da-rim] This is the same
as our prototype.
We never placed an order for this color.
This is a new product
that MomsJoy released this morning.
What?
Who's Go Da-rim? Huh?
I'm Go Da-rim.
You're Go Da-rim?
[Nan-suk gasps] Oh my!
[dramatic music playing]
What do you think you're doing?
You dare set foot in my company?
Get her out of here.
[Nan-suk] Oh my goodness.
[Chang-ho] You fool.
Do you still not get it?
Who do you think leaked that?
Go Da-rim is a spy!
[auditor] There's a record of this email
being sent to MomsJoy from your computer.
Will you still deny it?
This must be an error.
Either that
or someone secretly used my computer.
[breathes shakily]
I can confidently say
that I put my heart and soul
into developing this new product.
So why would I just give that away?
Then can you explain this?
You even had a resignation letter
prepared in advance.
You got this job as a corporate spy
in the first place, didn't you?
Were you looking to score big and bail?
That's not what happened.
What do you take me for?
[slams table]
You were the one
who lied about being married
and committed fraud to get the job.
[Chang-ho] So you knew she lied
to get hired and let it slide?
Yes.
So I'll take responsibility for that.
But
framing her for being a spy
when she didn't do anything?
That's absolutely unacceptable.
Do you know how much we lost
from this new product leak?
This isn't the time for coddling.
What are you thinking?
-[Ji-hye] Father.
-[Chang-ho sighs]
I doubt Ji-hyeok
can think rationally right now.
I've received these photos
from an anonymous sender.
[gasps]
[Ji-hye] It appears
Ms. Go didn't just steal
our trade secrets,
but also Ji-hyeok's heart.
[stammers] You idiot.
[breathes shakily, exhales deeply]
Fire Go Da-rim, and cover this up.
That seems to be the only way out.
[Ji-hyeok] No.
I can't let you do that.
I love that woman.
Love?
[groans]
Ji-hyeok.
This is
a crucial moment in your life.
You're just going to give up
on being promoted to vice president
and our joint venture with Taeyu C&T?
All because of a woman like her?
Emotions like that are fleeting.
Money, power, and companies
are what last to be passed down.
Think wisely!
I'll handle the investigation.
-Is that her?
-Yeah.
-It is her, right?
-That's her?
[employee 1] Yes, that's her.
She lied to get her position
on the Mother TF Team.
-What a fraud.
-How shameless.
I heard she's even spying on us.
-How shameless.
-The absolute nerve.
-[employee 1] She seduced the team leader.
-Look. It's her.
Why does she live like that?
[footsteps echoing]
[romantic music playing]
[Da-rim] You shouldn't be doing this.
People are staring.
[breathes deeply] I don't care.
I'm sorry.
Why would you be sorry?
What did the auditor say?
You must've been scared all alone.
[sighs] I felt so wronged,
but there was nothing I could say.
If I were him, I'd think I was guilty too.
They said I should stop working
and go home for now.
Don't worry too much.
I'll do whatever it takes
and take care of it all.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
-Well, I was right, wasn't I?
-[Ji-hye] Yeah.
It totally played out the way we expected.
[screams] This is so thrilling! [cackles]
Don't get too excited.
The climax has yet to come.
The climax?
[inhales deeply]
[inhales deeply] You worked hard.
[ominous music playing]
[Tae-yeong] Go Da-rim
and then, Gong Ji-hyeok.
[Ji-hye] Ms. Go.
Can we
talk for a moment?
I think we should prioritize
restoring the art hall's image
-that was damaged by the fire.
-Sure, go ahead.
We're thinking of "a new beginning"
as the theme for the next exhibition--
Sure, go ahead.
Ms. Yu.
-Ms. Yu?
-Go ahead.
Uh… [clears throat]
-Yes?
-[stutters] You seem very tired.
[scoffs] I'm fine. Please continue.
Well… How would you like us to proceed?
-Did you have fun today?
-Yes.
-What'd you do?
-We drew pictures.
But…
Did he already go home? Geez.
Ms. Han?
She looks like the pretty lady.
That's her mother.
Really?
Wait, Jun!
Hello.
My name is Kim Jun.
Huh?
Uh…
Oh, I see. Hello.
I hear you're the pretty lady's mom.
"Pretty lady"?
I'm best friends with her.
Is that so?
What are you doing?
What…
Can you give this to her?
This?
This too.
MILK
This too?
And make sure to tell her it's from Jun.
I'm sorry.
Kim Jun, I told you to stop doing this.
She isn't coming back.
Okay.
Why are you scolding the child?
He says he's best friends with Ha-yeong,
so why can't he give her a gift?
[whimsical music playing]
[stammers]
What am I even doing here? [grunts]
My goodness.
Goodness gracious.
But what brings you here?
Well…
I came to see some land.
It's just a hobby.
Since we ran into each other,
how about a cup of tea?
I'm hungry.
You are?
What do you want to eat?
[Seon-u] All right, let's eat.
The adult should have a bite first.
Here you go.
[stammers] All right.
Th-Thanks.
Good job.
Please feel free to have some
if you haven't eaten yet.
[stutters] Go on and eat.
What's wrong?
There's bread left.
Mmm!
Have some of this too.
-Chew thoroughly and eat slowly.
-Okay.
There are sausages, tomatoes,
and quail eggs.
[inhales deeply]
Mr. Kim.
Are you aware
that Ha-yeong has feelings for you?
You don't need to worry.
I can assure you
that Ms. Yu and I will never date.
[inhales sharply] Uh… [chuckles]
Well, life is full of surprises.
No.
I made sure to make that clear to Ms. Yu,
so you don't need to worry.
Ah! So that's why
she's such a mess right now.
Hold on.
You keep telling me not to worry.
Who's worried here?
You think I'm worried?
I didn't want to
make you worry needlessly.
Well, you're right about that.
I am worried.
Mr. Kim, you can't be so narrow-minded
if you want to survive
in this cruel world.
You need to be open-minded.
Ever heard of it?
-Pardon?
-[Mi-ok] You're still young.
You need to open your heart up
and date all sorts of people.
Why don't you like Ha-yeong?
Well, I didn't mean
that I particularly disliked her…
By any chance,
do you dislike chaebol families?
Do you not like money?
Are you repulsed by the idea of a woman
buying you a house and a car,
and paying for trips abroad every season?
Does the idea of living in a great house
while never worrying about money
just make your skin crawl?
-Ms. Han.
-Yes?
I know Ha-yeong
has a pure heart with a kind soul.
That's why.
I mean… [inhales deeply]
That's more reason
for her to find someone who can
truly love her more than I ever can.
[sad music playing]
I'm not ready
to let someone into my life just yet.
I'm sorry.
[pensive music playing]
[Gyeong-min] Ji-hyeok.
[exhales sharply] I checked with security,
and the day the email was sent
from Da-rim's computer--
-The security cameras were down, huh?
-Oh. How'd you know?
What about the recipient's email account?
Here.
But the thing is,
the account has already been deleted.
Okay. First, have the investigation agency
search for social media accounts
with similar usernames
that belong to Koreans aged 30 or older,
who have been photographed
near MomsJoy's registered address.
Got it. Koreans aged 30 or older.
Have them gather all posts tagged
"MomsJoy" and cross-check them
with the compiled list of usernames.
Also, have them check
all the accounts that commented
-on MomsJoy's official accounts.
-I'll have them start immediately.
[upbeat music playing]
GONG JI-HYE, YU TAE-YEONG
Just wait and see.
I'll expose you all,
even if I have to go
to the ends of the earth.
[auditor] How much longer
are you going to hold out?
Ms. Go Da-rim!
That's enough.
We're investigating internally
to uncover the truth.
Let's postpone the interview
for a few days.
[auditor] You're looking
to uncover the truth?
She was employed through fake credentials
and even secretly dated
her immediate supervisor.
Are there more truths
that need to be uncovered?
Ms. Go Da-rim.
Just confess to it now,
and stop making everyone's life hard.
[Ji-hyeok] That has nothing to do
with the leak.
You can't accuse her like this
based on one email--
He's right.
I did it.
[melancholy music playing]
I was the one who leaked the new product
to a competitor.
-Da-rim.
-I did it alone.
Mr. Gong and the team members
knew nothing about it.
What are you saying right now?
Can we have a moment to talk alone?
[Da-rim] No.
I'd rather speak to you alone
without Mr. Gong present.
[auditor] She wants to speak to me alone.
Follow me.
[footsteps echoing]
[Ji-hye] Of course, I believe you.
I know how hard you've worked until now.
Ji-hyeok also told me
about how you had no choice
but to lie about your identity.
It must've been so tough.
I appreciate it.
[Ji-hye] But what can we do?
All the evidence just happens
to point to you as the culprit.
I know very well
what kind of person you are,
but the shareholders don't.
The shareholders?
Ah. There will be
a shareholders' meeting soon.
The original plan
was to have Ji-hyeok be promoted
to vice president then.
It's basically a successor announcement.
[breathes deeply]
It's unfortunate that something like this
had to happen
at such a crucial moment.
Could Mr. Gong
be negatively affected by this?
[Ji-hye] Very much so.
As the successor, he must be
the most impartial and level-headed.
But he knowingly overlooked
a team member's fraudulent hiring.
He covered for a corporate spy
out of personal feelings.
Or…
did the two of them conspire
to leak company secrets?
Forget vice president.
He'd be immediately dismissed
from his current position.
I'm really sorry,
but you're the only one who can stop this.
How can I stop it?
You just need to
take the fall for everything.
Are you suggesting
I make a false confession?
-Even so, that seems a bit--
-Think about it.
If the investigation drags on,
Ji-hyeok would escalate things
just to protect you.
His reputation in the industry
will plummet the more he keeps doing that.
Even if he goes back to consulting,
who would hire someone
fired by his own father's company
for corruption?
Not to mention,
if you deny it until the end,
knowing the chairman's personality,
he'll tear apart the Mother TF Team.
Even if there's no evidence,
suspicion alone is enough for him
to fire the whole team.
They're just interns
at the end of the day.
Why would he go after the team?
They all worked really hard
in hopes of becoming full-time.
[Ji-hye] Exactly.
You're leaving soon anyway.
For the sake of Ji-hyeok
and the rest of the team members,
could you
help them out a little?
[auditor] Ms. Go.
You just need to review this

We wrote down exactly what you said.
2. FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES
3. ADMISSION AND REFLECTION
STATEMENT BY: GO DA-RIM
You made the right choice.
Is Da-rim still being questioned?
I hope she'll be okay.
Of course, she'll be fine.
She did make a mistake,
but to call her a spy…
That's nonsense.
Damn it.
The chairman just slapped her
out of nowhere.
As soon as her innocence is proven,
I'll go to that chairman or whatever
and give him a piece of my mind.
Seriously, what are we going to do
with our stay-at-home moms?
She was clearly a spy.
You coddled her
without knowing who she really was.
Serves you right.
Who are you calling a spy?
Da-rim would never do such a thing!
[laughs]
Goodness me, that's why
you were stabbed in the back.
Anyway, just know that the company
took a major blow because of her.
You all need to take responsibility
for this too!
-[slams table]
-[Nan-suk] Oh!
Responsibility?
We'll take responsibility.
But what if she's innocent?
If she is, will you take responsibility?
What did you say? [scoffs]
Sure, I'll take responsibility.
How dare an intern
glare at a team leader like that?
Glaring?
My eyes are just naturally like this.
-Yes, her eyes are always like that.
-That's right.
-You're insulting her appearance.
-What?
-Yeah.
-That's sexual harassment!
-Yeah!
-Sexual harassment!
-Fine.
-Unbelievable.
-Let's end this today!
-What's wrong with you?
-You should watch what you say!
-No way.
Go Da-rim confessed.
What was that?
Aw.
[Ha-yeong] Mom.
Hey, Ha-yeong.
What are you up to?
-I was just sitting here. Why?
-[Ha-yeong] Listen.
I want to go to the US.
Sure. A trip might do you some good.
No.
I want to study abroad.
I want to get that degree I never got.
I'll get married later.
Then what about Mr. Kim?
You're giving up?
He seemed like a good guy
when I talked to him.
You met with him?
What now?
How did you harass him this time?
I didn't harass him.
You were sulking around all day,
so I just went to see him to find out
if something had happened between you two.
Why would you do that?
[sighs] Forget it.
Pursuing him when he doesn't like me
will only make his life harder.
I'm leaving
to forget about Mr. Kim.
I'll get ready to go back to school.
[gentle music playing]
[stammers] But…
you should take this with you.
He wanted you to have it.
This too.
[chuckles]
[Ha-yeong] Jun.
Did you know?
I had more fun
at your talent show
than I've ever had at any party.
[inaudible]
[chairperson] I've never liked
Gong Ji-hyeok from the start.
He just came out of nowhere
with that useless CSR initiative
and tree planting nonsense.
-[scoffs]
-[Ma] You're right.
It was a project
Executive Director Kim In-ae used to lead.
So if Mr. Gong becomes the successor,
he's bound to
bring back her people, no?
Then what does that mean for us?
Ji-hyeok's biggest supporter
is none other than Chairman Gong.
As long as he's in power,
Ji-hyeok will do
what he must to get rid of me
and all of you as well.
[all gasp]
What? He's going to clean house?
Who does he think grew this company
to what it is now?
[Ma] Absolutely.
This is just pure nonsense.
Then should we strike first
before he gets a chance to attack us?
After all,
the shareholders' meeting
is right around the corner.
How about we bring forth
a motion to dismiss the chairman then?
-A motion to dismiss him?
-Dismissal? Is that even possible?
-[chairperson 2] That might be pushing it.
-[chairperson 3] Right?
[chairperson 4] For such a motion to pass,
you'd need the approval
of at least two-thirds
of the shareholders present at the meeting
and at least one-third
of the total issued shares.
You have more than enough here to pass
the attending shareholder vote,
but securing one-third
of the total shares will be a challenge.
[chairperson 5]
The recent paid-in capital increase
led to more foreign investors
and minor shareholders.
Getting them on board won't be easy.
[Tae-yeong] My goodness.
Hello.
[suspenseful music playing]
You all seem rather concerned.
Please allow me to explain that to you.
[automated voice] You will be redirected
to voicemail,
and charges will apply after the beep.
She's not picking up, is she?
Her phone's turned off.
I mean, she should loop us in
so we can protect her or fight for her.
She must have her reasons.
Should we just go to her place?
Her address should be
in her personnel file.
-I'll go with you.
-[Jin-hui] Me too.
No, just give her some space.
If a visit were to solve all this,
she would've already told us everything.
-She just needs time.
-[sighs]
[door opens]
[Myeong-sun] Da-rim.
Mr. Gong… I mean, Ji-hyeok's here.
Don't let him in.
[Da-rim] That's right.
I did it.
I had to quit after this project,
but I didn't get a single callback
from any company.
And their terms weren't bad.
They offered a lot of money and a job.
-You're lying.
-I'm not lying.
I really did it.
You'd never do such a thing.
[Da-rim] Did you forget who I was?
I didn't hesitate to lie about being a mom
just to get a job and make money.
No.
The Da-rim I know…
would stop arguing on the street
to help a stranger pick up tangerines
off the ground
and gladly throw herself to save the child
of someone who harassed her.
She'd jump into a pool
to save her teammates' jobs
when she can't even swim.
She even jumped into a fire to save me.
So how am I supposed to believe that?
If you're doing this for my sake,
you don't need to.
As long as I have you--
[Da-rim] Let's…
break up.
[Ji-hyeok] Don't do this.
You have me.
Why do you insist on suffering alone?
Just trust me and--
I'm suffering because of you.
Do you not get it?
Listen.
If it weren't for you,
I would've lived a quiet, uneventful life.
But because I got involved with you,
I was constantly anxious
and had to walk on eggshells,
and now, everyone knows
I lied to get that job.
[exhales sharply] I know.
I brought this on myself.
I'm getting punished for acting out
without knowing my place.
But having to show myself in this state
to you and the rest of the team
is so degrading and humiliating.
That's what I find even more unbearable.
So…
let's just end things here.
Let's each go back to where we belong.
Da-rim.
This is me…
at rock bottom.
[sniffles]
[sobs]
[sniffles]
[Myeong-sun] Da-rim.
Wake up, Da-rim.
What are you doing?
You should be getting ready for work.
Wake up, my little princess.
Mom.
[gasps]
What were you thinking?
How could you do that?
I didn't have any other option.
The bank said they'd take the house
if I didn't pay back the loan.
I had to pay the hospital bills
and Da-jeong's private loan.
Part-time jobs wouldn't have covered them.
I know it was wrong…
but I had no other choice.
Even so.
[stammers] How could you lie
about something like that for a job?
[breathes deeply]
What did Mr. Gong say?
I told him we should break up.
He knew I lied
and still covered for me,
and now he's in a tight spot.
[Myeong-sun breathing heavily]
Mom.
You don't need to worry.
I'll pull myself together
and find a job.
You just focus on staying healthy, okay?
Let's sell the house.
Sell this house and pay off the debt.
Mom.
What are you talking about?
Even if we sell this house,
we'll have nothing left
after we pay back Seon-u's deposit.
And this house
isn't something we can just sell off.
It's filled with the memories Dad left us.
Who cares about any of that?
I didn't even know
you were living through that hell.
You must have suffered so much,
having to carry all that burden alone.
I'm…
really sorry.
I'm sure your dad
would want us to do the same.
Mom.
[Myeong-sun] It's settled.
Let's take care of everything
and head to your aunt's place
in the countryside.
You need to recharge as well.
You can't…
keep going like this.
[Da-rim crying, wailing]
[Da-rim] Let's…
break up.
I'm suffering because of you.
This is me…
at rock bottom.
[gentle music playing]
Nice and bright, right? [laughs]
Based on the parameters you provided,
they managed to narrow it down
to this guy.
Nam Su-yong, the manager
of the strategy team at MomsJoy.
They tailed him for three days,
and they caught him
in a suspicious interaction.
This one.
Found you.
Da-rim!
Da-rim!
DA-RIM
The caller you are trying to reach
is unavailable.
You will be redirected to voicemail
after the beep.
[Ji-hyeok] Please, Mr. Kim.
You must know where Da-rim is right now.
I do,
of course.
We can clear her name.
We have evidence.
If I can just explain it to her--
How can I trust you?
I heard you two broke up.
I have nothing more to say,
so please leave.
I didn't agree to breaking up.
Listen, Mr. Gong.
-Your father was the one--
-Exactly.
That's why I'm here to protect her.
So that no one can ever
lay a finger on her again.
I'm going to protect her.
Snack time!
Come eat!
All right!
Coming.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
They sell radish water kimchi to go?
Yeah.
It's really popular in this town.
It goes so well with sweet potatoes.
-Try it.
-They're cooked well.
So how's working at the orchard?
It's hard, isn't it?
Not at all.
-I think I picked more than you, Uncle.
-[chuckling]
You're so lucky
to have a daughter like her.
She's so quick and witty.
Gyu-cheol is also dependable.
Are you talking about
that unhelpful son of ours? [chuckles]
I'd ask for nothing more if only he could
be the tiniest bit like Sang-sik.
Sang-sik?
-The village head's son?
-Yes.
Oh.
Sang-sik was the one
who came up with this.
He's the best our village has to offer.
He'll be here tomorrow.
You should say hi.
He's still single, you know. [chuckles]
You're single too, right?
Well,
I guess I am.
[sighs]
[grunting]
MR. GONG
[chuckles]
[groans]
[sniffles, sighs]
[Da-rim]
To account for sweating in the summer,
we can use some sort of mesh fabric.
How about making it with mesh fabric
and detachable?
Two options for summer and winter.
That could work.
I can talk
to the development team tomorrow.
[Ji-hyeok] I'm going home first.
I'm really leaving.
I don't know why hearing you
tell me to go home makes me so sad.
Can't you stop me and make me stay?
I'm going home first.
I'm really leaving.
[Ji-hyeok scoffs]
I don't know why hearing you
tell me to go home makes me so sad.
Can't you stop me and make me stay?
I just want to
chat and laugh with you every day.
[Da-rim grunts]
Can you wait for me?
As soon as my mom's stuff gets sorted out…
I'm going to propose to you.
I love you, Go Da-rim.
[sobbing]
Am I at the right place?
-[clattering]
-[mutters, grunting]
BOK-SIL
Who are you?
-Wait.
-Tell me.
How dare you sneak in here, you thief!
Wait!
-Please calm down and hear me out.
-What?
Why would I listen to a thief?
You damn thief!
You're dead meat today.
You're so dead.
Come here.
-What's going on?
-Are you okay?
-Who's that?
-[uncle] You're dead meat.
I'm going to end you.
Ji-hyeok?
Da-rim.
What the…
You know him?
What are you doing here?
Gi-chan. You can stop now.
He's not a thief.
He's Da-rim's boss.
What brings you here
in the middle of the night? [chuckles]
Uh… Allow me to introduce myself.
-I'm Gong Ji-hyeok.
-Hello.
I knew it was rude to come without notice,
but I had something to discuss
with Da-rim.
-Please forgive me.
-No, it's fine.
If you know it was rude to do,
you should leave.
I'm sorry for disturbing you two.
But still, he came all this way.
[chuckles]
No, I have nothing to say to him.
You should head back now.
I just need a second.
I rushed over here.
[echoing] I didn't even have time to eat!
[Myeong-ja] What?
You didn't eat yet?
That's right.
Oh dear.
[Myeong-ja] My goodness, I feel terrible.
I didn't have time to prepare,
so I was only able to put together
a few side dishes.
This is a feast.
Thank you so much.
Take your time and eat up.
I will.
Oh.
Go on.
[breathes shakily, coughs]
[Da-rim] Uh…
He's going to get indigestion.
You should go to your rooms
so he can eat and leave.
Right, of course.
We should let him eat in peace. Let's go.
-Should we?
-[Myeong-sun] Yeah, let's go.
No, you don't need to.
I actually love it
when people watch me eat.
It makes the food tastier
and helps with digestion.
Please continue watching me.
Don't go anywhere.
Sit down.
Watch him eat.
[slurps]
Oh…
This is so good. [chuckles]
It's nice to see you enjoy it.
Anyway, what brings you all the way here
this late at night?
By any chance, are you and Da-rim
together or something?
-Yes, we are--
-[Da-rim] No.
We're not anymore.
[Gi-chan] What?
So he's a former boyfriend?
Ex-boyfriend?
All right then. We're all good. [chuckles]
What do you mean?
Well, Sang-sik asked
if you had a boyfriend,
so I told him you didn't.
This could've turned out very badly.
Sang-sik?
[Gi-chan] Kim Sang-sik.
He has always taken
such great care of my niece
ever since they were little kids.
When Da-rim wanted persimmons,
he climbed up the tree,
but he ended up falling.
He even cracked his head open.
That's why Da-rim promised him
that she'd take care of him forever,
remember?
[all laughing]
You remember, right, Myeong-sun?
-Take care forever?
-We were just kids back then.
Come on now.
We laughed it off back then,
but I think they'd make a cute couple.
-Of course!
-Yeah!
I doubt that.
Do you know Sang-sik?
Well, no, I don't.
[clears throat]
I'm…
not her ex-boyfriend.
I'm her current boyfriend.
-What?
-What?
I came to take Da-rim back to Seoul.
[Gi-chan] Hold on.
You're going back?
No, no.
Don't go back.
-Just marry Sang-sik and settle down here.
-[Myeong-sun] Stop it.
He's the youth association chairman,
he has a lot of land
and his family farm to inherit.
He has a bright future ahead.
He's also a former UDT soldier.
I, too, served in the Republic of Korea
Army and was discharged as a sergeant.
-You did?
-Yes.
Good for you.
Finish the rest of your meal.
-Pardon?
-Eat up.
Okay.
[Myeong-sun] Take your time.
-You should go back--
-Take a look at this.
Okay.
The man I saw at the exhibition fire
was seen meeting
with a representative from MomsJoy.
It means
both incidents were deliberately planned
by the same person.
Who would do that?
Why would they take it this far?
They framed you to get rid of me.
They knew you were my weakness.
I'm sorry. I had no idea.
I thought this would be the best option.
You were just caught in the crossfire
because of me.
I should be sorry.
Once this man is caught,
your name
will be cleared.
So take it back.
What do you mean?
The breakup.
Take it back now.
You just said I was your weakness.
If I stay by your side,
I'll only make you weaker
as your weakness.
Do you still not get it?
I grow weaker when we're apart.
I'm on the verge of collapsing right now,
so take it back.
Take it back…
and say you'll come back to Seoul with me.
I won't leave until you do.
Whatever.
-Hold on. My mom is here too.
-I'm not leaving.
-Housing would still be an issue.
-Whatever.
Why are you taking your socks off?
[Gi-chan clears throat]
Are you still talking?
No, we're done.
[door opens]
We have to get up early for farmwork.
Let's get to bed.
-Let me.
-It's fine. I'll do it.
Da-rim, you can sleep here.
Mr. Gong, you can sleep with me
in the living room.
It'll be nice and cozy.
Wait, sir, we're sleeping together?
What, are you going to sleep with Bok-sil
in the yard?
-Bok-sil's house is small.
-Good night.
Good night.
Go and sleep.
-Hurry up, let's go to sleep.
-Yes, sir. Coming.
[Da-rim] Good night.
[Gi-chan] Mr. Gong.
Hello?
You slept enough. You should get up now.
We have so much work to do today.
Hello?
Mr. Gong.
[groans]
Fine. Keep sleeping.
Sleep the day away.
I wanted to see if you were strong enough
to be a good fit for my niece,
but I guess not.
I knew Sang-sik was the one.
[grunts] It's already morning?
Where should I start?
Just tell me what to do.
Gosh, he ate the most at breakfast,
but he's as weak as can be.
Move it already!
-[chuckling]
-[grunting] Sorry, sir.
-It's my first time farming.
-Oh gosh.
Oh no. He picked all the unripe ones.
-Sorry?
-Jeez.
But the sir here said
these were ripe enough to be picked.
There you go again.
Why do you keep calling me "sir"
like I'm some old man?
I'm not even 60 yet, okay?
Look carefully. Look.
[Sang-sik] Gi-chan!
-What in the world is that?
-[engine revving]
SANG-SIK'S MUSIC
My goodness, the weather's spectacular.
Hey, Gi-chan. Have you been well?
Yeah.
Did you hear that?
My gosh. Welcome, Sang-sik.
-[chuckles]
-Did your training go well?
Yes, all thanks to you.
Goodness me. You've become even prettier
over a few days, Myeong-ja.
Is it that obvious?
[both laughing]
Did you already start harvesting?
Jeez, I told you to wait for me.
What's the point of lounging around?
We have my sister-in-law
and Da-rim visiting from Seoul.
They were helping out.
[Da-rim] Sang-sik.
It's been forever.
My aunt and uncle told me
how successful you've become.
Gosh, I'm flattered.
Have you been well?
Why haven't you come to visit
all this time?
I missed you so much.
I was too busy making a living.
It's so nice to see you.
Ah.
Since you're here,
you should stay a while.
We can hang out
-like we used to when we were kids.
-Uh… sounds good.
[Ji-hyeok] Excuse me.
Da-rim is going back to Seoul with me.
Who are you?
-I'm…
-[Gi-chan] Her former boyfriend.
The ex-boyfriend. [chuckles]
It seems like Da-rim's over him,
but I don't know
why he came all this way to be clingy.
[Sang-sik] Uh-huh…
I mean, it makes sense.
I understand.
You won't find a better woman
than my Da-rim.
That's why
I still can't forget about her.
Gosh, why would you joke around like that?
[laughing]
[scoffs]
"My" Da-rim?
-Da-rim.
-Yeah?
I'll buy you lots of delicious food.
I've made a lot of money.
You know?
[chuckles]
Come on. Stop that already.
[scoffing]
[Sang-sik] What's with him?
Ji-hyeok, you shouldn't cut the branches.
You need to cut it closer to the stem.
Yes, a bit lower.
-[Sang-sik clears throat]
-[Da-rim] Hmm?
[Ji-hyeok gasps]
[Da-rim exclaims]
That's amazing.
[panting]
Are you okay?
[Sang-sik] Jeez. Hurry it up already.
-[grunts]
-[Da-rim] Um…
Let me.
I'm fine.
Go on.
Okay.
There we go.
We don't want to damage
that fine skin of yours.
[Da-rim] Thanks.
You just relax and enjoy this ice cream.
I'll take care of everything else.
[Da-rim chuckles]
[Sang-sik] Come on, it's going to melt.
[grunts]
Oh! Ji-hyeok, are you okay?
Are you okay? Oh no.
Are you okay?
Are you?
-[chuckles]
-That's a relief.
[chuckles] You must be tired.
Here we go.
[grunting]
So why would you even think
you stood a chance against him
when you've never even been on a farm?
That's the wrong spot.
What? Really?
A bit further up.
Okay, hold. Further up.
-No, further up.
-Here?
No, further up.
-Where?
-A bit more.
No, further up.
-I don't think--
-More.
[grunts]
How can you be joking around right now?
I didn't like the way he looked at you,
and everyone was praising him.
I wanted to look cool too,
but nothing was going my way.
I rushed because I felt anxious.
Even so,
did you think I'd call you manly
for being good at farmwork?
Did you think I'd be impressed
if I saw you push yourself
to the point of injury?
You're unbelievable.
Why are you smiling?
I like it.
What?
Thank you for nagging me.
It means you're worried about me.
As if. When did I worry about you?
I'm here
because I want to hear you nag
for the rest of my life.
I missed you so much.
I love you.
-Unbelievable.
-I missed you.
Seriously.
Are you okay?
It hurts.
Drive safely.
Just wait for a little longer.
I'll be sure to prove your innocence
and come back for you.
Mmm.
Oh, right.
This is a copy
of the voice notes I recorded
while working on the new product.
There are a lot of ideas on there
that were never used.
I thought
they might come in handy later on.
All right.
[Myeong-sun] Are you leaving?
Yes, I'll be heading back now.
I'm sorry for causing you distress.
Not at all.
You must've had a hard time
because of Da-rim.
I'm the one who's sorry.
Oh.
This is steamed corn and rice punch.
They're snacks for the road.
[gasps]
They're my favorites.
Oh.
They're still warm.
I figured you'd like them,
so I just steamed them.
Thank you. I'll be sure to enjoy them.
All right. Drive safely.
Get back safely.
[Da-rim chuckles]
My vote is for Ji-hyeok, not Sang-sik.
[gasps]
What? Why do you get to choose?
Then again, I'm on the same page.
Hey, Da-rim.
[chuckles]
I'll wrap things up and be on my way.
Bye.
[line clicks]
[Ji-hye] A major incident occurred
at Natural BeBe recently.
MOTHER TF EMPLOYEE GO DA-RIM
MARRIAGE STATUS: UNMARRIED
Team Leader Gong Ji-hyeok
had been romantically involved
with his subordinate,
and he overlooked the fact that
she lied to secure her position.
-Therefore…
-[crowd murmuring]
I'd like to request
a special vote concerning the dismissal
of Mother TF Team Leader Gong Ji-hyeok.
Please cast your votes now.
[mic feedback]
[person] It's Team Leader Gong.
["Romantic Rebel" playing]
DYNAMITE KISS
[music stops]
[gentle piano music playing]
[Gyeong-min] Now, let's get in there.
[Ji-heyok] That is to say,
today's special vote is null and void.
Neither you nor Chairman Gong
is qualified to run this company.
[Ji-hyeok] Yes, that's right.
There's someone else more qualified
to run this company.
It's her.
Did it go well?
[Ji-hyeok] I'm on my way to you.
It's all because of that bastard,
Gong Ji-hyeok.
[Da-rim] You're almost here, right?
Hello? Ji-hyeok? Ji-hyeok!
Ji-hyeok!
