(Episode 21)
Yoo Wol.
What's wrong?
Yoo Wol.
Shi Wol.
I've missed you.
Hey.
Why are you still up?
I'm waiting for the kids.
They're not back yet?
No.
I'm sure they'll be back soon.
Don't worry. Go to sleep.
Neither of them are answering their phones.
Neither of them?
He's not picking up.
She isn't either.
Do you think something happened?
Are they...
What? Do you know what's going on?
No.
I'm sure they'll come home eventually.
Okay, then. Good night.
What?
What's with her?
I'm sure they're together.
I hope something happens.
Duk Shil,
get married this year. Please?
Did you drink?
I had a work dinner.
You should go up.
I'll explain to the elders.
Thank you.
I've never seen her like that.
I wonder what's wrong.
Are you drunk?
Because of me?
I'm sorry.
Will you really tell them?
Will you tell Grandfather and Mother...
about who your real father is?
I can't live like my dad.
I don't want to live like a sinner, in anxiety for the rest of my life.
It scares me.
Go ahead then.
Really?
Do you mean it?
Let's get a divorce.
You do as you wish,
and let's get a divorce.
What happened?
I know.
Blame it on the alcohol.
I'll go first.
Shi Wol.
Just who is that Shi Wol person?
Honey, did you mean what you said last night?
I know you were drunk, but how could you bring up divorce?
You're doing this...
in case I don't become chairman, aren't you?
You don't care whether or not I die.
You just want to shut me up.
If anyone tells them the truth, it'll be me.
Not you, but me.
It's for Ji Min?
Don't make me laugh.
It's for your ambition.
The moment you confess that hideous truth,
my son Ji Min will be hurt.
Say something.
Don't just look at me.
That's right.
I married you because of my ambition.
You knew that as well.
You asked me to go with you to Italy, right?
I'll go to Italy.
Why all of a sudden?
I want to go to Italy and change my life.
With you.
But now, you'll throw everything away?
What about me?
You'll be exonerated for being honorable and confessing,
but my dream will be shattered,
and Ji Min will have his wings clipped...
before he could even fly.
Then...
did you mean it when you said...
you'd divorce me?
Yes.
So choose.
Will it be your conscience or Ji Min?
Decide.
We really didn't know!
I swear, Father!
Who let her in?
I said they were banned!
She let herself in with her key. We couldn't stop her.
How could you doubt our devotion to the family?
It's unfair.
I'm so upset, Father!
Tell her to leave!
We really had no idea our in-laws would do that!
I swear we didn't scheme with them.
Please believe me, Father!
- Please get up. - Darn it.
I need to see my father.
Not today.
Please go home for today.
Please.
Jung Hee, it's a misunderstanding. My intention was...
Jung Hee.
We considered it giving alms and let you into this family.
Is this how you repay us?
What? Repay you?
Father was adamantly against it,
but my late mother insisted on adding you to the family registry.
She said you needed our last name to live like a decent human being.
You should've been grateful and lived a quiet life.
How dare you destroy my family...
and rebel against Father?
Who do you think you are?
You're so mean!
I did it for you and Kwang Il!
Shut it.
Don't make me laugh. Get out.
The sight of you makes me sick.
You're finally showing your true colors.
I destroyed your family?
Wasn't it a sand castle that was bound to fall anyway?
What?
Did you ever even love Tae Joon?
All I did was set things right.
Don't blame me for tearing your family apart.
Please stop. The chairman will hear you.
Repay you?
It's the decent thing to do to put his child in his registry!
I should be grateful and live quietly?
He should've just killed me!
Why did he bring me into this world...
just to stifle me?
How can I live that way?
Quiet!
Get rid of her right now!
Father.
You were right.
I should never have let your mom give birth to you.
I should've done whatever it took...
to make sure you were never born.
If I had...
Fine.
I'm sorry I was ever born.
I've committed a grave sin by being alive.
Darn it.
My head.
- Bring me some medicine. - Yes, sir.
Your mom...
is sick in bed ever since she went to see your grandfather.
He's so mean.
Poor Mom.
I'm not family,
but I thought he'd treat you differently since you're blood.
But I was wrong.
What do you mean?
Min Jae, you should take Daesong's side...
from now on.
You want me to take Ji Eun's family's side?
That's right. Discreetly help your father-in-law...
win the bid for the acquisition.
If Grandfather finds out, I'm dead.
He no longer treats our family like we're his children.
Don't you see that?
Are you telling me to become enemies...
with the entire family?
That's right.
He doesn't care about us anyway.
Let's stop begging him for affection.
Where's Tae Yang?
He's visiting a company.
When will he be back?
It's in the suburbs, so it'll be a while.
What is all of this?
Business plans from companies.
Why is he looking at so many all of a sudden?
Tae Yang is finally back.
He'll probably pull...
several all-nighters to finish reviewing all of them.
The annual sales...
is about 2.4 million dollars...
It went up a lot.
Yes, sir.
Here's the money I made this month.
How long must I be your personal safe?
What? You don't want to?
Why don't you put it in a bank now?
No.
Don't complain.
Bury it there.
What if something happens and you pass away?
What will you do with all that money?
Goodness.
I told you.
I'll take it with me to pay my way to the afterlife.
I really don't understand.
I'm the one who can't understand you.
You're so smart,
but you won't use it to make money. You hide in the mountain...
and only cultivate yourself.
Listen.
The thing about money is,
it's like salt water.
The more you drink it, the more of it you want.
Of course, someone like you who drinks only spring water...
may not understand.
What if...
I take off with all your money?
Many gangs borrow money from me.
If by chance that happens,
you can consider yourself dead that very day.
Yes, sir. Please don't kill me.
Where's Tae Yang?
He went out of town for work.
Whom were you with last night?
I drank with some college friends.
Friends? Who?
Why do you care?
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
She wasn't alone with Tae Yang?
Darn it.
What?
You won't get divorced?
We still need Tae Joon right now.
Look. Everything is a mess because he's gone.
Still, how can we take him back?
Not after what I did to kick him out.
Kwang Il isn't ready.
We were rash.
Still, we can't rely on him indefinitely.
He said he'd hand over all the shares he bought...
using borrowed names.
I think we misunderstood his good intentions.
Min Jae's family brought in Daesong.
We compete with them...
every time we start a new business as is.
We can't overlook this.
It's not like Daesong doesn't know about Sook Hee.
They may not consider us their in-laws.
Please bring Tae Joon back.
I've thought it over, and he's the only person...
who can fix this.
What brings you here?
I won't divorce your father.
He'll return as chairman. Your grandfather agreed.
So get your act together...
and win over the acquisition.
Mother.
Don't disappoint me anymore.
There's a limit to my patience as well.
What's this?
Did he work all night?
Why didn't you go home?
I have too much work.
What time is it?
It's a little past nine.
Go home and sleep.
No, it's okay.
Duk Shil took the day off.
Did you two fight?
Of course not.
Then why are you avoiding each other?
I'm not avoiding anyone.
You told me to snap out of it.
It's weird because it's so sudden.
I snap out of it and work, and you still complain.
I'm going to visit another company after hitting the sauna,
just so you know.
Did Duk Shil get rejected after telling him...
that she likes him?
Don't disappoint me anymore.
There's a limit to my patience as well.
Do whatever it takes...
to acquire Construction.
You'll be exonerated for being honorable and confessing,
but my dream will be shattered,
and Ji Min will have his wings clipped...
before he could even fly.
Then did you mean it when you said...
you'd divorce me?
Yes.
So choose.
Will it be your conscience or Ji Min?
Decide.
I'll do as you say.
I'll acquire Construction and become chairman. And...
I'll take...
my father's secret with me to my grave.
So...
don't you ever say...
you'll divorce me again.
Why didn't you insist on telling the truth?
Then I could've told the truth too,
and left you.
Welcome back, Mr. Chairman.
Let's go.
(Yangji Group)
Daesong, Haeseong Oh Fund JJ, and us.
The three were selected as candidates...
for acquiring Yangji Construction.
How much will it cost?
To acquire the bank's 51 percent of Yangji Construction's shares...
and management rights,
it'll be about 1.5 billion dollars for the shares...
and an additional premium for management rights...
for a total of about two billion dollars.
Two billion dollars.
Call Kwang Il in.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for changing your mind.
I'm sure it'll be hard, but...
Why did you want to see me?
To discuss the acquisition.
Our biggest problem right now is money.
The acquisition funds.
You must do whatever it takes...
to win over Sun Holdings.
Persuade Mr. Oh.
That's the only way you'll succeed.
He's still the same.
He hasn't changed one bit.
Grandpa!
Hi, Ji Min.
Hi.
Did you finish what you were working on?
Yes. I finished quickly so that I could see you.
You're not sad anymore, right?
Of course not. I'm not sad at all...
because I have you.
Okay. Shall we go in?
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's go.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Hello.
You should greet the chairman first.
Sure.
Don't worry too much.
The land becomes harder after it rains.
No parent can win against their child.
Jung Hee refused to get a divorce.
She refused to back down.
When I think about what you did to me,
my blood still boils, but I will...
look the other way...
and forgive you...
just this once.
If you mess with my money ever again,
I promise you...
there will be no mercy.
I understand, sir.
Welcome back.
I'm sorry.
I have no excuse. I'm sorry.
I'll let you rest.
Thank you.
I heard you refused to divorce me.
- That's because... - Whatever the reason was,
thank you.
No need.
Should I tell them to draw you a bath?
No.
I'm going to sleep.
Okay, then.
Are you happy Chairman Choi is back?
I think oxtail soup would be good for dinner tonight.
He must have been under a lot of stress.
He doesn't look very well.
Chairman Jang said he wanted cold noodle soup.
Cold soup for dinner?
They say you should eat hot foods...
in the summer rather than cold foods.
I'll talk to my father.
Yes, ma'am. I'll tell them to prepare it.
The tea has a nice fragrance.
I'd like a cup as well.
Would you?
Yes?
Mr. Choi Kwang Il, the CEO of Yangji Logis is here to see you.
He wishes to see you.
What should I tell him?
Show him in.
Yes, sir.
What brings you here unannounced?
Please help me.
You said last time that you'd give up on the acquisition.
Why did you change your mind again?
I'm so embarrassed you had to see me that way.
I was going through some personal struggles...
and had completely lost it.
Personal struggles?
Well, it's very personal in nature, so I can't go into details.
I'm sorry. Please understand.
Sure, okay.
I'm not interested in other people's private lives.
However,
as an investor, I need to know about the company.
Here are our company's financial records and business report.
Please look them over and decide whether or not you'll invest.
My back.
Hey. Is Duk Shil sick?
She didn't go to work...
and hasn't left her room all day.
Gosh.
The anchovies are delicious.
Bring me some chili paste.
I want to eat this with some raspberry wine.
Why does an old man keep drinking raspberry wine?
I said to bring me chili paste!
Fine.
Wake up already.
You need to eat.
I don't want to. Leave me alone. Let me sleep.
Tell me the truth.
Something happened between you and Tae Yang, right?
No, it didn't.
Then why won't he come home?
And why didn't you go to work?
He's busy nowadays.
He's the CEO of a successful investment firm after all.
Even still, he should come home.
He's too busy to even come home.
That's how he always lived.
He practically lived at the office before he bought this house.
He did?
So nothing's wrong, right?
Nothing's wrong.
Do you think I was rejected or something?
Were you rejected?
Not a chance! If anything, I'd reject him.
She's such a nag.
I should move out.
I can't even sleep in peace.
She's so cool even from a woman's perspective.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you coming home from work?
Yes.
Thank you for the soy sauce gejang.
Thank you.
I'm grateful you enjoy it.
But you know,
you can stop sending them over.
Why?
The truth is, Mr. Oh can't eat soy sauce gejang.
He said it was good and ate a lot when he was over.
He felt bad since you made it for him...
and ate it out of respect.
I didn't know before,
but he has a shellfish allergy.
A shellfish allergy?
Yes. So you don't need to send them anymore.
Anyway, we got to enjoy it thanks to your generosity.
I'll let you go in. I was taking a walk.
Wait. Just a minute.
If you don't mind, may I walk with you?
My head was hurting all day long at home,
but walking is cheering me up.
I always walk like this when I'm stressed out...
or have a lot on my mind.
I feel like it helps me think.
Me too.
What's your relationship with Mr. Oh?
Seeing as you live together,
you must be very close.
That's right.
We are very close.
Shi Wol.
I always wondered...
what Yoon Shi Wol was like.
What do you mean?
(A Place in the Sun)
The first person he asked for...
was Yoon Shi Wol.
You really were alive.
- You don't need to make excuses. - Sorry.
Please stop apologizing.
It makes me feel more pathetic.
- Come over often. - Okay.
I told you to never show up in front of me again.
- Why are you back? - Are you busy?
I am, but I have time to play with you.
Do you like him that much?
We just get each other.
Why do you keep going over next door?
Because I like him.
