Sun Holdings decided to invest...
in Shimmi Foods.
What?
Thanks to that,
Mr. Han is asking for double the price.
- Double? - Yes.
Why is Sun Holdings interested in Shimmi Foods?
I don't know.
I don't know why we keep clashing every single time.
It's almost as if he has a grudge...
against Yangji.
I know.
It's too strange to be a coincidence.
Guess what's even more shocking.
What?
The person in charge of the Shimmi Foods acquisition...
is Yoon Shi Wol.
I just don't get it.
They have financial problems.
Why are they trying to acquire Shimmi Foods now?
And Shi Wol, of all people.
Yoo Wol, why you...
I need your approval.
What's wrong?
What is it?
Yoo Wol just declared war against me.
He declared war?
He decided to invest in Shimmi Foods...
that I'm in charge of acquiring.
I thought we were proceeding discreetly.
How did he find out?
Do you think he has a mole in our company?
If not,
is he clairvoyant like Nostradamus or something?
This is no time for jokes.
My bad.
We must acquire Shimmi Foods, no matter what.
I won't forgive anyone who stops me,
even if that's Yoo Wol.
It's strange.
That's the only reasonable explanation.
- You wanted to see me, sir? - Yes.
Please investigate Mr. Oh...
of Sun Holdings.
Investigate Mr. Oh?
Yes. Find out everything about his private life...
that the public doesn't know about.
Private life?
His past.
Yes, sir.
Yangji is acquiring Shimmi Foods?
Shimmi Foods?
Do you want to acquire them?
No.
Then?
I'm contemplating how to get them back on their feet.
If you aren't going to acquire them,
why are you contemplating that?
I just have to.
Is it because of Yangji again?
Set Byul.
Let's go to Grandma.
Are you going to my mom?
That's right. I'll take Set Byul and go eat.
You should rest.
It must be tiring watching her all day.
Thank you.
Set Byul, have fun, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's go with Grandpa.
Okay.
Be careful.
Don't you worry.
Let's go.
He promised me...
that he wouldn't take revenge.
Is he still...
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Come again.
My gosh.
- Hey. - Grandma.
- They're so busy. - My gosh.
My puppy.
- Did you come to see Grandma? - Yes.
You're such a doll.
Why did you come out in this heat...
with Set Byul?
My gosh. Where will I get food if I stay home?
I need to hang around you so that I can get some food.
Hey. I heard you developed a new menu item.
Why don't you bring it out for us?
Okay. Fine.
Wait a minute, okay?
Grandma will make you something yummy.
- Okay. - You sweet thing you.
Look. It snowed.
Grandma, what is this?
This is cheese, which you love.
And this is cartilage.
Set Byul, you try this.
It looks delicious.
Here. Open your mouth.
Good girl.
How is it?
It's yummy.
- My gosh. - It is?
Hold on. Grandpa's going to try some too.
It's delicious.
This one will be a bit hit too.
Where's Duk Shil?
I told her I'd take Set Byul out...
so that she could take a rest.
Tae Yang adores her because she's his baby,
but why do you adore Set Byul so much?
What about you?
Why do you adore her?
Because she's my baby.
Exactly!
Tae Yang is my son. So naturally,
Set Byul is my granddaughter.
Is that right?
Then when you pass away,
will you leave all your money to Set Byul?
What?
Well, I...
You said she was your granddaughter.
Well... But...
Wait. Why would I die?
Then what? You won't?
I will not die.
Never.
That means you refuse to give your money to Set Byul.
I... I never said I refused.
Anyway, I will never die.
That's the same thing. You miser.
Why do you suddenly want to invest in Shimmi Foods?
Is it because of Yangji again?
It's not.
Then why?
It'll take at least three years to get a return on the investment.
This isn't charity.
Why are we investing in them?
That's right, the investment in Shimmi Foods...
wasn't a financial decision.
Then...
is it for revenge?
To mess with Yangji again?
I told you that's not it.
Then what?
He wants to repay Shimmi Foods.
What do you mean?
What? Sun Holdings?
Yes.
What is wrong with that punk?
I know.
He caused us a huge loss with Yangji Construction.
Now, even Shimmi Foods.
I can't understand him.
Is it Mi Ran?
Now that Sun Holdings has entered the equation,
Tae Joon,
you should get involved yourself.
It'll be a messy fight.
How could Shi Wol handle that?
No, sir. I'll do it.
You can't underestimate Mr. Oh.
This is too much for you to handle.
I know.
But I'll still do it.
We will not lose to him again.
Please have faith in me.
Fine.
Then give it a shot.
Yes, sir.
It's too much for you.
I'll do it.
Forget it.
Anyway,
why haven't I seen Kwang Il at all today?
I think he's tired.
He's resting in the room.
Tired?
It's not like he did anything.
Are you saying there are no records before 2001?
Yes. I found information on him from 2001...
when he worked at Goldman Sachs.
However, I couldn't find anything from before then.
How is that possible?
He grew up with a reclusive family...
in Vermont where there aren't many Koreans.
He was home-schooled, so there's nothing else...
known about him.
The only school he attended was Harvard,
but he couldn't adapt, so he withdrew after one semester.
A recluse who lived like that...
turned into a completely different person after joining Goldman Sachs.
Yes.
Mr. Oh said he was in Korea for a few years in the late 90s.
The late 90s?
Yes. He said he invested in some Internet ventures...
and took a huge loss as I did.
Find out what happened.
Yes, sir.
How is that possible?
What is his real identity?
Honey.
Hey.
Why are you so deep in thought?
I think Mr. Oh is a bit...
strange.
What do you mean?
I've thought this from before,
but he's very mysterious.
His past, I mean.
He has no past.
Why are you suddenly interested in his past?
I need to know my enemy...
so that I can fight him.
Come to think of it,
he was suspicious from the get-go.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Do you really not know him?
There's really nothing between you and Tae Yang, right?
Honey.
Nothing.
I was just thinking about something.
I heard you came to the office.
Yes.
Ki Joon told me.
Sorry. I should've told you sooner.
I know.
If you had told me,
I wouldn't have had the wrong idea.
I meant to tell you later.
Regardless, I'm sorry.
I understand. You always repay your debts.
But you know...
Don't do that anymore.
I'd like you to tell me everything.
Okay.
Since we're on the topic of the orphanage,
do you really not want to find your mom?
Why are you bringing that up again?
Set Byul asked...
why Daddy doesn't have a mommy...
when Mommy does.
There are always circumstances beyond a person's control.
Like my mom.
No.
I won't look for her.
Why not?
When I was little,
I told myself...
it must have been out of her control.
So I cried and begged the orphanage director...
to please tell me where my mom was.
But after becoming a parent myself,
I changed my mind.
In what way?
A parent who abandoned her child...
stopped being a parent at that very moment.
My mom too?
Sorry, I didn't mean your mom.
I disagree.
My mom did everything for me.
No parent abandons their child.
I'm sure it was out of her control.
I'm not talking about your mom.
If you won't do it, I'll find her.
And I'll prove you're wrong.
Why would you do that?
Because I want...
to understand my mom.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Why are you drinking alone?
Would you like to join me?
Did you and Duk Shil fight?
No. Why would we fight?
Have a seat.
Sure.
I haven't had a drink with you...
for a while.
This is nice.
I like it too.
Hey, what's wrong?
You look distressed.
Is something wrong at the company?
No.
Well... Mr. Hwang.
What?
About James Oh.
James Oh is you...
Not me.
The real James Oh.
Why are you suddenly bringing up someone who died?
You said he died when he came to Korea...
looking for his mom, right?
That's right.
The poor fellow.
Even after he was adopted,
he didn't receive love from his adoptive parents.
He came to Korea to find his birth mom...
and met an untimely death.
Do you think he found his birth mom...
before he died?
I wonder if that mom...
knows her son came to Korea to meet her...
and died an unnatural death.
Gosh.
Why are you laughing?
Do you know why he died?
Why did he die?
His birth mom...
ordered to kill her own son.
But why? He was her own son.
He traveled thousands of miles because he wanted to meet...
his mom who abandoned him.
How could his own mom kill him?
When that mom was a teenager,
she became pregnant...
because of a horrific incident.
James Oh was the baby...
born from that incident.
As soon as she had the baby,
her family sent him abroad to be adopted.
And...
she was happily married.
When the son who she had completely forgotten about suddenly showed up,
she was shocked.
Even so. How could she kill her own son?
They were a very wealthy family.
A household name.
So she was very happy.
She was afraid that the son would break up...
that happy family.
Those despicable monsters.
So that's why she erased all traces of James Oh.
To hide her past.
That's right.
That's what it's like to be abandoned by your parents.
Even if you disappear from this world,
no one looks for you. Just like me.
Regardless,
thanks to James Oh,
you were able to be reborn with a new identity.
If it hurts you that much,
why don't you...
remember him on the anniversary of his death?
The anniversary of his death?
(Oh Tae Yang)
From now on, I'll remember you.
Going somewhere?
Yes. Sorry, but watch Set Byul for me today.
I can't. I have plans today too.
Does it have to be today?
Yes, it has to be today.
What do I do?
I'll watch her, so don't worry.
- You will? - That's right.
Set Byul,
play with Grandpa, okay?
Okay.
See that?
We're close.
Okay, then. Thank you.
Set Byul, have fun with Grandpa.
Mommy will be back soon.
Okay.
I wonder what it is.
And what plans do you have?
It's none of your business.
(The Hope Children's Home)
So this is where Tae Yang grew up.
I'm sorry.
It's been too long. There's no way for us to find out.
Then may I get the contact information...
of people who worked here at the time?
I don't know.
He was smart and handsome,
so anyone who worked here would remember him for sure.
He received a scholarship from Shimmi Foods too.
There is one person, but she is out of the country right now.
Where is she now?
She used to be the director here.
She's doing charity work abroad.
This is what you can do.
She'll be returning soon,
so come back then.
Thank you.
Please let me know when the director comes.
- Please. - Okay.
Three months later.
Sure, I can wait.
Why does this place look so familiar?
You came again this year.
Yes.
Let's go.
It's ready.
It's my first time here, but it feels familiar.
I told you to stay home. Why did you come with me?
Because I'm bored.
I'm not here to play.
Then why are you here?
I told you I had a business to take care of,
that's why.
Exactly. What business?
Why do you care?
Stay here.
I'll go in and take care of business. I won't be long.
No! I want to go with you!
The kids here...
Don't come in.
You'll hurt their feelings.
Stay right here. Don't go anywhere.
Fine!
You brat. You and your temper.
I wonder what is in that bag.
Have you been well?
Yes.
May I try them on?
Sure.
Why is she crying?
How are they? Do they fit?
Yes, they're nice.
I wonder who he is.
That's why it felt familiar.
What a coincidence.
(The late Kim Yoo Wol)
Please forgive this sinner...
and please...
rest in peace.
Does your son-in-law, Mr. Oh,
know about us by any chance?
What?
I'm sure he doesn't, but just in case.
Are you insane? Why would he?
He really knows nothing, right?
Of course.
But why do you ask?
Why are you acting like you don't know?
He's trying to destroy Yangji right now.
Tae Yang?
What did Tae Yang do?
Forget it. Anyway, be careful.
Make sure he doesn't figure it out.
Do you even know what day today is?
It's the day Kim Yoo Wol died.
The man you killed. Kim Yoo Wol.
What?
Don't blame innocent Tae Yang.
If you have even an ounce of conscience,
wish that poor boy's happiness in the afterlife.
Although I'm sure you don't.
Why that...
Why today, of all days?
I hope lightning strikes him dead.
You're saying your older brother, the largest shareholder,
agreed to sell his shares to Yangji Group, is that it?
Yes.
He's the eldest,
so he inherited the most shares,
but my brother was never interested in running the company.
That's why I ran it instead.
But unfortunately,
I don't own very many shares.
This has become quite a headache now.
Please look into how many shares the executives...
and employees have excluding your brother.
I'll do that.
How many shares of Shimmi Foods does the company own?
It should be about five percent.
Buy those shares first.
Since the M and A deal with Yangji was made public,
it'll get harder to buy them.
Because of the M and A news,
the stock price will keep going up.
Don't be too discouraged.
We'll find a way.
You can't get in touch with Mr. Han?
It's not that we can't.
I think he's avoiding us.
Why is that?
He probably wants to make us anxious...
and increase the price.
He's probably betting on selling to Sun Holdings...
if we don't buy from him.
Keep contacting him. Tell him we want to meet.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you even know what day today is?
It's the day Kim Yoo Wol died.
The man you killed. Kim Yoo Wol.
Today is the anniversary of his death?
And she's been remembering that all these years?
Her? Why?
Gosh.
It's today.
I'm counting on you for this year's audit as well.
Sure.
It's in red in the ledger,
so you can just do exactly as it says.
As you must know, Yangji is facing...
the biggest crisis since the IMF crisis.
I know.
Please consider our long history together...
and go easy on us.
Fine. That's right.
I heard that you're acquiring Shimmi Foods.
Yes.
Will you be okay? You're having a financial problem.
That's why we're doing it.
I'll explain the details another time.
Sure, you do that.
It'll be a headache because of Sun Holdings,
but it'll work out.
Sun Holdings?
Are you up against Sun Holdings again?
Gosh.
Whenever I think about Oh Tae Yang of Sun Holdings,
I just feel ill.
Why are you laughing?
It's nothing.
Hearing the name Oh Tae Yang reminds me of someone, that's why.
Who?
Come to think of it,
he also made you ill.
His name was Kim Yoo Wol.
Do you remember the accountant?
Kim Yoo Wol?
He died in a car accident while auditing Yangji Group...
in 1997 during the IMF crisis.
He was a rookie accountant at Samjin.
Why are you suddenly bringing him up?
Every time I see Oh Tae Yang,
I'm reminded of Kim Yoo Wol.
What do you...
They look so alike.
When I first saw Oh Tae Yang on the news,
I was surprised.
I thought Kim Yoo Wol had come back from the dead.
They look alike?
Yes, other than lacking the scar on his forehead.
He was so handsome,
that it's impossible to forget his face.
Why Shimmi Foods?
You tell me. Why Shimmi Foods?
We decided to acquire them first.
You butted in afterward.
Butted in?
Why would I?
What else would you call it?
Why do you keep showing up and messing things up?
Are you still trying to get revenge on me?
You got the happy family you've always wanted.
Isn't that enough?
Don't jump to conclusions.
I'm not doing this because of you.
Then why?
Why are you doing this?
Oh Tae Yang looks like Kim Yoo Wol?
What is this all about?
You've become corrupted.
What?
From the day you married into the Yangji family,
you became corrupted.
How could you do this to me?
(Kim Yoo Wol)
How could you marry into the Yangji family that killed me?
How could I forgive you?
Would you be able to if you were me?
(A Place in the Sun)
I'll hate you until the moment I die.
Fine, hate me.
Hate me until the moment you die.
Mr. Choi asked me to look into Oh Tae Yang as well.
Does Kwang Il know about Kim Yoo Wol?
It must be a coincidence.
There are plenty of people who look alike.
Are you saying you'll dump the company?
You should stay out of it.
No. I'll do it.
I'm begging you. Back off.
How can I trust Yangji?
I knew there was something between those two.
It'll be trouble if Yoo Wol's fake identity is revealed.
What now?
