(Episode 48)
We have Set Byul.
As long as we have Set Byul,
he'll never go to you.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
Let's go.
A profound secret.
That's making me more curious.
You are so alike.
Me?
That's right.
With whom?
Someone I once knew.
And who is that?
Just someone.
Who could it be?
I sincerely hope what I think...
is not true.
If it is true,
calamity will befall us all.
- Daddy. - Set Byul.
Did you come to see Daddy?
Hello.
Hi.
Set Byul, say hi.
Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
Set Byul, you're so pretty.
I'll get going now.
Why? Eat with us.
No, I have something to do.
Enjoy your family time.
Get back safely.
Why did he rush off like that?
He isn't avoiding me, is he?
Of course not.
What's up?
I thought we could go out to eat together.
Is that okay?
Of course.
Still, must we do that to Ji Min?
He's Oh Tae Yang's son of all people.
Can you live with his son for the rest of your life?
I can't.
Every time I see Ji Min, he reminds me of Oh Tae Yang.
I can't stand it.
So send him away.
You want to send Ji Min to study abroad?
Yes.
That's so sudden.
It isn't.
We planned to send him during middle school anyway.
Kwang Il won't do that.
He'll be all alone if Ji Min goes.
He can't live without Shi Wol.
We'll send just Ji Min and keep Shi Wol here.
You want to send Ji Min alone?
We can't do that.
He's still too young.
Not unless he goes with his mom.
Why do you think Kwang Il has been struggling so much lately?
Why is that?
Shi Wol had a boyfriend in the past.
A past boyfriend?
Yes. But...
she still isn't over him.
So that's why Kwang Il...
Kwang Il tried to end his life because of her.
He was driving reckless in the middle of the night...
and caused that accident to kill himself.
You know...
how much he loves Shi Wol.
So? What do you plan to do?
I want to see how things go with them,
and if it looks like Kwang Il won't get better,
we should get them divorced or something.
So that's why you want to send Ji Min abroad to study.
Yes.
I want to get Ji Min away from his mom first.
That's best for him as well.
He'll see his parents grow apart more and more.
I can't watch Ji Min get sick as well.
That's why I need your help.
My help?
Shi Wol will never send Ji Min alone.
So I'd like you...
to resolve this matter for us.
How?
I told you. We must separate...
Ji Min from his mom.
You need to get involved...
so Ji Min can go alone.
What about after Ji Min leaves to study?
That's for Kwang Il to do.
All we can do right now...
is protect our grandson.
If Father finds out, things will get out of hand,
so let's handle it ourselves.
Okay?
Of course.
How could we let Father find out?
What do you think about studying abroad?
I want to go.
I told Mommy...
that I wanted to go soon.
Really? Good.
Then am I going to study abroad?
Yes.
- But Ji Min. - Yes?
You'll have to go alone.
Sorry, but Mommy can't go with you.
Mommy can't go?
Why not?
Mommy can't go with you because of work.
You know how good she is at her job.
So I'd like you to go alone.
You can do that, right?
Well...
You need to go happily...
so Mommy can work without worrying.
Okay.
You have to leave happily so Mommy won't be sad, okay?
Okay.
What do you need to say?
I need to talk to you about Ji Min.
Ji Min?
Yes.
What is it? Go ahead.
She can't forget her past boyfriend?
What about Kwang Il?
I was so good to her.
Shi Wol, how could you?
I'm home, Mother.
I'll go upstairs.
Wait.
Let's talk.
It's about Ji Min.
I'm thinking of sending him to the US to study.
I've been thinking about it as well.
You've been thinking about sending him abroad?
Yes. He said he wanted to go,
so I've already looked into a school and a place to live.
I see.
Then can I proceed according to what I planned?
There's no need.
I plan to hire an expert there.
- An expert? - Yes.
We must consider what college he'll go to as well.
We should hire a college admission consultant...
and plan his strategy accordingly.
That's a good idea as well,
but I'd like Ji Min to study what he wants...
in a free environment.
Ji Min will inherit Yangji Group...
after your husband.
He needs to receive proper education befitting that.
You should know he's different from average families' kids.
I'll teach him well so that he can.
Don't worry, Mother.
You'll teach him?
I'll go with him.
No, you can't.
I can't?
What about the company?
I'll find a good replacement.
No.
Mother.
I'll get him a live-in housekeeper...
and a teacher there to help him with his studies,
so don't worry about him.
Still, I can't let him go alone.
Please let me go with him.
What you need to worry about right now...
is Kwang Il, not Ji Min.
You only see your son right now, right?
All I see is my son as well.
My poor son is falling apart day by day.
He's trying to be the successor. This is a critical time.
You can't leave him alone.
So you stay by my son's side...
and protect him.
Understood?
If Ji Min leaves now,
he'll live apart from us until he finishes college.
I wonder if I can live that long.
He'll come home every vacation.
I thought we'd have him here for at least another year.
Ji Min wants to go.
He'll be going eventually.
Let him go in peace.
Why do you think Kwang Il asked me for help with it?
Ji Min alone?
- Yes. - What about his mom?
I can't send her.
I can't live here alone.
So please tell her to stay here with me.
She won't send him by himself.
That's why I need your help.
You know he can't live without her.
Do it for him.
Does he like her that much?
What?
I mean Kwang Il.
How could a guy...
like only one woman so much like that?
I don't understand.
I know.
Anyway, they asked you to handle...
Ji Min's study abroad plans?
Yes.
Why?
Ms. Jang said...
Ms. Yoon is very busy with work...
and asked me to look into everything for her.
A place for Ji Min to live,
a live-in housekeeper,
and a college admission consultant.
Did you tell Mother to send Ji Min to study abroad?
No.
Did she say she'll send him abroad?
Don't lie to me.
I'm not you.
Aren't you the one who wanted to send him to study abroad?
So what's the problem?
She wants to send him alone. Alone.
She does?
Then do that.
Don't you feel bad for Ji Min?
Exactly. Let him go so that at least he can breathe.
What?
This is the most I can do for you.
So take it while I'm offering it.
Don't regret it later.
Goodness. Look at the time.
Why are you still up?
I couldn't sleep.
It's so late.
You work even more now...
than before we got married.
Do I?
It's good to work,
but I wish you'd think about Set Byul and me too.
Sorry.
Honey.
Do you regret marrying me?
What do you mean?
But then again,
you wouldn't have...
even thought of marrying me if it weren't for Set Byul.
Duk Shil.
I know you're trying,
but you have no idea...
that your trying makes it...
harder for me, do you?
That's how I feel. That's all.
Goodnight.
Don't say you're sorry.
You must be tired. Go to sleep.
Okay.
Good night.
Where's Shi Wol?
She'll be down soon.
Here she is.
I'll let you talk.
Did you want to see me?
Yes. Sit down.
It's about Ji Min studying abroad.
He says he'll go alone.
Isn't that right?
Yes.
Don't worry.
I'm not a child anymore.
Ji Min.
I can go by myself.
So don't worry about a thing and focus on work.
Ji Min. Mommy...
We'll make the arrangements accordingly.
Ms. Yang will handle everything for his studying abroad.
Okay. I heard.
Ms. Yang will handle his studying abroad plans?
That's right. You're busy with work.
Mother.
Okay, so everything has been decided.
Okay.
Don't worry too much.
Ji Min will do just fine.
Of course he will.
We agreed to go together.
Why are you saying you'll go alone?
You need to stay and work.
No. I'm going to go with you.
You're much more important to me than work.
What?
You should stay with Daddy.
Ji Min.
I saw how down Daddy's been lately.
I think he needs you more than I do.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine. I promise.
Your mother-in-law?
Yes.
That's not like her.
I thought she of all people would take your side.
Do you think...
she caught onto something?
I don't know. She never shows what she's thinking.
That's shocking too,
but it's more shocking that Ji Min says he'll go alone.
He matured way too soon.
It breaks my heart.
You're right.
So what will you do?
If your mother-in-law is saying that too,
it won't be easy to push forward...
with what you want to do.
Why don't you send Ji Min first...
and go later on?
Later on?
Later on.
Did you win over the employee rep?
Yes. We offered him 700,000 dollars in cash...
and a deputy manager position at Yangji Corporation,
and he accepted on the spot.
Now that the employee rep is on our side,
will the 11.4 percent shares owned by the employees be ours?
We can't guarantee it, but since the rep...
steers the decision of the group,
I guess we can expect that.
Still, we don't know what Sun Holdings may do,
so don't let your guard down.
Yes, sir.
I think Yangji bought over our employee rep.
Are you sure?
There's a word that he's telling the employee shareholders...
to vote for Yangji at the shareholders meeting.
If we lose the employee shares,
it's game over for us. What should we do?
We have to stop them.
How?
We'll use the management normalization plan...
I put together based on succession planning...
to persuade the employee shareholders and small shareholders.
Would they appreciate your sincerity?
The moment Yangji exercises their managerial authority,
they will lose their jobs.
They may deny it now,
but Yangji will shut down Shimmi Foods eventually.
Sure. If they find out what Yangji is really up to,
they'll take our side.
Ji Min is going abroad to study?
That's right. All by himself, too.
By himself?
Why?
It must be the prelude to getting them divorced.
Because she will never give up on Ji Min.
Then they're using studying abroad as an excuse...
to take Ji Min away from her.
Pretty much.
Does that mean Auntie...
and Grandfather know about her and Mr. Oh?
From what I saw at breakfast,
Father and Jung Hee don't seem to know.
Did Chairman Choi not tell them yet?
But then again, even if he did,
that family never shows what they think or feel.
You're right. That family is so wicked.
Especially Jung Hee.
No one holds a candle to Shi Wol in that aspect.
My gosh. What about Ms. Yang?
All the women living with Grandfather are wicked.
That's right.
The problem with the women there is they hide their feelings too much,
and the problem with the women here is they're way too open.
My gosh. They're so different.
Hold on. What's wrong with Ji Eun and me?
You're pretty.
- Okay. - Mom.
Yes, we are.
Ji Min.
Mister.
Why are you so down?
Because it's hot out.
No it isn't.
You seem worried.
Do you want to play basketball with me?
Basketball?
Sure.
Dribble.
Dribble. Shoot!
That was close. Try again.
Again.
Okay, Ji Min. Dribble. Dribble.
Shoot.
Nice shot.
You're really good at basketball.
You're like a pro.
Tell me if you want to learn basketball.
I'll teach you.
What? You don't want me to?
No.
Then why aren't you saying anything?
I'm going to the US soon to study.
So you're going.
When are you leaving?
I need to get there before the new semester starts,
so I'll probably leave as soon as things are ready.
Is Mommy going with you?
What is it?
Mommy isn't going.
She isn't?
No. I'm going alone.
Why are you going alone?
Mommy has to work.
So everyone is against her going with me.
So that's why you were down.
Will you be okay alone?
Of course.
But I'm more worried about Mommy.
- You are? - Yes.
She seems very down lately.
Why is she down?
She and my dad seem to be fighting a lot.
Thank you for playing with me all this time.
What? Not at all.
Sorry I couldn't play with you much...
because I've been so busy.
It's okay.
Do you like hanging out with me?
- Yes. - What do you like?
Just...
everything.
- Just everything? - Yes.
I kind of feel like you're my soulmate or something.
What?
I feel like we understand each other in every way.
That's why I like you.
I'll raise Ji Min to be their heir...
in Yoo Wol's place.
It'll be painful for you to watch that...
every single day.
Me too.
Really?
Yes.
I feel like we really get each other as well.
We must really be soulmates.
Ji Min.
What are you doing here?
I played basketball with Mr. Oh.
Okay.
Let's go home.
Daddy.
Are you angry because I was with Mr. Oh?
I'm leaving soon,
so I wanted to hang out with him one more time before I leave.
I'm sorry.
Do you like him that much?
Yes.
More than Daddy?
But Ji Min, do you like Mr. Oh that much?
Yes.
What do you like so much?
We just get each other.
Do you like him more than Daddy?
Goodness. Of course not.
Right? I'm your favorite, right?
Of course not.
You're my daddy.
Right? You are...
my son, right?
Daddy's your favorite, right?
Yes.
Sorry, Ji Min.
I've been having a hard time lately, that's why.
It's okay.
You know...
how much I love you, right?
Of course.
That's why I'm sending you.
Because I love you so much.
So don't be too hurt, okay?
I know...
how much you love me.
But Daddy.
Yes?
Please take care of Mommy...
while I'm away.
Mommy seems to have a hard time lately just like you.
Okay. I will.
Then I'm fine.
I'll take good care of Mommy as you say.
Okay.
So don't worry, Ji Min.
What are you thinking about?
So Ji Min is going to study abroad?
How did you know?
I saw him at the park just now.
It'll be hard for you...
once he leaves.
I'll go now.
Yoo Wol.
- Ji Min... - Sorry.
I didn't know when I'd get to see him again once he leaves,
so I played with him a little.
Don't scold him too much.
I won't be able to play with him anymore...
even if I want to.
Okay.
Thanks...
for playing with him today.
Bye.
Hi Mommy.
- Ji Min. - Yes?
Say you won't go.
Say you can't go unless I go with you.
Mommy.
You can't go alone.
So Ji Min,
ask Grandpa.
Grandpa will do anything for you.
Please? Ji Min.
(A Place in the Sun)
I know you love me the most in the world.
I want to learn how to live on my own.
I'll become a strong person like Mr. Oh.
I bet no dad loves his daughter as much as you do.
I realized through Set Byul...
that you can't love someone through effort.
Do you know what my last dream is?
It's leaving Yangji Group to you, Ji Min.
Always remember.
The future owner of Yangji Group is you, Ji Min.
