(Episode 54)
Why was Kwang Il born...
on the same day as me?
I have a question.
About that guy that you said had the same fate as me.
How is he doing lately?
Why do you ask?
I wonder if his life has as many ups and downs as mine.
Didn't I tell you?
He's on a path that is the complete opposite of yours.
Who is that guy?
I can't tell you.
Why not?
Profound secrets cannot be divulged.
Okay.
What did he say?
He's staying at Mr. Jung's today and will be back tomorrow.
What? He's going to Mr. Jung?
Yes.
Why is he going there?
Is he going...
to argue with him about Set Byul?
Okay then. I'm going to bed.
Okay.
She seems very disappointed...
that Tae Yang isn't coming home.
Gosh.
This is unbearable.
I feel like I'm walking on eggshells next to those two.
Gosh.
What now?
Have a seat. I need to talk to you.
Why did Tae Yang go to Mr. Jung?
How would I know?
Are you sure that's where he went?
Of course.
Are you saying he lied or something?
What?
Hurry up and have another child.
What?
Both you and Tae Yang...
This just won't do.
- Mom. - What if...
he leaves you?
Why would he leave me?
Because...
you don't have Set Byul anymore.
He married you because of her,
- but she... - Stop it.
How could...
a mom be like this?
How could a mom say that to her daughter?
I know.
You must think I'm cold for saying this,
but I say this because I'm your mom.
He won't leave me.
He wouldn't leave me just because we lost Set Byul.
We have...
faith and trust.
Faith and trust?
Yes.
So don't worry about me,
and live your own life.
You have a man who's into you and chasing you.
That's...
Brat.
She has no idea how I feel.
You look terrible.
I came because I wanted to ask you something.
What is it?
You said there was someone with the same fate as mine.
That's right.
Is he...
Chairman Jang Wol Chun's grandson,
Choi Kwang Il?
It is.
I heard you were the one who gave him...
that fate.
That's right.
I created Kwang Il's fate.
Chairman Jang asked me to.
Did you choose a date?
Yes, luckily.
I was looking for fates near her due date,
and it was like looking for a needle in space.
It was very hard.
That's why back in the day, noble families...
planned pregnancies and scheduled dates for conception.
How could you be so reckless...
and get someone's precious daughter pregnant?
You are practically a thief.
We're getting Jung Hee...
a Caesarean section.
A Caesarean section?
This is your grandson's fortune.
Is this really...
Yes.
Your grandson will succeed you...
and make Yangji a global company.
He is fated to be king.
So Kwang Il was born on the date and time...
that I selected for him.
You said Choi Tae Joon was not his real father.
Then who is his real father?
He died in a car accident.
You know the arboretum Ji Min's grandmother has?
Kwang Il's real father's grave is there.
You saw it too.
I did?
I saw you in front of the grave with Ji Min...
three years ago.
That was Kwang Il's real father's grave.
It's Ji Min. I'm here.
How have you been?
This is our next-door neighbor.
Whose grave is this?
My grandfather's.
Grandfather?
But your grandfather's alive.
Not that grandfather. They say I have another grandfather.
That grave...
Because he died so suddenly,
Chairman Jang rushed and took in Choi Tae Joon as his son-in-law.
As a servant son-in-law to raise his grandson...
to be king.
But why do you ask?
Why did you come out of the blue and ask that?
Because I want to know who I am.
Who am I?
He is Mother's son.
What?
Don't you dare touch him.
I'll tell everyone who you are.
Shi Wol.
Now, you're threatening me too?
Come have a seat.
Yangji Logis and Yangji Corporation will be merging tomorrow.
Yangji Corporation's shareholders will be against it.
Sure. I'm sure they'll attack it.
First,
Min Jae's family is the one we need to deal with first.
Your aunt's family has the third most shares...
just after your grandfather and mother.
We can't get it through without her consent.
So? What will you do?
We need to give them a carrot.
What if a carrot doesn't work?
Then we'll give them the whip.
We must merge the companies as soon as possible.
Once the merger is completed,
Yangji Group will be all yours.
So you must be careful until then.
You understand what I mean, right?
Yes.
I'll keep a close eye on Shi Wol.
Good. Make sure she keeps her mouth shut...
until the merger has been completed. Do whatever it takes.
The structure of the merger is for Yangji Logis...
to buy up all of Yangji Corporation's stocks?
That's right.
What about the ratio of the merger?
For every share of Yangji Logis, it'll be 0.35 of Yangji Corporation.
- What? - What?
What does that mean?
It means it's very disadvantageous for us.
It's very disadvantageous?
That's ridiculous.
That means it'll be...
three shares of Yangji Corporation for one share of Logis.
That's the most ridiculous merger I've ever heard of.
Hold on.
Are you saying you'll cut the value of my shares...
of Yangji Corporation to a third of the price...
of Kwang Il's Logis shares?
That's right.
That's utterly ridiculous.
Yangji Corporation's shares are worth three times Logis'.
How could you flip them and merge the companies?
I'm against this merger!
Me too.
A nonsensical merger just to make Kwang Il successor?
I'm against it too.
Don't worry, Sook Hee.
You'll be compensated for the loss incurred through the merger.
Compensation? Like what?
Ask Father.
Father.
How? How will you compensate me?
Just eat.
Jae Yong, Min Jae, come to my room later.
Seriously.
Min Jae,
I'll give you Yangji Pharmaceuticals.
You'll give me Yangji Pharmaceuticals?
That's right.
It may be small,
but bio will be...
the most lucrative industry in the future.
So take over and grow it.
Yes, Grandfather. You can count on me.
I'll grow Yangji Pharmaceuticals...
to be one of the top pharmaceutical companies in Korea.
Good.
So...
don't create friction regarding the merger...
and approve it, okay?
Yes, sure.
If that's what you want.
By the way, Grandfather,
Ji Wook finally started to sing again.
He did?
Yes. Wait a minute.
Ji Wook, you can do well, right?
Good boy. Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
Is Ji Wook okay now?
I don't know. I can't tell yet.
Gosh.
Three bears
Live in a house
Papa Bear, Mama Bear
Baby Bear
Papa Bear
Is fat
Baby Bear
Is so cute
Shrug, shrug
Great job
But...
what's wrong with the song?
Are the three bears on their way to die?
Well...
You did well, Ji Wook. Good.
Yangji Corporation is merging with Yangji Logis.
The ratio of the merger is...
1 to 0.35?
This is huge.
Are you listening?
What?
Yangji Corporation is merging with Yangji Logis.
- They're merging? - Yes.
But their ratio is 1 to 0.35.
This is the most ridiculous merger ever.
They're doing a strange merger in order to make him the successor.
I won't let that happen.
What do you mean?
I'll stop them.
How will you stop them?
I have shares of Yangji Corporation.
You do? How much?
Quite...
a bit.
Everyone's in shock about the merger.
How could they exchange...
three of our shares for one of Logis'? That's crazy.
You should've told me.
Then I would've sold my shares of Yangji Corporation...
before they announced the merger.
Sorry.
I had no idea they'd make the ratio like that.
You didn't know?
No.
From Ji Min's study abroad plans to company matters now...
I'm being excluded.
I see.
Anyway, will they really let you get divorced...
once the merger goes through?
What if they change their tune later?
Are you going somewhere?
Yes.
I got a loan to buy those shares.
They're worthless now.
What do I do now?
You stupid idiot.
What is it?
Mother says it'll never happen.
What will you do about custody...
and parental rights over Ji Min?
I promised it would all be yours.
What will you say to Grandfather and Mother?
We'll just tell them Ji Min isn't Kwang Il's son.
What about the DNA test we ran on Ji Min...
when he was born?
I told you I have my ways.
Fabricating test results is a piece of cake for us.
If you want to divorce Kwang Il as you wish...
and leave with Ji Min, that's the only way.
Once the merger goes through,
I'll have Kwang Il remarried and have kids, so don't worry.
Will Kwang Il do as you wish?
He's the only son for four generations.
As soon as he is made successor,
he'll have a child who will succeed him.
We'll continue...
the Choi family line that you cut off.
- This is terrible. - What?
Yangji Corporation's second-largest shareholder...
announced that they oppose their merger with Logis.
JO? Why?
Well...
Why did JO suddenly do that?
It turns out the real owner of JO...
is Sun Holdings' Oh Tae Yang.
Who says you can merge the companies?
Who says?
It's me.
What happens now...
if Yoo Wol opposes it?
JO's real owner is Oh Tae Yang?
You leech!
Darn it.
(Choi)
Why is he calling again?
Why do you keep calling me?
Your son-in-law...
keeps getting in the way of Kwang Il's future.
You must have seen on the news...
that we're trying to merge...
Yangji Logis with Yangji Corporation.
So?
Tae Yang announced that he opposes the merger.
Would you like to order?
We already did.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I'll clean that right up.
Darn it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please continue.
So? What about it?
They need to merge...
so that our Kwang Il can inherit Yangji Group.
But Oh Tae Yang is causing me a headache again.
He's already running amok. If he found out he's...
So what do you want me to do about it?
Are you telling me to kill Tae Yang or something?
Why do you think I'm living such a painful life?
Kwang Il is our son.
Our son that you and I gave birth to together.
So why am I the only one worrying about him?
You're the one who gave birth to him.
Since when was Kwang Il my son?
You're the one who always insisted he wasn't my son.
That was then. Things are different now.
Oh Tae Yang is your son-in-law.
So? What can I do?
Please...
stop him.
Tell him to stay out of Kwang Il's way.
Please...
Please stop him.
Why do you think I'm living such a painful life?
It's for Kwang Il.
Kwang Il is our son.
Our son that you and I gave birth to together.
So why am I the only one worrying about him?
You're the one who gave birth to him.
Why here of all places?
Isn't it so interesting?
What is?
You and Shi Wol.
How could you have the exact same taste in men?
Your first love...
and Shi Wol's old love, Mr. Oh,
look exactly alike. They're like carbon copies.
If Mother gave birth to Kwang Il,
then who is her son?
Hi.
Did you see Mr. Jung?
Yes.
I'm going to my study.
Why is Mother's son living there?
Why is Kwang Il...
What if...
he leaves you?
Why would he leave me?
Because...
you don't have Set Byul anymore.
He married you because of her,
- but she... - Stop it.
No. He would never.
He will never leave me.
You're back.
Where are the kids?
Duk Shil is in her room...
and Tae Yang is in the study.
Where did you go?
You didn't go to the restaurant.
I had to meet someone.
Mom has a boyfriend.
What? What was that?
Is... Is what she said true?
- No... - Yes.
It's true.
Who is he?
Who is that punk?
It's not like that.
How could she date someone without my knowing?
Why that woman.
Gosh.
Why are you avoiding me?
I'm not avoiding you.
Ever since we lost Set Byul,
you haven't spent more than 10 minutes with me.
How is that not avoiding me?
This isn't because of you.
Then why?
I just want to be alone.
Are we...
really married?
Are we really married?
Why are you suddenly complaining about that?
After we lost Set Byul,
we don't seem like a married couple anymore.
You...
married me because of her.
I guess you'll leave me...
now that she's gone.
Don't worry.
I won't leave you.
Really?
That's right.
Then let's have another child.
What?
You said you'll stay with me,
so let's have another child.
How could you say that so soon after we lost Set Byul?
It's because we lost her.
We were able to stay together because of her.
But she's gone now.
So let's have another child.
Sorry, but Duk Shil,
I won't have any more children.
I don't...
need children.
Why not?
Everyone I love leaves me,
so I'm scared.
You stop him.
How can I stop him?
He's Ji Min's birth father.
You need to protect Ji Min.
What do you mean?
If you don't stop Oh Tae Yang,
you may never see Ji Min ever again.
What do you mean?
I may be unable to give him to you.
- Sir! - So...
stop Oh Tae Yang from opposing the merger!
Remember...
I can only keep my promise if the merger goes through.
And keep your mouth shut.
If you tell anyone this secret,
that person will never see Ji Min again either,
be it your mother-in-law or Oh Tae Yang.
Remember that.
Why are you sighing so heavily?
Are you thinking of Ji Min?
Let's talk.
I hear you're the real owner of JO, the American hedge fund.
Yes.
I made a lot of money...
by betting against American banks...
during the subprime mortgage crisis.
I acquired JO with the money I made.
The current CEO is my agent that I appointed.
I see.
Were you sighing because I oppose the merger...
of Yangji Corporation and Logis?
You're determined...
to destroy Yangji Group, aren't you?
That's right.
Don't do it.
Sorry, but I can't stop...
even if you beg.
As Yangji Corporation's second-largest shareholder,
I will participate in its management. And...
I'll stop the unfair merger with Logis.
Please don't.
Why?
Are you scared that Kwang Il won't become the successor?
- No. - Then?
He won't have any more children?
Fine.
Do as you wish.
Why are you drinking alone?
Tae Yang...
won't have another kid.
You won't have any more grandchildren,
so wake up and smell the coffee.
Did Tae Yang say that?
That he won't have any more kids?
Yes.
We may not have...
any children between us,
but we have faith and trust,
so don't you fret.
Faith and trust?
Give me a break.
What?
Can you live without Tae Yang?
You can't, can you?
Then get pregnant regardless of what he says.
He doesn't want to!
Get it together, Duk Shil.
Tae Yang...
What are you afraid of?
Ji Min.
Ji Min?
My son, Ji Min.
Tae Yang what?
Tae Yang has a child.
Your husband Tae Yang has a son you don't know about.
I'm afraid I'll lose Ji Min.
That scares me, Yoo Wol.
(A Place in the Sun)
Shi Wol!
I said to stay away from my husband.
What were you talking to him about?
What do you plan to do with my man?
She's hiding something from me.
What was my mother like?
I suddenly became curious.
She'll be shocked...
and heartbroken if she finds out he's her son.
Shut your mouth.
Don't mess with me.
You've been researching Kwang Il's and my fates, right?
Why were you doing that? Tell me.
Whom do I resemble?
