(Episode 59)
So Ji Min is the reason you've been unable to say anything.
I never imagined that was the position you were in.
I need to find Ji Min first.
So please, Yoo Wol.
I'm begging you.
Please keep it a secret...
until I get Ji Min back.
Once I divorce Kwang Il and get Ji Min back,
you can do as you please.
You know...
how frightening Choi Tae Joon is.
He said I may never see Ji Min again...
if I don't keep this a secret until the merger is completed.
Ji Min didn't just go study abroad.
He's being held hostage.
So please keep it a secret...
until I get him back.
Ji Min is my son.
I refuse to let him get hurt too.
Don't worry.
I'll find him whatever it takes.
I'll protect him.
Can you get divorced if the merger goes through?
Yes.
And they'll give you Ji Min?
Yes.
Sorry. It's my fault.
No.
At least I found out.
I won't...
let you suffer alone again.
She's doing this knowing I'm having her followed.
Is she doing this intentionally for me to see?
Or...
did he find out that Ji Min...
is his son?
That's right.
There's no way Shi Wol didn't tell him about Ji Min.
He knows...
that Ji Min is his son.
Hold on.
How did Mom know Ji Min was Tae Yang's son?
Once Kwang Il becomes the successor,
I'll have him divorce her.
I'll kick out Ji Min too.
If Tae Yang finds out...
that Ji Min is his son, he'll do whatever it takes...
to bring him here and raise him himself.
But I can't tell Kwang Il to raise him.
But if not, Duk Shil...
No.
It's unfair enough that she lost Set Byul.
How could she raise a child that woman gave birth to?
Whatever the case may be,
Ji Min is the problem.
How did you know Ji Min was Tae Yang's son?
How did you know something even Tae Yang doesn't know?
I found out somehow.
Somehow?
How exactly?
I heard by chance.
That makes no sense.
I overheard Choi Kwang Il and his wife talking.
Mom. Are you following her?
That's right, I followed her...
in case she'd see Tae Yang again.
That means...
Kwang Il knows Ji Min isn't his child.
That's right.
That must be why they suddenly sent him to study abroad.
Then now,
all that remains is Shi Wol getting a divorce.
If they get divorced, can you...
Can Ji Min...
Ji Min what?
Never mind.
She knows I'm having her followed.
She doesn't care whether or not I see anymore, is that it?
Do you know who Kwang Il's birth mom is?
It's my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law conspired with Choi Tae Joon...
and switched Kwang Il and me.
It's shocking enough that I was switched,
but it's more shocking that the person who did it...
was my own mother-in-law.
How could this happen to you?
That supposed mother-in-law,
who knows everything but won't tell me,
makes me sick.
I must really be cursed.
Were you standing here, glaring at me?
No wonder.
I felt cold air wash over me.
You know I'm watching you, right?
That's right, I do.
But you meet with that punk anyway.
I begged him to approve the merger as you wanted.
So?
Will he approve it?
I don't know.
We'll find out tomorrow.
Sure.
Everything will be concluded tomorrow.
How long will you have me followed?
Actually, I plan to stop.
- What? - It's no fun.
It only kills my mood.
Just keep your promise...
to divorce me and give me...
full parental rights over Ji Min once the merger goes through.
You have to keep your promise.
Sure.
If you divorce me, will you go to that punk?
I'm going to go to Ji Min.
I see. Ji Min.
A child needs his mom.
I'm going to take care of him.
Sure, and you should.
About your birth mom...
Have you ever met her even once?
No, never.
Aren't you curious what she's like?
She left me.
Why should I be curious?
Why do you suddenly ask about her?
I was suddenly curious...
what the mom who gave birth to you...
is like.
Why are you suddenly showing interest to me now?
I have only one mother.
I have no other mother.
- You're home. - Yes.
Come here. Sit with me for a minute.
About the shares...
of Yangji Logis that I own...
Yes?
I want to sell them.
Why?
I have this bad feeling...
that it'll plummet...
after tomorrow's shareholders meeting.
Don't sell your Logis stock.
It's very valuable now,
but it'll drop if the merger falls through.
If you really want to sell them, assign them over to me.
What?
To you?
Yes.
You've never lost money by following my investment advice.
You bought Shinsung Express stock as I advised,
which was acquired by Logis,
and Logis' stock price went up,
so you made a huge profit during the past three years.
That's right. If the merger goes through,
Logis will be Yangji's new core company.
Then I can use Logis stock that I own...
to control that jerk Jang Wol Chun.
Okay. You're right.
I never lost money by following your investment advice,
so I'll do as you say again...
as usual.
I'll go now.
Hold on.
How long...
will you be like this with Duk Shil?
Why are you two...
doing this lately?
I'll tell you later.
Gosh.
My goodness.
Did you just see Shi Wol?
Are you having me followed?
Yes.
I'm watching you to see what you do...
when you're out.
What's wrong with you?
This isn't like you.
What is like me?
Being stupid and just caring for you?
Is that being like me?
So stop caring for me.
What?
Who asked you to care for me?
Why do you care for me as you please...
and suffocate me?
Don't care for me.
I'm tired of it.
Just because Set Byul's gone...
Why are you bringing her up now?
Then why else are you doing this?
Don't try to find out.
The moment you do,
you'll live in torment like me.
Why are you doing this to me?
Please, just leave it alone.
It'll only hurt you if you find out.
It's because of Ji Min, isn't it?
How did you...
You want to leave me...
because of Ji Min. That's why, isn't it?
Because you found out that Ji Min is your son.
You...
knew?
That's right. I knew.
Sorry,
but I won't divorce you.
Duk Shil.
For whose sake?
Why should I?
When did I ask for a divorce?
Please, get it together!
You jerk.
You're going to leave me.
Things are hard enough.
Why must you add to it?
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm hurting so much from losing Set Byul.
Are you really my husband?
How could you do this to me?
This is just miserable.
This is misery defined.
I found out you were hiding a secret child.
How could you show no remorse in front of me?
What gives you the right?
Finally, Yangji Corporation's shareholder meeting is today.
Since Daesong gave you their power of attorney,
you'll get the merger through without a hitch, right?
Yes, sir.
Finally,
Jang Wol Chun's grandson will succeed him...
in managing the company.
You never know until it happens.
That's right.
But Shi Wol, why are you so hard to see...
the past few days?
I'm sorry. I've been busy.
Once Kwang Il becomes chairman,
your role will become much more important.
You need to help him a lot.
Why won't you answer me?
Yes, sir.
I had a dream last night.
It felt really good.
What was it about?
A dragon flew in from somewhere,
flew around our house once.
Then it flew to the new office in Samseong-dong...
and then...
circled around buildings there over and over.
It was so beautiful.
Since I had this dream the day of the shareholders meeting...
where you will be named successor, I'm sure it's a good omen.
It really is a lucky dream.
- Kwang Il. - Yes, Grandfather.
You must finally...
be taking the path of a king.
You must do well.
Yes, sir. I will follow in your and Father's footsteps...
and lead Yangji Group well.
You won't go to the shareholders meeting?
Are you insane? Why not?
I don't want to see Choi Tae Joon and Kwang Il...
looking all happy.
That's why you should go and throw cold water on them.
No. You should dump boiling hot water on them.
You should come out to the world that you're Yangji's real owner.
It makes me giddy just thinking about it.
I plan to withdraw...
my opposition to the merger.
What?
Are you out of your mind?
The merger must go through...
for Shi Wol to divorce Kwang Il.
Are you saying...
you'll let him have Yangji Group for Shi Wol's sake?
It's for my son Ji Min's sake.
Once the merger is approved today,
Yangji Corporation's stock will plummet.
So...
- What? - Buy up...
as much of Yangji's stock that falls in Sun Holdings' name.
What will you do with the shares?
I'll take away...
everything Kwang Il has.
Don't take a detour.
Just go to Chairman Jang now and tell him everything.
That you're his real grandson.
No.
I don't want to succeed him.
What?
I won't forgive you.
I will destroy you all.
I will destroy Yangji, which you people...
are trying so hard to protect,
and I'll rebuild it myself.
You incompetent fools have no right owning it.
All you do is bleed people dry like vampires.
I will kick out every single one of you.
How dare you cause a scene here?
Get out of my house right this instant!
I will destroy it completely...
and rebuild it properly myself.
Yes, I understand.
How did it go?
The merger of Yangji Logis and Yangji Corporation...
was approved.
What?
Yes, as it should.
Are you happy?
Of course.
I finally left the group to my grandson.
I can die a happy man now.
But you know...
Oh Tae Yang didn't show up at the shareholders meeting.
He didn't show up?
No. He even withdrew his opposition to the merger.
I wonder why.
That's not like him.
And Daesong...
What about Daesong?
Why do you think Mr. Oh suddenly withdrew...
his opposition to the merger?
Maybe he knew Daesong was taking our side?
But Daesong...
voted to deny the merger.
If Mr. Oh hadn't backed down,
the merger would've failed.
Daesong is a pro...
at stabbing you in the back.
Chairman Hong is so...
I know.
He can't do this if he cares about Ji Eun.
I can't understand him at all.
Regardless, it's a good thing for us.
We don't need to keep the promise to Min Jae.
We don't have to buy Daesong's shares...
of Yangji Corporation at a high price.
Are you saying you won't give Min Jae...
Yangji Pharmaceuticals as promised?
I never intended to.
It was just bait.
Then you shouldn't have mentioned it to begin with.
That's how critical this merger was.
How else could Kwang Il become successor?
What if Oh Tae Yang hadn't backed down?
They messed us up last time with the Construction deal.
And now...
Seriously, I don't care that we're in-laws.
We're through with Daesong.
Now that the merger is done,
what do you plan to do with Shi Wol?
Will you really divorce her?
Of course.
I'm going to have him remarried immediately after the divorce.
Start looking for someone.
Getting remarried immediately after getting divorced...
wouldn't look good.
He needs to have children who will succeed him.
What? What's the rush? He has Ji Min.
Ji Min...
Regardless, you just look for someone...
he can marry.
If you'll excuse me.
Darn it.
He withdrew his opposition to the merger?
You jerk.
Are you...
showing off to me how much you love Shi Wol?
About this much.
Isn't that the new logo design?
Yes. Putting a large logo on sportswear is back in trend.
So we want to launch new items incorporating the new logo.
There's a bunch,
but we brought two samples that match the brand image.
It should look good in jackets and t-shirts.
What would be good as the main design?
For each product line,
let's use the design colors...
and use the two that match them the best.
Let's do a customer survey...
and proceed accordingly.
Okay.
Heard that?
Let's take a survey first.
That's right.
Yoo Wol is so cool,
doing something that huge for you.
I realize I'm the evil witch.
I shouldn't have kept my mouth shut just because you did.
I should've told Yoo Wol everything from the get-go.
Stop it.
Fine. Anyway,
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to you.
Now, all that remains is divorcing Kwang Il, right?
Yes.
Once you get divorced, will you leave the company?
I should.
What will you do for a living?
I'm going to go to Ji Min.
I'm going to study in the US with him.
What about Yoo Wol?
That's for him to decide.
Aren't you going to start over?
What do you mean, start over? After all that happened?
What? Are you planning to leave by yourself...
after what he did for you?
How could Chairman Hong do that to us again?
What does he take us for?
Why did he do it?
Why did Daesong do that?
The board refused.
What? The board? Why?
If Daesong approved, the small shareholders would be hurt,
and if Daesong was the only one being secretly compensated,
it could become a problem later on.
Father said he never imagined JO would withdraw their opposition.
Why did Oh Tae Yang suddenly back out?
Right?
I have no idea what's going on either.
Now,
we can't guarantee you'll get Yangji Pharmaceuticals anymore.
No way.
Grandfather promised to give me Pharmaceuticals.
That's ridiculous.
No. I have a bad feeling about this.
We won't be left out in the cold now, will we?
Don't say that.
What do you mean, left out in the cold?
I really can't understand your father.
Are you really his daughter?
Mother.
He shouldn't make a promise he can't keep to begin with.
Look at this mess.
Thank goodness Oh Tae Yang backed out.
If the merger failed, Min Jae would've been a traitor again.
Father said he pushed forward with approving the merger,
but the board opposed it so strongly...
Whatever!
Min Jae was finally accepted and was trying to succeed,
but it's all ruined because of your father.
Mommy, are you not the real child either?
What do you mean?
Grandma asked just earlier...
if you're his real daughter.
My baby bear isn't the real son either.
Who said that?
Who said the baby bear isn't the real son?
Ms. Yang.
Why that woman.
Why that...
Why do you suddenly want to eat tripe?
They make good tripe here.
I don't like tripe.
Me neither.
But theirs is very good.
Try it.
Hello.
Please sit here.
Which would you like?
You order.
Okay. Excuse me.
Yes?
This and this.
We'll take these.
Okay.
Bring us some water, please.
Okay.
What's wrong?
I feel like I've seen her before.
Where was it?
You've seen her before?
Yes.
That's right. She's Mr. Oh's mother-in-law.
She's Mr. Oh's mother-in-law?
Yes.
I saw her at his wedding.
That woman is Mr. Oh Tae Yang's mother-in-law?
Yes.
I heard she ran a restaurant.
I guess she still does.
Im Mi Ran is Mr. Oh's mother-in-law?
Things are getting interesting.
Why did that woman suddenly come here?
She couldn't have come on purpose,
knowing who I was, could she?
Thank you for the tripe.
Isn't it strange, though?
What is?
If she's Mr. Oh's mother-in-law, she should know who you are.
How could she not say hi the entire time?
She may not know. That's not a big deal.
It's her.
Sorry?
The old colleague that I said I ran into recently.
Then why did you act like you didn't know each other?
As I told you, we weren't close.
I met her when I was working at Yangji Construction.
I was a personal assistant,
and she was in Accounting.
Accounting?
Yes.
It's when Chairman Choi...
was the Accounting manager.
I see.
Then he must know her as well.
Of course, he does.
Her name is Im Mi Ran. She was around 20 at the time.
But why are you telling me about her?
Did you have a falling out with her or something?
Don't be shocked by what I'm about to tell you.
There was...
a rumor that she was living with Chairman Choi at the time.
That's how close they were.
But suddenly, Chairman Choi...
married you instead.
As soon as he married you,
she left the company.
So there was a lot of gossips.
The reason I'm telling you about something from the past...
is because I saw the two of them...
together recently with my own eyes.
You asked me what I thought of Chairman Choi...
not long ago, remember?
He's a frightening person.
Be careful. And...
don't trust him.
It's our divorce papers.
You got the merger as you wanted,
so keep your promise to me.
You just have to sign it.
What are you doing?
Sorry.
I can't divorce you.
What?
I cannot divorce you.
Why you...
(A Place in the Sun)
I'll raise Ji Min to succeed me.
- Kwang Il! - Ji Min is my son.
Why would he succeed you?
Ji Min isn't even your son. Why do you want to raise him?
Whose son is Ji Min?
Take Ji Min and get out of our house!
I think I'll have to tell Mother the truth.
We can't let them know I'm the real son.
I'll bear all your burdens from now on.
Mother, if I'm not your real son as Ji Min isn't mine,
will you dump me?
Will you dump me?
