(Episode 78)
The person who owns the hidden shares is you, Hwang Jae Bok?
Tae Yang, you rat.
Are you trying to push me out and replace me?
Do you think...
I'll back down that easily?
Fine. Try me.
Go ahead, you rat.
Yes.
Once we have the shareholders meeting,
Choi Tae Joon will leave Yangji...
along with his son Kwang Il.
Hello.
Hi.
Gosh.
My gosh.
What's wrong?
My chest hurts.
It must be my old age.
It happens now and then.
Be careful.
I will. Don't worry.
I...
just came from visiting Chairman Jang.
- Really? - That's right.
I went and begged...
for forgiveness on Mi Ran's behalf.
Why would you do that?
I don't have many years left to live.
I want to spend it with her.
I'm sorry.
Considering what she did to you,
I know I shouldn't do this.
I'm not asking you...
to forgive her.
I know better than anyone...
what kind of life you've led.
How could I ask that of you?
The two of us...
will move out of your house...
and live by ourselves.
Okay.
It's your life.
Don't worry about me.
Thanks...
for saying that.
Let's...
go on a cruise.
What?
I'm going to travel while I'm still healthy,
and see all the sights I couldn't see before.
Seeing Chairman Jang lying there...
made me want to do that more.
Did you go visit Chairman Jang?
Yes, I did.
I went on your behalf...
and begged him for forgiveness.
So don't worry.
He said he'd forgive you.
So let it all go,
and travel the world with me.
Aren't I...
kind of cool?
Stop that.
What? Goodness.
What's the problem?
Let's go.
We'll be sleeping in this house...
for just one more night.
I guess.
What's going on?
Mr. Hwang knows everything.
He's the one who sent the USB drive to Min Jae's family.
Just as Ji Min is your son,
you are my son.
Does Mom know...
that Tae Yang is her real son?
What a nice day.
It is.
The passing of time...
is so cruel.
You can just start enjoying life now.
That's right.
Life starts at 80.
- Let's see. - Oh dear.
Even your hands are pretty.
Stop it. Let go.
My gosh. It's a perfect fit.
What's this?
It was my mom's ring.
The day I left for the south,
my mother suddenly...
took her ring off...
and put it on my finger,
and said,
"Take care of yourself."
"If anything happens,"
"sell this and use the money."
How could I have known that would be...
the last time I'd see her?
I thought I'd go back right away.
I'm proposing to you...
right now.
Are you sure...
you want to give this to me?
Of course.
I'm sure my mother will be happy...
if you wear it.
Thank you.
Once the shareholders meeting is over,
let's move into my house in Jangchung-dong.
And...
let us...
live a happy life together.
Okay?
Okay.
Let's do that.
What great weather.
What a great view.
It's even greater because you're with me.
Everything is great.
It is. It's great.
You know,
I feel like I'm walking down a path of dreams.
Me too. I feel like I'm walking down a path of dreams.
Wait and see. I'll make sure...
you only walk on flowery paths from now on.
Flowery paths today, and paths of dreams tomorrow.
In light of that,
how about I sing you a song?
On a moonlit night
Above the Baengma River
Waterfowls cry
The past
That I've lost
Breaks my heart
Why are you just standing there?
Come here.
Okay.
I'm coming.
Row
Boatman
Min Jae must be doing well, right?
Don't worry, I'm sure he is.
I should've gone with him.
There's no point having all of us sit there and waste our energy.
Who knows when he'll wake up?
We should get ready.
That's right.
Once the new director is appointed on the shareholders meeting,
we'll get rid of Tae Joon and Kwang Il.
Then Min Jae and I will take their spots.
Then will you be the chairman?
I should safeguard the position...
until Min Jae is ready, right?
Then you'll be chairman,
and Min Jae would be vice-chairman?
That's right. Exactly.
Then I'll be the chairman's wife.
Yes.
And I'll be the vice-chairman's wife.
What about me?
You?
You'll be the lion king.
- Gosh. - Yes.
You must be tired.
I'm fine.
I'll protect Grandfather from now on...
since I'm his only real grandson.
So you can trust me and rely on me from now on.
I'll stay here. Get some rest.
I need to be here.
Don't you trust me?
That's not it. It'll be too hard for you.
What do you mean?
Say the word. I can do it all.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Then here.
Can you do it?
Of course. I've changed Ji Wook's diaper plenty of times.
I'm good at it.
I'm glad.
Grandfather, you feel cold and clammy, right?
I'll make you nice and dry.
Okay.
This is much bigger than Ji Wook's.
How do I... I should start, but...
Grandfather, I'll start now.
How do I...
Now that we know about the shares Mr. Hwang owns in another name,
we'll lose our control over the company...
at the shareholders meeting.
In the end, you and I will be kicked out.
What now?
You can't fulfill your dream of making me king.
Now, we need to pack our things and run away.
It isn't over yet.
Even Mother turned against us. What are you hoping for?
Once a new board is established, not only will they dismiss us,
but they'll dig up all of our past corruption...
and hold us legally accountable.
You and I will both end up in jail.
That's what Tae Yang was after...
when he requested the shareholders meeting.
We can't let that jerk do this to us.
So? What do you plan to do?
Win over Mr. Hwang.
He thinks of Tae Yang like his own son. He won't take our side.
He likes your birth mom.
So?
Ask your birth mom...
to please stop him.
- Me? - Yes.
She won't listen to me, but she'll listen to you.
You're her son.
All she did was give birth to me. We have no bond.
Don't say I'm her son. That's ridiculous.
So go and beg her.
Tell her since she did nothing for you as your mom until now,
she has to do this for you.
What?
Blood is thicker than water.
Tae Yang is her son-in-law, and you're her son.
So go and throw a tantrum,
cry and beg,
do whatever it takes to win her over.
Otherwise, you and I are done for.
About Kwang Il...
I sent him on a blind date.
I know.
Did he tell you?
Kim Yoo Jin came to see me on the day of the fashion show.
She wanted to know what I thought.
I told her not to mind me.
Good. So what did you think of her?
I felt like she would be a good partner...
for Kwang Il.
I'm glad.
That's how I felt too.
Whatever the case may be, Kwang Il is my son too.
I don't want him to become miserable.
So please, don't resent him too much.
The only thing he did wrong was love you.
I know.
I've only wronged him.
I also want him to be happy...
more than anyone.
I'm glad.
Let's protect him.
Otherwise, his life would be too sad.
Okay.
The past
- Where's my mom? - She went to the restaurant...
because they were busy.
Did you have a nice picnic?
Of course, we did.
Go with us next time.
It's okay. Why should I?
You and my mom should go often.
Enjoy.
Welcome...
There are no tables.
There will be one soon if you'd wait.
Okay, then. I'll wait outside.
Why is he here?
Why did you want to see me?
I'll get right to the point.
Please persuade Mr. Hwang.
What do you mean?
I'd like Mr. Hwang to vote with us at the shareholders meeting,
rather than with Tae Yang.
I heard you were close to him.
That's why I'm asking you...
to help me since I'm your son.
If you don't,
I'll lose everything.
I don't understand...
I know...
you gave birth to me.
That makes you my mother.
Can't you do that much for your son?
I'm sorry,
but I don't have that much influence.
I can't tell...
Mr. Hwang or Tae Yang what to do.
Even if I beg,
he won't do it.
I'm sure of it.
So if that's why you're here,
please leave.
I have nothing more to say.
Will you really be like this?
It's out of my control. What do you want from me?
I'm very sorry...
I can't do as you ask.
Why...
is my life so...
She refused even Kwang Il's request?
Why that woman...
Yes. Don't blame anyone else.
This is all...
payback for all the sins I've committed.
Your son just came by.
I guess the father and son are determined.
Please save us.
That's what I want to say.
Please save me.
We want you to ask Mr. Hwang to save Kwang Il.
Why is that so hard?
Do you think he'd listen to me just because I ask?
He likes you.
If the woman he likes begs him to save her son,
he wouldn't refuse you.
Tae Yang is like a son to him.
They may not be related by blood,
but they trust and depend on each other as if they were.
Even if I beg and plead,
he won't listen to me.
Even my birth mom...
chose Tae Yang, is that it?
Shi Wol, my birth mom,
and even Mother will dump me now.
What did Mother say?
What about?
Didn't she talk about me?
What about?
Do you really not know?
She says she doesn't want you to become miserable.
I feel the same way.
Are you pitying me?
Yoo Jin came to see me after our fashion show.
You can see her whenever you want.
Don't mind me.
You seem to desperately want...
us to get together.
I told you.
I don't want you to become miserable either.
I mean it.
I wish you'd find happiness.
I need to talk to you. Come to the study right now.
What is it this time?
What is that?
Give this to your birth mom.
What is it?
What is it this time?
I told Chairman Choi too.
I can't do as you ask.
Then...
do something else for me instead.
What is this?
He says to give this to Mr. Hwang...
on the morning of the shareholders meeting.
It's a sedative.
Again?
What's wrong with you people?
If you can't persuade him,
at least stop him from coming to the shareholders meeting.
Will that solve everything?
I know that much.
Yes,
they can always reschedule the meeting.
But we need time to run away.
Run away?
Once the shareholders meeting is over,
my father and I will be kicked out of Yangji.
Thanks to the USB drive Mr. Hwang sent,
the family found out who I am.
You may be punished too...
since you're the one who switched the babies.
Fine.
I've sinned, so I should be punished.
I'm fine.
I've been prepared for years.
Sorry,
but I'm not prepared at all.
You two committed the sin.
Why must I be punished for it? Why?
What have you done for me after giving birth to me?
What have you done as a mom for your child?
I let you live a luxurious life in a rich family.
I let you live as the heir apparent of the Yangji family.
What?
I did it for you.
I wanted my baby to have a good life.
You got to enjoy everything there was to enjoy,
so give it all back to its rightful owner and leave.
Just...
tell me to die.
You shouldn't have given it to me to begin with.
The cruelest thing...
is to give and then take away.
Since you say you did that tremendous thing for me,
I'll ask you one last time.
Feed this to Mr. Hwang...
on the morning of the shareholders meeting.
I need time to settle my affairs and leave.
The waterfowl
What are you doing?
Hi. Not much.
I should get ready to leave.
Are you really moving out?
You have your own life.
I can't mooch off of you here forever.
It's not like you're the Buddha.
How can you live in the same house with Duk Shil's mom?
That isn't right...
to either you...
or to her.
She also decided...
that you and Duk Shil...
should break up,
so don't worry too much.
She and I'll do whatever we can...
to persuade Duk Shil.
I was very happy...
while living with you...
all these years.
I had lived alone for over 60 years.
Thanks to you,
I wasn't lonely at least for that short time.
- Do you mean it? - Of course.
Now that I'm about to leave you,
that is what...
breaks my heart the most.
I feel the same way.
You took me in...
during my toughest times.
Since I was an orphan,
I always longed for a family.
You are like my family to me.
Thanks.
Once the shareholders meeting is over,
Mi Ran and I...
will move into my house in Jangchung-dong.
That soon?
Yes.
I just want to live my remaining years...
comfortably just the two of us, without worrying about others.
I'm so sad.
You...
are like my son.
I'll see you very often,
so don't be too sad.
Of course.
You are...
like a father to me.
I heard you're going to your house in Jangchung-dong after the meeting.
That's right.
Please make my mom happy.
I will. Don't you worry.
I'm relying on you.
Sure.
Well... So, Duk Shil...
Yes?
Well, about Tae Yang.
Can't you let him go now?
The two of you...
were never meant to be.
Don't try to persuade me.
It's my life.
So don't say anything.
Come have breakfast.
Okay.
Hold on. I'll do the rest...
after breakfast.
Where are the kids?
Tae Yang went out to exercise,
and Duk Shil wants to sleep more.
Really?
Then let's eat first.
What's this?
Isn't this moray eel soup?
I get to eat my favorite dish...
for breakfast.
I feel like...
today will be a great day.
As soon as the shareholders meeting is over,
we're going to my Jangchung-dong house. You know that, right?
Yes.
Hold on.
What?
Why aren't you talking?
Have something else.
It's fine. Give it to me.
Then I'll get you a new bowl.
My gosh.
I was about to eat it. Why are you taking it back?
Just...
tell me to die.
You shouldn't have given it to me to begin with.
The cruelest thing...
is to give and then take away.
Give it back.
My gosh.
That's refreshing.
I get to have moray eel soup for breakfast.
I'm sorry.
It's just for today. Just for today.
Your cooking really is...
the best.
You're leaving today?
Yes.
Please take good care of Mr. Hwang.
Okay.
Don't worry about him.
He's up, right?
