(Episode 35)
Hyeon Woo, I called you a lot. Do you know that?
You did?
I heard you're sick.
Is that why you couldn't answer my calls?
I was a little sick.
Are you okay now?
Yes. I'm fine.
I'm glad.
Hello.
Hi, Hyeon Woo.
I was worried, but you look good.
What are you doing here?
We're on a family trip.
Joon Seo, your dad is here.
Dad. Dad!
Dad. How did you know we were here?
Your mom told me.
So we're meeting here.
I didn't know you were here.
We just ran into each other.
They are on a family trip too.
You must've gone through a lot.
Thank you.
Hyeon Woo, you look good.
Yes. I'm fine.
It's not easy to run into each other like this.
We should go eat together.
What do you think, Ji Young?
Are you okay with that?
We just met Joon Seo after a long time.
I don't feel like saying goodbye yet.
Let's do that.
Let's go, Joon Seo.
The beach.
That's where we first met.
Dad saved Mom's life.
Jae Wook...
saved my life.
So I told Jae Wook...
to come to the place of our precious memories,
and he really came.
Thank you, honey.
That you didn't forget it.
Eat a lot.
I heard you should eat a balanced diet.
Thank you.
Ma'am.
- Yes? - When...
can I go to your place again?
Joon Seo.
I want to go to her place.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
I just keep thinking about it.
When I think of their place, I feel happy.
Then will you come to our house?
Don't just say that so easily.
I mean...
When kids say something immature,
you should reason with him.
You can't just say yes to everything.
I'm sorry.
She's being a little sensitive now.
Let me apologize instead.
No, it's okay.
That was careless of me.
You like this, right?
How did you know?
I like it too.
- Enjoy it. - You too.
I'd like to pay the bill.
- Okay. - Let me pay.
No, I'll do that.
Please let him buy Hyeon Woo a meal.
Okay then.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
Okay.
Wait with the kids for a moment.
Ji Young wants to talk to me.
It won't take long.
Okay.
I'll wait outside with the kids.
Did you talk to your in-laws about Joon Seo?
I was...
going to tell you at the office tomorrow.
Did they say no?
Father...
cares about Hyeon Woo a lot.
He wanted Hyeon Woo to be Kim Joon Gi.
I said I would give up everything.
That's how you feel now,
but the heart of a person is very crafty.
It keeps changing.
You don't trust me?
I won't lie about my son.
I told you.
That's how you feel now,
but you might change your mind over time.
You already did it.
You said you wouldn't see Joon Seo.
But you brought him to your place.
What should I do to make you trust me?
Father loves law.
So I need documents.
When you're about to lose your son,
I asked you to sign a document relinquishing your parental rights.
You said you'd never forgive me.
You're right.
But...
to convince Father,
that's what I actually need.
He'd sign a document...
just to buy a brick.
I'll prepare the documents.
I'll give you a written promise if you want.
I'll do anything to convince him.
Just tell me the documents you need.
My grandpa told me...
that I should use a compass...
to find my way when I have a hard time.
Then... You're sick now.
So you should keep this.
No. I want you to keep it.
I've had it for a long time.
You can give it...
back to me when you get better.
Okay.
Joon Seo seems...
to be fond of Hyeon Woo. I feel relieved to see that.
He likes Hyeon Woo a lot.
Hyeon Woo likes him too.
Hyeon Woo once told me...
not to ask Joon Seo...
for help for his treatment.
He doesn't want to be a brother who always takes things from him.
Then...
Is it...
I'll make sure Hyeon Woo won't be hurt.
Okay.
Thank you.
Joon Seo, let's go.
Okay, Mom.
Bye, Hyeon Woo.
See you later.
Okay. Bye.
Bye.
Bye. I'll see you around.
- Joon Seo. - Yes?
My mom wants to say goodbye to you.
Say bye to him, Mom.
Bye.
Bye, Joon Seo.
Please don't be so sad.
Hyeon Woo is strong, so he will get better soon.
Okay. Thank you, Joon Seo.
I won't be sad.
Hyeon Woo, did you hear that?
You have to get better.
Okay.
Joon Seo, take care and stay strong.
Okay. Thank you.
All right.
We should go.
Hyeon Woo's mom cries...
whenever she sees me.
That's because Hyeon Woo is sick.
I wish Hyeon Woo weren't sick.
Because he's sick,
I feel like crying.
That's sweet.
Joon Seo.
You must like Hyeon Woo a lot.
He'll get better.
He'll be better and play with you a lot.
Can he come over to our place again?
Sure.
You're so sweet.
"Hyeon Woo Comes Home"
Hae Ji.
Hello.
What brings you here at this hour?
I need to talk to Hyeon Woo.
It's cold. How long did you wait?
Let's go inside.
It's okay. I'll just talk to Hyeon Woo for a moment.
Hyeon Woo, did you do something wrong?
No, I didn't do anything wrong.
I'm kidding.
Come in once you're done talking. Let's go.
I don't have anything to tell you.
You don't?
No.
Hey. Gyeol Ja Hae Ji.
It's you, right?
What are you talking about?
You don't know what I mean?
You're being ridiculous.
I'll give you a chance to correct it.
So answer it correctly.
You.
You're Gyeol Ja Hae Ji, right?
I don't know what you mean.
You're a coward.
All right. Okay.
I know what you're like now.
This is over.
Take care.
I'm sorry.
Hae Ji.
I'm home, Mother.
Okay. Where's Joon Seo?
He fell asleep on the way home,
so Jae Wook took him to his room.
So is everything okay?
Yes. We had fun.
Are you trying to protest against Dad using Joon Seo as a shield?
How dare I protest against Father?
I'm home, Father.
You said all you want...
is to live as Joon Seo's mom, right?
Then you should live like that.
Make sure to raise him well.
Why aren't you answering me?
She's smart and competent. Why would you only let her be a housewife?
That's how I've lived,
but we should have our children do what they want.
Father.
I'll try hard so you can acknowledge me again.
I said I would acknowledge you once you've thrown away your greed.
Other than that, there's no other way...
you can make me acknowledge you.
You must be tired. Go get some rest.
Good night, Mother.
She didn't let go of her greed.
Her eyes say it all.
Stop bothering her.
She can't even breath because of her in-laws.
You should stop siding with her.
You know why Dad is being like this.
He's doing this for Jae Wook.
This is the only chance to exhaust her.
If we let it slide like this again,
no one will be able to stop her.
He's doing this because he knows it.
Jae Wook isn't a pushover or something.
That's not true.
What do you know about Jae Wook?
Joon Seo isn't coughing? He was in the cold wind.
He's asleep.
You still...
remember the beach.
Thank you.
I really mean it.
Don't you dare disappear with Joon Seo again.
You won't be able to see Joon Seo again.
I just went on a trip with my son.
I'm telling you not to use Joon Seo.
I'm warning you.
It's Ji Young who is trying...
to use Joon Seo.
She wants Joon Seo's bone marrow.
She couldn't see her son for 10 years, so it must've been hard.
You compared me with her saying that...
when I didn't want to send Joon Seo to her.
But after all,
to Ji Young, Joon Seo is...
just a donor for Hyeon Woo.
That's what he means...
to Ji Young.
So?
What did you say?
I said I would agree.
You'd never say that...
without any conditions.
What conditions can I ask for?
Can I ask her not to see Joon Seo again?
Is that it?
I wanted to do that.
But...
do I really need the condition?
Even without the condition,
do you think Ji Young...
will see Joon Seo ever again?
Listen.
If Ji Young doesn't have the right to see Joon Seo,
it means I don't have the right to raise Joon Seo.
It means, as long as I'm raising Joon Seo,
Ji Young gets to see Joon Seo.
You wanted to take Joon Seo away from me who I've raised.
But how could you be so generous to Ji Young?
It makes me feel the futility of life.
Just agree to donate the bone marrow with no conditions.
If Joon Seo finds out that Hyeon Woo is his brother,
he will want to do that.
So you are saying you don't want to help me.
I've raised your son for the past 10 years.
It depends on what you do from now on.
Okay.
We should save his life anyway.
I'll think about it later.
Earlier today,
what did you talk about with Na Kyung?
A few days ago,
I asked her to agree to donate Joon Seo's bone marrow.
You did?
She said she'd talk to her father-in-law.
So I asked her how it went.
What did she say?
She didn't give me a definite answer yet.
I know why she's being like that.
Her father-in-law wanted to take Hyeon Woo.
He'd want...
Hyeon Woo to be Kim Joon Gi to get the bone marrow.
I see.
We should...
send Hyeon Woo to them.
That's how you feel, right?
You think that's the only way.
Can you really do that?
If you can, I have to put up with it.
If that's what you can do,
I can't become selfish saying no.
As long as we can save Hyeon Woo,
I will let them get their own way. I'll give them everything.
We're okay with that.
I know...
what Hyeon Woo means to you.
Hyeon Woo...
is our son.
Hyeon Woo knows that, and we know that.
That's all we need.
It's not like we have to live together.
Honey.
Let's send Hyeon Woo to them...
and go on trips together.
We can see Hyeon Woo live happily from time to time.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry to do this to you.
I'm sorry that I couldn't protect him.
I should've...
protected Joon Seo for you.
I shouldn't have sent him like that.
I'm sorry.
That was immature of me.
If...
Hyeon Woo lives...
a happy life with Joon Seo,
I just can't be happier.
Let's...
do that for him.
Are you still up?
I just woke up.
Hey, you're breaking out in a cold sweat.
Did you have a nightmare?
Please hold my hand, Dad.
Okay.
Do you want me to sleep with you?
Dad.
I...
don't want to go to the hospital.
Hyeon Woo.
When I'm in the hospital,
I don't feel quite like myself.
When I wake up from my sleep,
a few days have passed.
And I can't think of anything.
I really hate it.
I know how you feel.
You like to think.
You don't even want to waste time sleeping.
So you like to play alone all night.
I know how much you like...
those things.
- Dad. - I will...
make it continue to happen.
In order to do that,
you should also go through hard times.
This is nothing.
Let's just think that way.
I heard there's someone to donate a bone marrow.
It's not Joon Seo, right?
- Hyeon Woo. - I heard that from the doctor.
There are two donors who can get me a bone marrow.
One of them...
is not Joon Seo, right?
You said...
you don't want to be a brother who always takes things from Joon Seo.
Right.
If you...
receive help from Joon Seo,
you can repay it later.
Like in 10 times or 20 times.
I didn't even pay him back what I got 10 years ago yet.
Joon Seo will hate me.
And he will hate Mom.
I know how you feel.
Just trust us...
and work out hard.
I'll train you starting tomorrow. Be prepared for that.
(Yangpyeong Court)
I'm here to submit an adoption application.
(Adoption Application)
(Application for Dissolution of Adoption)
How may I help you?
What is it regarding?
I'm here...
to apply for the dissolution of adoption.
(Episode 36 will air shortly.)
(Episode 36)
Let's speed up.
- More? - Yes.
Follow me.
Hurry up.
One.
Now, two.
Three.
Tighten your tummy.
How many are we doing?
100.
This is hard.
Gosh, I'm tired.
You're tired?
Son!
Come on. Let's not be corny.
It's been a few days since we saw each other.
At least, give me a hug.
Good work, son.
You look haggard.
Was it hard?
I just couldn't sleep enough.
You know I can't sleep during a flight.
Thanks for your hard work.
I'm proud of you.
You heard the news already?
I know if it's good news or bad news...
just by looking into your eyes.
I shouldn't underestimate your gut feelings, should I?
Tell me the good news quickly.
I've got the investment deal.
Investment guidelines will be sent.
The global companies, NCD and MS Global Investment,
will collaborate as shareholders.
What about your position?
I'm taking the management rights.
Well done.
I'm so proud of you.
I'll go talk with Uncle.
I need to report this to him.
All right. Report directly to him from now on.
MS Global Investment?
The chief investment officer...
will be coming with the investment papers.
Seung Hoon.
Yes, Uncle.
I admit to your skills.
But Wall Street is like a dog-eat-dog jungle.
Like thin ice or a powder keg.
It's too dangerous for you to step foot deeply inside.
Investment holds risks anyway.
Minimizing those risks...
depends on...
how they value their investment.
Right, we'll find out what they want...
once we talk to the person in charge.
I'll get involved if it seems dangerous.
Of course.
I'm testing my capabilities...
all thanks to your support.
Okay.
Let's talk about this again when we get the papers. Good job.
Thank you for trusting me.
- Welcome back. - Seung Hoon!
Great job.
It's all thanks to you.
We have a lot of work to do from now on.
But let's have fun today.
- Okay. - Cheers.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
We're closed.
Where's Hwang Ma Ri?
Ma Ri? She doesn't work here anymore.
She quit working here? Why?
She went down to another city...
to get back together with her ex-husband.
What in the world...
- When? - Around four days ago?
The number you dialed doesn't exist.
Please check again...
Are you kidding me?
What? What do you mean?
Tell her to come out right now.
All I know is that she went to another city.
Tell me where she is.
What's wrong with you? This is a place of business.
Tell me, or I'll smash everything here.
(Sehan Bank, Hwang Ma Ri)
So she knows how to act her age,
seeing how she has my word on it.
Whom are you talking about?
Mom, don't you know any nice woman...
for Seung Hoon?
You know he doesn't like getting set up.
He hates it when I do it,
but he won't refuse it if you arrange someone with him.
Why are you so trustless to your son?
When it comes to women.
He thinks I'm trying to sell him off on marriage.
Gosh.
Now that he's getting an important position in the company,
he better settle down with a nice woman.
The madam is worried about Seung Hoon too.
She wishes he marries someone nice.
Find someone for him.
Someone with a warm heart who's been adored by her family.
Someone who will make Seung Hoon smile all the time.
Is that all you want?
I don't want anything else.
You know I've resented my father all my life...
for making me go through a marriage of convenience.
I don't want my son to resent his mom all his life.
All right. I'll look for someone.
Hyeon Woo, let's go exercise.
What's this? You're still in bed?
Wake up already. We need to go exercise.
Dad, give me a break just for today.
Don't be a crybaby.
I'm not being a crybaby.
My arms and legs are sore.
All right. Let me see.
It feels tight.
Good. We're exercising 30 more minutes from today on.
Dad.
You better move swiftly if you don't want additional time added.
I'll get up.
There.
You feel quite heavy now.
We should take your weight first.
Hyeon Woo.
You can do it.
You can do it, Hyeon Woo.
We're almost there.
Let's run. You can do it.
A little more.
Give this...
to Woo Na Kyung.
It's what those people want.
This will be enough.
Let's think only about Hyeon Woo.
Like we did in the past.
That's...
what we should do as his parents.
(Application for Dissolution of Adoption)
(Adoptee: Song Hyeon Woo)
Good thinking.
My father-in-law will understand how you feel...
when he sees this.
Hyeon Woo will get hospitalized soon.
Okay.
One more thing.
(Written Promise)
Sign here.
(I, Seo Ji Young, will not claim any rights regarding Joon Seo.)
(I will not draw any objections against Hyeon Woo's name change.)
(I will not show myself before Joon Seo nor Hyeon Woo.)
You may think it's cruel,
but it's the promise you made...
in return for donating Joon Seo's marrow.
I'll keep it to myself.
Like 10 years ago,
this will be my insurance.
At that time, you told me...
that you'd raise Joon Seo like your own child.
I'll tell you the same thing.
I'll raise them well.
Both Joon Seo and Hyeon Woo.
Hyeon Woo has a nice personality,
so he might be on good terms with Joon Seo.
I see.
I trust you.
My father-in-law wants to send Hyeon Woo abroad for his studies.
Jae Wook went to study abroad and finished college...
when he was Hyeon Woo's age.
He wants Hyeon Woo to follow the same route.
Once he gets fully treated,
he might go study abroad.
You think I'm cold-hearted?
No.
I'm glad.
What do you mean?
Hyeon Woo will go to high school...
and go to college.
I'm happy for it.
Wherever he is,
he'll be healthy.
That's all I want.
That's good enough.
Will you continue with your show?
I think I'll have to until Hyeon Woo fully recovers.
That's what he wants.
If I quit now,
it might not help with his treatment.
Okay.
I understand.
What's taking you so long?
We're done.
Call me when he gets hospitalized.
What did you talk about with her?
Why don't we go out for a meal?
Ms. Ahn, the chief director wants you...
to do a live broadcast.
Why all of a sudden?
This might be fun, sharing opinions with the viewers live.
What do you think?
I don't know. It's too sudden.
She did live broadcasts for years, so it's not a problem for her.
I'm rather worried about you, Director Jung.
You're the only one who worries about me.
Why don't we come up with a nice idea and go ahead with it?
Think wisely. Your career could be ruined all at once.
Okay.
Eat slowly.
I'm hungry.
How is Hyeon Woo doing?
Did you find the donor?
Yes.
Tell me the truth.
Is it Joon Seo?
- Joo Ryun. - For Joon Seo to donate his marrow,
he needs his mother's consent.
She took Joon Seo away from you,
so there's no way she'd give her consent for free.
What's the condition this time?
On condition not to meet Joon Seo ever again.
Is that all?
What more there can be?
So she wants to keep the child.
I'd be thankful even if she demanded more.
Hyeon Woo can live,
so what can't I give?
My caring heart for Joon Seo...
is nothing important...
compared to Hyeon Woo's life.
I wish I can tell the world about this.
Tell what kind of person Woo Na Kyung is...
and ruin her life for good.
You might be able to find Joon Seo back that way.
Hyeon Woo will die before then.
You can't let her do as she please even if it's for your child.
- Aren't you going to eat? - I lost my appetite.
I'll eat it then.
[VIU Ver] MBC E36 A Pledge to God "Ji Young Makes Up Her Mind" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Welcome home, Father.
I already had dinner.
Want me to fill the bathtub?
I'll just take a shower.
There's something I need to tell you, Father.
What is it about?
I told you I'd get your grandson back.
(Application for Dissolution of Adoption)
(Certificate of Adoption)
How did you...
Mr. Song...
agreed on reversing the adoption.
Did he take the property?
No, Father.
He says he cares only about Hyeon Woo's future.
He didn't raise Hyeon Woo...
in hopes to get compensation.
I could understand how he felt.
That's a parent's heart.
Raising Joon Seo,
I felt the same way.
He refused it so much at first,
so why did he change his mind?
It was wrong of us to offer compensation.
After Hyeon Woo visited our house,
there was a change in his heart.
Mr. Song found out...
and thought over it.
Is this the end...
of the issue then?
Everything will be over once my husband reports recognition.
But why don't we take some time on it?
He won't be willing to do it.
Things could get complicated,
so let me persuade him in time.
You will?
Okay, well done.
I'll work harder...
to support your purpose.
Like I raised Joon Seo,
I'll raise Hyeon Woo with all my heart.
I learned a huge lesson from you.
I'll be more humble.
I'll work on the employees' welfare too.
Please forgive me.
Okay, good job.
Thank you, Father.
You're home.
Are you in a good mood?
Because the shooting went well today.
The viewership might go up too.
Does it mean you'll focus on broadcasts from now on?
Good thinking.
You need to hold onto something to feel secure.
You better keep Seung Hoon under control.
What?
Once the alliance breaks,
which side do you think will go in favor?
In order for our alliance to stay in balance,
you'll need to offer some more.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Hide your tail well so I don't catch you.
What made her back alive?
You're late.
Are you going to Seoul now?
Yes, I'm here to go with you.
Have a seat.
Did you talk to Na Kyung...
about Joon Seo?
Na Kyung said she'd give her consent.
Really?
Yes, Mom.
Why so easily though?
Didn't she demand anything?
There's nothing I can give.
I know you...
and Na Kyung, that brat.
Did you tell her you wouldn't see Joon Seo again?
It's right that way.
It was my greed all along.
Ji Young...
I won't see him...
even if they let me.
I shouldn't see him.
He'll come see you when he grows up.
He'll understand it all...
and compensate your...
for all your painful experiences.
Right.
I can wait until then.
It's cold.
Let's go.
Do you...
want Hyeon Woo to live here?
Of course, I do.
Having him here for a few days...
is already making me feel the void.
He shouldn't be living here though.
Think about his mom.
Her life must have been so painful for the last 10 years...
after giving up on Joon Seo.
Being greedy over Hyeon Woo too...
is not the right thing to do.
What if Hyeon Woo's parents send him here?
If they do,
then they must have some kind of reason.
Right.
They must have some kind of reason.
(Cheonji Group)
The chairman is coming.
Why didn't you call me to your office?
I should keep you in check so you don't let your guard down.
Are you here to keep me in check?
Don't let anyone in the office.
Yes, sir.
Have a seat.
Did something happen?
(Application for Dissolution of Adoption)
You promised you wouldn't do this.
Your wife brought it to me.
What?
After I found out about who Joon Seo's real mom was,
I didn't say anything more about Hyeon Woo.
But she said that family brought this to her first.
What did she tell you while giving you this?
She wanted her position back.
I buried it,
but they volunteered to do it, so there must be a reason.
You know what it is, right?
What is it?
I'll talk to my wife.
What do you know?
I didn't tell you in case you'd worry.
Tell me the truth.
What's your scheme?
Hyeon Woo...
has had a relapse.
You mean, his leukemia?
Yes.
Oh, my.
Goodness.
I think my wife had them sign here...
in exchange for Joon Seo's marrow donation.
His life depends on this.
My grandson's life.
How dare she pull a scheme with it?
I won't tolerate any longer.
Get rid of her right this instant.
(A Pledge to God)
To survive, Mother.
I won't tolerate your desire to survive any longer.
Reveal everything about her and kick her out of the house.
I'm getting admitted to a hospital tomorrow.
I'll make sure to treat you. Trust your grandpa.
I want to live too.
He said such a thing?
I'd like you to help Hyeon Woo out.
He said Hyeon Woo is my brother.
Did you tell that little child to donate?
Are you worried he might suffer?
I raised him myself. He's my son!
As of today, live only as Joon Seo's mom.
Or your life and career will be doomed.
Are you telling me to get divorced?
You told me to live in the fire pit together, right?
Let's do that.
