(Episode 24)
Taxi! Stop, taxi!
Yes, I took care of it.
- Darn it. - In the afternoon, make sure...
I'll see you at home.
Jan Di!
My gosh.
Are you all right?
Ms. Ok.
What's wrong? What happened?
My mom... They found her.
What? Are you serious?
I got a call from someone who said they found my mom.
They said they called because they saw the flyer my dad distributed.
Have you called your dad yet?
He left his phone at home.
Gosh, my grandma isn't even picking up.
Ms. Ok, what if my mom disappears again?
What if she goes somewhere far away again?
No, that won't happen. Jan Di, you need to calm down first.
Ms. Ok, I have to hurry up to go meet my mom.
My gosh. You don't even know where she is now.
No, I can't let you go alone.
Then what do I do?
Ms. Ok, then help me.
Please help me.
Ms. Ok, please help me. I must go see my mom...
I have to find my mom.
Ok Mi Rae.
I thought she'd say yes right away.
This isn't easy.
Ju Hyuk, let me know if you have any clothes that need to be washed.
I can wash them with these.
Don't you have to go to the bakery?
Well, I want to catch up on housework first.
Anyway, Ju Hyuk.
I heard Chairman Hwang was strongly against it.
Yes.
Then you and Mi Rae will have to be separated.
I feel so bad for you two.
I suggested she move to the US with me,
but she doesn't want to.
I guess she has a lot on her mind.
I get it.
Chairman Hwang doesn't approve of your relationship,
so she can't move to the US with you right now.
She must be walking on eggshells around Chairman Hwang now.
I understand her situation,
but I won't lie. My feelings are hurt.
Ju Hyuk.
How about we go out for dinner? It'll help us lift our spirits.
Where's Father?
He went out. He didn't even tell me where he was going.
I'm sorry. I have to meet someone too.
Oh, really?
What?
They can only do that day?
Okay. Go ahead and book the meeting.
All right, thanks.
Darn it.
Why does it have to be the day when I have the meeting with the buyers?
In any case, Hollywood is interested in the script I wrote.
I can't let this golden opportunity pass me by.
Well, I should go through the script again and try to improve it.
- What were you doing? - What?
Why did you close your laptop in such a hurry?
Oh, don't tell me you were writing another script.
Goodness.
No. I told you I'd never do it again.
I've been fooled too many times.
Hand it over.
I don't believe you until I see it for myself.
No, please. Don't be like this.
Honestly, you're so foolish.
Yesterday too.
You were so eager to help Ju Hyuk get a position at the head office.
Don't you know he'll steal your position?
You're digging your own grave.
No, Ju Hyuk would never do that. He'll help me out.
You think he'll help you?
Did you not see his eyes burning with ambition?
Ambition, my foot.
- Oh. - Goodness.
Hey, Ju Hyuk.
Now?
Speak of the devil.
You're not going anywhere, honey.
Today, I can't.
I'm sorry.
Do not go out.
Sir, can we go faster? Can you please drive faster?
Jan Di, he's already driving fast.
But still...
And I assure you that your mom won't go anywhere.
I spoke with the person who called you earlier.
They said your mom was safe with them,
so don't worry too much.
Are you anxious?
Yes.
I'm sure.
And I'm so nervous.
I have no idea what I'm going to say first when I meet Mom.
My mind is drawing a blank right now.
I bet you have no idea what it's like.
When you meet your mom again,
just give her a big hug first.
I'm sure it'll make her very happy.
Okay.
(Long-term Care Hospital)
I can't walk.
My legs are all wobbly.
And my heart is pounding too.
Jan Di.
Close your eyes.
My eyes? Why?
Just close your eyes.
Now, take a slow, deep breath.
And exhale.
One more time. Take a big breath.
You can open your eyes when you feel a bit better.
How do you feel? Do you feel better now?
Do you think you can meet her?
Let's go.
(Solsong Long-term Care Hospital)
Hello.
How may I help you?
We're here to see Ms. Lee Sun Ju.
Oh! We spoke on the phone earlier. Ms. Lee's family.
She's my mom.
Okay. You can follow me. This way, please.
Ms. Lee Sun Ju.
Your daughter is here.
You always said you missed your daughter.
Mom.
It's me, Jan Di.
Your daughter, Geum Jan Di.
Mom...
Daughter.
My daughter. You came.
Mom.
Mom...
Mom, I missed you.
I really missed you.
Where have you been?
Stop crying.
Min Ji.
My beautiful daughter, Min Ji.
I missed you so much too, Min Ji.
Mom.
It's me, Jan Di. Geum Jan Di.
Don't tell me you forgot my name.
Why do you keep calling me Min Ji?
My dear Min Ji.
Are you sure she is Ms. Lee Sun Ju?
Yes, I'm sure.
She said she had a daughter and used to be a pianist.
No, my mom wasn't a pianist. She was a ballerina.
Right, Mom?
You were so good at ballet, right?
Did she really say she was a pianist in the past?
Yes. She plays the piano in the hospital lounge from time to time.
No...
No, that can't be.
Why does your foot look so nice?
Your feet shouldn't look nice.
My mom did ballet for a long time.
Dad said Mom's feet looked ugly, like tree roots.
Ma'am.
My mom... She must've undergone foot surgery.
Right?
No...
Mom...
Mom, no...
No...
I checked again,
and their birthdays don't match.
My apologies.
Really?
But look at this picture.
And they have the same name.
How could they look so much alike?
Well, they do look alike,
but you should have confirmed it before you called.
Gosh, I know.
But that patient lost her memory after an accident,
so I couldn't really confirm it with her.
I just wanted to help her find her family soon.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
I owe that girl an apology too.
All right.
What did she say? She did undergo foot surgery, right?
I knew it.
That woman looked nothing like Mom in the photos I've seen.
She's ugly.
Jan Di.
Are you all right?
Of course, I'm fine.
Oh, Ms. Ok. I have a favor to ask.
A favor? What is it?
What happened today...
Please don't tell my dad.
Okay?
Well...
I'm here because I wanted to see you, but I guess I shouldn't have come.
I can see that Chan Ran is uncomfortable.
My goodness. Don't worry about it.
It's not like Chan Ran can avoid you forever.
The two of you should go back to being good friends, you know?
Yes, of course.
Sure thing, Father. Once Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk get married,
President Dong and I will become in-laws.
Of course, we should get along like the old days.
Right, President Dong?
Yes, we should.
Oh, my. I wonder how much he paid for this wild ginseng.
He said it was at least 50 years old.
My gosh. President Dong truly cares for Mr. Chairman.
He bought such rare ginseng for Mr. Chairman.
Mind your own business, will you?
I saw that Jun Pyo's room was messy. Could you tidy up?
Mr. Chairman said to carefully wash the ginseng and bring it to his room.
I'll take care of it, so go do your thing.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, my.
One, two, three, four...
Hold on. Grandfather can't finish all this ginseng by himself.
Let's see.
My gosh. This one's big.
Hide well, I can see your hair
No.
Hide well, I can see ginseng roots
My fingers smell like ginseng now.
My gosh.
Sir, you don't look as healthy as the last time I saw you.
The same goes for you. You look weary today.
No. I'm fine, sir. I'm just worried about you and Chan Ran.
Chan Ran, I can't believe you rejected such a thoughtful, caring man.
Chan Ran, you really should reconsider marrying President Dong.
Father, I already explained why I decided against it.
Please don't bring it up again, okay?
I'm coming in.
Yes, come in.
Here.
I cleaned the wild ginseng President Dong brought.
Grandfather, try one.
My gosh, you didn't have to bring anything.
There's nothing I can't get for Chairman Hwang.
I reached out to a ginseng gatherer in Mount Jiri to get it for you.
Chew it well, sir.
Thank you.
By the way, Mother.
I think I overheard you talking about someone remarrying.
Who? You, Mother?
Gosh, no.
I was talking about someone else.
Oh, I see.
(Building 5)
Jerk.
This jerk deserves to die.
He should be struck by lightning and die!
Gosh, I feel much better now.
Hey, what are you mumbling to yourself about?
Gosh, I'm so annoyed right now.
He went to Hawaii with this young girl.
With me, he didn't want to waste money and never even traveled domestically.
Don't be such a loser. Why are you spying on your ex-husband on social media?
You divorced him, so it's over now.
I'm scared he'll remarry before I do.
If that happens, I'll be so angry.
Then just get remarried before he does.
Oh, that reminds me. What's happening with that guy?
You said he looked like Hyun Bin. You bragged about him to Ms. Ok.
I haven't had a chance to confess my feelings.
To tell you the truth, I can't really tell him right now.
Let me warn you, just in case.
Hyun Bin... No. Even if he looks like Brad Pitt,
you definitely shouldn't date him if he has a kid.
Who are you to tell me what not to do?
Also, don't you know that times have changed?
Even those who have never been married before...
are cool about dating single parents.
Seeing what Kang San has had to deal with made me think a lot of things.
Issues involving a child are a lot to deal with.
If it's the child of someone I love,
I can naturally accept everything that comes with it.
What? This is awfully suspicious.
Don't tell me the guy you have a crush on is a single father.
What? Gosh, what are you saying?
Hold on.
Hello, Ms. Ok. What's up? It's the weekend.
What? At the academy?
Yes, I'm here with Jan Di now.
Jan Di and I had to go somewhere earlier.
She must've been very tired.
She fell asleep in the car.
I didn't know her address, so I brought her here.
My gosh. Then take her to my office.
Your office is locked.
Oh, right.
Have you called Kang San yet?
No, I couldn't call him.
Jan Di has his phone now.
Okay, then I'll just let her sleep here and wait for you.
Okay.
Where did she have to go with Jan Di?
Who was it? Ms. Ok?
Yes.
What did they have to do that Jan Di got so exhausted and fell asleep?
Did something happen?
She didn't tell me the details, but it's so odd.
She said she had no way of reaching Kang San. Go find him.
I'll go to the academy and get Jan Di.
Okay.
Gosh.
I should put something on first.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
- Ye Ju. - Hi.
- My gosh. - Did your interview go well?
This time, I have a good feeling about it.
Look forward to some good news.
Anyway, why are you here? Why didn't you go straight home?
My feet hurt because I wore heels, which I rarely do.
So I wanted to sit down for a moment.
I'll have to wear heels all day once I start working.
What should I do?
My goodness. Don't get too ahead of yourself.
Goodness.
Oh, hold on.
Jan Di called me so many times.
It's probably because I left my phone at home. Try calling her.
- Gosh, okay. - That's right.
She called me earlier too,
but I couldn't pick up because of the interview.
- What? - Really?
This is why no one was at your house. Everyone's here.
Hey, Ho Sik. What's up?
Jan Di is asleep at the academy right now.
What? Jan Di is there?
Why is she sleeping there? She wasn't supposed to go there today.
I'm not sure, either.
Kang San, my sister told me to fetch you immediately.
Okay. Mother, I'll be right back.
Yes, hurry. Go.
- Bye. - Bye.
- See you. - Bye.
- Mom. - Yes.
What if Jan Di kept calling us because something happened?
My gosh.
Gosh, my shoulder hurts so much.
That looks heavy. Do you need a hand?
No, it's fine.
I'll just clean my golf clubs before I head inside.
This is so heavy.
I'm sorry. You couldn't take the room because of me.
So you know.
I'm so stressed out,
having to share a room with my brother-in-law.
Two men sleeping side by side in that tiny room.
I don't feel rested when I wake up.
Good for you. You have the big room, all to yourself.
I bet you can sleep very comfortably.
All thanks to you, because you let me take the room.
I only let you take the room because of my nosy brother-in-law.
He can't even take care of himself,
yet he always has to have his finger in every pie.
He told me he was excited to share a room with you.
He said it'd help you guys bond.
Gosh. It'll take forever to clean these.
Well, let me help you.
All right.
I'm good at this.
Oh, that's expensive. Please be careful.
- Okay, sure. - Make sure it doesn't touch the ground.
Got it.
Mom.
Ms. Ok.
Yes, Jan Di.
I fell asleep in the taxi.
Did you carry me here?
Yes, you were fast asleep.
I didn't know your address, so I brought you here.
Ms. Jang will be here soon.
I can go home alone.
And...
you promised me...
not to tell anyone about going there to find my mom.
Well...
All right. I won't tell anyone.
And don't tell anyone that I cried and stuff.
If my dad finds out,
he'll be very sad.
I feel so bad for him.
He misses Mom way more than I do.
But you know...
I got so excited, thinking I found Mom.
I even cried, like an idiot.
If he finds out about that too,
my dad...
My dad...
All right.
I know how you feel.
So don't worry.
But you see,
I'm fine now.
I know that lady isn't my mom,
but I really am fine now.
Why do you keep meddling in that family's business?
At this rate, we might break up.
Must you waste your time on something so useless?
Just thinking that she's dead...
is way better for Jan Di's sake too.
Sang Soo.
I'm sorry.
Please refrain from getting involved...
in matters concerning Jan Di.
Pardon me?
