A single man and a single woman fell in love and decided to get married.
It's nothing out of the ordinary.
What part don't you understand?
Was that enough of an explanation for you?
Can you congratulate us on our marriage?
I want to invite you to the wedding,
but I better not.
There will be reporters, but above all,
it will be awkward for you to face your ex-mother-in-law.
Are you the Yu Ra that I know?
You're not this type of person.
Jin Woo...
used to be my husband.
You're right. I'm not that type of person.
I can't compare myself to an unrefined woman like you,
who got divorced for cheating on her husband,
then shamelessly came to argue at the news...
that he's getting remarried.
Jin Woo got a divorce, and you two are legally strangers now.
So whether he gets remarried or not is none of your business.
Don't tell me you thought...
I'd beg for your mercy.
Why would I? I did nothing wrong.
Strictly speaking, you're the one who committed an affair, Soo Yeon.
I must've trusted you too much.
I thought you of all people...
would know how I feel.
How would I know?
I've never had an affair.
Can you stop saying that? I never cheated on him.
The fact won't change even if you keep denying it.
But you're more skilled than you look.
I doubt there are rumors yet.
Is there a spy in Jin Woo's house?
Don't worry about Seo Jun.
I'll raise him well, so take your mind off him.
And if you plan on interfering with our marriage,
I'm telling Seo Jun...
all those filthy things you did.
Keep that in mind.
Don't mess with Seo Jun.
I won't sit back and watch if you do.
You can't be with him or even protect him. Do you still call yourself his mom?
You used Seo Jun to threaten me.
How could you talk about being a mom?
If you really cared so much for him, you wouldn't say those things.
I'm Seo Jun's mom now, not you.
Me. I'm his mom.
No, I'm going to take Seo Jun with me.
And I'll be the one to raise him.
Who says you can do that?
Jin Woo.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I must've been out of my mind.
I lost it when she said she was going to take Seo Jun.
I'm sorry. I fully understand how you feel.
Please don't misunderstand. I don't plan to steal him from you.
Jin Woo and I started going out after he divorced you.
It's the truth. Please believe me.
Stop it. There's no need to explain everything.
You've become shameless ever since we got a divorce.
Or are you revealing your true colors after hiding them for seven years?
And who said you could take Seo Jun with you?
You don't have any legal rights.
And morally, even less so.
I don't intend to leave Seo Jun to you even in the future, so quit dreaming.
- Honey. - Stop calling me that.
We're no longer in that kind of relationship.
You're free to marry Yu Ra,
so I have no right to say anything about it.
But Seo Jun is a different story.
We only just got a divorce. But if you get remarried now,
Seo Jun will be the most confused.
It's only right...
to give him time to think.
I'm not telling you not to get married. Just give him some more...
What a great excuse.
You care so much about Seo Jun,
and yet, you messed around with a guy at a hotel.
She cares and loves Seo Jun more than you do.
Don't accuse her of being that wicked stepmother in fairy tales.
Yu Ra is a thousand times nicer than you are.
If you threaten her one more time,
I'll sue you for it, so be careful.
Let's go.
Have a drink, Soo Yeon.
Booze does the trick when you have too much on your mind.
Here.
Come on, girl. Lighten up.
What happened? You were getting better.
He's getting remarried.
Who?
Jin Woo.
Hey, there's no such thing as one true love. It's only natural.
But when?
Soon.
That's not right. It hasn't been long since he divorced you.
Who is he marrying? Do you know her?
The woman who was scouted from the US.
The one who lived with us.
You mean the woman in that recent photo?
But you denied it. You said they weren't a thing.
You fool!
They fell in love even before your divorce.
If not, how can this happen?
I guess I let my guard down.
I never thought that could be possible.
You really didn't?
Didn't you find anything fishy?
Someone like Jin Woo.
Jin Woo is my ideal type.
Forget it.
You're already divorced.
There's nothing you can do even if you found out now.
It's making me furious. Seriously.
They're the ones who had an affair...
but pinned it on you.
I'm okay, Young Ji.
I don't care about any of it.
But Seo Jun.
Suddenly getting a stepmother...
will confuse him.
It won't do him any good emotionally.
Didn't you say he's fond of her?
So isn't it better for her to become his stepmother...
than some woman he's never met?
Under the premise that she doesn't mistreat him.
She won't.
She adored him.
Young Ji, what if...
Seo Jun forgets me?
Why would he? You're his mom.
There's no way he'd forget you.
I can't see him. And we can barely talk...
on the phone.
So he could forget about me.
I'm afraid he might think of her...
as his mom, not me.
I'm scared.
We're going to take our time moving out.
- Is that okay with you? - Yes.
Seo Jun is going to study abroad soon.
So I want us to be together before that day comes.
No one thinks about the family more than she does. Aren't I right?
Mommy!
Gosh, he's so noisy!
Hey, Seo Jun! Quiet down!
Do something about him, Jin Woo. He does this every night.
He's a kid. Can't you put up with it?
I'll put him to bed.
- Go rest, Jin A. - Mommy!
Seriously!
Mommy!
- Stop crying, Seo Jun. - Mommy.
It's okay.
- Mommy. - It's okay.
No. I don't like you.
Mommy!
Stop crying, Seo Jun.
Or I'll scold you. Now stop!
- Mommy! - You should calm him, not tell him off.
He's crying harder now.
Stop crying.
Daddy, I miss Mommy.
Mommy!
Okay, I get it. So stop crying.
Did you find out anything today?
I met his mother.
How? Did she come home?
She sent a package to him.
So I paid a visit to the address that was on it.
And so? Was he there?
No, but...
it seemed like she knew where he was.
I'm going to stop by again tomorrow.
Ms. Lee!
Why are you here again?
It won't take long.
Spare me a little of your time to talk.
No. I've got nothing to say.
Be careful!
- Are you okay? - Yes.
I can get up by myself.
Goodness.
I won't say a thing, so let me help you.
We'll have it tough if a bone breaks at our age.
Now slowly.
Here.
Are you feeling better?
Thank you. I owe you one.
Don't mention it.
(Big Brother's Wife)
Why don't you get going now?
Okay. You should rest,
so I'll leave for the day.
Is it you, Tae Hoon?
I'll take the strawberries and tomatoes.
Sure.
Give me one more of each.
But in a separate bag.
Why do you look so pale?
Are you eating properly?
I'm not a kid. Stop worrying about me.
What on earth have you been up to?
Are you hiding these days...
because of your friend Yoo Soo Yeon?
Her father is dropping by every single day.
I can help only if you tell me what happened.
Tomorrow.
Everything will be over by tomorrow.
How's your leg?
Why are you wandering around? Just stay at home.
Gosh.
Ms. Lee.
Why are you here again?
I'm telling you, my son isn't here.
I bought some fruit on my way home...
and came to share them with you.
I'm good. I don't eat fruit.
Take them home.
Eat it when you're bored.
I hope your leg gets better soon.
If you need any help, don't hold back and call me.
You'll be in worse trouble if you hurt yourself more...
doing things alone.
He went into this alley,
so I'm sure he lives around here.
I can't knock on all doors just to return this.
I'm starving.
Wait.
I thought we wouldn't meet again.
Same here.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to remember how we know each other.
Because I'm also sure...
that we've met somewhere before.
Is this the police?
I'm reporting a drunk driver.
Are you the man who falsely reported me as a drunk driver?
Do you remember everything in your favor?
It was my first time going to a police station.
I was dead scared.
It was also my first time breaking a car door...
with a fire extinguisher.
I knew it. She only remembers what's favorable to her.
Breaking a car door...
with a fire extinguisher?
Are you okay?
We met in the worst moments of my life.
I can't thank you enough for that time.
I don't enjoy others' misfortunes.
But...
every time I see you, you seem to be in misfortune.
So let's not run into each other anymore.
Excuse me, wait. Here.
I don't use things used by others.
Throw it away.
But...
Ms. Lee, I brought some beef leg bones...
You...
- You're Tae Hoon, right? - Yes.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Hey, so I'm...
Soo Yeon's dad.
You know her, right? Yoo Soo Yeon.
Yes.
I have some questions for you.
I'm not going to do anything to you.
Just tell me the truth.
I didn't know...
that things would get this out of hand.
I feel...
so sorry to Soo Yeon.
It's not too late.
Please tell me the truth.
Just promise me something.
Please don't do anything until I leave Korea.
Don't go to the press with this or anything.
I promise.
I'll make sure...
to take care of this...
without putting you in harm's way.
So please...
Please just tell me the truth.
A small wedding?
Yes. Jin Woo and I were thinking that it would be nice to just invite...
close family and friends.
I have no objections if that's what you two want,
but wouldn't your parents be sad?
You're their only child. They must want to throw you a big wedding.
They'll understand.
They always respect my opinions.
I told you. She's in a meeting.
What's that noise?
Yoo Soo Yeon's father is here.
Call security.
Tell her that I'm going to go to the press.
Never mind. Let him in.
(Chairman's Office)
I'll head out.
Wait.
I don't know who you are, but stay there.
I need a witness.
I don't know why you're here, but you're behaving inappropriately.
I could call the police.
I don't care.
Go ahead.
I have to say something before the police come.
Please sit.
What are you doing?
Apologize to Soo Yeon.
I was just with Jung Tae Hoon.
Soo Yeon's friend from college.
Then you should know very well that I shouldn't be the one to apologize.
Chairman Cha made me do all of that.
The day before the reunion, a man came up to me...
with an envelope full of cash and made me an offer.
He even gave me the sleeping pills I put in her drink.
I only did what I was told.
I was told to drug Soo Yeon, take her to a hotel,
and take her photos to produce evidence.
Soo Yeon was accused of giving me her car,
but it was the man that handed me the keys.
Please tell Soo Yeon I'm sorry.
Let me ask you one last time.
Were you and Soo Yeon ever in a relationship?
No. Never.
I swear.
So you're saying,
the affair was completely fabricated?
Yes. It was all Chairman Cha's idea.
Do you still have nothing to say?
I don't want much.
Admit to fabricating the affair...
and apologize to Soo Yeon.
I refuse.
Look here.
How can you say that after listening to this recording?
I don't know who the man speaking in that recording is,
but I never ordered anyone to do such dirty things.
It's Jung Tae Hoon.
Soo Yeon's college friend.
You might have thought that you could fool me...
by bringing me this recording, claiming it was Soo Yeon's college friend.
But you thought wrong.
Look here. You were the one behind it all.
I already told you that I didn't.
Now, let me ask you something.
You're making obscene accusations with only a recording,
but couldn't you have fabricated this recording?
What?
Then let's find out...
if it's fabricated or not.
Go ahead.
Okay. Well, then.
I'll see you in court.
No. Actually,
you'll see it in the newspaper first.
I think we'll have to postpone the wedding.
What do you mean?
Weren't you listening?
Things are going to get messy if he goes to the press.
You said it had nothing to do with you.
Isn't that enough?
Sometimes, rumors are scarier than the truth.
The rumors, in combination with the news of your wedding,
will make his lies seem like the truth.
Then, things will get out of hand.
I want to get married. I don't want to postpone it.
Do you want to get married that badly?
Yes.
Then...
what do you think about taking care of this on your own?
What do you mean...
It means, do not let lies be seen as the truth.
Follow him and deal with this quietly.
You want me to do that?
If you get married, you'll have to take care of this family someday.
You'll need guts and courage.
Let's see how capable you are...
of being my daughter-in-law.
Forget it if you think you can't do it.
No. I can do it.
I'll do it.
Mr. Kim. Go bring me that punk, Jung Tae Hoon, immediately.
("Classical Music for Beginners")
This book explains classical music in a way that's easy to understand.
I don't like this kind of music. It's boring.
I start yawning and get sleepy when I listen to it.
Mi Sook, you said you wanted to look sophisticated.
Classical music is very sophisticated.
Honestly, trot music is the best kind of music.
It's so addicting and makes you want to dance.
Listen to one song, and all of your stress goes away.
Your body just craves it.
Let's get rid of some stress before we start studying.
Dae Chul. Sing us a song.
Why are you being so weird, Mi Sook?
Sing.
I can't.
- I'm coming in if you don't come out - Boom, clap
I'll give you ten dollars.
- Hey, it's not... - This is so fun!
Yes, Dad.
Are you okay to talk?
Yes, just for a moment.
Did something happen?
I called you because I have good news.
Soon,
you will get to see Seo Jun.
Seo Jun?
That's right.
How, Dad? Is it true?
One second, Soo Yeon.
I'll call you again later.
I'll explain everything to you then, so just trust me.
I'm hanging up now.
Dad...
Can we talk for a moment?
Whose side are you on?
I'm asking if you can be a witness for me...
if Chairman Cha tries to claim that she doesn't know anything about this.
Chairman Cha says she'll give you a blank check.
Write in whatever amount you want.
Isn't that better than some insincere apology?
I'm trying...
to give my daughter something...
more valuable than money.
What if Soo Yeon says she likes money more than apologies?
It's possible.
My daughter is not that kind of person.
Give me the recording.
I'll try using the recording to negotiate with Chairman Cha.
You already showed your intentions when you brought up money.
That would be like trusting a cat with my fish.
Chairman Cha is a scary woman.
You could get hurt. So take the money...
I don't want...
to argue with you, so stop.
- Let go of me. - How can I stop?
My life is ruined because of you.
What do you mean?
Give me your phone.
I promise I'll get Chairman Cha to apologize.
What can I do to get you to trust me?
It's no use.
Give Chairman Cha this message.
Don't try to buy us with money.
I'm not going to budge one bit.
Let her know that she can't persuade or threaten me.
I'm going...
to help Soo Yeon...
clear her name or die trying.
Okay. Die.
Oh, no.
(My Daughter)
Hello? Dad.
Dad?
Dad, it's me, Soo Yeon.
Dad?
Dad, can you not hear me?
Dad!
(Gold Mask)
Why do you keep calling for your dad?
Oh, gosh.
Sweetie, you've been acting weird the last couple of days.
I heard there was an accident.
How do you know about that, honey?
What do I do, Chairman Cha?
First, give that to me.
Do you not trust me?
He was fine when he left this morning...
Did you meet my dad?
What do you want to know?
I have something to ask...
Yu Ra?
