(Episode 43)
Did you forget? You're the one who gave up on Seo Jun's custody.
You know better than anyone else that I had no choice.
But you still made that choice.
You should have held out if you hated the idea.
My mom's life was on the line.
You can't take back what you said.
I can't give you Seo Jun. He is my grandson.
Get out.
You may be his grandmother, but I am his mother.
When will you know your place?
That's enough.
As Seo Jun's dad, come to your senses.
Think what will happen if you let such a low-life raise him.
Is this why you wanted me to wait?
Bring back Seo Jun at once. You hear me?
If you take Seo Jun, I won't remain still.
Cutting you some slack must have made you forget your place.
How dare you push your luck?
He's our son, Jin Woo.
Keep in mind our opinions matter more than your family's.
Didn't I tell you to leave? Get out now.
Do as she says.
Don't forget what I told you.
I will make Mr. Kim bring Seo Jun back to our house.
Don't do it.
Seo Jun wants to stay there.
He might get worse if we forcefully bring him back.
Give us time.
How much longer must I see you get dragged around?
Have some grit like my son should.
I will disown you the day you give her custody.
Then you will have to resign from that position as the president.
You know very well that I keep my word.
So bear in mind.
If you don't want to lead this company,
throw everything aside this instant.
How did it go?
I couldn't get it signed.
How come?
Cha Hwa Yeong barged into the room.
What now?
I'll try to persuade him again when I get a chance.
I'll refer you to a lawyer I know.
There must be a way.
Oh, right. Isn't Yoon Chul a lawyer specializing in divorce?
That's great.
Yes, you're right.
You two must be close for you to know...
Mr. Kang's friend.
I'm suddenly craving something sweet.
Mr. Kang, how about some coffee?
Sure.
And you, Ms. Yoo?
Yes, please.
- What was it like, Jin A? - Good.
Why are the both of you here?
Jin A had her commercial shoot today.
She came to boast about it.
Is that so? Did you do well?
Of course. Who am I? Your daughter.
I got showered with praise.
I'm glad to hear that.
Since you started it, give it your everything.
Don't worry.
I almost forgot. Director Ko...
invited you over for dinner. Get ready for it.
Dinner? Is it tonight?
I guess Jin Woo hasn't told you yet.
She invited you and Jin Woo.
She's going to ask Mr. Kang and Yoo Soo Yeon to come too.
What? For real? I want to go too.
But you weren't invited.
That doesn't matter.
Mom, I'm going to go shopping.
- Shopping? - I'm going to dress up from tip to toe...
and show Yoo Soo Yeon who's the boss.
Sit.
Come on, Mom.
I love you.
Hong Jin A!
(President Hong Jin Woo)
I do.
What?
I still have feelings...
for your husband.
She had an affair.
But if what Soo Yeon said was true...
Why aren't you getting ready?
For what?
The dinner invitation.
I heard from Mother.
Were you thinking of going alone?
And what if I was?
No, you can't.
We were both invited, so we should go together.
Welcome. Come in.
Welcome to Ko Mi Sook's house.
Thank you for inviting us.
It's nice to see you two together.
You're here too, Mr. Kang.
But I didn't invite you.
Anyway, welcome.
Here you go, Crazy...
I mean, I bought this because it reminded me of you.
Oh, my.
- Mr. Ko. - Yes?
Catch.
Dinner is ready.
Okay.
- Let's go. - Sure.
It's not much, but please enjoy and dig in.
I guarantee the taste.
Ms. Yoo is a master at cooking.
It's the skills she polished at our house for seven years.
What a shame. You're better off as a maid than a designer.
Why don't you quit that unfit job and just cook?
Even if the ingredients are the same,
people say a cook's skills and the cooking process...
determine the taste.
It looks appetizing, and it tastes good.
Isn't eating the food deliciously the best courtesy to the cook?
- Here. - Thanks.
Slow down, or you'll upset your stomach.
- Have some, Chairman Ko. - Okay.
This dish is my favorite.
Right.
Give it to me. I'll do it.
You're making me fall for you all over again.
(1 Unread Message)
Yoo must have been a maid in her previous life.
She's serving us right now.
It's been a while since it was just the two of us.
How about some wine?
Let's have a heart-to-heart conversation over a glass.
We can talk all we can without it.
What must I do...
to change your mind about our divorce?
Do you...
love me as a whole?
Of course.
I meant me, Hong Sun Tae, with my appearances and status...
on the side.
Yes.
If I ask you to throw away everything we have...
and live together in a quiet place,
will you say yes?
How can you...
How can you have no sense of reality?
Throw away everything? Even SA Group?
That's ridiculous.
This is why we can't be together anymore.
Though we got married...
according to our parents' wishes, I loved you when we first met.
But looking at you these days, you're not the woman I used to love.
After my father passed away,
do you remember how my brothers fought over the inheritance?
I couldn't understand them.
When I asked them for help...
when your company was in a management crisis,
do you know what they said?
They gave me the cold shoulder and said,
"You're a stranger and not a member of the Cha family."
And you confined yourself at home due to the panic disorder.
I simply had to become stronger to live.
To protect you, our kids, and our lives.
It's my incompetence that made you shoulder the burden.
So why don't you put it down now?
SA Group is my everything.
I devoted my life to it. Asking me to step down...
is the same as telling me to die.
I'm done with dinner. Excuse me first.
Hanging out with young people makes me feel young again.
Why don't we all have a glass?
Cheers!
- Why aren't you drinking, Dong Ha? - I drove here.
You can call for a driver.
Or even sleep over if you can't.
Lady, why would he sleep here? Are you crazy?
What's wrong with that?
Do you think I'll throw myself at him?
Yes. So don't even think about messing with him.
Dong Ha, don't even take a sip.
I'll drink your share too.
Goodness.
Miss, you're going to regret it later.
Just wait and see.
Sure.
Look at you. You're quite a drinker, aren't you?
But you can't beat me.
Dong Ha, don't stop me today.
Oh, my gosh.
- Pour me more. - No, stop.
Come and have a glass.
My glass is empty.
Ms. Seo's glass is too.
I'll pour some more.
- This is bad. - Oh, dear.
- Goodness. - Oh, my gosh. Are you okay?
Move. I'll do it.
It's okay.
It already soaked through, so it's pointless.
It's stained.
Don't you have a new shirt?
Me?
But mine's all expensive.
Fine.
Oh, gosh.
Lady, I'm out of wine.
Right. A party can't run out of drinks.
Ms. Seo, come to the wine cellar with me.
I don't know much about them.
Come on.
Oh, dear.
Here.
Thanks.
I'll have your shirt dry cleaned, so give it to me.
Should I wait outside?
No. It won't take long.
I'll turn around, so don't rush.
I don't know why we became such strangers.
We wouldn't have come this far if you had trusted me.
Dong Ha, tonight will be the last day I drink.
I promise.
That was a limited edition shirt. How upsetting.
What about Ms. Yoo?
You see...
Where's Ms. Yoo?
She must be taking care of President Hong.
Do you still have feelings for me?
You're Seo Jun's dad.
So I want us to maintain a good relationship.
There's no need to go to the master bedroom.
Come here, Ms. Seo.
Hurry. They might get the wrong idea since we're taking too long.
What are you two doing?
It's nothing like that. You've misunderstood.
Please do excuse us first.
But that's my shirt.
I'm sorry I spoiled the mood.
There was a misunderstanding.
Seriously. You're a pro at pooping the party.
Go home for today.
Let's have dinner again another day.
Everyone is dismissed!
I'll give you a ride. Let's go.
Dong Ha!
Hey, Dong Ha! Where did you go without me?
It's okay. I want to walk a bit.
I shall take my leave.
Mr. Kang.
You have to get rid of that bomb.
You're so cute, my sweetie.
- Seo Jun. - Mommy!
Mom, here. I'll do it.
Let's see. My gosh, you're so handsome!
- Did you have fun today? - Yes!
Mommy, I'm going to draw. Okay?
Okay.
Oh, that's right. I met your boss...
when I went to make a delivery during the day.
- The chief director? - Yes.
He was there for a commercial shoot.
The moment he saw me, he called me Mother...
and treated me with such good manners.
I was very flattered.
He even drove me to my store because I might be tired.
Didn't he tell you?
He did? I had no idea.
I feel really bad but grateful at the same time.
Does he live alone?
I don't know much about him.
Ask him, will you?
I want to make him some side dishes.
A young man living alone would barely eat nutritious food.
Wouldn't it be nice if I made his portion while I made ours?
Okay, I will.
He's such a gentle and handsome man. What a shame.
It would be so nice if you two were together.
That would never happen, Mom.
Divorce is not a big deal these days.
I'm just saying it would be nice.
How are things with Ms. Ko from the burger store?
I don't even want to talk about that.
She always glares at me whenever we see each other.
Gosh.
You should still try to be friends.
She might turn out to be a nice person.
I want to do so.
I do, but I can't help that she's mean.
I'm home.
Why did you come back alone?
Is she not home?
Did something happen?
It's a long story.
We had a misunderstanding, and she left work first.
Call her.
I'm sure she'll come home on her own.
Do you know what time it is?
Call her and ask where she is.
See? She's not picking up.
(Call, Yu Ra)
Yes, Mother.
Where are you? Why aren't you home yet?
Jin Woo's already home.
Hurry home.
If you're going to fight, you should fight at home.
I'm at a hotel.
My parents said they were going to come early in the morning.
I'll stay here for now and bring my parents to work tomorrow.
I'm going to hang up now.
She's going to bring her parents to the office tomorrow.
Try to make up with her before then.
I'll head upstairs.
How dare she hang up on me? Rude girl.
I've been too nice to her.
Where in the world is Jin A?
(Mom)
Hi, Chairman Cha. It's me.
The honorable Ms. Hong...
has gotten extremely drunk here.
I can't send her home alone in this scary world.
I'll have her sleep here.
It's no problem at all. We're like family.
Okay, sounds good. Goodnight.
Jin A. Let's go upstairs.
I'll let her sleep in my room, and I'll sleep next to Uncle.
Hey. You can't let a woman sleep in a single man's room.
Have her sleep in the living room.
Mother. How can we let a woman sleep in the living room?
Mother? Your mother?
This is crazy bouquet lady.
- Oh, my. - Oh, my head.
This mess was not part of my plans.
Hey. Take her to my room instead of yours.
Goodness.
Jin A. Let's go.
Good work today, Son.
You had to act like you don't live here,
and you had to take care of that mess.
You'll have to get up early if you don't want to be caught by her tomorrow morning.
You must be tired. You should go get some rest.
I don't want you to use Ms. Yoo in your plot for revenge any longer.
What do you mean I used her?
It's really uncomfortable to watch you...
put Ms. Yoo at risk like that.
I was very clear before...
in asking you not to do something like this.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
I didn't tell her to do that. Soo Yeon...
Then you should've stopped her. You shouldn't have encouraged her.
You know Ms. Yoo is blinded by the desire for revenge.
How far are you going to push her by using that weakness?
Mother, if you keep doing this,
you're no different from Chairman Cha. Can't you see that?
Don't ever use Ms. Yoo again.
He just got angry at me, right?
My son got angry at me.
It would be more accurate to say...
that he made a declaration.
What is that?
It's a nice way to ask someone...
to fix something that's not right.
That's the same thing.
He definitely got angry at me.
I told you, he made a declaration.
- He got angry. - It was a declaration.
- Gosh. - Gosh.
Oh, my.
Mi Sook. Did something happen overnight?
Hong Jin A, that mess.
She hit and kicked me all over from head to toe...
while she was sleeping.
She was basically doing cartwheels in her sleep. Seriously.
Gosh.
What about Dong Ha?
I don't know. I woke up to the sound of him leaving. He's gone.
Chairman Cha is sending someone to pick up that mess.
She's so drunk. She won't wake up no matter how much you shake her.
You should go and give her a good slap.
You should still try to be friends.
She might turn out to be a nice person.
Let's see.
Let's take this over.
Good morning.
The lunch rush is over.
Would you like to sit down...
and have some coffee?
No, that's okay.
Hey, why not? Let's have a cup of coffee together...
and get to know each other. Here.
I'm pretty picky about people.
I'm really busy,
and I don't drink instant coffee.
My goodness.
Gosh. I took the initiative to reach out,
and she says she doesn't drink instant coffee.
How pretentious.
These are the pictures they'll use for paper advertisements.
They turned out nicely.
How is the board of directors responding to this ad campaign?
Their response is good.
I'll let you know when the launch date for the campaign is finalized.
Hello.
Mr. Ko and Mr. Kang are out for a meeting.
I don't need to see them. Have a seat.
So it's not really my style...
to keep asking questions like this.
But I'm going to ask one last time, just in case.
Do you really, seriously,
honestly not have feelings for Mr. Kang?
I don't.
But you see,
you can't always control...
what happens between a man and a woman.
It's possible...
that lightning could strike...
and spark something...
Not at all. Nothing like that will happen.
I said the same thing before,
but he's just someone I'm really grateful for.
How could I think of him...
as more than that?
It's not what you think at all.
Oh, I see.
So that's that.
You should rethink getting revenge by using President Hong's feelings.
The point of revenge is to bring the other person down.
It's not good to bring yourself down in the process.
You're going to wear yourself out.
Don't worry.
I need to find out where they moved the second set of accounts to.
I need to do it for Seo Jun.
You're so stubborn.
We're not related,
but you seem to take after my stubbornness.
Chairman Cha.
(Meeting Room)
Welcome.
Father, Mother. Hope you've been well.
I apologize for not being in touch more often.
It's nice to see you, Mrs. Cha.
Please have a seat.
I remember you saying it would be hard to come to Korea this year.
You must've missed Yu Ra a lot.
What are you doing? Hurry up and say it.
We'll need to talk about the investment later.
There's something we need to talk about first.
Sure, go ahead.
I apologize if the issue with Yu Ra's degree upset you.
There's nothing to be sorry for.
She bought her degree fairly with money. Is that a crime?
It's common practice for students to get admission to schools by making a donation.
It's nothing crazy.
Mrs. Cha. I'm a little disappointed.
How can you treat Yu Ra like that just because she bought her degree?
I was surprised at first,
but Yu Ra and I talked, and we agreed to move past it.
Is that so?
It didn't seem like Jin Woo was on the same page.
We were already a bit concerned that he'd been married before.
How could he do that with his ex-wife?
You tell us, Jin Woo.
What is going on between you and that cheating ex-wife of yours?
There's nothing going on between us.
I told you, it was just a misunderstanding.
That's true. I don't know about anything else,
but I can promise you that.
Really?
Then...
what's this?
How?
How can you have an affair? You haven't even been married very long.
Right. So I was taking her home,
and when I was about to leave...
The important thing is, nothing happened. I swear.
Really. Nothing happened.
I can see why you can misinterpret the picture because of the angle,
but I trust my son.
You must've been very upset.
Why didn't you tell me?
I would've done something about it then.
Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's a big mistake on Jin Woo's part...
to do something that could be misunderstood.
Am I wrong?
Yes, you're right.
Then, apologize.
I agree you should apologize.
If not, we're going to take Yu Ra back to the US...
and cancel everything related to our investment deal.
Dad.
You be quiet.
You have to be firm about these things, or something like this will happen again.
If you can't apologize,
you should, Jin Woo.
Respectfully apologize...
to my daughter and both of us.
Father. Mother. I'm very sorry.
How frustrating.
Who are they?
- They seem to be Ms. Seo's parents. - My goodness.
You scared me.
What did you say?
They were mentioning something about an investment deal.
They must've come from the US.
They look nothing alike.
Ms. Seo...
must've changed her whole face...
with plastic surgery.
You must be right.
Lead the way.
I have to work.
I know it's almost the end of your workday.
I'm the chairman, you know.
Driving myself doesn't make me look very powerful.
Powerful, my foot.
She drove herself here earlier.
I thought you would go straight home. Did you need something?
No. Are you going home?
Yes, I am.
If we need to work overtime, I can.
No, it's not that.
Would you like to have dinner together?
You should get some rest, Mother.
What is this?
(Gold Mask)
Soo Yeon says she doesn't have any feelings for you at all.
Do you live alone, Mr. Kang?
Mom. Do you have a boyfriend?
Did you hide it on purpose?
I asked for a divorce.
Welcome in.
Something smells fishy.
There's going to be a lot of drama in Chairman Cha's house.
I don't know if Chairman Cha will move as we want.
Where did Ms. Seo go?
Did you find out? Tell me.
