(Episode 62)
- How nice. - Hurray.
You're one year old.
Happy birthday.
- Mi Sook. - Yes?
- I wish you a long and healthy life. - Thanks.
Happy birthday, Mother.
- Thanks. - Please always stay healthy, Mother.
Thanks, Dong Ha.
Happy birthday, Chairman Ko.
This isn't much, but here.
- Oh, my. - Goodness. What is this?
- What is this? - It's so big.
- Oh, my. - What is this?
Oh, my goodness.
It's so pretty.
Oh, my.
Only the box was big.
Look at this.
I was thinking of buying one with a more simple design,
but Mr. Kang told me you'd like this one more.
Do you like it?
I love it so much.
I love it.
What do you think? Don't I look great?
It looks great on you.
I definitely look best when I wear big and bold designs.
Oh, right. That dress.
This hat will go perfectly with that dress.
Wait one second. I'll change. I'll be right back.
- Okay. - Gosh.
It's so pretty.
She loves presents.
Are you nervous?
Don't be nervous.
What are you two talking about?
I thought...
there was something going on between you two.
Are you two...
in a relationship?
Come on, tell me.
I'm going to make a formal announcement when Mother gets back,
but yes,
Soo Yeon and I are dating.
What did he just say? Oh, my.
- It hurts. - Mi Sook!
What is it, Mi Sook? What happened?
- The dress got caught in my foot. - Oh, no.
No, my foot got caught in the dress.
Gosh, my back hurts.
- Right here? - No, my back.
- Where? - It hurts.
I'm in so much pain, so let's end the party here.
It hurts. You're all dismissed.
What about seeing a doctor?
Leave.
Let's go. I'll give you a ride.
No. I can't get up because of the pain.
Help me, Mr. Kang.
Let me help you.
- Get up. - Gosh.
- No. - I can go alone.
- You're so strong. - So, please.
- No, Uncle can help her. - Get up already.
Let's go.
Be careful, Mi Sook.
- Watch your back. - Oh, gosh.
No, hold on. Be careful.
Does it hurt a lot?
Do you want a pain relief patch?
Does it hurt to the point you can't even talk?
Wait right here, Mi Sook. I'll get you a pain relief patch.
Where is it?
The pain relief patch.
How can he throw a wet blanket on my birthday?
No, he threw a blanket made of burning lava.
My goodness. Dong Ha and Yoo Soo Yeon?
They are what?
- Mr. Kang. - "Dong Ha."
You saw the chairman in pain, so you should've taken care of her first.
What would she think of me once our relationship came to light?
It's obvious.
She would think I love you dearly...
and can't leave you alone even for a second.
We should've told her today.
Should I just tell her myself?
No, let's do it together later on.
It will come as a big shock to her.
She probably didn't know...
I had feelings for you, Mr. Kang. No, I mean Dong Ha.
She might even get upset.
You're right. You had dumped me too hard. Aren't I right?
I'm not wrong, am I?
You can't imagine how heartbroken I was.
I wanted to put some medicine on if I could.
(Vacuum Cleaner)
Soo Yeon, did you order these?
No.
But it's addressed to you.
Should I install the dishwasher in the kitchen?
May I know who ordered these?
Mr. Hong Jin Woo.
Hong...
(President Hong Jin Woo)
Hey. You are here.
I was about to ask for you.
I sent over a dishwasher and a vacuum cleaner.
Did they install them properly?
Mother must have had it tough until now.
You know, doing the dishes and cleaning all by herself.
I'll take care of Mother from now on, so tell her to relax.
And to ask for anything she needs.
I returned all those, so sort them out yourself.
Why? Was the design not to your liking?
Should I send different models?
No. There's no reason for you to take care of my family,
so never do that again.
Have you thought about what I said?
About getting back together.
Didn't I make it clear?
Do I need to remind you of the reason too?
It wasn't my mom.
I have asked her about it before.
Father-in-law...
No, your dad's death had nothing to do with my mom.
Believe that if you want to.
Let go.
Will you believe me if I find evidence that it wasn't my mom?
It was your mom.
Soo Yeon, please.
Can't we stop now?
I... Yes.
I admit that I had gotten the wrong idea and hadn't believed you.
I was the bad guy.
Can't you forgive me now?
I'm back to being Hong Jin Woo, the successor to SA Group.
I'm no longer that penniless Hong Jin Woo who went on about loving you.
I returned to my old self as you and Mother wanted.
I have the ability...
to give you everything you want now.
You didn't know me in the past, nor do you now.
All I ever wanted from you was love.
But losing that was the same as losing everything.
Stop making it sound as if I loved your background.
It's insulting.
(Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong)
Yes?
Take a look.
As you know, we decided to get rid of either brand...
depending on the new brands' sales volume.
Since you chose to stay as my daughter-in-law,
you cannot let Yoo Soo Yeon win.
I already know that, Mother.
But that data tells me otherwise.
At this rate,
it won't take long until Yoo Soo Yeon's team's sales surpass the design team's.
If that happens, having appointed you as the senior manager...
of SA Group's design team might become a problem too.
Our family management is being questioned...
because of all sorts of gossip. Don't add to that.
And by that,
I mean you must win this time no matter what happens. Got it?
Don't worry.
The brand that will disappear is Moran Footwear by Yoo Soo Yeon.
Please have faith in me this time.
As much as you held my hand,
I will not disappoint you.
Okay. Move strategically...
with aggressive marketing.
Understood.
However hard I think of it, it's a no.
And a no is a no.
What should I do?
I told you that you were fired. Are you taking my words lightly?
Here, a gift.
It's a secret, but my dad's a famous artist...
who even held an exhibition.
He painted this. It's a really expensive one.
The painting's not bad.
Why are you giving it to me?
Mother, please believe me.
Dong Ha and Yoo Soo Yeon are seeing each other.
- I know. - You do?
For real?
My head is killing me right now.
Are you just going to stand by and watch?
Don't you think Dong Ha is too good for her?
He totally is. And that's not all.
It's ridiculous. She's nowhere as good as him.
That's what I mean!
We have to split them apart.
What if their relationship becomes serious?
The only person who can break them apart...
is you, Mother.
Mother?
I will take care of my son's matters.
You're just making my headache worse.
Why are you taking it?
Wasn't it a gift? You can't take it back.
Give it to me.
I'll give it to you. But in return,
you must split them apart.
I will even if you don't tell me to.
You're the best, Mother. You can do it.
I'm leaving.
Good luck!
I wish luck is on my side too.
Oh, gosh. What do I do?
Give her money?
No. She's someone who can't be bribed.
How about I slap her face with kimchi?
I can't. She's one of my people.
I, Ko Mi Sook, have to convince her with dignity...
and grace.
Please take a seat, Ms. Yoo.
Mr. Kang.
You know he's my son, right?
Yes, only recently.
Okay.
I heard you were going out with Dong Ha.
So are you?
How did you know?
Did Dong Ha tell you?
"Dong Ha?"
Are you on a first-name basis with him?
No, forget it.
Didn't we agree...
to take revenge on Cha Hwa Yeong?
Yes, we did.
I'm sure my son told you about my husband.
Then you must have understood why I want to take revenge.
You had asked me to help you get revenge for your father,
so we joined hands and joined SA Group.
Yes.
Then you should focus on your revenge.
You've got no time to date.
You might not succeed, even if you devote yourself to revenge.
When I asked again and again if you had feelings for Dong Ha,
you repeatedly said no.
And you made it clear.
Was that all a lie?
Are you not thinking about your innocent father who passed away?
You should be taking revenge no matter what,
not wasting time dating.
You're being undutiful.
Feelings might start to grow...
when working in the same office.
But what you feel for each other...
isn't love.
It's the camaraderie shared by people...
suffering the same pain.
You're mistaking camaraderie for love.
- Chairman Ko. - Listen to me first.
You're smart, so I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say.
We decided to take revenge together.
So let's stick to the plan and not get sidetracked.
We can't afford to fail.
People...
can't have everything they want in their lives.
And I think I gave you enough of what you wanted.
Don't be greedy anymore.
I'm scared we'll drift apart at this rate.
But I don't want that to happen.
You know how much I adore you, don't you?
My mouth hurts.
I believe you understood everything I said.
I don't need any answers,
nor do I want to hear them.
Now get going.
You shouldn't leave your office for too long.
Yes, ma'am. Please excuse me.
I won't see you off.
Goodbye.
Why?
Of all people, why did she have to fall in love with Dong Ha?
Goodness.
This is the new product material to be shared with our overseas buyers.
I already sent the video over to your e-mail.
Great work.
Some overseas buyers will visit Korea to sign the export contract.
They want to look at our store while they're here.
Ms. Chae Yeon, arrange their schedule when the contract date is confirmed.
Yes, sir.
(Bareun Cosmetics)
- Young Ji. - Hey!
I could have gone to our meeting place.
But we get to spend more time together if I pick you up.
I'm starting to feel bad for my aunt.
How come?
Because I'm the only one feeling this happy.
Both Soo Yeon and I got ourselves amazing boyfriends,
but she's all alone.
Your aunt has a cool-looking friend too.
She does?
I want to head over to your store after I see my doctor.
Can I?
When did you ever ask for my permission?
You can come over anytime.
What were you up to?
I made some rice cakes.
Rice cakes?
Is today some special day?
No, it's not that.
I just wanted to share.
Right. Do you like rice cakes?
I made a lot. Come and have some with me tomorrow.
That sounds nice.
Then please come tomorrow. Let's eat together.
That's strange.
Where did that painting go?
Mr. Hong didn't leave the house today, right?
No, he hasn't left his studio.
Please let me know if he does.
I will do so.
Oh, are you just coming in?
So, I heard...
that you enjoyed the rice cakes...
I gave out to celebrate my store's opening.
I prepared some more of each kind.
Please have some.
Why should I?
You don't have to feel bad.
It's okay, really. It didn't cost much.
I don't need them, so you can eat as much as you want.
I just...
wanted to thank you.
You helped Soo Yeon so much.
I wanted to repay you in some way.
I told you, I don't need them. Are you deaf?
I hate rice cakes more than anything in the world.
They're so hard to swallow. I hate them.
If I suffocate while eating a rice cake, are you going to take responsibility?
It's not as if you're going to die for me.
Stop trying to make me eat them.
But...
I really don't get her.
How is she so different every time I see her?
I saw that Ms. Yoo's mother was offering you rice cakes. Why didn't you get any?
She asked me what you liked,
so I told her you liked rice cakes.
Forget rice cakes.
You're not allowed to be involved with Yoo Soo Yeon's family from now on.
I should've pretended as if I didn't see anything going on at Soo Workshop.
Why did I have to help him?
Really.
Now I'm involved with both mother and daughter,
and it's causing me so much trouble.
This is all because of Yoo Soo Yeon.
You helped because you wanted to.
Why is that Ms. Yoo's fault?
Isn't that too much of a leap?
What's too much?
- Peep? - Leap.
Not peep. Leap.
I'm saying you're not being logical.
It's the same for Dong Ha's feelings.
Don't you think they changed because Ms. Yoo is special?
You know Dong Ha doesn't like someone that easily.
He has always stuck by your side and has only thought of revenge.
I don't know. I don't like it.
I can't stand it any longer.
I need to get at least one of them out of my sight.
Tell her to move out of that space right away.
What? You mean the tteokbokki store?
Yes. I'll pay for her real estate agent's commission and moving costs,
so tell her to move out right away.
Do you really have to go that far?
What are you planning to do after you have her moved out?
The thing with both love and coughs...
is that you can't stop them.
The more you try to stop them,
the stronger they will get...
You think everyone is like you.
How am I going to fix this mess?
I'm not sure either.
Oh, no.
Do you want to play with us?
We need one more to make even teams.
Would that be okay?
Sounds good.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Gosh.
What do you think? Isn't your boyfriend really cool?
Yes, very much.
Dong Ha.
What if...
Chairman Ko...
doesn't like me?
I know you've gone through some hardship,
and I know you have Seo Jun.
But that doesn't mean I shouldn't love you...
or that I can't love you.
Don't be disheartened and don't give up on our relationship.
I'm not going to give up on you, no matter what happens.
I wasn't going to tell you this because it's embarrassing,
but I played with all of my strength just now...
because you were watching.
Those kids are 21 or 22 years old.
Do you know how hard it is to play with them?
I didn't want them to outshine me,
so I played with all of my might.
I'm serious.
What brings you here all of a sudden? Shouldn't you be at work?
I took a day off because I had to meet with Seo Jun's kindergarten teacher.
I see.
I saw these pretty flowers on my way here, so I bought them for you.
Should I accept them or not?
I'm worried that this is a bribe.
I'll take those.
Sit.
I know you came here because you have something to say.
I want to let you know in advance. Don't surprise me.
I know that I'm not good enough for Mr. Kang.
I'm a divorcee, and I have a kid.
I know that I'm not the daughter-in-law you're looking for.
You really know your place.
It's nice that I don't have to go through the trouble of telling you myself.
I'm glad we agreed. We're done.
But Mr. Kang says he still likes me.
He says love has no reason or condition.
I'm thankful that he loves me as I am,
and I don't want to reject his feelings either.
I also...
really like Mr. Kang.
What are you doing, Ms. Yoo?
I thought I was clear.
I know you said he needs to focus on revenge and not love.
Exactly. Revenge.
Aren't you going to do that? Did you give up on it?
If our feelings remain unchanged even after we've gotten revenge,
will you be able to accept me then?
We just opened up to each other,
and we're getting to know each other now.
I understand your concerns,
but I'd appreciate it if you could look at this in a positive way.
That's what I came here to say.
Please, Chairman Ko.
Please give me a chance.
(President Hong Jin Woo)
Hello, this is Hong Jin Woo.
Oh, yes. Hello, Chairman Ko.
Thank you for calling. What might be the occasion?
What?
Oh, I see.
Thank you for letting me know, Chairman Ko.
It's nice of you to visit our home.
The home environment has a big influence on children,
so we're making home visits...
for students with parents who are open to the idea.
I see.
How is Seo Jun doing in kindergarten?
He used to be stand-offish when he first came,
but he isn't at all anymore.
He gets along well with his friends,
and his leadership skills make him very popular.
I was worried. I'm relieved to hear that.
Does he eat well?
Yes. He eats everything well.
He isn't picky.
Right. He always talks about his friend, Tunic.
He often tells his friends...
that Tunic is friends with Sunny and his mom,
so I know about Tunic as well.
I think Seo Jun really enjoys his time with Tunic...
and is always waiting to see him again.
I'm not expecting anyone at this time.
Honey.
Hello. I'm Seo Jun's dad.
Let's talk.
What is there to talk about?
I'm going to change the password.
Don't come uninvited from now on.
- Soo Yeon. - And don't say my name whenever you want.
Soo Yeon.
You've been waiting for a while, right? I'm sorry.
Not at all. I just got here.
But why is he here?
There must be a reason, don't you think?
How did you know that Seo Jun's teacher was visiting today?
It's a parent-teacher conference. Of course, I should be here.
I'm Seo Jun's dad.
So how did you know that Seo Jun's teacher was visiting today?
Are you having me followed?
Chairman Ko called me.
She told me that Seo Jun's teacher would be coming for a meeting.
She said that it wouldn't be right for you to meet the teacher on your own.
You could've told me earlier.
I always went to parent-teacher conferences alone when we were married.
Then why is this person waiting in front of your house?
Were you going to introduce him as Seo Jun's dad?
I don't know why I have to explain this to you,
but if you must know, she wasn't going to do so.
I just came to pick her up because we have a lunch date.
You're going to pick Seo Jun up from kindergarten later, right?
Do you want to go pick him up together and have dinner?
Seo Jun left kindergarten early today. He's over at a friend's house.
Don't come here unannounced any longer.
Let's go.
Sorry. I know we have a lunch date today.
They needed me to sign off on a few things right away.
I'll be done soon. Give me one minute.
It's okay.
I'll apologize on behalf of Mother.
I don't know why she called President Hong.
It's because of me.
Chairman Ko knows that we're dating.
She knows?
I told her earlier this afternoon.
I told her that I liked you and asked her to look at this with an open mind.
That's why.
I can understand why she would do that.
Don't be too upset.
I wasn't going to tell you because I didn't want you to be upset,
but you'd find out sooner or later.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Don't try to handle everything on your own.
I'm not dating you so that you can get hurt.
I know.
I'll endure your hardships and fight for you...
from now on,
so stay behind me.
I'll take care of it.
I don't want to hurt your relationship with Chairman Ko.
I'll convince her somehow.
Chairman Ko is a nice person. You know that better than I do.
I'll review these documents.
Have something to drink and rest.
Dong Ha.
Let's talk later.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
It's even better if you dip it in here.
Oh, my. You're here.
Did you go to the hospital?
- Do you want me to help? - No, it's okay.
Take a seat and get some rest.
You must be tired from going to the hospital.
Do you want some cold water?
Yes. And please give me some rice cakes too. I'm a bit hungry.
Okay.
Oh, you're home.
You're home early.
I'm a little tired.
By the way, did you hear?
Auntie is seeing someone.
Did Mom say so?
No, I heard from someone.
Do you know Mr. Ko from the burger store?
Actually, you must know him well.
He's the burger store owner's younger brother.
He told me that there was someone...
who comes to Auntie's store often and helps her out from time to time.
I hear he looks like a gentleman.
What if he turns out to be a bad person?
Auntie is too nice.
You should ask her about him.
We have to know more about him so that we can see if he's okay for her.
I will.
Would you be able...
to look after the store for a little while?
I'll be back soon.
Sure.
Will you be okay alone?
I'll be okay. You'll be back soon, right?
Yes. I'll leave it to you, then.
Welcome.
Father?
(Gold Mask)
What is wrong with you lately?
He was having a panic attack, and I helped him.
You're not divorced yet.
Were you playing with my mom's heart?
I need you to do something for me.
What is Jin A doing right now?
I brought you this. You're going to give me Dong Ha, right?
Don't mess with Ms. Yoo.
Thank you for picking up my trash.
Ms. Yoo and I are in a serious relationship.
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
Mother!
