(Episode 71)
I'm off to work, Father.
Someone was in my studio. Was it you?
No.
But I saw Mother go in this morning.
Did something happen?
It's nothing.
Why are you here again?
How dare you slap me?
Yes, I slapped you.
You may be a real piece of work to others, but not to me.
We have nothing to do with each other anymore.
So I'd like to ask why you came all the way here to act like a nutjob.
Who are you to slap me?
I even saved your life.
And yet, this is how you act up?
I should have just left you to die.
You should have died.
If you had not fooled us,
I would have gotten the surgery on time,
and Soo Yeon would not have been humiliated like so.
Shouldn't you be ashamed of making a deal out of a person's life?
And yet, you still have the guts to come here and rant on?
Straighten your life out, or you'll get punished by the deities.
Punished? I should be saying that to you.
And how can you raise your voice when you mess around with my husband?
By any chance, were you trying to get back at me?
What are you going on about?
Who's your husband? And what did I do with him?
I'm guessing you looked down on me.
Should I rip off that mask of yours?
Only then will you lay everything bare and admit it?
Look here.
I don't even know who your husband is.
I have never met him, not even before,
during, or after Soo Yeon's wedding.
I don't know what you're up to this time,
but please stop, will you?
You don't know him?
You have never met my husband, Hong Sun Tae?
That's right.
I have never seen his face before, so stop being unreasonable and leave.
Right now.
Look carefully.
Do you still not know who he is?
This...
man is your...
husband?
Yes, he's my husband.
You should've aged gracefully.
But you just had to mess around...
with my husband slash your daughter's ex-father-in-law, didn't you?
I didn't mess around with him.
Don't put it like that.
We...
were only friends.
What? We? Friends?
How shameless.
We shouldn't have gotten involved with senseless people in the first place.
One mistake of accepting her...
into our family wrecked everything.
Don't think you're innocent because you can't be accused of adultery.
If you meet with my husband again,
I will make a false charge...
and put you and Yoo Soo Yeon behind bars,
and bring your family down.
You better mark my words.
(Chairman's Office)
Who is it?
I'm not the type to beat around the bush, so here it is.
Mr. Kang, take responsibility for Jin A.
The daughter of SA Group is good enough for any family...
in the business industry.
But blinded by love,
she became a disabled person for life.
It's hard to find anyone in our class who will marry her now.
You destroyed my daughter's life.
So shouldn't you take responsibility, Mr. Kang?
Jin A asked me not to for your sake,
but an arrest warrant for Yoo Soo Yeon will be filed soon.
Make a wise decision.
I'm done talking, so get out.
What's going on, Hong Jin A?
How can you refuse my visit?
I went to the hospital, then came to my office.
It was obvious what you were going to say to me.
And coming to an agreement is for Yoo Soo Yeon,
not me, right?
So I'm not going to. Okay?
I'm hanging up.
Hello? Hong Jin A?
What did you call me for?
I was going to ask you to visit Jin A with me.
Don't.
Hong Jin A doesn't want to see me anyway.
I called a few times to visit but got rejected.
It's tough, isn't it?
I think Jin A egged on Mom,
but I'll stop her no matter what.
You will not get arrested.
I know you don't trust me, but please do this once.
I will not stay still when I still love you.
Hong Jin A is just crazy about Kang Dong Ha.
She's getting discharged today.
I'll persuade her at home.
Thank you for worrying about me, but stop.
I will accept your concern if it's for Seo Jun's sake.
But if it's for anything beyond that, it will make me uneasy.
Anyway, I appreciate it.
How long do you think Kang Dong Ha will like you?
Forever?
You're just dreaming. Wake up already.
I can clearly see that Kang Dong Ha's feelings have changed.
Since Chairman Ko is also against your relationship with him,
she's even using me to break you two apart.
Can't you tell? You've been through it yourself.
Chairman Ko is likely much worse than my mom...
and not less.
Ms. Yoo, you look awfully busy.
Two-timing at their faces, aren't you?
If you keep weighing Mr. Kang and President Hong,
you might lose both of them.
Stop talking nonsense.
I'm not done talking yet.
Even if you hate the sight of me, we still have to work.
What is it?
SA Group's VVIP customer...
ordered a pair of custom-made wedding shoes.
And she appointed you, Ms. Yoo.
And who is this VVIP customer?
I don't know.
I'm only passing along what the VIP management team told me.
My wedding shoe design is much fancier and better.
I can't understand why she chose you.
Don't tell me you ordered...
your wedding shoes pretending it wasn't you, did you?
When is it due?
The dates are written on there, so check it yourself.
The phone number is missing.
Don't I need to talk to the bride to design the shoes?
I don't know who the bride is, but she's leaving everything to you.
Ask the VIP management team if you have any questions.
I'm not your secretary, after all.
I passed it on, so it's yours to take care of.
(Investment Development Team)
What is that?
A VVIP customer appointed me...
to design her wedding shoes.
Gosh, Ms. Yoo. You're on a roll.
VVIP customers hate off-the-shelf designs...
and prefer one-of-a-kind items,
so they would make a request implicitly like this.
With good word of mouth, your worth...
will jump up.
You'll get loads of offers too.
If you want something grander,
you could even open a designer shoe store.
Right.
If you need any help, let me know.
I will try...
my utmost best.
Haven't you talked with Dong Ha?
He should be working here today,
but for some reason, he went to work at Bareun.
Well, work has piled up a lot over there too.
Is there anything else going on with Mr. Kang these days?
Anything else?
There's nothing you wouldn't know, Ms. Yoo.
He was joined at the hips with you...
and was busy protecting you these days.
Oh, right. Did you not hear...
from the police again?
No. They've been dead quiet.
It seemed like Chairman Cha was pushing them a lot.
Let's not worry too much and wait.
Not hearing from them...
means your arrest warrant isn't going through.
And that's good news for you.
You're right.
(Bareun Cosmetics)
I told her to put off the arrest warrant for now.
I may have stopped her,
but my mom won't wait long.
It's really up to you now, Dong Ha.
(Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)
Detective, it's me.
Did you check?
Yes. Chairman Cha ordered the arrest warrant...
to be put off.
She acted as if she was going to get...
an arrest warrant from the court right away.
So I don't understand what's going on now.
I see. Thank you for checking.
(Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)
Let's talk a bit after work.
I'll head over to Bareun.
Thank you. Bye.
Please come again.
Why do I feel so nauseous?
Did yesterday's jjajangmyeon not sit right in my stomach?
Mi Sook. Come on.
You should give this some serious thought.
We already have you, me, and Mr. Kim.
Why do we need to hire a part-timer?
I'm not Son Goku from the Dragon Ball series, you know.
I can't just pluck out one of my hairs...
and blow on it to make three of me.
Having ten of me would still not be enough.
For example,
I work at SA Group this morning,
and I'm going to work at the store this afternoon.
You've never complained before.
What's wrong with you today?
I have a personal life too, you know.
I have so much to do lately.
No, you don't.
It's not like you have a girlfriend or something.
Hey. Why do you assume that I don't?
Whatever.
A store without an owner...
cannot succeed.
Don't try to get out of it, and get in here.
Oh, wait.
We're already successful enough.
What more do you want?
Why did she close the store so early today?
- Don't change the topic and come here. - Hold on. Mi Sook.
Wait, Mi Sook. Oh, my ear.
You almost tore my ear off.
You nearly killed me.
My goodness. My ear.
Wait. Hold on.
You went to meet Hong Jin A.
Why haven't you said anything about it?
What is there to say?
You did clearly tell her...
that she shouldn't even dream of marrying Dong Ha, right?
Who knows?
"Who knows?"
Did you not tell her to give up on Dong Ha?
I gave it some thought.
Yoo Soo Yeon is seeing Dong Ha.
Why can't Hong Jin A?
They both like him.
Mi Sook!
Considering money, family background, and our plot for revenge,
Wouldn't the daughter of SA Group be better than Yoo Soo Yeon?
I don't agree.
Dong Ha loves Ms. Yoo.
He doesn’t just dislike Jin A.
He despises her.
What are you thinking?
What?
What happened to the person...
who said she would not allow Dong Ha and Hong Jin A to get married?
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
Aren't you?
Oh, no. If you know, you'll get hurt.
Oh, it hurts so much. Gosh.
It tastes so salty.
I think I'm getting punished...
for being so happy...
even though you're gone.
How could he be Soo Yeon's...
Are you heading home?
Is Chief Director Kang inside?
Yes, ma'am.
(Bareun Cosmetics, Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)
You haven't eaten dinner yet, right?
I brought you some sushi from the restaurant we went to before.
It was really good, right?
I'm not hungry.
(Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)
Didn't you come here to talk?
If you have something to say, go ahead.
I know things have been hard for you lately.
Your relationship with your mother became bad because of me,
and you did a lot to help me deal with Hong Jin A.
I'm sorry.
I think I relied on you too much.
I should've been supportive of you as well,
but I relied on you too much.
I'll try harder...
- from now... - I've told you before...
that you seem to be unhappy whenever I see you, right?
But now, I've become unhappy as well.
I think your misfortune...
has spread to me.
I don't want to become even more unhappy.
As you know, I have a lot to do.
I don't want to waste my time suffering from misfortunes any longer.
Is that how you really feel?
Do you really want to end things with me like this?
I was being sincere when I first asked to break up,
and I'm being sincere now.
I don't want either of us...
to be unhappy any longer.
I have some work left.
Goodbye.
I truly loved you...
every moment we were together.
Thank you for making me happy.
Hold on to me.
Please be careful with my back.
Yes, ma'am. There.
Be careful, ma'am.
I'll be going, sir.
Dad.
I'm glad you're home.
I know you'll make a full recovery.
Don't lose hope.
Okay, Dad.
Mom.
Was your ride back comfortable?
It's hard not to be able to walk.
I can't get changed by myself.
I can't do anything on my own.
It's depressing.
I got you your own maid,
so call her if you need anything at all.
I sent your medical records...
to a famous neurologist in the US.
They said there was a good chance that you'd walk again.
Let's get you to the US as soon as possible to get it checked out.
No, I'm going to get married to Dong Ha first.
Jin A.
He's my one and only cure.
Let's talk.
I don't have anything to say to you.
Did you ruin my painting?
Why did you do that?
Just seeing that dirty painting in my house...
sends chills down my spine.
Did that answer your question?
It's the painting that I painted.
It doesn't matter how it makes you feel.
You have no right to mess with it without my approval.
Why doesn't it matter?
You had a good time with another woman without my approval.
You made a painting of that woman...
in my house, and you talk about approval?
You're angry at me just because I ruined that offensive painting?
Don't say such a thing. I didn't do anything with her.
Do you even know who she is?
She's Yoo Soo Yeon's mom.
Yoo Soo Yeon, that lowly girl.
You could've met any woman on the street.
How could you have an affair with Yoo Soo Yeon's mom?
How could you insult me like this?
It's not like that. It's not.
I told you.
I saw you at the art exhibit.
You went there with that woman.
How could you, Hong Sun Tae, my husband,
make a fool out of me?
How could you embarrass me like this?
She supported me and comforted me.
You have no right to speak that way about her.
She didn't do anything to deserve that.
Do you think I'm going to leave that family be?
I won't let Yoo Soo Yeon and her mom get away with this.
I already asked for a divorce,
and I warned you that I'd file a lawsuit if needed.
Even if we're not divorced legally, we're divorced psychologically. It's over.
Did you ask for a divorce because of that woman?
No.
I asked for a divorce before I met her.
She had nothing to do with our divorce.
So you should not go to her house...
and cause a scene.
I feel apologetic...
toward that family.
Don't add to that.
Why is Yoo Soo Yeon so important to you?
What is it about her...
that makes you and Jin Woo act like this?
What's going on?
Is what Mother said true?
Is the woman you're seeing...
Soo Yeon's, I mean, my mother-in-law?
We're just friends, that's all.
Have you gone senile?
Are you crazy?
How could you have a relationship with my mother-in-law?
Don't you see how crazy that is?
Does Soo Yeon know?
She does.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm trying to get back together with Soo Yeon.
You don't have to help me, but did you have to get in my way like that?
I know what you're thinking, but nothing happened. Don't jump to conclusions.
Don't see Mrs. Kim ever again. Do you understand?
Wait a second.
I'll go call Spot.
Spot. Come here.
Mom.
Soo Yeon. I think there's something wrong with Auntie.
Have you been crying?
Oh, no. I think something got in my eye.
What's wrong with Mom?
She closed the store early,
and now she won't come out of her room.
She seems to be really out of it.
Mom, I'm home.
Hi.
I didn't know you were back.
Are you okay, Mom?
You look so pale.
Are you sick?
I feel like...
I'm not being helpful to you at all.
I feel like I keep getting in your way.
I feel so bad and sorry.
That's not true.
It's so helpful just to have you by my side.
Chairman Cha came by the store today.
Why? Did she say something to you?
What did she say?
The person who gave me that painting on the wall...
is Mr. Hong.
So she came to yell at you for that?
You knew.
Why didn't you say anything?
Why did you make a fool of me?
I was worried you'd be shocked.
You're not in the condition to handle something like that.
How can fate be so cruel?
I feel so bad to your father,
and I feel so bad to you.
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not as if you knew who he was.
He didn't you who you were either.
He found out that day after seeing me.
I don't blame you or my father-in-law.
We can't control how we feel.
It doesn't matter...
whether we knew or not.
I'm never going to see him again.
Please say something. Anything.
Mi Sook. It's not true, right?
That would be absolutely insane.
Dae Chul.
We just need...
to let nature take its course.
If we let nature take its course,
Dong Ha and Ms. Yoo would end up together.
You're turning their love story...
into a horror film.
How can you even consider having Dong Ha marry into that family?
Both Dong Ha and I...
came this far thinking only of getting revenge for my husband.
This is our chance...
to get that revenge in a much easier way,
and getting married is the way to grab that chance.
We have an easy path laid out for us. Why shouldn't we take it?
What easy path?
It's more like a path to misery.
I adamantly oppose this.
- I absolutely oppose it. - Gosh. You're getting spit on me.
I don't care.
Oh, Dong Ha.
You stop right there. Turn around, and go back out.
No.
Since you're here, pack your things and leave.
Your mom is thinking...
about marrying you off to Hong Jin A.
This is...
absolutely insane!
I'll take care of everything.
I'm going to get some rest.
Why is he not saying anything?
He should be up in arms about this.
I think...
he's suffering from heat exhaustion.
Hold on.
- Sit down. - What?
That means Dong Ha's not opposed to it.
What?
It's not that.
I think something happened with Ms. Yoo.
That's even better.
Don't do anything.
Don't jinx this.
I must've lost my mind for a while.
I felt a sense of camaraderie because we shared a common enemy.
I must've mistaken that feeling for love.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Let's end it here.
Is that how you really feel?
Do you really want to end things with me like this?
I was being sincere when I first asked to break up,
and I'm being sincere now.
I don't want either of us...
to be unhappy any longer.
I have no excuse.
I know I'm being...
selfish and shameless,
but I wanted to talk to you in person.
I'm sorry.
for liking you...
and wanting to be with you.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to forget it all,
so you should too.
Please forget everything.
And please...
don't come to see me again.
That's all I have to say.
Hi, Dong Ha.
Did you make a decision?
Mom's waiting for me to call. What should I do?
Should I tell her...
to file for Yoo Soo Yeon's arrest warrant?
Let's get married. Marry me.
(Gold Mask)
I approved because Jin A really wanted this,
but to be honest, I'm not very happy with this situation.
Fire Yoo Soo Yeon. She bothers me.
- Hong Jin A. - I'm worried, okay?
You don't even pretend to discuss things with me anymore.
Why do bad things always happen when that family gets involved?
You told me to do so to get revenge for Father.
Do you want to take it back now?
If you ended things with Yoo Soo Yeon...
Ms. Yoo has nothing to do with me now.
