He showed up unannounced and asked me to help Seok Hoon.
What do you expect me to do? He insisted on meeting you.
You could have just sent him back.
Are you...
angry at me because I wasn't nice to that man?
You said he's not your father.
Why are you becoming weak now?
Who's becoming weak? I'm not.
Don't be absurd.
Do you think I didn't notice how your eyes were shaking?
I even switched the test results. Pull yourself together.
I can't believe you've managed to live as Joon Sang all this time.
Stop it.
You're being so clumsy. It's making me anxious.
Unless you want him to be your father, don't become weak.
He's not my father.
So don't worry.
Is he not Yoon Joon Sang?
Is he Shin Woo?
Is he my son, Shin Woo?
Let's hurry. We're late, Ms. Geum.
What if he refuses to go on the show?
I don't know. He's said to be picky.
The shooting finished late.
I think we can make it.
Give me a second.
Mr. Kang.
Are you here to see Seok Hoon?
No.
Isn't he taking you to the hospital today?
No, he isn't. Just go.
Mr. Kang.
Seok Hoon said he was taking Mr. Kang to the hospital today.
Ms. Geum, what are you doing?
I'm coming.
Was Father here?
Yes. I tried to stop him, but he disappeared.
Isn't he supposed to go to the hospital with you?
Yes, he has chemotherapy scheduled.
Okay. I'll look for him.
Excuse me.
You dropped this when I walked into you.
He must have recognized me.
Shin Woo recognized me.
Yoon Joon Sang.
She said he's living as Yoon Joon Sang.
Joon Sang. That name sounds familiar.
The boy next door.
His name was Yoon Joon Sang.
That's right. Is that why that man thinks I'm his father?
Father.
What happened to you? Are you having severe pains?
My legs failed me.
Your energy level has become so low.
Get up, Father.
- Father. - I'll get up on my own.
Why didn't you call me if you were here?
I didn't want to bother you.
By the way,
it's about your childhood memories.
Do you remember them vividly?
My memories?
Do you mean those of my friend's mother?
- Yes. - Yes.
All the other memories are lost,
but I remember her giving me dumplings...
and her singing while making dumplings.
Those memories are very vivid...
as if she was my mother.
Father, it doesn't matter.
I now know she's not my mother.
Please don't get the wrong idea.
Let's go to the hospital. I was going to come with you.
It's okay.
- Father. - Forget it.
I'm okay. I'll go by myself.
It's your first chemotherapy. Let me come with you.
Shin Woo has nothing to do with me.
We didn't even live together.
I shouldn't call myself his father.
I can't get in my son's way.
Since when does he care so much about his son?
Since when?
Blood is thicker than water, I guess.
I told her to stay away from Seol Hwa,
but she still found out Seol Hwa is dating Seok Hoon.
What are you mumbling?
It's nothing.
You're concerned about Seok Hoon's father, right?
I'm not the only superficial one, am I?
That's not it.
I'm going to tell them this evening.
I'm happy about Seol Hwa getting married to Seok Hoon.
He's our son. I even thought of him as Han Dol.
Can he really become our son-in-law?
He'll still be like our son.
We'll be able to see him all our lives. Isn't that great?
You're right.
I actually feel a bit bad.
When Seol Hwa was going to marry Joon Sang, I was so happy.
And now, I don't look so happy.
Choo Ja, if you think about it,
there is no one else like him.
He knows everything that Seol Hwa went through.
Is that so?
Of course. They even lived under the same roof for a while.
He knows what makes Seol Hwa sad and troubled.
He knows what she holds back and why she always smiles.
Right. That's true.
Let's tell them this is great and we are glad.
I have to cook dinner. I'm going home first.
Mom.
Are you coming just now? You got off work early.
I came home early because I missed you.
You liar. You should at least make it sound real.
No, I mean it.
Let go of me. You fooled me completely.
Mom.
Are you angry because I didn't tell you earlier?
It's nothing to be angry about. I was surprised though.
I should've told you, but I couldn't bring myself to it.
Why? Were you scared of me?
No, why would I be scared of you?
I felt so sorry. That's why I couldn't tell.
I know how you feel about Seok Hoon.
I know you love him as if he is your real son.
It felt like I was taking away a son from you.
I'm sorry about it the most.
Why do you have to feel bad or consider me for liking someone?
Did you think I would be happy to see you like this?
Mom.
You are not taking anyone away from me.
And to be honest, there is nothing wrong with you two dating.
If this makes you happy, that's all it matters.
Yes.
Seok Hoon already saw you taking everything in...
and he knows how good-hearted you are.
He will make you happy.
Mom.
Thanks.
Whatever. Let's just go.
My goodness.
Did you do a background search on Mr. Han's real dad?
Yes.
Since Joon Sang mentioned him, everyone at work knows.
I needed to check and see if he can cause any trouble.
So how is he?
He wasn't involved in any financial crime,
so it shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Han to become the president.
Really?
I'm so glad this wouldn't disqualify him.
Do you want Mr. Han to become the president?
You have recently been very interested in him.
Well, I...
It's right for a professional to be in charge of a medical foundation.
- I'm home. - Are you coming in just now?
It's good to see you two come home together.
Right?
Don't worry about us, Grandma. We're doing well.
Yes, you should be.
- Did you just come home? - Yes.
Take a seat.
Joon Sang, I heard you told Mr. Han to reconsider his proposal...
about the free clinic's construction site.
Yes.
I thought that site would be too small for many reasons.
He already reported it to me and I gave him the approval.
What would people think when they hear you've turned it down?
You haven't signed the papers yet.
If this was a verbal approval, I think we can change it.
What is this about?
Was there another trouble with you and Mr. Han?
No, Grandma. He is just trying to do the business well.
Is that why you have been meeting the board members?
Did he meet the board members?
Are you preparing yourself for the next board meeting?
If you are trying to win them over to your side, stop it.
That's disgraceful.
You can just prove yourself with what you do like Dr. Han.
Jae Rim.
Did you see that?
Father's taking Seok Hoon's side without knowing he's his son.
Grandma wants him around because she likes him...
and Mother is even trying to get him to marry Seol Hwa.
Can't you see what you should do now?
You have to get his hands off the foundation no matter what.
And we have to get Kang Pil Doo out of their house.
Do you understand?
Father, be careful.
It's okay. I'm fine.
Father.
At first, chemotherapy does not seem too painful,
but it will be harder as time goes. You have to be careful.
Yes, okay.
I'm going in.
It's a night shooting again. I'll be staying up all night.
- Seok Hoon. - Are you leaving just now?
Yes.
Seok Hoon, are you coming back from the hospital with your dad?
Yes.
Did they say anything?
- Did anything happen at work? - At work?
What is this about?
To be honest, I made a mistake.
I said you were stopped from becoming the president...
and he asked me for Ms. Bae's number.
Ms. Bae? Why?
If he really is Joon Sang who lived the next door,
why is Shin Woo living as him?
- Father. - Yes?
Why?
Why are you sitting up? You should get changed and lie down.
Yes, I will.
Hey.
About that man, Joon Sang.
- Chief Director Yoon Joon Sang? - Yes.
What is he like?
I'm not sure. He's not my friend.
Really?
You didn't know him before, did you?
No. It hasn't been long. I met him when I came to Korea.
Anyway, what is it?
No, nothing.
Father.
Sae Na said...
you asked for Ms. Bae's number.
Were you at the office to meet with her?
No. I didn't meet her. I didn't meet anyone.
You don't have to meet her.
There is no way she will help me...
and no trouble was caused because of you.
I am sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Seok Hoon, you're home. - Yes, I'm home.
I heard you went to the hospital with him. How is he doing?
Chemotherapy must be hard on him. His condition is not good.
I heard that's hard to go through.
Yes. I hope he gets through it.
My goodness.
- Seok Hoon, you're home. - Yes.
Hey, take a seat for a minute.
Yes.
We couldn't say anything last night because we were too surprised.
You two look different after I heard you are dating.
We were fools for not noticing.
Dad.
I always wondered who would take my pretty and sweet Seol Hwa's hand.
He happened to live so close by.
Mother.
Do you still not like me?
How can you say that? Why wouldn't I like you?
Exactly. There is no son-in-law like him.
My gosh.
Maybe I brought you home with me for this to happen.
To take you in as my son-in-law.
Mother.
I'll be better from now on.
How can you be better than now?
I'll be happy as long as you two are happy.
We approve of you two.
Once Seok Hoon's father gets better after the chemotherapy,
- we'll set a date. - Yes, Father.
Joon Sang.
Why are you here and not in your room?
Grandma. You're still up.
How can I sleep when my grandson is like this?
Joon Sang, what are you so angry and worried about?
It's nothing. I'm okay.
You can't lie to me.
You were like this when I first brought you home too.
You were so anxious and couldn't fall asleep.
You seemed so worried.
You only could fall asleep in my arms.
You're just like back then these days.
Grandma.
Don't be like this. What are you afraid of?
You're the first son.
And I'm on your side.
It seems like Dr. Han and you are having a lot of conflicts,
but no matter what happens, be generous.
That's your job, okay?
I couldn't believe it at first,
but when I saw you two sitting next to each other,
I realized you two make a beautiful couple.
Thank you for giving us permission.
I wouldn't say no to a son-in-law like you.
Seol Hwa's birth mother must have heard about it.
She came and asked about you.
I told her not to worry.
I love Doo Na and Sae Na too,
but Seol Hwa is special to me.
No matter how much love I give her,
there must be a hole...
in her heart that never gets filled. You know that, right?
Yes, Father. I know what you mean.
I'll always love her...
and make sure she's not lonely.
All right.
Please do that.
Look at that. It looks fantastic. I must be a cooking genius.
Did I invent dumplings in my previous life?
How can I be so good at chopping things?
Father, you're here.
You come here every single day.
Of course. Considering what my mom has done,
I should help you as much as I can.
- Have a seat. - Sorry?
- Have a seat. - Okay.
Father, why are you giving me...
Eat.
Thank you.
Does it taste good?
Of course. Your dumplings are the best.
When I see how you make them,
I understand why they're so good.
Do you want to...
try?
Sorry?
Your mind has to be at peace for you to be able to write.
You're doing all kinds of part-time jobs all day.
It won't take you anywhere.
Learn my skills and start a dumpling restaurant.
Father.
Seok Hoon returned this.
Why?
He wants me to get you a stable job so that you can support your family.
The money he gave me is in it too.
I'm such a bad person, and you're so nice to me.
What you did was bad,
but you're working so hard to pay for what you did.
I couldn't turn a blind eye to that.
I didn't work so hard.
I'll pay you back, Father.
I'll pay back Seok Hoon too.
I'll work harder.
Mother, let's have breakfast.
- Okay. - Gosh.
Is this all?
There's nothing to eat.
I didn't eat anything yesterday either.
I saw you finish a bowl of rice last night.
Hey, I usually eat two bowls of rice.
I had just one because there were too few side dishes.
I haven't had meat in forever.
- Give me some meat. - We don't have money for it.
Why did you give all the down payment to your family?
It's because you and Min Kyu owed my family.
What? Why would I owe them?
Cut it out and take the money back.
I'm not a rabbit. I can't live eating only vegetables.
These days, many people go vegetarian for their health.
Did you just talk back to me?
Gosh, my blood pressure is going up.
Vegetables help lower your blood pressure.
What? Are you kidding me?
- Doo Na. - Min Kyu.
Min Kyu, give me the money.
I won't lend it to other people. Give it to me.
I can't. I'm going to start a dumpling restaurant.
- What? - What are you talking about?
Father gave me the money back so I can start a restaurant.
Is he out of his mind?
Who is he to tell my son to start a dumpling restaurant?
Mother, don't talk that way.
She's right. Don't talk that way about your in-laws.
My in-laws?
Fine, it's true...
I accepted his daughter and her baby.
In return, they should...
persuade you to go back to the hospital...
and be a doctor again. Why dumplings?
Mother, what's so wrong about dumplings?
My father has dedicated his whole life to dumplings.
That's how he supported his family and educated his children.
Why do you have a problem with dumplings?
Why are you doing this? You're hurting me.
I'm hurt even more.
Then again, after getting married to a dumpling man's daughter,
what else could he do?
He could have married a girl from a rich family.
Mom, I'll become rich myself.
I'll open additional branches and even factories.
When is that going to happen?
My goodness.
Min Hee is giving me enough headaches.
My goodness. What should I do?
- What did Min Hee do? - I don't care.
Father.
Where's Father? Tell him to come have breakfast.
He's not here.
Did he go out this early?
What are you doing here? Have breakfast and go to work.
Did you see my father on your way home?
- No. Isn't he here? - No.
He was up until late last night.
- He was? - Yes.
His light was on, and he was coughing.
He seemed unwell, so I checked if he was asleep.
Chemotherapy must have been tough.
Where did he go by the way?
Attend the meeting with our partner in the morning.
Okay, Father.
Did anyone ask for me this morning?
No, Mr. Han.
Were you expecting someone?
Please let me know if my father calls.
Okay, and the chairman wants to see you.
He wants you to come to his office.
Okay.
How is the land purchase going?
To raise a fund,
I'm contacting other companies.
I guess it'll take some time.
There's not much time left until the next board meeting.
The way organizations work is simple.
Visible results are all that matters.
Even if we don't achieve any result soon,
there's nothing we can do about it.
My goal is not to become the president.
It's to make a better clinic.
I admire that about you.
When everyone else is obsessed with results,
you focus on the job itself.
Seol Hwa, have you heard anything from my father?
No. I came to ask if he called you.
None. He didn't even call.
I should call home.
I have. He's not there.
Where could he be?
He doesn't have anywhere to go.
It's almost time for his hospital appointment.
Do you think he might be coming to your office like the last time?
To the office?
Yes. He stopped by to see you on his way to the hospital.
I thought he came by to go there with you.
Maybe he'll do that today. I'll go out and see.
No.
He might be at the hospital by himself.
I'll look around the area and go to the hospital if he's not here.
Okay. Give me a call when you meet him.
I'll give you a call if I get a hold of him.
Yes. I'll be back.
Shin Woo.
You're Shin Woo, right?
It's me, Dad.
Your dad.
What are you talking about?
- No. - Shin Woo.
- You're mistaken. - Wait, Shin Woo.
Father.
Father, what are you doing here?
Why are you calling the chief director Shin Woo?
(Golden Pocket)
Father. Call an ambulance immediately.
- A liver transplant. I'll do it. - You?
An operation? No.
Never. I'm not even your father.
He... He recognized me.
Are you saying he recognized who you are?
I tried so hard to become Yoon Joon Sang.
So don't come back even after you die.
