Are you okay?
I'm sorry. First, you get fired, and now this.
That was one powerful send-off.
I should submit my hospital bills for reimbursement.
How can you laugh?
Then what, should I cry?
Take a hot shower and rest.
Don't think about anything.
Okay.
Hello, Father.
Where are you? I heard you went with Jennis.
What are you doing? It's business hours.
Come home right now!
Okay.
Don't fight with the chairman. Just drop it.
I've already resigned. It can't be undone.
I'll call you.
Will you break off their engagement even if I go public...
that he isn't my son?
If this wedding falls through.
Dr. Seo will be the one telling people.
How could she say that?
I heard you threatened Jae Myung that if we break off
the engagement,
you'll go public about who Hae Joon's real father is?
What do you mean?
Is that Chairman Koo's idea?
He said you threatened him.
Didn't you?
It's the first time I've heard it.
Why didn't I think of that myself?
Thanks for telling me.
If you break off the engagement, I'll have to tell Hae Joon.
Are you kidding me right now?
Why?
Are you scared?
Are you afraid your son will find out...
he isn't Chairman Koo's son?
That you got pregnant from some other man before you got married...
Stop it.
That the man met an untimely death, so Chairman Koo...
became company president in exchange for saving you and him.
I said to stop.
That his father was your mom's assistant...
I said to stop!
Stop!
Yes, cry.
That's more like you.
You can't take me.
I hear you're leaving.
You know what will happen...
if you pretend to leave and meet Hae Joon secretly, right?
Do you want a gift? You'll be disappointed if I just leave.
A gift?
You hate Hae Joon, right?
Your loathing for him is greater than your love, right?
What is she babbling about?
You want to get revenge for what he did to you.
Even better if you can make him suffer more.
I'll get revenge for you.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Even if I want to revenge, I'll do it myself, so just leave.
If you pretend to leave and meet Hae Joon secretly,
you'll die for real.
You know from the experience how frightening my mom is.
She's scary and holds a grudge.
Those protesters were your mom's doing, right?
That was her being cute.
She'll kill you next time.
So don't even think about hiding and seeing Hae Joon secretly.
You poor thing. You have zero confidence.
Even if I leave, you still won't be able to win Hae Joon over,
and you'll keep stressing about it.
Whether I do or not, that's none of your business.
Just keep your promise.
This is my final warning.
Who cares...
whether some old ladies pull her hair and hit her?
Are you Jennis' bodyguard?
Just announce to the world that you're her knight in shining armor!
It was bad enough you fabricated a crime she didn't commit...
and fired her, but you humiliated her in public too.
Are you happy now? Was that your idea too?
Whoever did it, it was awesome.
I want to reward them!
Forget preparing for the wedding.
I'll register your marriage and tell Se Ra to move in!
Did you just sneer?
Why you little...
Let go of me!
I won't let you hit me anymore.
What was that? You...
Let go. Let go, you jerk!
What...
One of these days,
you'll kill someone with your words.
How did this happen to us?
We were best friends for 40 years...
that everyone envied.
Nothing can ever take priority before your child.
Even we became enemies.
I know I hurt you with my harsh words.
But...
it was all words.
I never meant to end our friendship.
But whereas you didn't hurt me with your words,
you really intended to end our friendship.
That breaks my heart,
makes me angry and sad.
I know it's hard now,
but I hope this experience will be a meaningful one.
Since we went through such a hard time,
I'm sure our relationship will become even more ironclad.
You know what I mean, right?
Did you really...
plan to go public with everything?
I'd never do that.
As long as you don't aggravate me,
that will not happen.
As in, you will if we break off the engagement.
Yoon Kyung, we can get along.
Give me some time.
I'll try to persuade Hae Joon.
Dragging it out won't help.
Just push him so he can't get any ideas.
You are so different from me.
You always were ever since we were young.
You were always confident,
arrogant, and you always thought you were the best.
I don't know why I thought you looked cool back then.
Probably because I was so different from you.
That's why we became friends.
Sure. I don't want our friendship to end like this either.
I'll call you.
Okay.
Bye.
Let go, you jerk!
Give up on my marriage.
I'd rather give up on you instead, you jerk.
Then give up on me.
Are you sure...
you won't regret that?
Can you give up your position as the heir?
Yes.
Write a note then.
Fine, I will.
But first,
there's something I really want to ask you.
Why do you...
hate me so much?
Why do you dislike me so much?
Money, the company, and your success...
were always more important to you than me.
Is that so wrong?
What? Are you scared because I said to write a note?
I can write you 100 notes.
My only wish ever since I was a child was to hear...
a warm word or compliment from you.
Do you know how hard I tried...
just to hear your compliment and make you smile?
But no matter how hard I tried,
you weren't interested in me.
I wanted to be a good dad...
and worked hard to be treated like one.
But you always clashed with me.
You were the only smart one,
the only caring one, and the only refined one!
You can try to act refined, but your blood...
Why do you consider me your rival?
Most dads treat their sons with love and affection,
and treat them like they're a part of them.
They don't treat them like a rival and object of envy.
It's because I'm not your biological dad. So what?
Don't give me that gibberish!
Are you protesting because you didn't like being my son?
Fine. Poor you, for having to live with a dad you didn't like.
I didn't like living as your dad at all either.
It was miserable!
Miserable?
Do you think I raised you for 30 years to hear this from you?
That's why they say not to take in a child.
It's a word of wisdom!
"Take in"?
What do you mean by that?
I had you and raised you. That's taking you in!
Are you arguing about semantics now?
Do you regret having me and raising me?
That's right, I regret it.
What parent wouldn't regret it when the child acts out?
If you don't like me, get out!
Why do you live in my house,
but do whatever you want?
Fine, I'll leave.
Why you...
What are you doing at home? Are you going somewhere?
I'm sorry, Mom.
About what? Is something wrong?
I'm moving out.
What are you talking about?
I'll call you.
Hae Joon!
Go. Get out.
That's so cathartic.
Did you fight with him?
What did you say, that he packed his bags and said he's moving out?
We didn't fight.
He's running away because he doesn't want to get married.
Did that jerk say he's leaving because of me?
Would he come home at this hour, pack his things...
and say he's moving out? You should've said something, right?
He got mad at me about kicking Jennis out,
and he lost his temper and left.
I didn't say a thing.
Did you kick Jennis out?
She was fired for embezzling.
He doesn't worry at all about the company.
All he cares about is Jennis.
If Jennis was fired and Hae Joon left home.
What if they run away and start a life together?
What?
Darn it. Call him right now.
Were those protesters...
your idea?
I should make her realize to her core...
what happens if she messes with my daughter.
It would be terrible if I get on your bad side.
I should be careful too.
That would never happen between us.
Anyway, it isn't very easy...
to find Jennis' mom as you have asked.
Did Assemblyman Hong make some headway?
Jennis' mom is in Korea.
She is?
What does she do?
We're still looking,
but she isn't an average woman.
I had expected that much.
Look at the daughter. The parents cannot be normal.
Have you heard anything...
about your missing daughter since last time?
No.
I've been too overwhelmed...
with Se Ra's marriage issue to think about it.
But recently, we've been getting strange...
You've been getting strange what?
Nothing. I'll tell you later.
Tell me whenever you want.
I'll help you in any way if I can.
I traced the caller,
but it was a payphone.
We're trying to find out about the mannequin,
but there were no witnesses, so we've made no progress.
You said the payphone was in Busan.
Yes, but there were no surveillance cameras in the area.
I'm sure he chose it for that reason.
What about dashcams?
You should check the dashcams of the cars that were on our street,
as well as of the cars that were near that payphone.
Of course we did.
But there were no leads.
That's why it'll be difficult...
to proceed further.
Fine. Poor you, for having to live with a dad you didn't like.
I didn't like living as your dad at all either.
It was miserable!
Miserable?
Do you think I raised you for 30 years to hear this from you?
That's why they say not to take in a child.
It's a word of wisdom!
- Kang Woo. - Hello.
Are you alone?
When was the last time you spoke to Hae Joon?
A few days ago. Why?
Then you must not know where he is.
Isn't he at work?
Would you get me some water...
and your new menu item?
The one the chairman suggested? Right away.
(My Son)
The phone is turned off.
Why did you turn off the phone?
Se Ra wouldn't know.
Would Jennis know?
Here it is.
Did something happen to Hae Joon?
No, it's nothing.
Watch.
This is how you eat this chicken.
Dip it in this sauce.
Jennis said...
she lives in Pine Park.
Ms. Cho?
Are you okay?
Yes. No...
I'm fine.
It has a nice spicy flavor.
A group of middle-aged women protesters.
That is...
Seo Eun Ha's level of sophistication.
She must not know...
that the more she hurts Yoo Jin, the more she antagonizes Hae Joon.
If they knew things like that, things wouldn't have come this far.
Since Hae Joon sincerely loves Yoo Jin...
A sex scandal is the quickest...
and the most certain way to ruin him.
Yoo Jin.
No, not that.
I'll do it.
I'll set the D-day as this Saturday and...
I'll leave on Sunday.
It's Hae Joon's mom.
What is she doing here?
I don't know.
Let her in.
Danny, keep watching and act as needed.
Okay.
What brings you here?
I'm sorry for barging in unannounced.
You have a guest.
He's my brother. Please have a seat.
I'll let you two talk.
You can stay.
Have you heard from Hae Joon?
I haven't spoken to him since this morning.
Is something wrong?
Hae Joon left home.
Hae Joon left home?
I think he left because he got angry after fighting with his dad.
He turned off his phone,
and he doesn't have anywhere to go.
I thought perhaps you'd know. That's why I came.
Don't worry too much.
Everyone wants to be alone at times.
That's probably why he turned off his phone.
I'm sorry to say this,
but please understand, as I am his mom.
If he asks you to leave with him...
or live with him somewhere,
please refuse.
Please talk him into going home.
That will never happen.
Okay.
You too. Please.
Same here.
My sister is going through so much because of...
Danny.
I'm also against my sister and Mr. Koo.
I'm sorry for barging in like this.
Please let me know if you hear from Hae Joon.
I will. Goodbye.
Did Hae Joon leave home?
He's helping me.
If he left home, he must be staying at a hotel.
I'll end it there.
I'll find out where he is.
Yoo Jin.
Let's rethink this.
I can do it.
(Mother, 72 missed calls)
(Mother)
Hello, Mom. It's me.
Why weren't you answering your phone?
Are you trying to kill me here?
Sorry.
Don't worry.
How could I not?
Where are you?
At a hotel.
Which hotel?
I'll tell you later.
I won't tell Dad, so tell me.
I'll go home after a few days.
Did you eat?
I ate.
Did he leave home because of you?
Whatever the reason is, it's a good thing.
I'll go to the hotel or wherever he is,
and do as planned.
You're not confident about it, aren't you?
You don't want to do it, right?
Are you testing me?
You can be honest with me.
I prepared 30 years for this.
I won't let myself be swayed by silly emotions.
I'm going to make up for disappointing Mom.
If I ruin Hae Joon completely, Mom will...
trust me.
So will you.
Let's come up with another plan...
The worst for Hae Joon is the best for us.
I'm thinking only about that right now.
Good night.
(Koo Hae Joon)
Hello?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Where are you?
I'm at home.
Liar.
Are you at a hotel?
Did my mom call you?
She came here because she was worried about you.
Why did you turn off your phone?
Did my mom say harsh things to you?
No.
She asked me to call if I heard from you.
She's very worried. Call her.
I already did.
Good.
Why do you sound so down?
Are you sick?
I was lying down, that's why.
Which hotel are you at?
Do you want to come over?
Just kidding.
Good night.
I need to know where you are.
I'm at the Shine Hotel. I'll call you tomorrow.
Good night.
Ms. Hong, are you okay?
I was worried because you showed up in a hospital gown a few days ago.
Hey.
I had some urgent matter I had to deal with.
I had no time to change.
Don't worry about it.
Did anything happen while I was out?
No. I covered it all for you.
Also, you heard Ms. Han...
was fired, right?
She sinned, so she should pay.
Do you feel okay?
How long has it been since the last time I saw you?
That was the longest I had gone without seeing you.
Why did you avoid my calls?
You didn't even want to talk to me?
What right do I have...
If you have no right, you avoid people's calls?
I thought it was best not to call until things were resolved.
I never knew you were so cold and uncaring.
I almost died because of you.
Must you be so cold to me?
There's nothing I can do for you.
I can't give you what you want. So you should...
It would hurt less to lose an arm.
You were my everything.
Was I nothing to you?
You don't care...
whether I die or live.
Is that all I meant to you?
I should've just died.
Then you...
would've cried for me, right?
How could you say that?
Don't do something stupid like that again.
What am I for you to...
Don't hurt yourself.
Hold me so I won't hurt myself.
Stay by my side...
as you have been.
I can't go back to you.
This is our reality.
You need to accept it.
I refuse.
It isn't over yet between us.
I'm going to take this to the end...
and see what happens to us.
Mother.
Hi, Se Ra.
Are you back at work? Do you feel okay?
It's hard, but it's better being at work than alone at home.
Sure. Don't do something like that again.
It's a stupidity. Okay?
What brings you here?
I came to see Hae Joon.
I'll talk to you later.
I saw Se Ra on my way here.
She lost so much weight. I feel so bad for her.
She resents you a lot, doesn't she?
She can't seem to move on.
I'm so worried.
Why did you suddenly say you want to move out?
I'm old enough.
How can I live without you?
I know you're mad,
but how could you leave home without consulting me?
Come home.
Pretend I'm studying abroad.
But I'm in Seoul, so you can see me often.
We can go on dates too.
You're not thinking about running away...
or moving in with Jennis, right?
She isn't that easy.
And you are?
No, I'm not.
I want to break off your engagement too,
but Se Ra and Dr. Seo are the problem.
They're impossible to talk to.
I'm afraid Se Ra will do something drastic again too.
And your dad is totally working with them,
so I get confused whether he's your dad or Se Ra's dad.
We're surrounded by enemies.
We can't break it off right now.
Let's postpone it for now.
It'll only make it harder for Se Ra.
I won't change my mind.
She'll take care of that herself.
Let's just say we want to postpone it.
- Mom. - Do as I say.
You look terrible.
Will you really not tell me which hotel it is?
Hae Joon must have left home and is staying at a hotel.
What if he's staying with Jennis?
He won't even tell his mother which hotel it is.
I'll call you back.
It's me.
I heard Hae Joon left home.
How could you let him leave right now?
What if he runs away with Jennis and starts a life with her?
Do you want to break off the engagement as well?
How could you say that?
It'll take time to persuade...
Then do it right.
I don't know what will come out of my mouth...
if I meet with him myself.
What if he moves in with Jennis?
What if they just have a baby?
You...
Is that what you want?
I don't like Jennis either.
Moreover, I trust Hae Joon.
He wouldn't do that.
He wouldn't do that,
but he cheats and breaks off his engagement?
Hey.
Don't trust your son so much.
How could you still defend him after how much he betrayed you?
What do you want from me? He left already.
Do whatever it takes to bring him home.
I'm going to register their marriage and tie him to Se Ra.
That doesn't work anymore in this day and age.
- Don't be ridiculous. - Why is that ridiculous?
If they're tied together by law, it's over.
My head hurts.
I don't want to think about anything including their marriage.
Let's postpone the wedding.
Hey.
Not call it off. Just postpone it.
That's the best way right now.
You need to calm down too.
Postpone the wedding?
That's the same as saying you want to call it off.
You bawled yesterday and begged for more time.
How dare you try to play tricks on me?
Yoon Kyung.
You're the one who made me use...
my final move.
I told her to postpone it, not break off the engagement,
so she wouldn't be able to bring that up, right?
What brings you here?
I never expected to have to tell you this.
But you did this to yourself,
so don't resent me.
What is it?
About your real parents.
My real parents?
Your parents...
aren't your biological parents.
You...
are not J Group's blood.
What do you mean?
I know you hate me, but...
The babies were switched.
The babies were switched?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you.
It's the truth about your birth.
The truth about my birth?
(Gracious Revenge)
I think Hae Joon sincerely loves Jennis.
You should consider it a blessing that he called off the wedding.
He's my enemy's son.
Focus on how to ruin him.
Hae Joon, don't you see me?
Hae Joon.
Everything you have, I created it for you.
You're lying because you hate me, aren't you?
Would you rather save your mom, Se Ra,
and yourself,
or would you rather let your mom and Se Ra die...
and choose Jennis instead?
