When you were too obsessed with finding Yoo Ra to care about...
what I was eating, doing, or thinking, or if I was hurt,
Hae Joon was the one who stayed by my side.
He did everything for me that you didn't.
You saved his life?
He more than paid you back for that.
Let's go.
Even if everyone else judges him, you have no right to.
It's degrading?
He isn't the one who's degrading, you are!
Se Ra!
(Episode 37)
Se Ra.
You can't drive like this.
Just go to Mom.
Where are you going?
I'll take you.
I want to be alone.
It's too dangerous to drive right now!
Do you want to go for a drive with me?
We can go eat something delicious.
I was taken for a ride.
It was hard for me because I was looking for Yoo Ra.
Every single day was miserable for me.
I won't go.
I won't go...
to Canada.
Why not?
As you say, we've prepared for 30 years.
Don't tell me to leave.
I'll leave when I want to.
After we complete our revenge.
Look how hard it is for you.
Are you sure you can do it?
Are you sure...
you can do it?
You always told me...
I could do it,
that I will do it, and that I must.
What about you?
How confident are you?
I'm confident.
As long as you don't get weak,
if you're with me,
I will not get weak.
Yoo Jin.
Is it strange for me to be this upset...
after hurting another person...
the way I did?
Am I weak and naive?
Do you know what I did?
Even if he is my enemy's son,
he was still sincere toward me. But I stabbed him in the back...
and stepped all over his feelings.
It hasn't even been one day,
but you have no patience for me...
and won't wait for me.
I'm disappointed in you.
Yoo Jin.
- I... - Do you want me...
to become a monster...
like them?
How could you say that?
I'm just worried you'll be hurt.
You said you trusted me.
I do.
Of course, I do.
I'm not sure.
At times,
you seem so distant.
Why do you think that?
I just...
needed you to comfort me.
"It's okay."
One warm word of comfort is all I needed.
I was afraid you'd be hurt, and that it was too hard for you.
I was too worried and nervous...
I got anxious.
I wasn't thinking.
I'm sorry.
When I was 10,
you said you and I could be happy...
only if we punished bad people.
You were just a child,
but you linked you pinky with mine,
and promised to punish them.
And I promised I'd live for you...
once we finish our revenge.
I never once forgot...
the promise I made you.
I still remember the sadness in your eyes...
clearly.
Yoo Jin.
Do you know what kept me going all this time?
Do you know what is keeping me going while I do this?
I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm the one...
who's weak, not you.
Just until today.
Let me be just until today.
Starting tomorrow,
I'll brush it off and get up.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You're right. I am weak.
The person I'm the most disappointed in...
is me.
I can't forgive myself...
for letting Hae Joon sway me...
and lying to you.
This is so nice!
How do you feel?
Do you feel refreshed?
No.
I feel like I can't breathe.
I'm fine, Dad. You keep it on.
If my daughter's warm, I'm not cold at all.
You hate me, don't you?
It's only natural.
I understand everything you said.
I'm sure your mom had her reasons,
but it's understandable that you felt that way.
- Oh no. - Sorry.
She was about that age...
when we lost your sister.
What parent wouldn't go crazy after losing a baby that young?
What parent could last a day without going crazy?
It's only because we had you...
that your mom was able to survive.
She would've survived even without me...
since she had to find Yoo Ra.
Her determination to find her...
is what has kept her going.
That isn't true.
I don't know what would've happened to us if we didn't have you.
I was cursed, not blessed...
from the moment I was born.
Do you have any idea how pathetic,
worthless,
and useless that made me feel?
I'm sorry, my daughter.
It's all my fault.
I should've been more attentive to you and Mom.
Mom and Dad will try harder from now on.
Please give us a chance.
My kindest and prettiest daughter.
Have you never seen someone eat before? Stop staring.
You look pretty, that's why.
Don't tease me.
I can guess how I look right now.
You're always the prettiest in my eyes.
Okay. Ask me anything you want to know.
Is there something I should be curious about?
Don't try so hard. You'll get sick again.
I'm fine.
I've moved on.
Then care for me too, from now on.
Don't get cheeky with your big sister.
How could you call your older brother "cheeky"?
Danny.
My heart flutters when you say my name like that.
Here.
She ate it all.
She'll be up and about by tomorrow at this rate.
She really did eat it all.
Bring her some fruit too.
- I'll peel them. - No.
Did she ask anything about Hae Joon?
No. She doesn't seem to want to ask or know.
I pushed her too hard.
I couldn't comfort her...
after she did something so difficult.
The poor thing.
Se Ra.
You should say hi to Mom first.
I'd rather just go to my room today.
Good night.
Okay.
What about Se Ra?
She's feeling better.
I thought you'd be sleeping and told her to go up.
Still,
how could she go up without coming to see me?
Did she repent?
We're the ones who should repent.
We're the ones who made her that way.
We gave birth to her...
and raised her that way.
Let her win this time, okay?
And let's postpone the wedding.
Hae Joon's case needs to be settled first.
Honey, you were against the marriage.
You were against it now,
but you say she should marry him now that he's involved in this mess?
Do you trust Jennis or Hae Joon?
I don't trust either of them.
Even if everyone trusts Jennis, we should trust Hae Joon.
He's the one who has been Se Ra's family when we weren't.
We have no right to give up...
until Se Ra does.
What did you two talk about?
There's nothing stopping Se Ra from doing something drastic again.
You need to let her win. No matter what.
What? Degrading?
If we're degrading, what does that make them?
Eun Ha was spewing out all sorts of nasty things.
Se Ra was fighting with her saying she'll get married.
The mother and daughter were a real sight.
I can't stand either of them anymore.
I'm so sick of everything.
What are you doing, Mom?
Hi. I'm grilling bar rice cakes.
You always liked having grilled bar rice cakes dipped in honey.
I'm almost done.
- Mom. - You startled me.
You need to eat well when you don't have an appetite.
Whenever you had no appetite as a kid,
I'd grill these up for you and you devoured them.
Eat this, okay?
Thanks, Mom.
Looks yummy.
I'll take that.
Did Hae Joon give you his laundry?
No, not yet.
Did he not unpack from the hotel? He should have a lot of laundry.
Hae Joon, are you inside?
Yes, I'm in here.
We're doing laundry. Where's your bag from the hotel?
It's in the car!
Okay.
I'm taking your car keys!
Okay!
Oh my gosh.
It smells bad. I'll take them out.
What do you need to keep from me, that you ran out into the cold?
It smells, that's why.
Go inside. It's cold out.
Goodness.
Are you going to work already?
Yes. This is Dad's scarf.
Have breakfast.
I'm okay.
At least have this shake. I didn't drink any of it yet.
Did you sleep well?
No, I didn't.
Why not?
Because you were angry at me?
Did you sleep well?
I didn't sleep a wink either.
Because you were angry at me?
That's right.
Are you happy you made me angry?
Fine. Let's stop.
I'll get going now.
But... Don't run. You'll fall.
You're our chief director. What are you doing?
Do you know what the search terms associated with J Group are?
I do.
Cheating, affair, broken engagement, assault,
and now, sexual assault.
But all of these incidents point to a single person.
And that person is Koo Hae Joon.
First, let's hear what Hae Joon has to say.
I apologize for making the company name...
linked to these disgraceful incidents.
I will accept all criticisms for everything that happened...
because of me, and I will take responsibility.
However, the claim about the crime is not true.
Do you have evidence to prove your innocence?
I do not.
This isn't the first time. You're a troublemaker.
Even if you are the owner's son, this incident...
has crossed the line.
He's right.
Resign.
The case is still being investigated.
We should assume he's innocent...
until they complete the investigation.
Of course.
We should give him the benefit of the doubt.
It won't be too late to discipline him...
after the investigation is completed.
For now, we must expend our efforts in stopping...
the accusatory stories and malicious posts about him.
Carry is absolutely right.
This is clearly retaliation for being fired.
Hae Joon is a sacrificial victim.
Why is the meeting taking so long?
Shouldn't we catch Jennis and bring her to the board.
Exactly. Poor Mr. Koo is taking all the heat.
I'm so curious, it's driving me crazy.
So why did you have to get involved with Jennis...
and have these rumors spread about you?
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
There is smoke at times without a fire.
A lot, actually.
You must be tired, defending him because he's your son.
What?
He must step forward and take responsibility.
How could someone at a fashion company commit sexual assault?
This is so humiliating.
Humiliating?
Please stop.
I'll take full responsibility.
I'll accept whatever punishment the board decides to give me.
I trust Hae Joon.
As an investor,
I will wait until his innocence is proven.
However, we can't ignore the opinions of the board members,
so what if...
he is placed on probation until the investigation is over?
How did it go?
I'll be put on probation.
Probation?
The company should step up and defend you.
It's true I caused the company harm.
They told me to resign, but Carry convinced them...
to end it at that.
Get to work.
I called yesterday. Didn't you know?
I didn't see it.
Shouldn't you at least apologize to me?
I can't even apologize anymore.
I trust you.
Jennis did this intentionally. She seduced you and got revenge.
Report her too.
Se Ra, I need to work.
You need to face the reality.
That's who Jennis, the woman you couldn't live without, was.
She was a calculating seductress.
Probation may be better than a resignation for us.
If we go back, will it be 2 against 2?
You're a pro.
Here. Try it.
Here.
You eat.
Mother went to the fish market early in the morning to feed you.
Here.
Do you feel sick again?
I feel like I can't breathe.
I'll get you some medicine.
That's stress-induced indigestion.
Can I go out? I feel suffocated here.
Not during the day.
Let's go out together at night.
This is a real prison.
Probation?
What if they transfer him to some remote area?
Consider it a vacation...
until the investigation is over.
Cases like these usually end in acquittals,
so don't worry.
He'll be acquitted, right?
Yes.
I heard Hae Joon was in an incubator...
when he was born and almost died a few times.
Yes.
You have no idea how nervous I was.
They say sickly children grow up to be healthy,
and they were right.
He's very healthy now.
His grandma took such good care of him.
She adored him like no other.
I'm sure.
He is her only grandchild.
She held Hae Joon's hand...
until the moment she passed away.
He's definitely her real son.
There's no doubt about it. He's her real son.
I want to break off the engagement right now,
but I've wronged Se Ra too much,
so I've decided to abide by her wishes.
It hurts our pride to have a son-in-law...
involved in such a thing,
and I'm sure you don't want to get married like this,
so let's postpone it until after the trial.
You tell your parents you want to postpone the wedding.
To Se Ra too.
Next March will probably be good.
But please promise me one more time.
Make sure my mom never finds out...
what I know about my biological parents.
Once you get married,
you and Se Ra will be one. Why would I tell anyone about that?
Just make Se Ra happy,
and I'll have no gripes with you.
Hello, Carry.
Hello.
You were here too?
I'll get going now.
But... Ms. Cho.
Please wait inside.
She's so immature.
She was adamant about breaking off the engagement.
I can't wait to see how she asks me...
to postpone the wedding.
Did something happen...
between the 40-year-long best friends?
She's mad because I wanted to break off the engagement.
She's the one that said it first.
Do you really plan to break off the engagement?
We'll see with time.
She came to talk about Hae Joon's accusation, right?
Why did Jennis do that to him...
when she was leaving anyway?
It's her true nature showing through.
Her cheap, vulgar, and nasty nature was surfacing.
You know. 'If I can't have it, no one can have it."
Hae Joon...
went to break up with her, but he was stabbed in the back...
and dumped.
Why did Hae Joon suddenly decide...
to break up with her?
The ball that you passed into his court...
must have been quite a ball.
That has nothing to do with that.
Please, don't tell Yoon Kyung...
about a ball, a final move, or things like that.
She hounded me about it, saying she heard it from you.
It was quite awkward.
I asked because I wanted to get you two to make up.
I know.
Chairman Wang is coming to Korea tomorrow.
We're going to sign the investment agreement.
That's great.
You are a great businesswoman.
I think that's more of your forte than being a doctor.
I need to learn from you.
Please teach me.
Sure.
Postpone our wedding?
This case may go to a trial.
It'll take a few months.
Let's get married once it's over.
Can I trust you?
What if you change your mind again?
What if Jennis sways you again?
That won't happen.
Sorry for hurting you.
I know I'm inadequate, but I'll try.
Okay.
The future is what matters.
Show me how you change.
Put the ring back on.
I will.
I told you...
you'll end up putting that ring back on.
Se Ra.
Yes?
If I were...
a poor orphan...
and not J Group's son, would you still marry me?
Why would you be a poor orphan?
Hypothetically speaking...
Even if I say I'm a poor orphan right now,
would you marry me?
That's not funny.
This is no time for jokes.
Sure. It was a joke.
She was upset enough about being fired,
so when you dumped her, she lost it completely.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
You looked like you were willing to give up your throne for her.
You're the real mystery.
- Check please. - Okay.
I...
am my mom and dad's son.
That's my fate.
It's cowardly, but I have no choice.
That's why I can't resent...
or hate her.
I miss her.
I miss her like crazy.
Don't think about it.
Forget it all.
Don't leave anything behind.
All of it.
Yes.
I relayed your message, Mr. Koo,
but she didn't say anything.
She doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore.
Just once. Please let me see her just once.
I only speak with her on the phone. I don't know where she is either.
At least let me see her brother.
I feel like...
my heart is going to explode like this.
Her brother can't be reached either.
Why is she doing this? Why?
Jennis?
Jennis.
It is you, isn't it?
Jennis.
Look at me.
Look me in the eye!
Why did you do this to me?
Why?
Why did you do this to me?
Tell me.
Why did you do this to me?
To get revenge.
Revenge?
(Gracious Revenge)
- Let's postpone the wedding. - No.
You'll really break off the engagement? Se Ra agreed?
Did you think I'd agree to whatever you say?
Not a chance.
Let me be next to you as a man.
I like you.
Please tell Jennis...
that if her goal was to ruin me,
she will never succeed.
That was a trap Jennis set for Mr. Koo.
Jennis started the fight,
so I won't avoid it.
Tell her I'll fight.
