----
I am sorry.
Are you okay? One moment please.
Ouch...
I'm going to do something crazy right now...
be angry at me later.
I can't stand it any longer.
We're in front of the president.
Can you please behave yourself?
What in the world is this...?
Episode 21
I knew I'd put you into an awkward position...
but I did it anyway.
I'm sorry.
Habit is a scary thing.
I really hated that meeting.
I thought of running away more than a dozen times...
but my body froze because I was in front of your mother...
I couldn't move my body.
My thoughts told me to run away.
But my body...
was calmly sitting down.
I thought I finally got away with it.
I am such an idiot, aren't I?
I am a bigger idiot for still going to that kind of a meeting
when five years have passed since my divorce.
It's not because you're stupid...
nor is it because you couldn't escape.
That's normal.
You once lived as a...
family.
You're late.
Let's go in and talk.
Why are you here?
Go back.
Why can't I go in when even Seo Ji-gon goes in. I am your husband after all.
Open it.
What are you doing?
It's about time you stop all this and go back to where you belong.
Hyun-gi.
You don't care about me, do you?
Can't you hear me?
Can't you see my face?
I can.
That's why I let you off until now.
Is it not enough to embarrass me and make me look like a fool in front of Mr. Lee?
How long are you gonna keep doing this?
Stop it.
Stop.
Ouch.
Don't be startled.
It doesn't hurt a bit.
A cut like this...
is nothing compared to...
the pain you gave me.
Now...
I loathe both you...
and your mother.
I'm sure...
that you've changed...
and not me.
Yes. That's right.
I have changed.
So...
let's stop now.
So...
after following her like that. Did you get her?
We can't take it like this.
We have to first...
spread rumors about her abandoning her family and have revenge...
Please stop it.
If you took care of it in advance, this wouldn't have happened!
What are you going to tell the president?
As if it's not enough that she cut off our bloodline... now you!
It's not her fault...
that you won't have a grandchild.
It's my fault. I did the surgery 5 years ago.
You're going to take her side until the end, huh?
Confirm it with Dr. Yoon later.
You...
you...
Why did you?
I was scared.
That the happiness for having a child will not last long once again.
I was scared.
So the person who deceived her for the past five years is...
your son.
Hyun-gi.
Yes. That's right.
I have changed.
So...
let's stop now.
If you don't check carefully...
because we've traded with them for a long time...
then you're bound to get bad ones like this.
You have to check every single one.
Really?
But you took care of it until now, Mi-soon.
From now on, you take care of it.
Did I not tell you to cook in order?
How many times do I have to tell you to put in soy sauce first?
Are you going to assist forever?
If you're going to cook properly,
make sure you keep the basics.
I told you to put ingredients on the board you're going to cut!
You'll have an accident if it's messy on the sides. So clean frequently.
Put the rag under the board so it doesn't slip.
Mi-soon.
Are you going somewhere?
Hey!
I told you to pay attention in the kitchen!
I'm sorry.
Gosh.
You guys are like this when I'm here.
I wonder how the kitchen will run when I am not here.
Even if you're not here, we'll have no problem. So get out!
Everyone listen.
Starting today, Mi-soon will not be working in the kitchen anymore.
Pardon?
Father.
Don't make a ruckus and just go quietly.
Father.
I worked in this kitchen for almost 20 years now.
So what? Do you think we're going to run out of business without you?
Have you lost your respect for me, because people kept flattering you?
How dare you act all high and mighty when I am right in the kitchen?
I was just worried.
We won't fail just because you're not here.
So don't act arrogantly and make a mess in the kitchen.
And get out as soon as possible.
How long are you gonna keep running away?
Aren't you going to work?
Mind your own business. Han Mi-soon.
Make some time in the afternoon.
- With kids... - I’m busy.
I'm going to tell the kids today.
Stay with me when I do.
Jin-hwa, Sun-hwa...
I need you to take care of them for a while.
You're going to leave without the kids?
Only for a while.
Once I get settled...
I'll come to take them.
How come you always...
give report like this without discussing.
You once said you liked it because you didn't have to worry about anything.
Now it sounds like a report to you?
Okay.
Then this is a request.
Please come out later.
Our relationship has ended...
but you're still a father to the kids.
Don't forget.
How is this...
How is this a request?
Han Mi-soon.
She's leaving without the kids?
Food F-1?
Of course I know.
I'm close with the chief editor there too.
I have to stop by there later. Do you want to eat lunch?
You want to? It's my first magazine gig, so I had a lot to ask you anyway.
Okay.
I'll go to the studio so that you can meet the chief editor as well.
How's Mother and Father?
I thought they'll both fall ill but it seems like they're okay.
Hye-ryung, I'm late. I'll see you later.
Isn't that company affiliated with mine?
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But...
What the hell were you thinking, letting your wife behave that way?
Suh Ji-geon likes my wife.
Are you saying that he's doing that on his own when your wife doesn't care for him?
Truth is...
I had an argument with my wife.
And then Ji-geon approached my distressed wife...
in a guise of a friend and is trying to win her heart.
But my wife doesn't hold the same interest.
Are you still thinking about taking Ji-geon as your Son-in-law?
My daughter...
said it has to be him.
Is that all?
I have to know everything in order to help you.
Like you said...
my daughter's mistake was crucial.
She wants to renew their relationship
but he would not give her second chances...
so she got married with another man.
It was out of anger...
and she still longed for him...
so of course it can't go smoothly.
My daughter...
was happiest when she lived with him.
They have a kid.
They do?
There's no choice.
I need to call her back right now.
No.
In a situation like this...
your daughter is no help.
The kid.
There's nothing that unites a couple stronger than their kid.
I tried to do some decorations on my own. What do you think?
Ma'am.
What are you doing?
This is my workplace.
If you have anything to say... let's go out...
I see that this workplace takes in anyone who has connections...
regardless of their skills, experience and ethics.
What do you mean?
Getting a job with your husband's connection while cheating on him...
You've been mistaken about something.
Didn't you know that this company is affiliated with mine?
How can you make such an innocent face?
No wonder men fall for it.
I really didn't know.
I'll quit right away.
And stop trying to seduce my son-in-law as well.
Watch what you say please.
It's not what you think.
And from what I know, he divorced already.
My daughter and my son-in-law have a child.
The two will get back together soon.
How dare you tarnish our name with this dirty scandal?
Is this the right place?
I didn't know you were with a customer.
This is the last warning.
If my grandchild ends up knowing about you...
I'm not going to stop at this.
What's up with that lady?
What did she do to you?
Ju-young.
Excuse me, lady!
Lady?
Who are you? Why are you so rude to my sister?
Get rid of her.
Please move.
I guess there still are vulgar people like you in this country.
You don't even know who I am.
You're funny.
Well, you do look familiar. Who are you anyways?
Are you...
Goodness.
I'm sorry. Hyun-gi kept on insisting.
Hye-ryung.
Your husband is feeling a lot of guilt.
Can you just look over it once?
Hye-ryung.
Are you seeing someone?
Well.
Am I?
I didn't do anything.
But everyone is telling me to stop.
Mother went to the workplace where Hye-ryung works at.
She got so mad and demanded that I give her your number, but I said I didn't know.
I really don't know what's wrong with our mother.
Let's talk later.
Didn't you hear me?
Just go please.
I came out because...
I'm sick of getting scolded for no reason.
But why am I the guilty...
and why do I have to suffer like this?
This is all because of you.
Why is it me?
Aren't you the genius doctor that even the wealthy family is still hung up on?
Why would you like someone like me? I can't do anything right, even my divorce.
Is it because you pity me?
I guess I am pretty pathetic.
I'm always in some kind of pathetic situation whenever you see me.
But...
that's all your fault.
You are the one who came to me when I was in that kind of situation.
And I thought you divorced 5 years ago. What's wrong with your ex-mother-in-law?
My teacher is finally being smart.
You're not blaming yourself...
and you're not keeping it to yourself.
You're right.
She's the weird one.
And it is all my fault.
Don't hide from others and don't be apologetic to anyone.
Scream when you're angry, and hit me if you can't stand it.
Just remember how pretty you are...
and how much of a good person you are.
Good job.
Very good job.
I really can't understand.
He already divorced, so why do you care if he meets a married woman...
or even a guy.
Leave if you're going to talk nonsense.
Even I think that you should not have gone there.
Woman knows fellow woman.
She's no ordinary woman.
If we don't charge of the matter now, it will be out of control later.
Ji-geon.
I'm glad that you guys are home.
You should've called before you came.
Let's go in.
No. I'll talk right here.
I met you two when I was 20.
I know you trusted me more than you trusted Kang-min.
Relationship with Kang-ji ended a long time ago...
but I wanted to keep a good relationship with you.
But I was wrong.
That relationship. I'll cut it.
How dare you!
Listen to me first.
I don't know what she said. But I...
You crossed the line.
Are you really willing to end the relationship with us...
because of that woman?
I...
I have one-sided love for her...
So...
stop harassing her.
Thank you for everything.
Be well.
Mother, you really.
I knew this would happen.
Ji-geon!
Take care of everything fast...
and have Young-woo come to Seoul as soon as possible.
Our little princesses look so pretty.
I look like my mom.
Mom, you said buying clothes was a waste because we'd grow out of it soon.
It's okay today. Buy everything you want.
And eat everything you want too.
Jin-hwa, you said you had a presentation next week, right?
Let's buy something for that too.
Mom, are you going somewhere?
Huh?
I just thought it'd be a good idea to buy everything while we're at it.
Should we buy a dress?
Mom, buy me a dress too.
Okay, okay.
Don't be surprised.
I'll buy you guys a cell phone today.
Wow!
Aren't you happy, Jin-hwa? You wanted one.
Grandpa said not to buy one.
He'll buy it for me when I'm in middle school. Grandma's not even here.
I'll get approval from grandpa.
I'm gonna go home!
Jin-hwa.
Jin-hwa!
Mom.
Oh! Se-ri!
What were you doing? You didn't even notice me coming.
I was making a serious plan for our future.
Here.
What is this?
You know that I have no place at the kitchen right?
So I looked in to opening a franchise shop.
Franchise?
Oh... well...
You don't have much money...
and you're still a CEO.
So let's do this later...
I am, Bong Man-ho, a rising star of this generation.
Don't worry, Se-ri.
I'm going to be a real CEO, not some fake one.
Man-ho.
I'm.. I'm hungry.
Really? That's no good.
Here, order everything.
I, future franchise CEO, will buy you everything.
Excuse me!
We'll order...
What?
She threw something at you?
Oh, are you hurt anywhere?
Don't you have to put more splints?
It's okay.
Even the hospital said it was close.
And...
this.
Wow, this is really.
Do I have to do everything said on there?
No! Of course not.
You probably don't have to do all this.
It doesn't matter. I just need you by my side.
Even if I have to eat rolls like this all day, I still have you.
Just rolls...?
Don't you have to answer the call?
It's okay.
I'll probably get embarrassed in front of my kids anyway.
When she leaves, I'll do more for Jin-hwa and Sun-hwa.
She's leaving without the kids?
Yea, isn't it good?
Jin-hwa.
Are you not going to talk to me?
I'll be really sad...
if my daughter keeps at it like this.
Sun-hwa.
Go and show grandma all these pretty clothes you bought.
Okay.
Jin-hwa. Talk to me.
What made you so angry? Hm?
Mom.
Are you going to divorce dad?
My friend's mom also bought cell phones and clothes and gave them money...
and everything before she got divorced.
And she left home.
Oh, Jin-hwa.
Mom.
Are you leaving us?
I'm not leaving you guys.
I'll come back to take you soon, okay?
Take good care of your sister.
And listen to grandparents.
Wait patiently...
You're leaving us!
If you leave us, I'm going to bully Sun-hwa and I won't listen to grandparents.
Jin-hwa!
Min-jung!
Why are you crying?
Don't talk to me today, please.
I don't want to meet anyone in the Bong family.
Well, what's wrong?
Wait. Did my sister say something to you again?
Gosh.
Oh! Why are you crying?
You should know why she's crying. What did you say to her again?
I didn't say anything!
It's my first time seeing her today.
Stop lying!
Within our family, you're the only one that would bully her.
You know her heart is tender and soft. Why are you doing this?
Min-jung. Say something. Did I bully you?
Honey. Sam-sook. It's not that...
Uncle!
Oh hey.
Is Se-ri here?
Your mom took Se-ri somewhere.
Gosh. Where did she go? Okay.
Min-jung.
You bastard! I'd be happy to see you die and rot in Siberia.
Aunt.
Don't call me aunt ever again.
Do you know what it feels like for a mother to leave her kids?
You bastar... mother f...
You assho...
Stop. The customers are watching.
Oh. Min-jung. You're so soft-hearted that you can't even curse.
Goodness. Stop it, stop.
Sure. I'm the loser, and I'm the trash.
But still, how could she hit me in the head... It's not like I am a kid.
What is she going around and telling people exactly?
Did you forget your promise to kids today?
I didn't make any promises.
I told you to act like a proper father for the kids.
Why? Are you going to hit me?
Yea sure. Go ahead and hit me. Hit me!
Bong Man-ho.
Listen carefully.
If you do something that makes kids cry in my absence...
I won't let you get away with it...
You're the one who's leaving the kids behind.
So stop threatening me. It's a mutual feeling of hatred... so...
Let's not see each other ever again.
Good job.
Jin-hwa, have you been treating your husband like this the whole time?
No, father. It's not that...
Is Man-ho your son?
No matter what, he's still the father of your kids and a husband of yours.
How dare you let out your anger like that?
Father.
Stop playing around and get inside.
Yes sir.
Mom.
What are you doing here?
I don't want to see you. Go in.
Does it have to be like this?
Are you trying to keep your distance?
Sun-hwa.
Why are you so pretty again?
Because I take after you, mom.
Yes.
Sun-hwa. You're my daughter.
Don't forget.
Okay. I'm your daughter.
Sun-hwa.
You told me once...
that you wanted me to be famous, right?
Yes. My friends told me that they saw you on TV, so I was very happy.
You know... Sun-hwa.
Because of that...
I might have to...
go somewhere far away for work.
Grandma, grandpa, aunt, father...
they will take a good care of you.
You can wait patiently with Jin-hwa, right?
When are you coming back?
When you...
eat well...
and exercise well too...
so that when you grow up to be this tall.
How many nights is that? 5 nights?
No. A little bit more.
Then 10 nights?
No.
A little bit more than that.
Then how many nights is that? How many nights will it be?
Mom.
Jin-hwa...
Mom, you can go.
I'm fine now.
I'll wait together with Sun-hwa.
Jin-hwa...
You won't even be able to work in a restaurant if we followed you.
Dad can't even give us money because he doesn't have any.
Then you're going to be the only one suffering.
Come back for us...
after you make lots of money.
Jin-hwa. I'm sorry.
I will be sure to come back for you.
I will really come back for you. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry Jin-hwa. I'm sorry.
Sam-bong. How much are you going to give Mi-soon?
Give what money? I paid her salary every month at the restaurant.
What about her alimony?
She worked so hard all her life. I'd give her 100 million dollars if I had.
100... 100million?
This woman... do you even know how much that is?
I mean, am I the one who got divorced?
Tell her to get it from her husband. Or you can give it to her.
What money does Man-ho have?
Everyone knows of Mi-soon's hard work, including us.
She was like a daughter to us.
Let's not be so cold-hearted.
She's even leaving her kids behind,
we should at least give her money to get a place to live.
She's the one that decided to leave.
Stop bothering me and get out.
Are you going to be like this, Sam-bong?
Are you going to take all that money when you die?
Yes, I'm going to take it all. So I can't give any!
So shut your mouth.
I sacrificed my 20s here.
But there's nothing left for me.
Do you think we're going to run out of business without you here?
You're the one who's leaving without the kids.
So stop trying to threaten the innocent.
The feeling of hatred is mutual, so let's not see each other ever again.
Mom. Where's mom?
Sun-hwa. Mom will be back soon.
That's right Sun-hwa. Good girl!
That's right. Daddy will do everything for you today. Do you want your hair tied?
No! I don't want it! Mom.
I don't want it.
Stop crying, Sun-hwa.
You promised that you won't cry.
If we cry, mom won't come soon.
If we don't cry, will she come fast?
Yes. So don't cry and listen to grandma.
Okay.
Let's get ready for school.
Now that I look at it, Jin-hwa is exactly like her mother.
Yea. I thought it was her for a second.
How can she sound exactly like her? Wow.
Are you happy? Are you? Because your wife isn't here?
You know you'll have to pay for this one day, right?
Wow. Chul-soo, Chul-soo. Chul-Chul-soo!
Why are you dressed so nicely?
You missed your chance of becoming the glowing star chef.
Okay. So how do you feel about coming back as a doll cleaner?
Hey. There's dirt here under the nose. Right here.
That's right. Clean the ears as well. Here.
Good good. Chul-soo, you're really good at cleaning dolls.
Hey. Do you have any interest working in this field? I can train you well...
Hey, what are you doing to your boss!
You did it on purpose, didn't you?
Yes.
Why?
Because you're dirtier than the doll.
What?
Why you little!
You stopped me?
Oh, you're gonna be like this, huh?
Starting today, you will work beside me in the kitchen.
I watched you closely until now.
You have great dedication, as well as good palate and dexterity.
Learn from me for couple of years.
- 5 dollars. - Don't worry.
I already took account of your cleaning work.
You don't owe any more, Chul-soo.
Good bye.
Are you going to pass up on this precious opportunity?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know she would visit so abruptly.
Can you make some time for me? I need to talk to you.
Reason why I asked Joo-young...
You didn't trust me.
I'll admit it.
Because I did well in school,
I thought I would be able to get a job easily, if I leave your shadow.
But that's not true.
I, Bong Hye-ryung...
is nothing if I'm not a part of...
your family.
But still, don't do this again.
From now on I want to do it on my own, whatever it is.
I'm going to do it myself even if I have to start from the bottom.
This is what I wanted to say.
Okay.
Let's live separately like this.
Separately, like when we were dating.
You can start from the bottom if you'd like, and you can do it alone.
But...
stay by my side as my wife.
That's an interesting condition.
I can live freely just as I like.
And as your wife, I get all the perks of being a wealthy family's daughter-in-law.
It will be much better if we just prolong the title of husband and wife, right?
We don't have to give our parents a hard time either.
- Think carefully. - You said it.
It's better to be hated.
But Hyun-gi.
I don't even...
hate you anymore.
I don't feel anything.
Is it okay even if I have no feeling for you whatsoever?
No.
You can come back.
Right now you're weak and you might hate me.
And Ji-geon approached you at this time...
That's why you're confused.
Of course it's possible.
- But... - Yes.
I feel confused.
But my wanting to end it all with you has never faltered
since I left that house, not even once.
I'll leave first.
Call me as soon as you finish the paper work.
Hm?
Thank you.
Is someone pregnant?
Why do you care?
You were looking at those baby shoes with such tender eyes.
Mind your own business.
You spy on me when I am not looking at you,
but you get angry if I am nice to you.
You're very weird.
Anyways...
don't you think your mother was too harsh?
Is your family so great that you must control the son-in-law who left five years ago?
Frankly, it's wrong for a married woman to be seeing a man other than her husband.
You don't even know anything about my sister.
By any chance, is your sister going to divorce, because of my brother?
I get a headache if I talk to you for more than a minute.
Let's just mind our own businesses.
Oh Mi-soon, the pork...
Go get the pork from the fridge.
Okay, chef.
What are you doing over there?
Mi-soon used to organize the meat by the date it will be used...
but it's not organized today, since she's not here.
Hey, you can't even take care of this?
I'm sorry.
Can I get some chilli oil?
Why do you look for chilli oil in the kitchen?
Isn't it on the tables?
The customer said it smelled funny so...
We used to fill it up with the ones Mi-soon made...
Won't you guys pay attention?
Jerk.
Should've said good bye before leaving.
She doesn't even have any money. Where could she have gone?
So what are you going to do now? You have to get a job.
Me? I came home early because I felt tired.
Mom doesn't know anything right now.
She would collapse if she found out about your situation.
Yes. I feel confused.
So in the middle of the medical center
will be an outpatient clinic for VIP services...
and to make it a best neurology center in the country. That's the president's plan.
Do you want it to be a place where only the rich will receive surgery and care?
Patient's urgency decide its order, not by their money.
If we can use the profit for the ordinary people...
wouldn't it be better?
Didn't you ever think that rationalization will make a hospital into a company?
Hospital needs to be like a hospital.
I hope you don't get sidetracked by such sentimental empathy
and keep professional attitude.
That kind of meritocratic attitude in absence of empathy engenders moral apathy.
If mom found out about your situation, she'll collapse.
Gosh. What am I thinking right now?
Mrs. Ahn. Are you getting off work right now?
Oh. What brings you here?
I was just passing by.
Oh. Hye-ryung will come out soon.
I just wanted to see her for a bit.
I'll send her in soon.
Did she say she was home?
Don't you have something to say?
Take a look at these. See how your daughter has been behaving all this time.
Who are you? Who are you to cause my daughter such humiliation?
Look carefully. Do you have the right to criticize me?
I can't reach her. Did something happen to her?
I have a present for you. I think you'll like it.
