EPISODE 13
I had a blast today.
We took a nice trip and had loads of delicious food.
I'm happy that you had a great time.
Mom?
Who is she?
-Well-- -Who is she?
-But… -Move.
Why is she living with you when she should've returned to the States?
Mom, you see--
Who are you? Tell me who you are.
-What are you? -Mom, that hurts.
Mom?
Mom!
Mom.
How can this be?
This is insane.
No…
she's our Ha-ni.
Mom, don't be ridiculous. How can she be Ha-ni?
As if I wouldn't…
recognize my own daughter.
Mom.
I…
I missed you so much, Mom.
Right.
Ha-ni.
When did you get so old?
Did I?
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's investigation into
Joa Confectionery regarding the metallic substances
-found in its baby snack revealed… -They're always in trouble.
Those who mess with children's food
-should be ruined. -The boycotting of
Joa's products has spread online…
Don't be sick, okay? I hate to have to grow up.
Stop it. This is embarrassing.
Dad, I'm stronger than you now.
You must be so proud.
Of course, I am.
Yu-hyeon.
Yu-hyeon?
Yu-hyeon.
Yu-hyeon!
Yu-hyeon, can you turn on the lights?
Uncle, it's Do-yun.
Can't you see me?
So the lights weren't off.
Dad!
Why the hell did you call him?
Dad.
Are you okay? I heard you collapsed.
Something happened at work, and it shocked him a little.
He'll be all right.
Are you really okay?
You're not ill, are you?
I told you I'm not.
I'm busy dealing with the mess at work,
so hurry back.
Have all the products been recalled?
We have recalled all the products and announced that we'd be
-paying compensations. -Do-yun…
We should talk once you're done briefing my dad.
Sure.
Yu-hyeon…
must be shocked.
It seems that way.
I'll explain my condition to him when I can,
so cover for me for the time being.
He may be older now, but he's still emotionally fragile.
He'll have a hard time coping with my illness.
Of course. You can count on me.
He had to lose his mother first,
and here I am also hammering nails into his heart.
I'll talk to him and send him home. You should get some rest.
I heard what happened on the news.
Was he shocked because of that?
Yes.
This will damage our company's business,
as well as its reputation.
What do we do now?
We'll solve things one step at a time.
Don't you worry about it.
I guess there's nothing I can do at a time like this.
Is Dad really all right though?
Of course. He'll get better once he rests.
Thanks, Do-yun.
I'm glad that he has you at a time like this.
Let's go. I should head back inside.
Why isn't Aunt here though?
I thought she'd be the first one here.
She's busy with damage control.
I'm here on her behalf.
I couldn't care less about what you think,
but this is as far as you go with your doubts and suspicions.
I know you were all alarmed after receiving the call at this hour.
What I'm about to tell you is confidential, so bear that in mind.
Our company has never been met with a crisis
of this size before.
However, even in this gravest of times,
the chairman's health is also at great risk.
So until this crisis is over, we'll enter a state of emergency management
with me holding the reins.
Girls, pack your bags.
What?
When you're at work during the day, Ha-ni…
I doubt she's been eating properly.
So for now, you'll stay with Ha-yeong.
No.
I mean…
Yes, let's go.
We'll get to see Grandma
and Dad will visit us too.
I already told you he's busy working in Daejeon.
But I want to see him.
We have a lot to pack up anyway,
so just leave for now.
I'll come by soon.
Right, sure.
Ha-yeong, let's go.
Sure thing, Mom.
I won't be gone long, so stay put.
But I'd like to walk you out as well.
It's cold outside.
I'll come by again soon, so stay here.
Got it.
Wait.
Doesn't she know?
I still don't believe it's true,
but let's say that she really is the younger you.
How can she not know that Dad is dead?
I think…
she traveled to this timeline before the incident happened.
Okay, then.
Make sure…
-she never finds out. -Got it.
Thanks, Mom.
I'm sorry, Ha-yeong.
Don't mention it.
There's no need to apologize to me.
Call me if you need anything.
Are you sure you're okay though?
You know…
It wasn't that bad.
At times…
I felt as if someone had sent her to me as a gift.
Right, I see.
Now I understand what brought on this change.
Well, head inside then.
I wanted to go with Mom, you know.
It's tough enough for her and Ha-yeong because of Grandma.
We'll only be making things harder for them.
We'll visit them some other time.
Got it.
It's fascinating though.
I wonder how Mom recognized me.
It's because she's our mom.
Lastly, despite the role being aimed by other talented actors,
-Ms. Kim Bok-sun's-- -Stop.
Ms. Kim hates having her full name mentioned.
Oh, right.
Why do you think
you were chosen by Ms. Kim for the role?
I guess
my sincerity got through to her.
Your sincerity?
She saw me put my heart on full display
and witnessed my inner beauty
from how serious I am about people and my work.
I see.
Thank you for making time out of your busy schedule to talk to me.
Don't mention it. The pleasure was all mine.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
It's been a while since he had an exclusive interview.
Right.
Gosh.
-Here you go. -Oh, right.
-I hope it turns out well. -Sure.
-Thank you. -No problem.
-Thank you so much. -Sure.
Thank you!
Gosh. Good job.
-It's been a while? As if. -I'm not wrong, you know.
Anthony!
What is it?
You've been asked to be in a mobile phone ad.
This is for you to use.
A mobile phone ad?
Will you soon be at the top again?
It's nothing new, so don't get excited. Act natural.
What is it?
The color is of a radiant shade of violin.
It's just my style.
Anthony, it's violet, not "violin."
Ta-da.
There.
Every shot looks like a photo shoot.
To celebrate your interview today and the mobile phone ad,
why don't we get lunch at someplace decent?
I can't. I have someplace to visit before my life gets hectic again.
-Are you here for something specific? -Yes, a gift, actually.
Can you recommend a product for dry skin?
This one is popular these days. Would you like to try it?
Sure.
I quite like it.
I'll take a set.
No, two, please.
-What? -This is weird.
-What do you mean? -You've been off work for days.
How long is this break?
I'll be back at the office soon.
-Did you get fired? -Of course not.
By the way, shouldn't the contest results be out by now?
Oh, that. You see…
Someone must be here. Who is it?
Anthony, what brings you by?
No way. It's Chun-sik again.
How annoying.
Get ready to be annoyed…
with this high-quality beef.
Gosh, Chun-sik. It's cold outside. Hurry inside.
Thanks.
Don't just stand there.
Bring our guest a beverage.
Gosh.
Don't forget. No milk since that'll upset his stomach.
Unbelievable.
What brings you by though?
I'll be busy soon,
so I came to see your pretty face before that happens.
Hey, what are you doing? That's disgusting.
-What's with you? -I feel even more disgusted.
Surprise. I got you a gift.
Nice! Chun-sik…
I mean, Anthony, you're the best.
-You're the best, Anthony. -What is this?
It's a token of gratitude.
I owe your daughter one.
Let's go eat something nice.
What about the beef you bought?
Have it next time.
Today, I'll treat you guys to a full-course meal.
Anthony, you're amazing.
-Is this steak? It looks delicious. -Enjoy.
-It looks yummy. -Will you be quiet?
Let her be. Look how happy she is.
I'll buy you this often.
You can't eat Western food without soup.
Don't they have soup here?
I need to have soup with pepper to stimulate my appetite.
Western food, soup, and pepper?
That's so old-fashioned.
How do you know about that?
She's very old-fashioned.
No, I don't think that's it. She's a bit weird.
Why do you think I'm weird?
I didn't get a chance to ask you this at the audition,
but how did you know I used to love salad bread?
-I told her. -No.
It didn't seem like she knew because someone told her.
She was very confident and talked as if she'd seen it herself.
Let me ask you this.
Could it be that she's not your daughter…
and actually you from the past?
Are you nuts?
What kind of nonsense is that?
Right, sweetheart?
Yes, exactly.
Gosh, Chun-sik is really weird.
-You're weird. -You really are.
I guess so. I've been watching movies about time traveling these days.
Because of that, I keep getting these funny ideas.
My imagination's been going crazy.
Eat up.
Let me take this call.
Okay.
Where are you going?
Hello?
What? Really?
Thank you. Okay, bye.
Hey, Old Lady.
Yu-hyeon, did you get a call from the office?
Yes, they told me to come back to work.
Did you also get a call?
Yes, I think the misunderstanding finally got resolved.
See? I told you everything will be okay.
Yes, you were right.
I'll see you tomorrow, Old Lady.
We couldn't find any evidence to prove it was plagiarized.
So we decided to settle the issue just by canceling their award.
Okay, you may leave.
I never should've trusted you.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Do you think I'm a joke?
No, that's not it.
I just figured doing what's not right
would eventually end up
harming the family in the long run.
"Family"? You don't even deserve to say that word right now.
Okay. Just leave.
I'm sorry, Mother.
What's all that?
I'm going to take this to Ha-ni tomorrow.
I doubt they were able to eat anything decent on their own.
Mom, do you actually believe that?
Do you think you won't be able to recognize your son
after all those years?
I'm sure she's Ha-ni.
I don't know why this is happening,
but I'm sure there's a reason.
You're so much prettier now.
Your skin looks so soft. It makes you glow.
Let's see.
We really do look alike.
Do you think so?
Then why don't we try something?
Make a face. Ta-da.
Take a look.
Gosh, it actually looks like someone took a selfie.
-Right? -Yes.
I think it's cool too.
Can you send me this?
Once I go back, I want to look at it every time I miss you.
Can't I take this?
I don't think you can.
That's the saddest thing ever.
Instead, I'll use it as much as I want here.
Oh, right.
Okay.
I thought you still had a few days off.
Why are you suddenly going to work?
Something came up.
I see.
Something's happened to Joa Confectionery.
What do you mean?
Look. There are tons of articles.
What is this?
JOA CONFECTIONARY
What?
JOA CONFECTIONARY RECALLS BABY SNACK WITH METALLIC SUBSTANCES
I saw the articles last night, and I was shocked.
You saw them too?
I wonder if the chairman is okay.
Stuff like this keeps happening.
I'm sure he's fine.
Yu-hyeon, is there something wrong?
You don't look well.
I just have a lot on my mind due to a few things.
I don't know what's going on,
but if you ever need my help, let me know whenever.
You were a big comfort to me,
and I want to do the same for you.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Ms. Bahn.
I'm glad things worked out.
See?
I told you she would never do something like that.
You weren't the only one who said that. We all thought the same thing.
Thank you all so much for trusting me.
I'm glad you're back.
Yes, thank you.
But what happened?
The articles seemed really serious.
The whole company's been troubled because of that.
Some say there will be
disciplinary measures after the investigation is over.
That's not all.
Mothers are furious at us for messing with baby snacks,
so they even started boycotting our products.
It's a complete mess.
Thanks to that, our stock price…
It went down even more.
Gosh, I'm doomed. This is so bad.
We're trying our best to deal with it,
so try not to get too swayed and just focus on work.
-Okay. -Got it.
-Okay. -Let's get back to work.
-Let's go. -What is that?
Thank you for helping me.
I'll make sure you're not held responsible,
so don't worry.
Actually, I've been thinking…
Compared to the risk I'm taking,
I don't think I'm getting enough out of this.
I don't know what you're scheming,
but I'm smart enough to know how big of an issue this is.
What did you just say?
But wouldn't that do considerable damage to the company?
That's what I want.
It's time you work at the headquarters.
By the way, I heard your daughter
-How dare you? -is about to graduate college.
Don't look at me that way.
You and I are on the same boat anyway.
Take your time to think about it, and call me once you make up your mind.
Do-yun.
There's something I need you to do for me.
Ladies.
Ladies, I made you kale juice
to celebrate my return.
-Thank you. -Thanks.
What is this?
-Did you make this with grass? -Come on.
That stuff is really good for your skin.
It'll make you look ten years younger.
I must say, it's nice to have him back.
-You're happy I'm back, right? -Yes.
Goodness.
-Hey. -Did you hear the news?
The company's apparently going to fire all the kitchen and cleaning staff.
What? What do you mean?
They're going to fire all of us and hire a subcontractor for the job.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
-The chairman would never do that. -I agree.
Look around. He even let us use this lounge.
And he hired all the kitchen and cleaning staff full-time.
He'd never do such a thing.
DAD
Hey, Do-yun. It's me.
Did Dad get discharged today?
I came to the hospital,
but he's not here, and he won't pick up.
Something urgent came up. He went on a business trip abroad.
He went abroad?
Why would he go on a business trip when he's not even feeling well?
It was an urgent matter, so he had to go himself.
Okay. Then tell him to call me
if you get a hold of him.
I will.
Let's go.
I'd like to tell Yu-hyeon myself once I'm ready to do so.
Okay.
Watch the stairs.
Here you go.
Nice.
It's so delicious.
You always made jangjorim with pork instead of beef.
What's gotten into you?
Look at you.
I'm starting to remember how bright and pretty you used to be.
I know, right? What happened to the old Ha-ni?
She's a lot better now.
But when we first met, she was a complete mess.
She was so depressed.
That's too salty on its own. Eat it with rice.
-You didn't eat, right? -Seriously?
Nice. It's been ages since I got to eat your food.
Mom's homemade meal
I love my mom's homemade meal
My parents and friends keep asking if everything's okay with the company.
It's making me feel so nervous.
You're right.
People started boycotting some of our other products too.
This is really bad.
There's actually a stock market site I frequently visit,
and I keep seeing weird posts ever since yesterday.
Like what?
-What's this? -Some think this was all fabricated.
"Fabricated"?
After the issue plummeted our stocks,
a certain group of people apparently have been buying our stocks.
So they think this was all planned.
That's absurd.
So they think someone did this on purpose?
-I'm just stating the rumor. -Gosh.
That can't be true.
-Who in the world… -It can't be.
-No way. -It's absurd.
-Who would do that? -I'm sure it's wrong.
-You think so? -Of course.
It could be true.
Are you okay?
You don't look so well.
I'm okay. I think I'm just stressed due to what's been going on at work.
Here. It's warm yuja tea.
I'm sure it'll help you feel better.
Thanks.
By any chance,
if it seems like
someone you know is doing something wrong,
what would you do?
Does that person
mean a lot to you?
Yes.
Then…
you should tell that person to stop
before they ruin themself.
What brings you here?
Mother.
I have something to tell you.
-What is it? -Well…
If, by any chance, you were involved with
the recent events that have been happening to the company,
I think you should stop.
Are you trying to lecture me right now?
No, Mother. That's not it.
I don't want you
to ruin yourself anymore.
I want to help you before that happens.
Shut up.
You may be Do-yun's wife,
but I've never considered you as my daughter-in-law.
How dare you?
Listen carefully.
That baby of yours is our bloodline,
but not you.
Is something wrong?
No.
-What is it? -It's nothing.
Go take a shower.
I'll prepare dinner.
I said I'd take care of it.
-Stop dragging her into this. -I don't plan on doing that either.
Did you take care of what I asked you to do?
I'm meeting the factory head manager tomorrow,
so that's that.
I bought this for you two. I hope I'm not being a nuisance.
The more, the merrier.
Gochujang.
We're out of gochujang.
I need to go buy some gochujang. Wait for me.
We can dip it in salt. It's much tastier.
I always have beef with gochujang.
You're as picky as your mom.
I can hear you.
I'm out of money.
Use my card. It's in the inner pocket.
Take whichever card you want.
Yes! Can I just buy whatever I want?
Sure. Anything you want.
Even a house or a car.
Oh, yes.
Bye.
Beef gets cooked quickly! Hurry!
God, that little wench. She's out again.
I almost died!
Hey! Have you gone insane?
The meat's getting burned. Come eat.
-What? You're here too. -We need to talk.
Scarlett wanted to have some meat,
but she had no grill. So…
I'm sorry,
but I don't want you to see her anymore.
Even if she contacts you, just ignore her.
Why are you being like this out of the blue?
Did I do something wrong?
-I won't do it again. -That's not why. It's just…
We're in a bit of a situation.
And what's that?
I knew something was off, but I didn't want to fight.
I'm not a prisoner.
Why do you forbid me from going out and meeting people?
Why do I have to stay home?
What are you hiding from me?
Nothing.
You can't fool me.
I can tell when you're lying.
Tell me the truth.
If you don't, I'm going to do whatever I want from now on.
I'll go wherever I want
and never listen to you,
so do as you wish.
Anthony, I'm sorry,
but could you leave?
Something's not right.
They don't seem like a mother and a daughter.
So…
So, are you saying
that I'm going to die?
That means the incident that happened just now
and the accident back then
weren't coincidental.
Probably not.
No, don't you worry about a thing.
No matter what, I'm going to send you back safe and sound.
I'm scared.
This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you about this.
I'm sorry. I had no idea
and threatened to do as I wished.
Don't be. I'm going to make sure
nothing happens to you.
So don't be afraid.
Okay?
Maybe it's because of that rumor,
I just can't seem to focus.
We're already feeling troubled as is.
Where in the world is Yu-hyeon?
I don't know. He took the day off for some reason.
Perhaps, he's looking for another job.
That man, Cha Seung-seok, is in Incheon.
Incheon?
He was promoted by Joa Confectionery and was sent to the Incheon branch.
Oh, I see.
Thank you. It was urgent.
Don't worry about it.
I owe you for what I did to you when we first met.
We're even now, okay?
Okay.
By the way, he seemed to be in quite a predicament.
He became an orphan at a young age.
The only family he has is his sick grandma.
Excuse me. May I ask you a question?
Is anyone in?
Excuse me.
Is anyone in there?
Excuse me.
Ma'am.
QUARANTINE AREA
MY GRANDSON
Grandma, how are you feeling? Are you in pain?
Seung-seok. It's me, Yu-hyeon.
Why do you have her phone?
Your grandma wasn't feeling well,
so I took her to the hospital.
She's sleeping right now,
so don't worry too much.
Grandma!
-Hey. -Yu-hyeon.
Dinner's ready. Let's eat.
All right.
Grandma, it's hot. You better be careful.
So you're Seung-seok's friend?
I've never seen such a young man like you cook so well.
To tell you the truth, I'm pretty much good
at everything.
Do you want to see?
Ta-da.
My eyesight isn't that great.
Just know that I'm good at anything and everything.
Thank you so much.
How could I repay your kindness?
Don't worry about it.
- Grandma. - Yes?
Take your time and chew well.
-Eat up. -Okay.
Yu-hyeon.
I'm truly sorry.
I understand.
You must've had your reasons.
I'm sorry.
Hey. I'm not here to blame you
or hear an apology.
But do tell me this one thing.
My aunt told you to do it, didn't she?
Yes.
Actually, there is one more accomplice
who helped her out.
Hello, Yu-hyeon. What is it?
Ji-eun, can we talk for a minute?
To tell you the truth, I know everything.
I know that Aunt was the one behind the recent plagiarism incident.
I also know that you refused to help her.
And that's probably why Ms. Bahn and I could return.
I'm sorry for not telling you about this sooner.
Don't be. Ji-eun, you're a truly good person.
And I understand the situation you were in.
How involved was Do-yun in this incident?
Not at all. You got it wrong.
Do-yun is in the dark.
If he finds out that I was swayed,
he'll be greatly disappointed in me.
Right. You're probably right.
The Do-yun I know…
would never do such a thing.
So, how much do you want?
I guess that depends
on how important this is to her.
You've been duplicating the ledgers
and embezzling money.
Then you gambled with it.
I believe we could exchange those photos
with the voice recording that you have.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAN JI-SUK
Did he have any copies?
Probably not. Even if he did, he won't be able to do anything
since we have something on him.
All right. Good job.
How's my brother doing?
Does he like the villa?
I'd like you to take
the shares he has for this company.
What do you say?
-Sorry? -I'm sure you can wheedle him
into giving those shares to you.
Must you go that far?
It's because of you that he has gone blind.
It was bound to happen anyway,
so why is that my fault?
Were you always this cruel?
Are you trying to be good all of a sudden?
You and I are already in the same boat.
Should I get you something to eat?
I don't think you even had dinner.
I'm not hungry.
Still…
you should eat something to stay strong.
Can I stay with our parents?
Why all of a sudden?
To be honest, I'm scared of being home alone all day.
I get startled whenever the wind rattles the windows,
and the sound of a cat's meow gives me goosebumps.
I just want to stay with them.
She's going to die?
I don't understand it either.
But if she doesn't return soon,
something bad may happen to her.
How can she go back?
I'm still looking into that.
In any case, I know you two are already busy
taking care of Seong-u and Grandma.
I'm sorry for being a burden.
Don't be sorry.
Our family is in danger.
When times are rough,
we need to protect each other.
I told Seong-u that she'll be staying here temporarily
due to certain reasons,
-so don't worry. -Thank you.
You too.
You, fool.
How could you carry the burden all by yourself every single time?
It must have eaten you up
every time you did that.
It's okay.
I'm fine now.
I'm no longer alone.
It's even tastier since my puppy gave it to me.
Is that so?
-Have some. -Okay.
My son? What are you doing?
I'm just tending to our guest.
Go to your room this instant.
-I'm sorry. -Me too.
Hey.
We'll take care of her, so you should go.
Once you wrap up everything, move back here immediately.
Okay.
-Hey. -Yes?
Listen to mom and Ha-yeong.
And please watch what you say
in front of Seong-u.
I will.
Do you have your wallet?
Make sure you carry it with you wherever you go.
Okay.
In return, you better come visit me often.
Okay?
I will.
Yu-hyeon.
Hi, old lady.
It's so cold out.
How long have you been waiting for me?
You should've called.
It's okay. I wasn't cold at all.
I loved waiting for you
because I knew you'd come eventually.
Old lady.
I mean, Ms. Bahn.
How much do you know
about me?
I know that you're a good person.
You're kindhearted, cheerful, and warmhearted.
No. I mean who I really am.
What do you mean?
Even if…
I don't turn out to be who you thought I was,
don't be too shocked.
Because…
I never meant to deceive you.
-Yu-hyeon. -I should go.
I wanted to tell you this.
DAD
Sir, please follow that car.
YU-HYEON, IS SOMETHING WRONG?
YOU'RE WORRYING ME, SO PLEASE REPLY
God, I can't believe it.
-Did you hear? -About what?
What's going on?
A hit list has been circulating
on the intranet.
-What? -What do you mean?
Someone has posted
a list of people who'll get laid off on the anonymous bulletin board.
"Laid off"?
Yes. Those in culinary, cleaning, and parking will be sacked.
They'll outsource the workers.
I feel terrible for them.
Last year, they were made full-time employees
and even sent rice cakes to all the departments.
Hold on. There's more.
What? Is there something else?
Temporary workers who were hired this year will
have their contracts terminated.
Does that mean Ms. Bahn will…
Dad…
Yu-hyeon, I'm…
Why isn't Dad coming to visit Grandma? Is he that busy?
