(All child actors were shot under supervision.)
I've had enough.
Let's go, Mother.
If you held him down for the last 30 years,
it was about time to let him go.
It's as if you're using your son as collateral.
Mother.
Let's go.
This is something I can do too.
No, I can do worse.
If you show me your rock bottom,
I'll dig up deeper and go down even lower.
Are you all right, Mother?
Yes.
I must have an upset stomach.
I'm fine.
Maybe you should see a doctor.
I'll go with you.
No, I just haven't slept well recently.
I must be overly sensitive.
Don't worry about me.
I'll make some tea.
No, I need to take a nap.
You should get some rest.
- Mother. - Yes?
If that woman shows up again or reaches out,
just avoid her.
She's a dangerous woman.
I don't want...
Ji Chang to know about today.
He's still too feisty.
Nothing would change or become better...
even if he found out.
All right.
- I'll keep it quiet. - Good.
Right, I was supposed to meet Mr. Lim Dan Ung for lunch tomorrow.
Yes, should I cancel and reschedule it?
No, you should treat him to a nice meal.
I'll do that.
Okay.
All right. You may go.
Mother.
Be careful.
Yes.
Hello, Mr. Lim.
I'll meet you at the Director's office tomorrow.
(Valuation: Minus 590,261 dollars Cryptocurrency Portfolio)
Darn it!
Lee Hye Won!
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
Some may see this and think you two are a mom and her daughter.
Get a grip, Hye won.
Your mother is...
a low-life named Pi Young Ju.
Your mother is ignorant and shameless like vermin,
and we both share her blood.
Don't be pretentious, acting like you're high and mighty!
(Speaker: Director Oh Soo Hyang Host: General Manager Lee Hye Won)
It's me, Kyung Ja.
Did you find anything?
I can't find anything at all.
Her friends from childhood or school...
all lost contact with her,
every single one.
Did she cut off contact after she moved to America?
Did she choose to cut off all contact...
because she thought we could go around asking?
Honey, what's your name?
Have you lost your mind, woman?
Did you go crazy after pigging out on food from the early morning?
You forgot your handsome husband's name?
Mr. Bae Jang Gun!
My goodness.
Your name is Bae Jang Gun,
the father of Bae Do Eun.
You're her legal father.
Yes, it's true.
Tomorrow, we'll go to the community service center.
Why?
Yes.
I see.
Goodness.
- You're so smart. - That's good.
We need to make a toast first!
Judan Foundation for Arts must have...
lots of assets to pocket even apart from YJ's slush fund.
But people like us can't get our hands on that intel.
I get it, so just tell me what you know.
She didn't make any enemies,
so I couldn't find a lot.
However...
What is it?
There is one artist signed with the gallery...
whom Oh Soo Hyang adores deeply.
The artist is a young man.
"A young man?"
Are you saying Oh Soo Hyang has her eyes on him?
Come on, no.
She's not like us, who first get men into bed.
"Us?"
Fine, me.
I'm the only promiscuous one.
Anyway, she never laid a hand on him.
But this guy began to invest...
in cryptocurrency, the stock market, or whatever.
When it fell through, it cost his mother's house,
but he still couldn't pay everything off.
Let's see.
He has pretty nice looks,
although he isn't my type.
So, if we help him out a little...
and come up with a story,
we can stage something worthy of the news?
Precisely.
Now we're talking.
How cheeky.
What if she shows up in front of Mother again?
Hye Won.
Excuse me, miss?
Hey, what is it?
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
Did you get another text from Hye Ji's number?
No.
It must've been a prank.
The number didn't exist.
It was a burner phone, so I was suspicious from the get-go.
Are you disappointed?
Hardly.
I was already too concerned about Mother and Father.
I'm sure you'll meet her in a good time.
Let's not rush things.
Yes, I know we'll meet.
So, how's Father doing recently?
Do you meet him often at work?
I'm on his payroll, so I can't avoid him.
Yes, I do see him.
Ji Chang, about how you considered witnessing at the trial...
Right. I won't do it. Don't worry.
As you said, I thought it'd make my mom uncomfortable.
No, you should do it.
- What? - Do as you wish...
and follow your heart so you won't leave any regrets.
Just do everything as you wish.
Also, please spend more time with Mother.
What's wrong?
Did my mom come down with a deadly disease?
She couldn't show others that she was troubled.
We're the only ones who can be there for her.
"We."
I didn't know that word could feel so dependable...
and heartwarming before.
Thank you for becoming an item with me.
Me too.
You all are deadly afraid to see me with a child,
so I'll have one.
This looks like a king's feast.
We were told to eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a pauper.
I'll focus more on breakfast.
We have Ms. An does chores for us,
so you can just ask her to cook too. Why do you go through such trouble?
No, I want to cook for you.
And trouble for a loved one is done in joy.
- My gosh. - Try some braised butterfish.
It's so soft. It melted in my mouth!
See? I knew it would be worth my trouble.
My gosh.
Your words are even softer than this fish.
Please have some, Your Majesty.
You should begin first, my queen.
You should eat well...
to have our princess.
Anyway, do you think your mother will accept me...
as her daughter-in-law when the trial is over?
She said that would never happen.
Back then, she was just heartbroken...
because we had lost Bo Ram.
She's someone who wants many grandchildren.
Then, do you think she'll treat our child...
just as she treats Ji Chang without having a favorite?
How many times have I told you?
My mother was the most grieved...
that Ji Chang's mother...
never had another child after him.
You said she almost lost her life due to toxemia.
Which meant my mother wanted her to lay her life on the line.
I've mentioned it before, right?
I had a younger brother,
but he passed away soon after he was born.
Mother must have been heartbroken.
So, she wouldn't mind even if we had one out of wedlock...
I'm sorry.
I mean that she'll always welcome...
any child for the Yoon family.
Regardless of that,
I want to have a healthy and beautiful child...
who looks just like you.
Of course, we'll have one.
I'm sure Bo Ram, who went to the other side first,
will show their support.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
Everything looks really delicious.
Where do I begin?
Everything looked fine after the endoscopy.
Why do you still feel unwell?
I told you already. I'm just overly sensitive. I'm fine.
(Judan Foundation for Arts)
Right, did the audience say anything?
They must've been flustered after the talk concert ended like that.
The review said the question and answer session...
could have gone better, but they all loved your lecture.
They're already asking when our next event will be...
on our website.
But still, I didn't think we could hold another talk concert.
I should be more careful before I appear in public events.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Lim.
It has been a while, Mr. Lim.
Have you been well?
How's work going for you? Sailing smoothly?
I just do my job.
Please feel free to pick it up.
Yes, excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Lim Dan Ung.
I'd like to discuss something with you.
Could you spare some time?
You'd regret it very much if you turned me down.
Who's calling? And what does this concern?
It's about Director Oh Soo Hyang.
If you are interested, check your Hansam Bank account...
one minute after you hang up.
I'll transfer 100,000 dollars as the front money.
Sorry? What do you mean?
However, only under the premise that this stays confidential.
I want you to promise that you'll keep this a secret...
from Director Oh Soo Hyang and General Manager Lee Hye Won.
If you accept my offer and the 100,000 dollars,
I'll give you 200,000 more as your front money.
All right. I'll check my account.
Please call me back.
Are you busy with something?
No.
Well, something urgent just came up.
I'm sorry to ask, but can we eat lunch next time?
Sure. It was a casual occasion just to catch up.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right.
Director Oh didn't feel so well,
so she was disappointed she couldn't come with us.
The three of us can meet up next time.
Yes, please excuse me.
(Judan Foundation for Arts)
I hope it's not a big problem.

(About the Artist, Lim Dan Ung)
Great job taking the bait, Lim Dan Ung.
It'll be quite tasty.
(About the Artist, Lim Dan Ung)
(Directed and Created by, General Manager Lee Hye Won)
Hye Won.
Bad news.
We'll become family once again.
This time, I won't be your younger sister...
but your mother-in-law.
What? I'm Bae Do Eun's biological mother.
Why can't I take her family relation certificate?
I gave birth to her and raised her too!
You have to stick to the law!
Please show some respect.
I already explained this to you.
Ms. Bae Do Eun registered you two as domestic violence offenders,
so I couldn't give you the certificate.
Man, I can't believe this ungraded brat.
- No? - The word is ungrateful.
Right. This ungrateful brat!
And when people raise a kid, we can always...
knuckle them lightly on the head like this.
She's right. We call this...
the discipline of love.
How is this love?
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
This country is utterly broken!
You can just get in there and press a button, and that's it.
(General Affairs)
Bae Do Eun, that ungrateful brat.
What now? Domestic violence offenders?
Does she really think I won't find her?
Just you wait.
I guess that girl is somewhere with a handsome pile of money.
Right?
If she didn't have a penny, she wouldn't go through...
so much trouble to make it look like she lived in America.
I can't believe this woman. Does she call this an egg?
Hey, you.
Focus.
That brat, Hye Won, must've married into a good family.
The ungraded brat's older sister?
Right, yes. The ungrateful...
Bae Do Eun's older sister.
Yes.
Her stepmother was rich and educated,
so she must've picked a rich family and married Hye Won off.
But there was no way for me to find out...
if she was alive or dead.
She's not dead.
If she was,
you would've received a call to take her death benefit.
Darn it. Watch what you say.
It sounds like you want her dead.
Shut that mouth of yours and start thinking.
There are two of them, so our chance to win doubles.
Which side would you bet on?
If I had money to bet on them,
I'd bet it on another game at a casino in Jeongseon.
Good grief!
Pi Young Ju, you'll never give up gambling.
I bet on your eldest daughter.
First, give me your old address.
Also, you must know the school she used to attend.
Of course, I don't.
Darn it. What's with you?
You're their mother. You should know!
Goodness.
I didn't even know which school Hye Ji went to.
How am I going to find Hye Won after 20 years?
Good grief. You.
Hey. That little...
Anyway, I have a hunch...
about Lee Hye Won.
I feel like she's the one to go after.
How are we going to find her?
"Termination of Parental Rights."
"Party B will renounce all parental rights..."
"and authorities over Party C,"
"and hand over all said rights..."
"to Party A."
"December 28, 2003. Party A, Lee Min Tae."
"Party B, Pi Young Ju."
This is no good.
If she found out Hye Won married into that family,
she'd harass her hundreds of times and make a huge scene.
Welcome.
I may choose to jump on this boat, but I must know where we're going.
Are you working for President Yoon Yi Chul?
Do not ask questions.
All you get to do is answer me in yes or no.
If you say yes, you get money.
If you say no, you keep your loyalty.
You must've run a background check on me already.
But I came with bad news.
I'm the loyal type,
so I do not intend to stab Director Oh in the back.
Hey, are you trying to make a deal?
Do you need more money?
Who knows? I'm not sure what your offer is,
but I doubt it'll change anything.
Is it because you're an artist? You must've lost touch with reality.
It'll sting a little if you look back.
We won't lose anything even if you turn us down.
But it's probably different for you.
What are you talking about?
Ta-da.
How did you get this?
I wonder if Director Oh Soo Hyang knows...
the paintings of her beloved artist were...
literally painted while he was high.
Losing your home after a failed cryptocurrency investment was...
just the beginning.
Your real problem is drug abuse!
I've been sober for a while.
I like your honesty.
However, the statute of limitation for drug abuse is seven years.
You still have a while to go.
So?
Are you asking me to make Director Oh look like that?
Thankfully, your history goes perfectly with our story.
Director Oh praised the artworks you painted...
while you were high as if they were the masterpieces of the century.
It's a perfect story.
You should show more self-love.
You don't have to think of others.
What's important is...
for us to be happy and unscathed.
Right?
Pong.
Forming identical tiles with the tiles the opponent discarded.
This is pong.
Your opponent could surpass you greatly...
with the tiles you discarded.
That means I need to think of the tiles I discard.
I never knew mahjong was such a tactical game.
Between your mother-in-law and father-in-law, which one...
do you think you should discard?
I find my son more precious than my grandson.
And Yi Chul's divorce...
won't have an impact on the business.
Our stock price dropped last year,
but we hit another high after reporting our sales this year.
Yes.
No matter what you choose,
the tile you thoughtlessly discard...
can always be used against you.
If you have a brain, you need to consider that.
I've already...
run out of patience to deal with you.
You barely learned the rules of this household over months,
so I'm starting to wonder if you're smart enough.
- We haven't been here for a while. - Right?
- The weather is wonderful. - Yes, it's warm.
- Should we sit here? - Sure.
Doesn't it smell nice?
It smells even nicer outside. It's delicious.
Gosh, Mom. I haven't seen you smile like that for a while.
I haven't been out for a while. This is nice.
Why haven't I spent...
time like this with you, using my busy days as an excuse?
What do you mean, an excuse?
And I was busier than you.
Exactly. But from now on, please spare some time for your son.
Goodness, you should spend your free time with Hye Won.
No way. I won't give up on both.
Anyway, did you hear anything about Hye Won's sister after that?
No, I don't think it'll be easy.
I see. You should do your best to help her.
Of course.
Mom.
Please don't take this the wrong way.
If you're holding out like this...
because of Hye Won and me,
and if you choose to hold out...
despite the humiliation and pain,
I don't want that.
If you can live freely...
and away from pain,
that will be the best and greatest decision for me.
So please, make sure you only think of yourself.
My son, you've all grown up.
Gosh, I'm hungry.
It would've been nice to grill some meat at a place like this,
but I forgot to bring the meat I seasoned last night.
Really?
- I'll treat you to a nice meal. - Really?
All right!
Let's eat something delicious.
What do you want?
Here.
You love spicy freshwater shrimp soup.
I do. Let's eat.
Gosh, this is so good.
I'm craving some soju.
Mom, soju?
What?
It sounds great.
A bottle of soju, please.
- I'll bring one. - KBC exclusive report.
Director Oh Soo Hyang of Judan Foundation for Arts...
got caught up in a sexual assault suspicion...
amid her divorce suit with President Yoon Yi Chul of YJ.
Experts suggested this was her way of getting revenge...
against her unfaithful husband.
Hey there, wifey.
Spicy freshwater shrimp soup and soju?
That sounds so good.
I'm eating ramyeon.
The elders of the family are out, so I'm home alone.
Director Oh Soo Hyang and President Yoon Yi Chul's only son,
Yoon Ji Chang,
is currently the team leader of YJ Group's Planning Team.
- Recently, he married... - Okay.
- Enjoy your meal. - the general manager of Judan...
Make sure you throw in an egg and green onion.
Director Oh Soo Hyang said she would end my career...
as an artist here in Korea...
(An Exclusive Interview with Artist Lim Dan Ung)
if I rejected her sexual advances.
Ji Chang, what's going on?
(The Two Sisters)
It could be that woman.
Bae Do Eun.
Your daughter-in-law was accused of sexual assault.
How do you feel?
I will also hold you responsible...
if you fail to prove her innocence.
First, I need to meet Mr. Lim.
He already disappeared.
- How's your mom? - Do you even care?
Let me meet that woman. Bae Do Eun.
This time, it's Yoon Ji Chang.
