(Episode 2)
Ji Chang, these are...
What do you think?
Do these look similar to the necklace you lost?
Yes.
No, they look the same.
I racked my brain...
and wondered what I should get you instead of an engagement ring.
Come closer.
It must've been tough to hide your feelings...
because of your stepmother and San Deul.
Let's look for your younger sister, Hye Ji.
No.
I'll find her for you.
Hye Ji.
Lee Hye Ji.
Pull yourself together, Hye Ji.
Why did you get so drunk?
How annoying.
May I buy you a drink?
I'm still on my shift.
"Shift?" But you're at a bar.
I'm on stakeout.
You must be a detective.
Who's the suspect you're after?
There was someone who committed theft.
"Theft?"
This suspect was the one who stole my heart...
Come on. Dad jokes are so tacky.
This role-play is such a bore.
I'm disappointed.
Come on. I was going to cuff you too.
I'll give you one more chance.
I need to go to the ladies' room,
so prepare something totally hilarious.
- I'll look forward to it. - Okay. I'll give it another try.
Mamma mia.
You must've carried a heavy burden in your heart.
I can't even call it a burden.
She was always on my mind, but I never did anything about it.
It must've been more uncomfortable for you to see me like that.
Yes, so...
let's find Hye Ji.
I already feel relieved just by hearing your words.
Anyway, did you rent out this place?
I told you not to do anything big for me.
You told me not to give you a huge proposal,
but you didn't say anything...
about making a big deal out of your lost sister's search.
Great job.
I'm utterly touched.
I know you best, Hye Won.
First, why don't we hand out those pictures...
for influencers to post on social media accounts?
Once many people see those photos,
we may find someone who knows her.
(Hye Won's best friend in the old days, your younger sister, Lee Hye Ji)
What's wrong? You don't want to do that?
I want to live with you, Dad.
You can go with Mom, Hye Ji.
No, I want to live with Dad.
Dad, can I live with you?
Please take me.
You can keep Kiki.
I want to live with Mom.
I don't want to go with Dad.
If only I hadn't said that to Hye Ji...
at the amusement park...
That again?
I don't know.
It felt like everything went wrong ever since that day.
That's an overstatement.
You meant well.
It wasn't your fault.
I wonder...
if Hye Ji misses me too.
Of course, I'm also dying to meet you, Ms. Lee Hye Won.
(General Manager Lee Hye Won of Judan Foundation for Arts)
(Lee Hye Won)
I need more information...
other than her name and position to handle her easily.
(Oh Soo Hyang)
(Family: Spouse, President Yoon Yi Chul, YJ Group)
Gosh. Spouse, my foot.
You're hanging by a hair because you have no power left.
Yes, hello.
May I speak to General Manager Lee Hye Won?
(General Manager Lee Hye Won)
She already left. May I ask who's calling?
I see. Is that so?
I wanted to buy a painting.
I see. Do you plan to make your purchase at Seorim Auction?
Yes, you're right.
(YJ Group)
- My gosh. - My goodness!
- Gosh! - This is really cute.
This is the real deal.
- This is really nice. - Really?
I know this is cliche,
but all I have to say is that you two make a cute couple.
Goodness, if you say something so factual to my face, I must go,
thank you.
Come on.
Mr. Yoon, you're almost gleaming.
Wait, I think your face is on fire.
What?
Because you're too hot!
Goodness, stop it.
What?
- Your wife. - Right.
Hey, Hye Won.
Ji Chang, you remember that we have to be somewhere today, right?
Of course, I do.
I'll pick you up at Judan Foundation.
Even if you miss me, hang in there until then.
- Gosh, I want to get married too. - I'm so jealous.
I'll find a better man than you
I'll find a cooler man than you
And live with him
Fine, just go
Have a good life
Bye-bye, this is my goodbye
(Lee Hye Won)
- Goodness. - Oh, my.
You bought so much.
Gosh, my body aches all over,
including my wrists and all.
Yes, that was why I told you to stay away from heavy things.
That's impossible as a homemaker.
Wait, what?
What's wrong?
Wait, where's the green onion?
I remember picking it up. Where is it?
- Green onion? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hey, come on in.
Goodness, welcome.
What?
Why do you have that in your hands?
What?
Someone clumsy must've dropped this on the street.
I picked it up right away.
You must've dropped it there.
It was you, Aunt Min Sook?
Gosh, yes.
I was the clumsy one who dropped it there.
You shouldn't do that.
That was why I got this for your better health!
My gosh! You didn't have to.
This is supposed to be really good for your health.
Oh, my. How did you know my sister could use some help with her health?
Try some right now. I'll get some water.
- All right. Oh, my. - Okay. Let's take a seat.
My goodness. Thank you.
Gosh.
My wrists already feel better.
You were so thoughtful of me too.
How can I thank you?
You always looked after my dear Hye Won.
Yes, good job.
Right, San Deul can't come today...
because something urgent has come up at the factory.
What? Is he that busy?
I asked him to come if he could because this was the tenth memorial,
but he said the factory couldn't function without him.
My goodness.
He's quite passionate.
Thankfully, it seems like...
he gets along with everyone and has fun at this factory.
Goodness, I was so out of it.
I need to hurry if we want to leave after dinner.
- Let me give you a hand, Auntie. - Okay.
- Let me. - All right.
Should I clean the utensils for the memorial rite?
You must live in comfort...
even on the other side.
Hye Won looks after son...
much more dearly than her own sister.
If you understand what she has done,
please help Hye Won live a good life once she gets married.
It'd still amount to nothing compared to what Hye Won did.
San Deul didn't come, so Hye Won, you should pour her a drink.
(Lee Hye Won)
Lee Hye Won.
You may not be related to San Deul by blood,
but do not forget that he's still your brother.
Do you understand?
(Lee Hye Won)
Are you okay, Hye Won?
I'm sorry.
All right.
We'll get going.
All right. Thank you for your help. And drive safely.
- I'll see him off. - Okay.
Where's Aunt Min Sook?
You should take these.
I packed some sliced pork, japchae,
and some fritters.
Right, and rice punch.
- I'm a master of rice punch. - My gosh.
Goodness, I packed only a little.
It's for your family to have a little taste.
Aunt Min Sook, it's...
Well, if you feel uncomfortable, you can just go.
No, I would've been disappointed if I had to leave empty-handed.
Thank you.
Right?
I only packed a little.
It's not too little, Aunt Min Sook.
My goodness.
A groom-to-be should be stronger than this.
- You should go. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Anyway, drive safely.
- Yes. - Bye.
If the food concerns you, it's not too late to leave it with me.
What do you mean? It was very thoughtful of her.
I didn't want your grandmother or aunt to get mad at you.
If you worry, it'll only add wrinkles.
Should I sleep over tonight?
We have no extra rooms.
Yes, better days are to come.
It's just around the corner!
Go now.
- Go inside. - Go now.
Okay. Go inside.
- Just go. - Fine.
Bye.
Gosh. Bye.
My gosh, she did pack a lot.
Gosh, where's the rice punch?
Why did you do that, Min Sook?
The elders of his family already disapprove of Hye Won.
Why did you pack him food and give her a bad impression?
What did I do?
What's so bad about our food?
Do they dip all their food in gold or what?
You should pack some for San Deul. Let me have it delivered.
Stop looking after your stepson.
Instead, find out if her sister, Hye Ji, is still alive.
Even those two are out looking for Hye Ji.
Don't you want to know if your daughter is alive or dead...
as her father?
So what if I want to know?
I was never a father to her.
I stayed quiet for 20 years.
How can I be so shameless now?
Goodness. Why do you think blood relations are significant?
Don't you feel anything when you see adoptees...
who come to Korea to find their biological parents?
Family can warm your heart...
and make your eyes water just by looking at each other.
She'll only resent me. She wouldn't miss me.
She even cut ties with her mother and left for America a while ago.
No one can stand to live with that ridiculous Pi Young Ju.
Even I would cut ties with her.
When you two split up,
you should've just snatched Hye Ji out of her hands.
Did you think she took Hye Ji because she loved her?
It was to extort money from you by claiming child support.
It's Sun Kyung's memorial day, so let's stop here.
I have a word for her too!
How can he leave that simpleton of a son behind?
Min Sook, he's just a bit slow...
and uncoordinated.
It's the same thing!
Anyway, if you were going to put Hye Won through so much trouble,
you should've demanded to bring Hye Ji home too.
It's not like Hye Won is San Deul's servant or secretary.
That young girl cared for him throughout their school days...
and put up with all his nonsense.
You should go to sleep.
She came with such a ridiculous burden.
My gosh. I feel stifled to death...
whenever I think of this.
(Seized article)
It's still a little big on you.
But it'll fit you until next year.
Make sure you're polite...
to your stepmom-to-be, okay?
Okay.
She's the only one...
who can save you and your dad right now.
Let me see you.
You look adorable.
You must be Hye Won.
Hye Won, she'll be your stepmom.
Hello.
Yes, you're such a pretty girl.
Please meet your younger brother, San Deul.
Say hello to her, San Deul.
You must be hungry, San Deul.
Put that down.
You should say hi to your sister.
Hi.
My name is...
Lee Hye Won.
You must be San Deul.
I want black bean noodles!
Where is it?
I'm hungry!
The food is here, San Deul.
- Excuse me. - Sure.
Hye Won, I hear you're a good student.
What's your favorite subject?
Science and art.
Is that so?
San Deul is...
San Deul.
San Deul!
San Deul, there's a fish tank outside.
Do you want to go look at the fish?
Yes, you should go with Hye Won and look at the goldfish.
Let's go. Come on.
I have no idea why he's acting like that today.
Children are like that.
But Hye Won is quite mature for her age,
so she'll look after him.
She loved her younger sister, Hye Ji, very dearly.
She looked after him so well.
I hope...
Hye Ji is also doing well.
(Song Yoon Soo Law Office)
You said you had something important to tell me.
Well...
(Song Yoon Soo Law Office)
It's about the accumulation of wealth...
of the director of Boram Childcare Facility,
who's currently living with President Yoon Yi Chul.
Yes, did you find something, Attorney Song?
This was something I heard through a personal connection.
This person was an insider, so they felt pressure...
and spared the details.
Of course.
Anyway, it was just as expected.
Some of YJ Group's funds went to that woman.
(Finance and Accounting Team YJ Group)
A company named Insight Seoul...
has been donating millions of dollars to a charitable group...
named Boram Childcare Facility since two years ago.
Insight Seoul...
And?
However, that company is registered in a residential apartment...
in Hong Kong.
"In a residential apartment?"
Is this a shell company?
Yes, it looked like the money was sent by using that company.
This means the charitable group named Boram Childcare Facility...
is nothing but a means to receive that money.
That would be the logical conclusion under common sense.
It couldn't be used as evidence for this lawsuit,
but you could give them pressure by calling this...
a misappropriation of funds, embezzlement, and tax evasion.
I see. Let's give it time until things are more certain.
Right, and I want to keep this between you and me.
Attorney Song.
If Ji Chang and especially Mother found out,
they would be too concerned.
Yes, I understand.
Thank you, Attorney Song.
(Judan Foundation for Arts)
Many works...
of new Asian artists poured out in this auction,
so people were already excited since the preview.
Really?
We could make up for the sales we couldn't make last year...
through the Seorim Auction.
Were we commissioned to sell anything...
besides Chairman Hyun's painting in this auction?
No, "Summer" by Lee Cho Hye is the only one,
the painting Chairman Hyun holds to.
You got to help sell a painting that you sold to him.
We must have some kind of connection.
I look forward to meeting other collectors of Ms. Lee Cho Hye.
Right, when we renew the contract with Artist Im Dan Hong,
make the rate 70 to 30 for all paintings sold here.
What?
But the standard rate in the industry is 50-50.
It's an investment. The artist has that much potential.
That's a wonderful decision, Mother.
No, Director Oh.
Have you been meeting Attorney Song?
Yes.
I'll play the villain by myself.
It won't help Ji Chang in any way...
if you turn your back on your father-in-law.
- Mother... - Yes, you should get back to work.
I shouldn't waste your busy day anymore.
All right.
How's the temperature, ma'am?
It's perfect.
This aromatherapy massage will help you relax.
This feels nice. You aren't so bad.
Yes, I learned everything at the scalp clinic.
Let's go together next time.
It'll make your hair silky smooth too.
If it gets any smoother, it'll be almost troublesome.
Yes, I agree.
So, why won't you let me meet her?
What? Who?
You were going to show me a few photos and end it there?
Right, Ji Chang's wife?
Do I embarrass you?
Why would I be embarrassed? That's nonsense.
Then?
I was afraid she might hurt you, Do Eun.
I heard she was quite feisty. Is she vicious?
Does she hate me?
Let's stay away from her if we can help it.
Nothing good will come from that rendezvous.
I'll make sure she stays away from you.
But I should get to know her.
We'll be family soon.
How did they meet? Ji Chang was head over heels in love.
Ji Chang and I are the same age,
and I hear she's two years older.
They went to middle and high school together.
Gosh, how romantic. I almost got jealous.
Romance belongs in dramas and movies.
She couldn't have dreamed of marrying him...
if Soo Hyang hadn't pushed ahead.
What did Ji Chang's mother say?
What does she like about her?
I have no idea how she won her over,
but they were almost like a mother and her daughter.
I told her that we should've had a girl...
Right, I take that back. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
In that case, she would hate me even more.
I'm here to push out someone who's on her side.
Human relationships are like a business.
The same goes for family.
No one will take you as a joke...
if there are things to gain or lose.
Do you get what I mean?
You're like a king from historical movies.
- A king? - A tyrant who always has his way.
You know what?
All tyrants were hopeless romantics.
Goodness, my killer love.
My sin is that I am in love!
Let go of me.
How can I let go of you? And I know you like it.
- Right? - Let go of me.
(Seorim Auction VIP Membership Art Auction)
Are you leaving for work?
Yes.
- Dad. - Yes?
Do you remember this?
Yes, of course.
Ta-da!
- Yes! - Yes!
This is for Hye Won. Here.
- Thank you. - This is for Hye Ji.
Thank you.
- Open it. - It's so pretty.
How pretty.
- My gosh! - My name is on this.
I thought you lost it when we moved.
I did.
But Ji Chang made the same necklace, even one for Hye Ji.
I see. That was nice of him.
Ji Chang offered to find Hye Ji for us.
I see.
You should get to work. You might be late.
Okay. I'll be back.
Okay.
Hye Won, where are you going? You're all dressed up.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
- Are you not going out today? - I am.
I'll meet a client in the afternoon to take a look at a property.
Gosh, I heard the real estate market was on the decline.
I guess many properties got auctioned off recently.
This is the high time for those who have money.
Of course.
Anyway, Hye Won didn't look so well.
Did something happen?
No, nothing.
Right, what will you do about the car you used in Jeju?
Public transportation in Seoul is excellent,
so I'm thinking of selling it.
That's great. It looked like San Deul could use a car.
I was just saying.
I'll keep it a little longer.
He's always talking about San Deul.
How should I address Lee Hye Won...
when we meet?
Ms. Lee Hye Won.
No.
General Manager Lee.
Ji Chang's wife.
I know!
My daughter-in-law.
Hello, this is General Manager Lee Hye Won calling.
I'm out of the office right now.
One of our staff members will visit Chairman Kevin.
I apologize for not calling...
Well, I'm so sorry.
Let me call you back right away. Bye.
(The Two Sisters)
Did you say you were Ms. Do Eun?
Bae Do Eun.
Some may think you two are sisters, not a mother and daughter-in-law.
Goodness, really?
Everything was devised by that witch, Bae Do Eun.
Yi Chul is the only one who doesn't know.
(Seorim Auction 14th Annual Art Auction)
But I never liked Lee Hye Won.
She was a thief.
No!
That necklace.
Sorry?
