(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(All child actors were shot under supervision.)
I didn't know the one wrong choice I made...
would bring about a result like this.
I couldn't bear the weight of my sin and decided to leave this world.
I apologize to Ms. Oh...
and my parents.
Please don't forgive me.
Oh, my. How cozy.
What were you reading? You didn't even notice I was here.
How may I help you?
I don't need any help.
I wanted to grab a cup of tea.
Let's go downstairs.
Thanks a lot, Hye Won.
Are you okay?
What was that sound?
Oh, my! My goodness! What happened?
- Darn it! - Are you all right?
She fell down the stairs.
Are you all right?
What about you?
I was trying to help Hye Won from falling down the stairs.
My mom would lose it if she found out!
- What are you doing? Call 911. - Yes, ma'am!
No, I want to go to my room...
and get some rest.
I think I have cramps.
First, you should see a doctor.
I'll go with you.
I think I need to lie down in my room.
What are you doing? Take her to her room.
Yes, ma'am.
Success.
Yes, I'm fine. You can go.
You can go.
Goodness.
I'm fine, Hye Won.
What are you up to?
What do you mean?
Didn't you see?
I was trying to help you from falling...
You pushed me and fell down the stairs by yourself.
What was your intention for making up that lie?
You're even pregnant. That was dangerous!
You're clinically delusional!
I thought you lost your footing on the stairs,
so I was trying to help but twisted my feet instead!
This happened to me because I was trying to help.
The least you can do is thank me.
Whatever.
I need to get some rest, so leave.
Wait, was it because of this smell?
Are you all right? What's wrong?
Don't mind me.
Do you feel unwell?
Do you need medicine?
I'm fine!
It's nothing of that sort.
Then, what is it?
Wait.
Are you pregnant?
Are you really pregnant?
When? Did you see a doctor?
Don't meddle with this.
If anyone tells the family, it'll be me.
She was odd.
I'd be worried about the baby and see a doctor right away.
And why is she so sensitive about my pregnancy?
Excuse me.
Yes, how many would you like?
I don't want any.
By any chance, have you seen someone...
who's tall, good-sized,
and has huge eyes?
Tall and huge eyes?
Yes, he looks like an actor.
His features are all huge,
so he looks kind of angry.
He's about ten years older than me, but we look about the same age.
I'm not sure. How would I know if you put it like that?
You need to understand no matter how I say it!
How do you run a business with such slow wits?
This is hot!
You should've told me if this was hot!
That was shocking.
What?
Jackpot.
What?
Wait, this is Hyangdan Agency... No.
I mean, where BLO is.
Where did he go?
Who are you looking for?
What? Right.
What are you doing here?
By any chance, have you been following me?
No, why would I follow you?
I was just on my way,
and you happened to be in front of me.
Gosh, it's nice to come to this neighborhood often.
Maybe I should move here.
How did he know?
Gosh.
Goodness.
What about Hye Won?
If anyone asks about Hye Won,
tell them she went to study abroad,
and you don't know anything else other than that.
Do not say a word about Hye Won to that mean woman and man...
who harassed you last time. Okay?
Why not? Are they trying to do something weird to her?
Does she know?
Well, it's not that she knows.
Her in-laws are rich.
And evil people like them make up ridiculous lies...
to extort money from them.
I wanted to tell you just in case.
All right.
She went to study abroad. I don't know anything else.
Is that all I have to say?
Precisely.
If you can't seem to say anything,
just stay silent and call me right away.
I got it.
Okay.
(Stella Tteokbokki, Baek Sung Yoon Law Office)
Thank you.
I'll put my trust in you and leave.
Sure, don't worry too much,
and give me a call whenever you need help.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
I'm with the tteokbokki place here.
I believe we've met once before.
Yes, of course. I remember.
Anyway, how may I help you?
I felt rushed, so I came empty-handed.
I probably should've picked up a cup of coffee.
Goodness, I'm glad you came right away.
I'd have to stay up two nights if I had coffee now.
I'm sensitive to caffeine.
I see.
I'd like to ask you something.
Sure, anything.
If someone agreed to sign a Termination of Parental Rights,
how useful would it be in legal terms?
But it was signed a long time ago.
Well, I need to see what it says...
on the signed document to give you an accurate answer.
Written and signed forms usually aren't legally binding.
I see. Right?
How does one petition for a restraining order?
It must be complicated, right?
Why? Are you in trouble?
No, it's not my story.
My friend was worried...
his ex-wife would take advantage of their kids...
and harm them in any way.
Well, I guess it's possible if their biological mother...
blackmailed them...
or inflicted bodily injuries on them.
Of course, you'd need evidence.
Yes, I see.
Is the situation serious?
Is there anything I can do to help?
No, it's okay.
Thank you.
- Goodbye. - All right.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
It sounded like his story,
not his friend's story.
She was carrying a baby,
yet she kept it a secret?
She couldn't have cared when I said I was pregnant.
If Hye Won had a child, I'd become the odd one out,
and I might even get kicked out.
There won't be a miscarriage.
I need to get pregnant now!
Hey, honey. When will you come home?
What do you mean, why?
Because Do Eun misses you so much.
Yes, I miss you so much.
Come home quickly.
Bye.
(Team Leader Yoon Ji Chang)
(Morning Meeting)
Right, the meeting with Marketing.
I forgot that I had a meeting.
I don't think I can come for lunch. I'm sorry.
I'll come straight to San Deul's place.
(Love Hall)
Are you resting in peace, Mother?
We're doing well.
Ji Chang was busy today,
so I came alone.
Look.
This is our child.
(The late Oh Soo Hyang)
These are worth a fortune.
Luxury goods are all useless.
They all go back to ashes in the fire.
Soo Hyang.
I hope you stay elegant and gorgeous on the other side.
Forget all your sorrows from this life,
and don't meet a guy like my brother in your next life.
You should meet someone like Bo Gum or Eun Woo...
and live a sweet life.
Soo Hyang, you know that...
I'm the only one who's concerned about you, right?
Please remember
Excuse me.
How may I help you? What is it?
We received a report for illegal incineration.
If you don't put it out, you'll be fined.
My goodness. What did you call this sacred ritual...
of burning articles of the deceased?
"Illegal incineration?"
If my sister-in-law failed to let go of her resentment...
and didn't pass away in peace because I did not hold this ritual,
would you two take responsibility?
A fine? How much is the fine?
I'll pay. I'll pay for it.
How much do you want?
What in the world are you doing?
This is preposterous.
Good grief.
Goodness.
I'll put it out.
Mom?
Simon flunked out this year.
It must be Soo Hyang's curse.
If you want to be a mother, be a real mother.
Do things like talking to his teacher...
or writing him a letter.
I don't speak enough French to talk to Simon's homeroom teacher.
I just know a few greetings.
Hello. Good evening. Hi. Hey, there.
And you're proud?
You took my money and threw around...
hundreds of thousands of dollars all over Champs-Élysées.
Mom, that isn't what's important right now.
We should give Soo Hyang a memorial ritual.
We can't spare time to look after the dead.
We're busy with the new family!
Our priority should be appeasing a vengeful spirit.
Things could've gone haywire today.
What do you mean?
She could've lost...
What is it? Tell me.
Tell me!
It wasn't a big deal.
I went to see the doctor right away in case you'd be worried.
What happened?
Well, actually,
Hye Won and her...
I almost fell and was a little surprised,
but everything was fine.
What? You almost fell?
I told you to be careful when you were outside and at home.
Yes, I'll always be careful.
Anyway, try this.
I saw a good dessert place in front of the clinic.
Ta-da.
Oh, my. It's an eclair. It's so lovely.
No, you're even lovelier.
Does she smell like something?
Yes.
I smell alcohol.
Hey!
We have a pregnant woman in this house.
How dare you drink in the middle of the day?
Yoon Yi Ra, go back to Paris now!
I drank last night.
Also, if I hear something like this again,
I will lock you up, understand?
Yes, I will be careful.
I'm sorry.
Was I still hung over?
Sit down.
Mother, what do you want to say to me?
I've held back from talking to you...
because Yi Chul...
and Hye Won were around.
But I wanted to make something clear at this point.
What is it?
Just as I've said many times before,
I only let you move in here...
to show the least amount of courtesy...
for the mother of Yi Chul's child.
In other words,
I did not let you in as a member of YJ or my daughter-in-law.
I'm giving you a chance to stay in this house...
for the sake of the child you're pregnant with.
I see.
You made a mistake last time,
so if you successfully give birth to a child,
I will consider letting you two...
register your marriage.
After I give birth?
Why? Are you in a rush to do something?
Is there a reason to rush things?
No, there isn't.
I understand, Mother.
You do know that you two are as good as strangers...
if you aren't married on paper, right?
So,
do not be frivolous, like you were today.
Make sure you look after yourself...
and have a proper child.
Yes, Mother.
Ma'am, I have a to-go order.
- This is yours. - Yes, thank you.
It's so spicy.
What?
Ma'am, I'm sorry.
May I have this delivered...
to BLO at 109-8, Yangpyeong-dong?
- Was that 109-8? - Yes.
- All right. - Thank you.
Hey, what brings you here?
Hello.
Excuse me, I'll take one serving of spicy chicken feet set.
I'm a regular here.
Is that so?
Right, I was going to call you.
Back then, why did you ask me about Mr. Lim?
Is there a way to reinvestigate?
Yes, that case. I looked up some articles,
and concluding the case as suicide seemed appropriate,
but it also seemed to lack evidence.
But of course,
there also isn't enough evidence to point to homicide.
Is it impossible to reopen the case without enough evidence?
But first, what about that likely suspect?
Are you still reluctant to tell me?
President Yoon Yi Chul wanted a divorce.
And his mistress, Bae Do Eun,
the former director of Boram Childcare Facility.
Can I take my guess between those two?
Well...
It's not my place to say that.
Yes, of course.
But I'll tell you...
when I find the hard evidence.
Will you help me then?
I wouldn't call it helping. I'll cooperate.
The world needs to function properly.
Thank you.
I should thank you too.
Thanks for the braised monkfish.
I'm so sorry about that day.
Was your outfit okay?
Of course.
And for your information, I can throw this out too.
So, feel free to eat as you like.
I think I'll be fine today.
Please enjoy your food.
Okay.
Bye.
Anyway,
why was she at a place like this alone?
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
May I have this to go?
- To go? - Yes.
And...
Goodness. Hello.
What's this?
You can't scratch your own back,
and you can't always eat tteokbokki as a tteokbokki place owner.
Chicken feet.
That doesn't make sense.
It doesn't sound right.
And you brought two bags.
By the way...
Your sister came by, right?
You mean, Hye Won?
How do you know her, old man?
Wait. "Old man?"
I thought you were a good man, but you were quite rude.
And you must have bad eyesight.
I have good eyesight.
It's 21 on the left and 22 on the right.
My eyesight is as good as a Mongolian.
San Deul.
Hey.
It's been a while.
- Hey. - Hey.
Who's he?
A senior at school who was in the Judan Art Camp with me.
He opened up a law office across the hallway.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
I'm Woo Jae's friend.
I heard he was your tutor.
I see. You're Woo Jae's friend?
Right, Woo Jae was there at the art camp too, right?
I didn't know you two were friends.
I didn't know either.
I thought I was the only one who knew him,
but you all knew him before I did.
Nice to meet you.
Anyway, have we met before?
Right? You seem familiar.
I know. The tinted car window.
Sexy. Dirty.
Cutie.
My gosh.
May I help you?
Yes, the corn dog.
- "The corn dog?" - "The tinted car window?"
"The corn dog?"
I've never eaten a corn dog in my life.
Anyway, have a great time.
Goodbye.
Look at this, Do Eun.
I brought lots of cute things.
I got baby clothes and shoes.
Do Eun!
Don't surprise me like this anymore.
I'm doing my best to hold back...
for you and our baby's sake.
Do Eun, don't you think our baby will be surprised?
I thought it was dangerous in the early stages.
No, it's more dangerous to hold back.
I can't just sit and watch you.
I can't let that happen.
I can't let my Do Eun fall into danger.
All right.
Do your thing, Yi Chul.
I can't lose against Hye Won.
Let's do this!
San Deul asked you to come to give you that friendship bracelet.
He broke our friendship first.
- Why? Did you two fight? - No.
Anyway, that guy, Sung Yoon.
He used to work with Woo Jae at the same law firm.
I see. That must be why they're close.
He seemed quite talented.
Why did he open such a shabby office?
He must have convictions.
"Convictions?"
I find people like that hypocritical.
Those human rights lawyers who claim to stand with the weak.
Those who are well-off do that.
I wouldn't call it hypocritical.
He could work more freely there than at the law firm.
Fine. Once again, I was immature.
That wasn't what I meant.
I'm feeling tired today.
Would you be happy...
if I told you you'd be a father?
Darn it, Yi Chul!
I fed you so many eels!
If you successfully give birth to a child,
I will consider letting you two...
register your marriage.
How dare she treat me like a surrogate mom to my face?
Fine, I'll give birth to a child.
Once I register our marriage and become a part of the family,
the first thing I will do is...
trample all over Hye Won and you, old witch.
(OB-GYN Clinic)
(Bae Doo Na OB-GYN Clinic)
Is there a problem?
You said you didn't get pregnant,
even though you didn't use contraceptives, right?
No, it has been over two years.
As of now, it will be difficult for you to be pregnant.
You're diagnosed with acyesis.
What did you say?
(The Two Sisters)
Why does it work out for Hye Won but not me?
I thought the two of us believed each other...
even when no one else believed us.
That Hye Won is this Hye Won, and this Hye Won is that Hye Won?
- Surprise! - Right.
You two live under the same roof, and she's now pregnant too.
You need to address her properly.
We're family.
Aren't we, my daughter-in-law?
