(It's My Life)
I have something to tell you.
Listen to me carefully, Nam Jin.
Yes, sir.
Nam Jin, you are...
my grandson who went missing at a hospital...
30 years ago.
Pardon?
What are you talking about, sir?
I spent the past 30 years looking for you.
Everyone said that you probably died,
but I didn't believe them.
I'm sick and feeble now.
I know that I don't have much time left to live,
but I couldn't die without finding you.
Sir, you must be tired.
You should go in and get some rest now.
What?
Do you think my Alzheimer's is acting up again?
I'm totally fine now.
(Ahn Seok Ho and Yang Nam Jin 99.9-percent blood-related.)
Lawyer Heo didn't give up and finally managed to find you.
That's why I could meet you again like this before I die.
You must be mistaken.
My mom, who gave birth to me, is well and alive.
How could I be your grandson?
I've already confirmed it with your mother.
Sorry? What do you mean?
She lost her baby when she was young.
She was devastated,
and the baby's father brought you,
saying that you're an orphan.
No way.
That can't be.
My mom isn't my birth mother?
What kind of nonsense is that?
I have to ask her myself.
Hi, Mom. It's me, Nam Jin.
Yes, Chairman Ahn just told me something absurd.
It's not true, right?
Yes, it can't be true.
It's foolish that I'm even asking you this question, right?
I'm sorry, Nam Jin.
I'm really sorry.
You're sorry? What are you apologizing for?
You are my mom.
Your biological parents must've been devastated after losing you.
I separated you from your parents...
because of my greed. I don't know how I should atone for my sin.
Mom, why are you being like this?
Why are you doing this to me too?
I thought you were abandoned by your parents.
I thought no one would find out the truth...
if I raised you with love and sincerity.
I really didn't know things would turn out like this, Nam Jin.
How...
How could this happen?
What... What does that mean? Tell me.
What are you talking about, Sun Ja?
Nam Jin.
Not now.
Please give me some time to think.
All right.
I need an explanation of what happened, Chairman Ahn.
- It's a boy. - Thank you.
Since I didn't have many children,
your birth was a very happy event in our family.
However,
the next day of your birth,
something terrible happened.
The newborn baby disappeared into thin air.
Your baby is missing.
What are you talking about?
We hired some people to search everywhere to find you,
- but we couldn't even find a trace. - What are you talking about?
We sent our story to a News show and searched orphanages.
- How could my baby disappear? - We received tip-offs too,
but they were all false information.
No! My baby. My baby. My baby.
My daughter-in-law, who didn't get along well with Young Gyu,
was completely devastated.
Why didn't the two of them get along well with each other?
Young Gyu was in love with someone else.
I guess she was Director Choi Si Woo's mother.
If only she hadn't called Young Gyu out...
when he was drunk,
he wouldn't have died in vain like that.
My daughter-in-law, who followed Young Gyu that night...
to stop him, also ended up...
I thought maybe I was the one who made Young Gyu miserable.
I constantly blamed myself for what happened.
You shouldn't think that way.
Your dad wanted to become a film director,
but I forced him to work at my company.
You can imagine how frustrated he must've been.
I'm sure you thought...
that it was best for him back then.
Thank you for growing up well.
I'm only grateful to your mother...
for raising you to be such a good person.
You should go inside now.
You might catch a cold.
Chairman Ahn, you said you'll visit your wife's grave tomorrow morning.
Don't call me that in front of your grandma.
She hasn't seen her grandson for the past 30 years.
If you call me "Chairman Ahn",
wouldn't she be shocked?
Pardon?
I understand.
I can hear you calling me "Grandpa"...
before I die, right?
My goodness.
Sun Ja, don't do this. Please.
If you want to leave, leave after Nam Jin comes back.
You should talk to him first.
How can I face Nam Jin?
I took a child from such a rich family...
and put him through hardship. I deserve to die.
Listen. You didn't know that.
To be honest, he's not even your real child.
Not everyone can raise someone else's child with such affection.
Some people abuse their own children in this world.
How did you raise Nam Jin?
You cherished him.
He's been the reason of your life, and he means everything to you.
Love wasn't good enough.
I couldn't feed him well or buy him nice clothes.
He only went through hardships because of me.
Don't say that.
When I went home to pick up your clothes,
I teared up.
You wore old T-shirts with stretched necklines...
and the same cheap pants for over 10 years...
to financially support Nam Jin.
You did everything you could to raise him.
Don't you think Nam Jin will resent me?
If Nam Jin turns out to be that kind of person,
I will change my family name to Yang.
Why would you choose "Yang" out of all family names?
Now, you're acting like yourself.
Sun Ja, even if you're going to leave this house,
wait until Nam Jin comes back.
Running away in the middle of the night...
is something that only criminals would do.
All right.
Thank you for the dinner.
Visit me often.
Since I don't have a daughter, I want to get along well with you.
Sons are usually aloof and boring.
Are you speaking badly of me right in front of me?
Take her home safely.
Make sure to see her going into her house.
That's not necessary. I'm not a little child.
A real man must protect his woman.
And Si Woo is a real man.
How do you think of my mom?
I find her fabulous.
She's elegant, beautiful,
warmhearted, and very charming.
- She's warmhearted? - Yes.
My mom's nickname is Elsa.
Elsa?
- As in the ice queen, Elsa? - Yes.
I don't believe you.
When she smiles, no one could stay mad at her.
I think she likes you.
My mom shows that smile to only people she likes.
Where are we now?
You'll know when we go in.
I'd like to officially propose to you.
Please spend the rest of your life with me.
You're just looking at the ring without saying anything.
What does that mean?
Well... You said I'm like a little girl.
Doesn't that mean you feel the same way I feel about you?
It might be the wrong decision to get married with no feelings.
Aren't you worried?
You remember what my mom said, don't you?
"Love is responsibility."
Yes.
The feelings you're talking about...
is not love, but passion.
When passion dies, you become colder than before.
Even if you think...
you wouldn't mind eating ramyeon every day if you can be with him...
while facing hard times, you get tired of life...
and get tired of him too eventually.
That's the sad result of a marriage based on passion.
Don't assume that everyone thinks the same way as you do.
Some people can be happy even if they have to live...
on instant noodles.
Why do you force others to think like you do?
Why are you so fussy?
Don't you get tired of saying the same thing over and over?
I'd like to ask you the exact same question.
I told you. I don't believe in love.
Missing someone to death...
and feeling like the world would collapse without that person?
That kind of love doesn't exist.
I'd like to formally propose to you.
Please be part of my life from this moment on.
I could I feel nothing when a guy proposed to me?
Shouldn't I be excited? My heart should be fluttering now at least.
This is frustrating.
Well, if you...
ever need to vent to someone, don't hesitate to call me.
I can be a great listener.
Nam Jin, you are...
my grandson who went missing at a hospital...
30 years ago.
It's been such a long day.
To tell you the truth, there were times...
when I thought that it'd be very nice...
to have a grandfather like you.
But...
you're saying you're actually my grandfather,
and I'm so confused now.
It's me, Han Seung Joo.
Hey, Seung Joo.
Can you talk for a bit now?
Yes, I can.
You talked about "The King with Donkey Ears".
I desperately need to vent to someone now.
I guess we were on the same wavelength.
I also needed someone to vent to.
Really? That's great.
Go ahead and vent.
It's about one of the most important events in life,
but people around me keep pushing me regardless of how I feel about it.
What should I do?
How do you feel about it?
Do you want to do it or not?
To be honest, I'm not sure.
I'm not excited about it, but I don't dislike the idea.
I guess I'm indifferent about it.
It's one of the most important events in life,
and yet you feel indifferent about it?
Is it about marriage by any chance?
My gosh, you're very insightful.
How did you know?
I told you that I'm a caregiver who can read minds, remember?
Yes, I do remember.
So...
you're not sure whether you like the person or not,
but people around you keep pushing you to get married?
Yes. He doesn't seem like a bad person,
but I don't think it's right to marry someone...
who doesn't make my heart flutter.
Then how about you make some effort?
Effort?
Try to get to know the person better.
It'd be disrespectful of you to say that he isn't the one...
without even trying.
Right.
I believe that love is also about effort.
It's about trying to recognize good things about the person,
trying to understand him,
and trying to be the best person you can be...
for him.
Yes, you're right.
Please take one. Please, sir.
What are you doing here, Jin Ah?
I had to pick up some milk.
I have to go to work.
You should have some cereal at least.
I'll take this.
I'm running late. See you later!
Hello, please have a look at this.
Sir, please take a look.
(Looking for My Wife Who Ran Off)
Dae Sik must've lost his mind. He's totally lost his mind.
Wait, did he come all the way here to track me down?
What should I do?
My dear,
I'm here to see you.
Are you mad at me for not visiting you often?
When you find out whom I brought today,
you'll be very surprised.
That young man is...
our grandson who went missing 30 years ago.
Young Gyu's son, Nam Jin.
I finally found him, honey.
Say hello.
Your grandmother rests here.
I'm Yang Nam Jin.
Give him some time even if you want to hear him calling you Grandma.
He just found out, so it must be hard for him to accept it.
I know how much you wanted to meet him.
I'm sorry that I couldn't find him when you could still see him.
I'm sorry that I met Nam Jin again like this...
without you.
I'm sorry that only I get to see how wonderful our grandson is.
Sir.
- Sir. - Let's get going.
Next time I see you,
I'll be laid by your side.
I'll visit you again,
Grandma.
Sir.
Sir, are you all right?
Young Gyu, I'm in pain.
I don't like being in pain. Help me, Young Gyu.
Please hang in there.
I'll make sure you fully recover. I'll make your pain go away.
You have to live. Please, Grandpa.
There we go.
I'm going to work, Seung Joo.
- Wait, Dad. Have this green juice. - It's okay. I'm running late.
- It'll take 10 seconds. - Gosh, all right.
You have to watch what you eat to keep your blood pressure in check.
Stay away from foods that are high in fat like pork belly, okay?
Look at you. You nag me just like your mom used to.
- Thanks for the juice. - No problem.
- Have a good day. - Thanks.
- Hello? - Hi, Seung Joo.
It's Si Woo's mom.
Oh, hello, Ms. Choi.
I'm going to shop for clothes and gifts for the engagement ceremony.
- Are you free today? - Pardon?
Yes.
Then I'll see you there.
Try to see what he's really made of.
It'd be disrespectful of you to say that he isn't the one...
without even trying.
He's right. I should make an effort.
If I still don't think he's the right man for me despite that,
I can make a decision then.
Lawyer Heo, it's Nam Jin.
Yes, Nam Jin.
Grandpa... I mean,
- Chairman Ahn is in bad condition. - What?
Where are you now?
We're on our way to Seoul.
We'll arrive in Seoul in two hours. Where should I take him?
Take him home.
I will call Dr. Kim beforehand.
Young Gyu.
You're on your way to see her again, aren't you?
Why would you see that evil wench that's like a venomous snake?
Si Woo. Si Woo.
Drive safely.
Have you forgotten how your dad died?
Grandpa.
Yes, Dr. Kim. They will arrive home in two hours.
Please come on time. Yes.
Yes. Come in.
Hello, Lawyer Heo.
Ms. Choi, what brings you here?
I have something to discuss with you.
Oh, I see. Of course.
You heard from Father, right?
About the plan to change Si Woo's family name.
Yes, I heard.
I submitted the document to the court.
How is it done?
Is there anything we should prepare?
Chairman Ahn has to appear in court...
to testify that Si Woo is his grandson. That's all.
If Chairman Ahn can't appear due to his health problem,
we can submit a document that proves the blood relationship...
of the two of them instead.
A document that proves their blood relationship...
- Like DNA test result? - Yes.
If you don't have anything else to discuss with me, I'll get going.
I guess you're busy.
Oh, right.
About the caregiver...
Yes. Are you talking about Chief Secretary Yang Nam Jin?
Oh, I forgot. He's the chief secretary.
Chief Secretary Yang...
I heard you recommended him to be Father's caregiver.
That's right.
I want to know how you know that caregiver.
What do you mean by that?
His mom and his work colleague are staying in the guest house.
The fact that Father's caregiver's mom and colleague...
are staying in Father's house...
doesn't makes any sense to me.
I don't know anything about it.
I'm surprised that there's something you don't know about Father.
I'm running late. Then I'll get going now.
I think there's something going on.
That sly man.
Oh, my. She's beautiful.
She's just gorgeous.
Do I look okay?
You don't just look okay.
I've never seen a bride who is as beautiful as you before.
Since she has a nice body and a pretty face,
she can pull off a bold dress like this.
Gosh. What's wrong with your tuxedo?
Do you not like it?
This is the one I like the most.
And it's the cheapest one too.
Oh, my. President Han.
What are you doing here, Ms. Choi?
I'm here to help Seung Joo choose her engagement dress.
I should be the one who helps her. I'm sorry.
Who... Who is she?
Oh, right. Say hello to her, Yeon Sil.
This is Director Choi Si Woo's mother.
My goodness. Hello.
Congratulations on your marriage.
You're very beautiful.
Thank you.
However, President Han, I'm sorry.
Seung Joo will meet me here.
Oh, no. She'll be here?
Oh, no. What should I do?
She'll probably throw a fit if she finds out about our wedding.
I'll take her to the jewelry shop first,
so the two of you can leave while we're there.
Hello, Ms. Choi.
You're calling me that again.
I want to hear you calling me Mother.
I'm not used to doing that.
By the way, why are you standing out here?
Actually, the designer I know...
stepped out briefly.
Shall we go to the jewelry shop first?
Okay.
How about this one?
It's very beautiful,
but it's too expensive.
Mother... Mother.
I can afford a ring like this.
It looks great on you.
She must be your daughter.
The two of you look so much alike.
Do we?
Yes, she's my daughter.
Thanks to my son, I have a daughter now.
Yes, Son.
Seung Joo? She's with me.
I know what I'm doing.
I don't think I can join you guys.
Please take good care of Seung Joo.
Don't worry.
You know Seung Joo isn't the type who would nag her busy boyfriend.
Of course, I know. Yes.
My attire for the ceremony?
I'll leave it to you and Seung Joo.
Oh, right. Stop by your grandpa's on your way home after work.
Grandpa? Why?
Thank him for letting you change your family name.
And stop being upset at him.
You're his only grandson.
He must be so lonely with no family around him.
Okay. I'll do that.
Everyone is ready for the meeting, Director Choi.
I should go to the meeting. I'm hanging up, Mom.
You look gorgeous.
You look beautiful and lovely.
Thank you.
I like you very much, Seung Joo.
Do you know why?
Seung Joo, you are like...
a warm spring breeze.
You're bright, cheerful, and innocent.
You look like...
you give your warmth to others.
That's why I like you.
You probably don't know...
how lonely Si Woo and I...
have been until now, right?
The house is filled with a heavy atmosphere.
However,
if you become our family,
I think that heavy atmosphere...
will turn into a warm atmosphere.
I hope we'll get along well.
I promise you I will be a good mom to you.
Yes, Mother.
My gosh, sir.
Nam Jin... Nam Jin.
Nam Jin.
Nam Jin...
Nam Jin, Nam Jin...
Grandpa, please regain your consciousness.
He's passed the critical stage.
Thank you, Dr. Kim.
I told you that he has to take it easy.
If this happens again, you'll have to be prepared for bad news.
Got it, Doctor.
Nam Jin.
What is this?
It's chaga mushroom tea.
Make sure he drinks it whenever he gets thirsty.
I know this probably won't help much at all,
but I wanted to do something for him.
Hey, your mom went through hoops to get the mushrooms...
and spent the entire day brewing this tea for him.
She brewed it with all her heart, so it'll be better than plain water.
I was so inconsiderate.
It must've been hard for him to bring it up,
but I couldn't even say anything nice.
I didn't know what to do with my emotions,
so I couldn't be considerate of his feelings.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's our fault because we created this situation.
I'm sorry, Nam Jin.
I'm too ashamed to even face you.
What's going on here?
Who are you folks?
What are you people doing here?
(It's My Life)
He's your grandson.
No, he's not my grandson.
Do you not want to live with her?
Seung Joo scares me.
What if I really end up marrying him?
- You saw her walking out of there? - Yes, that's right.
It was her.
Are you foolish or brave?
Let's go.
