(It's My Life)
I like this one the best.
Mr. Choi gave you the rundown, right?
With this collaboration with the Italian brand,
we're aiming to reinterpret the European style into something...
uniquely Korean.
Yes, I think it's a great idea.
Consumers these days are very fashion-conscious.
They don't want to copy European trends.
Team One and Two...
will design Signora Line for women in their 40s to 50s...
and Signorina Line for women in their 20s to 30s.
First, Ms. Han will brief you on our design concept.
Yes. For our Signorina Line for women in their 20s to 30s,
we'll use premium-quality Italian fabrics...
and target the latest trends among young women.
As for colors, we'll predominantly use neutral shades.
Design-wise, we'd like to merge the retro style...
- with modern, new elements... - Ms. Choi.
Are you all right?
Get her out of here.
Who?
Every time I see that girl, I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Get her out of here, please.
Get out, please!
- Ms. Choi. - Ms. Choi.
Why are you doing this to me?
Are you really doing this to break us up?
Seung Joo.
You're so cruel.
Last time, you told me to move to Italy.
Will you get all worked up like this every time you see me from now on?
Do you... Do you really have to do this?
Enough, Ms. Han.
Ms. Choi isn't well.
Can't you try to be understanding?
Gosh, what a mess.
Please! Get out, please!
- Ms. Choi. - Seung Joo.
Please take care of Ms. Choi.
Seung Joo. Seung Joo.
We need to talk.
Later.
Right now, I don't want to talk about anything.
If you leave like this, I'll feel uneasy.
I, too, am distressed and uneasy.
Seung Joo.
Yes, Mr. Jang.
Yes. I'll go to the staff lounge right now.
I'm sorry about before, Mr. Ahn.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I do. I'm sorry for raising my voice...
to your subordinate in front of you.
Please kindly understand.
I think I wasn't firm enough to prevent what happened.
I shouldn't have let Ms. Choi and Seung Joo see each other.
Until when will you keep them apart?
Will you do that even after getting married?
Do you know why Ms. Choi gets upset whenever she sees Seung Joo?
It's because she's afraid...
you might refuse to see her for the rest of her life...
as Seung Joo wants.
She talked to herself...
that she wouldn't mind...
if you and Si Woo treat her like an insect...
as long as she gets to see you both.
She said she wanted nothing else other than that.
It was you.
You talked my naive son, Nam Jin, into kicking me out of this house!
Get her out of here.
Every time I see that girl, I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Get her out of here, please.
I'll use all my power and personal connections to help Nam Jin succeed.
Do you think stopping me from doing it is good for him?
(Dad)
Yes, Dad.
Where are you now?
Where else would I be? I'm at work.
You brat, don't lie to me.
I just talked to Mr. Koo on the phone.
He said you left without saying anything.
Did something happen?
Nothing happened.
I just ditched work because I needed some fresh air.
You brat. You shouldn't behave like that at work.
Ditch work just as you want or slacking off...
will put Mr. Ahn in a difficult position.
Just for today.
Just for a day.
It won't happen again.
Where is she?
She said she ditched work to get some fresh air,
but she sounded so upset.
She's not wandering around a Han River bridge, right?
Gosh. Don't say such a thing.
When I heard about the meeting with Ms. Choi,
I started to have a bad feeling about it...
as if something hit the back of my head.
Gosh. What was Mr. Ahn doing?
He knew what happened between Ms. Choi and Seung Joo.
He should have prevented it before it happened.
Exactly. After what she has done to us,
how could she try to act like her mother-in-law?
Well... She's not trying to act like her mother-in-law.
She was shocked so much by what happened...
that she developed amnesia...
and panic disorder. That's why she behaves like that.
Mr. Lee, whose side are you on?
Are you on Ms. Choi's side or Seung Joo's side?
Me? I'm on Nam Jin's side.
This is a serious problem.
Ms. Choi throws a fit...
whenever she sees Seung Joo.
It seems hard for them to work together.
I think it's too much work for Ms. Lee alone.
How about you hire another designer?
I also thought of it.
However, I'm not sure if someone new can work well with Ms. Lee.
Since it's an urgent situation,
I think there could be a conflict between them.
Isn't there a fully competent designer...
who is ready to work right away living in your house?
A fully competent designer who is ready to work right away?
Are you talking about Jin Ah?
Yes.
But she's pregnant. Will she be okay?
Let's ask her to join the team just for the collaboration.
And she can formally return to work after giving birth.
Also, you and she are living in the same house,
so it's easy for you two to communicate with each other.
Mr. Heo, you are my emotional anchor.
However, I'm worried about Ms. Han.
Right.
She may look brave, but she's actually softhearted.
I feel like she's going through a hard time because of me.
It breaks my heart.
You see,
until I met you, I believed...
that somewhere in this world,
there must be a kind, upright,
and optimistic young man.
And I believed that such a person...
makes our world a nice place to live.
When I met you,
I realized that I was right about what I believed.
Oh, gosh.
Don't blame yourself.
Thanks to you, everyone around you is changing.
Welcome...
Oh, my. Jin Ah.
Have you been well?
Dae Sik, you look so great.
Goodness. You look so excited. Are you that happy to see her?
No. It's not like that.
You're the only one for me, Yeon Ji.
Give us some tea, please.
Wait. Give Jin Ah juice instead.
Okay.
What did you want to tell me, Yeon Ji?
Actually, I need your help.
My help?
To be honest, I was able to join Design Team One...
thanks to you.
What do you mean? You got the job because you're competent.
The report you wrote.
Mr. Jang recommended me because of that report.
Really?
That being said, my team will work on the Signora Line...
for the collaboration with the Italian brand.
Mr. Jang asked me to write a report on the design concept,
and I don't even know where to start.
"Signora Line"?
Help me out.
This time, I'll make sure to include your name on the report.
I'll submit it in your name if you'd like me to.
I know you want to come back to work.
How about you just work on this project with me?
I'll have to ask Si Woo first.
All right, I'll write the draft for the report.
Take a look at it later and revise it if needed.
Going back to work is good,
but once you start working,
you'll work all day and night. That's what I'm concerned about.
I'll be really careful.
I won't work late, and I'll make sure I eat on time.
Can you promise?
If you work late or overwork yourself,
you'll have to quit, okay?
Okay.
Mother.
Jin Ah, are you thinking of going back to work?
Yes, Mother.
No, don't. Wait until you have your baby.
You're weak. How could you think about going back to work now?
I already told her that she could.
Also, whether Jin Ah goes back to work now or not...
is none of your business.
What brings you here?
Are you the one...
trying to stop splitting Hyunkang?
Yes.
We've already finished filling all the positions,
and we have the funds ready as well.
All big companies are splitting into subsidiaries these days.
It's also a way to further grow your influence.
Have you still not given up on your greed...
to take over Hyunkang?
I don't have such ambition.
I just want the best for you and Nam Jin.
If you want the best for us, please don't do anything.
If you truly care about us, that is.
I guess you're done for the day.
I guess you're okay today,
judging from how cold you are to me.
What do you mean?
You were so happy to see me the other day, saying we hadn't...
seen each other for 30 years.
You even introduced me to your daughter-in-law. Don't you remember?
You've got to get a grip no matter how tough the situation is.
If you don't pull yourself together, many people will suffer.
Stop spewing total nonsense and just do your work properly.
See? I told you.
Ms. Choi has been acting weird lately.
I heard she started trembling when she saw Seung Joo in the hallway.
That's odd.
She looks totally fine though.
Those who seem all sane and rational can cause big trouble.
- It's so odd. - Gosh, I don't believe you.
Mr. Ahn, we'll get going, then.
All right. Have a good weekend, everyone.
Oh, I'll submit the report on our design concept next week.
We're not sure what's going on, but please cheer up.
(Letter of Resignation)
- You said it. - My gosh.
You told them to kick me out!
Please! Get out, please!
Eat more, will you?
Don't you know that picking at your food drives your luck away?
Well, Ms. Yang.
By any chance, have you seen me...
saying or doing weird things lately?
Saying or doing weird things?
I don't think so.
Really?
By the way, why aren't the kids home yet?
Nam Jin said he'd be working late today,
and Si Woo said he'd eat out with Jin Ah.
The house feels empty without them.
Right?
That's why people say that friends are so important when you're older.
It's especially true for people like us who are single.
We must care for each other.
If we're all alone, the loneliness will kill us.
Absolutely.
I've been feeling more alive since you moved in here, Ms. Yang.
I have to say,
you're incredibly fortunate, Geum Soon.
Fortunate, my foot.
No one's life can be more unfortunate than mine.
Still, you have friends.
You have your friend of 30 years who trusts you...
and cheers for you no matter what you do.
Also, you have Mr. Lee,
who still calls you his angel even after everything...
you put him through.
When you come back from your trip,
you'll feel much better.
Yes, have a great trip.
It'll get rid of all your stress.
Where are you, Seung Joo?
What on earth are you thinking?
Seung Joo.
Did you have dinner?
Let's head out. Let's talk outside.
No.
What is this?
It's my letter of resignation.
I don't want to do this anymore.
What do you mean?
Let's...
break up.
Seung Joo.
I...
can't be with you anymore.
Why are you being like this?
I've told you this.
One of my secrets to not getting myself hurt is...
ending things when they're no longer working out.
So I have...
decided to give up my feelings for you.
Is this because of Ms. Choi?
They say that to love someone,
you must love everything about that person.
From his family...
and background...
to even his bad habits, everything.
But the thing is,
I tried and realized that I can't do it.
I used to hate Ms. Choi, but it turned out...
that she's your birth mother.
I still feel resentful toward her.
And on top of that, she acts up every time she sees me.
How...
How can I accept her?
You don't have to accept her.
You just have to...
accept and embrace who I am.
No. I'm not even sure I can watch you with Ms. Choi now.
However,
I can't tell you to cut ties with her,
your birth mother.
I shouldn't do that.
Without me,
don't get sick.
Don't be lonely.
Don't blindly trust anybody and help them out.
Make sure to eat on time.
No matter what... Take good care of yourself no matter what.
Our time...
is over now.
I...
I'll try harder.
I'll make you forget your feelings towards Ms. Choi.
I'll be good to you.
I'm sorry.
I can't make you act like a stranger to your birth mother...
whom you finally met after 30 years because of me.
This is for the best.
Let's break up.
I hated Ms. Choi, but she...
turned out to be your birth mother.
I still feel resentful towards her,
and she behaves weird whenever she sees me.
How... How can I accept her?
It'll be cold at night, you might get sick while trying to look great.
Please don't worry.
I prepared extra clothes for her.
Of course, you did.
How do I look? Don't I look fabulous?
My goodness. Fabulous, my foot. You look like a swindler.
Gosh. Seriously.
I packed some kimchi and side dishes.
Thank you so much.
Ms. Yang and Ms. Heo, why don't you join us?
No. Why would we eat meat outside when we can eat it at home?
We're going to enjoy a relaxing time at home.
Have a great time.
Hey, Mr. Ahn. We're going camping.
We found a nice place for glamping that's popular these days.
We're going there. Do you want to join us?
I'm fine. Have fun.
Why does Nam Jin look so down?
Did something happen yesterday?
No. He came home late last night because of work.
Did Mr. Choi go somewhere?
Yes. He and Jin Ah went out for grocery shopping.
Si Woo went for grocery shopping?
Why did you send him grocery shopping?
My goodness. We didn't send him.
He followed his wife.
Let them be. Newlywed couples go grocery shopping together.
Let's get going now. Okay?
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
See you later.
Have a good time.
I will never break up with you, Seung Joo.
(Seung Joo)
- Hi, Mr. Ahn. - Hello, Father.
Is Seung Joo at your house by any chance?
Seung Joo didn't come here.
What on earth is going on?
What? Seung Joo submitted her resignation letter?
Yes. I'll tell you the details when I see you.
All right. I see.
- Did Seung Joo resign? - Yes.
Seung Joo has perseverance.
She wouldn't have quit unless there was a serious problem.
Could Ms. Choi be giving her a hard time?
She's in no position to give Seung Joo a hard time!
Oh, gosh. Why would you yell?
- You scared me. - Gosh.
Seung Joo. Seung Joo.
Seung Joo, open the door.
Seung Joo, I know you're in there.
Seung Joo, open the door and talk to me.
Seung Joo.
(It's My Life)
- It's the anniversary of his death. - You don't have to go.
- What do you mean by that? - They don't want you there.
I can't break up with Seung Joo.
Father, please change her mind.
As long as Ms. Choi exists, you and Seung Joo can't be together.
What are you doing now?
Do you think you can ignore me?
Is it that easy for you?
Enough is enough!
