(It's My Life)
What is going on here?
Who are you folks?
What are you people doing here?
You explain, Lawyer Heo.
Who in the world are these people?
Si Woo.
This is Mr. Yang's mother and his business partner.
What?
That's even more unbelievable.
Why are Mr. Yang's mother...
and business partner in this house?
Mr. Yang's mother is sick...
and Chairman Ahn told them to stay at the outhouse...
while she is getting treated.
Grandpa did?
- Is he in his room? - Yes.
He was given a tranquilizer and just fell asleep.
Are you telling me not to go in?
No.
If it's about my family being here,
I'll take them somewhere else first thing tomorrow morning.
I just wanted to ask you not to bother him about it.
This is unbelievable.
Are you saying I bother my grandpa?
You know very well that isn't what I mean.
Why are you being so rude?
He was very ill...
after visiting his wife's grave today.
Knowing that, I don't want him to worry about this.
He visited Grandma's grave?
Who do you think you are?
How could you take him there?
Don't you know he shouldn't wear himself out?
Si Woo, it's what the chairman wanted.
You shouldn't have let him either.
Even if he wanted to go, how could you let a sick man travel so far?
You would've stopped him if you really cared for him.
The chairman said he'd go see her one last time.
How was I supposed to stop him from doing that?
I can't read you, Lawyer Heo.
I don't know what you're thinking.
I want you to keep your promise.
Take your family elsewhere first thing tomorrow.
Or else you're fired.
Look.
How could a young man be so mean?
We didn't come here because we wanted to.
It's okay, Mom.
Don't worry about it and go back to the outhouse.
Let's go.
Come on.
Fired?
Look, Director Choi Si Woo.
I was hired by Chairman Ahn Seok Ho.
He should be the one to fire me.
I don't think you have the right to make that decision.
What?
Have you given it a thought...
why the chairman asked my mom and Mr. Lee to stay here?
He said he was lonely.
He said he lived here for over 20 years...
in this huge house with no one other than the housekeeper.
He said he wanted to live...
with other people in a lively house.
This may sound presumptuous, but I'll say it.
Have you ever spent time with Chairman Ahn?
Do you know what kind of food he likes,
which songs he likes to sing or what his hobbies are?
Do you?
No.
Have you ever made an effort to get to know him better?
How dare you?
Learning little things like that about each other...
and laughing and crying together...
are what family members do and how they express affection.
That's what he missed.
You...
I'll see until when you can act up just because Grandpa is nice to you.
You must be very confused.
Yes.
Honestly, I'm really confused.
I want to quit working here and go back to my hometown.
But it doesn't feel right, so I'm enduring it.
I'm sure Chairman Ahn has his own plan.
Please wait until then.
What are you doing, Grandpa?
Did Soo Hee send you to kill me?
You put poison in the water, didn't you?
Grandpa, please stop it!
Young Gyu, that man scares me.
Get him out of here now. Get him out of here.
No one put poison in the water.
I'm right here to protect you.
Didn't he put poison in the water?
Take a look at him. He's your grandson.
No. He's not my grandson.
Get him out of here please. I'm scared.
No. He's not my grandson.
Are you really going to leave tomorrow?
I should.
He said he'll fire Nam Jin if I don't.
He can't do that. It's ridiculous.
Why is it ridiculous?
If Nam Jin is Chairman Ahn's grandson,
that means he's Director Choi's brother.
Then how can he fire Nam Jin?
You are right.
I don't know exactly what happened in this family,
but seeing that director's family name is Choi,
not Ahn, he was probably adopted or something.
He should know his place since Nam Jin is the real grandson.
How dare he treat Nam Jin like that?
You're right about that too.
His family name was Choi not Ahn.
- Are you still up? - Yes.
- How is Chairman Ahn doing? - He's sleeping.
You were upset back there, right?
There's nothing to be upset about.
Are you okay?
Of course. Why wouldn't I be?
I really think...
Sang Hyun and I should leave this house.
It feels like we only cause trouble.
So I feel uncomfortable, Nam Jin.
Okay. I'll tell Chairman Ahn tomorrow morning.
You better move to the studio we found before.
I'm not going to that studio.
I'll just go back to my hometown.
My legs don't hurt anymore.
If it hurts too much,
I can get some medication from a hospital in the town.
Gosh. Why should you do that?
Pardon me?
I mean, Chairman Ahn is your grandfather.
Why should we be kicked out of here because of that man?
I can't believe you.
The fact that Nam Jin is his grandson has nothing to do with us.
We're total strangers to him.
Don't say anything anymore.
Mom.
Yes?
I lived as your son for the past 30 years.
I will continue to live as your son.
Nam Jin.
You, my loving mother, and Sang Hyun...
are the only family I have.
However, I want to stay by Chairman Ahn's side...
while he's alive.
So the lonely man feels comfortable when he leaves.
Can you endure it until then?
Si Woo and I have been very lonely until now.
You probably don't know how scary...
loneliness can be, 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 only decided to make an effort.
What if I really marry him?
Make some time for me this Saturday afternoon.
This Saturday? Where are we going this time?
There will be a wedding of someone important I know for business.
Are you asking me to go there with you?
Yes. There will be a lot of events we should attend together.
So try to get used to it quickly.
Gosh.
Dress appropriately as Hyunkang's future owner's wife, okay?
I'll pick you up at 3pm.
He does everything as he wants.
I searched everywhere to find you for the past 30 years.
Everyone said you were probably dead,
but I didn't believe them.
I fell ill and didn't have much time left to live,
but I couldn't die without finding you.
Does it hurt anywhere?
Did you stay up all night because of me?
No.
- Chairman Ahn. - Yes?
You knew that I was your grandson...
when I first came to this house as your caregiver, right?
Yes. I knew that.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Since I grew up in a small town with a single mom,
were you worried if I'd take money from you when I found out?
Nam Jin.
While working for you until now,
I thought you were a great man...
who believes that everyone is equal,
and no one is above anyone else.
But if you thought of me like that,
I would be disappointed.
My mom didn't raise me to be that kind of person.
Even when I picked up a pencil on the street as a kid,
she caned me.
She said those who want things that belong to others are the worst.
She told me not to lose my pride even though we were poor.
That wasn't the reason.
I only wanted to have you beside me to see what kind of person you were.
Did it hurt your feelings that much?
I'm penniless,
but I've been living with pride until now.
I don't care about the big picture you drew.
As soon as you fully recover,
I'll go back to my hometown with my mom and Mr. Lee.
Do you really have to do that?
Yes.
So please get well soon.
Do you understand?
Please don't be upset.
I'm grateful despite all that.
There's nothing special about me,
but you tried to find me for 30 years without giving up.
And you gave me a chance to feel the love of my grandpa. Thank you.
Nam Jin.
Breakfast is ready, Chairman Ahn.
Would you like to eat here?
I can't do that when I have guests.
My goodness. It's not my birthday.
This is a feast.
Ms. Yang cooked all this for you early this morning.
I don't think we should let a precious guest cook.
I told her she shouldn't, but...
I wanted to.
I wanted to cook you some of the foods you like...
before leaving this house.
- Don't blame her, Chairman Ahn. - What do you mean you're leaving?
Your grandson caused a scene,
telling us to leave immediately yesterday.
He said he'd fire Nam Jin if we didn't.
Mr. Lee.
How dare he say that!
You just can't keep that mouth shut, can you?
I was just telling the truth.
We have our pride.
Who yells in someone else's face to leave like that?
It hurt my feelings.
I'm sorry.
I'd like to apologize to you two on behalf of him.
Please don't be upset.
- It's okay. - Don't say that.
I'll have a word with him.
So, please stay here for me.
This is my house.
It's also Nam Jin's house.
What is wrong about you staying at Nam Jin's house?
Still...
Nam Jin will feel better...
with his mom close by.
Right, Nam Jin?
Let's stop talking about this and eat. Let's eat.
You'll need to stop by the office today.
Yes, sir.
Let's eat.
What's this?
I found it there this morning.
Did you drink last night?
Yes, I couldn't sleep and had a drink.
It looks like you had more than a drink.
Did something happen at Father's house yesterday?
Did Soo Hee send you to kill me?
You put poison in the water, didn't you?
Nothing happened.
I have a hangover.
- I'd like some dried pollack soup. - Okay.
Could you give him some honey water first?
Okay.
What is it?
Tell me the truth.
About what?
I know you.
Mom.
Do you know what kind of food Grandpa likes?
Food? No.
Do you know which songs he likes or what his hobbies are?
Have you taken walks with him...
or spent time with him?
Your grandpa doesn't make time for me.
He gets upset at the look of me.
Why do you ask all of a sudden?
Someone told me...
that people that share those small things...
along with laughs and tears...
are a family.
Come to think of it,
I've never had that.
- Si Woo. - I don't have a single memory...
of going to an amusement park holding hands with my parents,
nor do I have memories of playing soccer with Dad.
I don't even remember...
playing on Grandpa's lap as a child.
I'm sorry, Si Woo. Because of me...
Why are you sorry?
You're a victim too.
If I get married,
I want to have children right away.
I'm going to...
fill this house with their laughter.
I'll ride bikes with my kid,
play soccer...
and take baths.
That's the life I want.
Yes, of course.
My stomach hurts. Let's eat and go to work.
I'm late, I'm late.
You know the briefing for qualifiers is at two today, right?
Don't be late.
Yes, of course.
Wear your best outfit.
A designer's first impression is made by her style.
Okay, Yeon Ji.
I'm late.
- Can I ask you something? - What is it?
- Have you seen this person? - I'm late for work.
How dare you grab me!
- I'm sorry. - I'm late already.
I'm sorry.
It might be because I have so much to worry about at work,
but my blood pressure often rises above 160.
His only daughter hasn't been taking good care of him.
It was bad of me.
Man Seok.
So you want to push our honeymoon back?
Seung Joo's engagement is next week.
We can't go on our honeymoon.
Who will help her get ready?
Still, you only have one honeymoon.
I know.
Let's go on a cruise trip after Seung Joo gets engaged.
- A cruise? - Yes.
A cruise in the Mediterranean.
We'll party every day on the ship.
I looked into it...
and they have swimming pools and gyms.
Really?
So just wait a little bit.
Man Seok, will we live with Seung Joo...
for now if we get married?
Yes. Why?
Do you not want to live with her?
It's not that. Being your daughter makes her my daughter.
Why would I not want to?
Then why would you ask?
Seung Joo scares me.
She scares you?
What if she comes into our room while we're asleep...
and tears my hair out?
She's not like that.
She's just very close to her mom...
and is having a hard time accepting a stepmother.
She isn't a mean girl.
President Han, your daughter is here.
Come over here.
- Hide here. - Here?
Oh, my back hurts.
- My back hurts. - What are you doing, Dad?
My back hurts...
and I was stretching.
What brings you here?
You always skip breakfast, so I brought you lunch.
Eating out is bad for your blood pressure.
That's too bad. I already ate.
Already? It's only 11 am.
I didn't have breakfast,
so I had brunch.
- Brunch? - Yes.
I need to visit a client now.
You should've called me beforehand.
Is that so?
Let's leave together.
I'll give you a ride home.
Why are you in such a hurry?
I was looking at proposals that need my approval all morning...
and didn't know it was this late.
All right. Leave this in your refrigerator...
and have it when you're hungry.
Okay. Thank you, my daughter.
I brought you up well.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Let's go.
Why would she pack him lunch?
So you saw her coming out of the next door?
Yes. That's her.
That's great. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, no. What should I do?
I said I could go by myself.
Staying home wouldn't be so good for me anyway.
I would have to peel onions being nagged by your mom...
and prepare spinach all day long.
Thanks to you, I have a chance to look around a large company...
like Hyunkang and get some fresh air.
That's so much better.
By the way, how do you feel?
What do you mean?
You found out that you're Hyunkang Group's owner's grandson.
I am not.
I'm just Chairman Ahn's grandson.
Gosh. That's the same thing.
Who knows? You might inherit the company.
That's nonsense.
Running a company is no joke.
Although I'm his grandson, he wouldn't give away his company...
to a country boy like me.
And even if he does, I don't want to take it.
When Chairman Ahn passes away,
I'll go back home with you and my mom.
Right. In fact, you will live more comfortably that way.
Life is simple.
What makes you comfortable is the best.
Running a company is so complicated, so forget about it.
Just ask him...
to buy you a nice car like this.
Or ask him to buy you a building in our hometown.
What's the point of having a nice car?
We live from hand to mouth. We can't even afford to maintain it.
That's true.
Well, just ask him to buy you a building, no...
Land. Right. Land sounds great.
No, no.
A gas station. How about a gas station?
Stop it, Mr. Lee.
We're here. Please drop me off at the entrance.
Okay.
(Hyunkang Group)
Hello, Director Choi.
The interview with the successful applicants is today, right?
I like how you dressed today.
Did you make it yourself?
Yes, I did. Thank you, Director Choi.
- After you. - Thank you.
Jin Ah. Jin Ah!
Jin Ah! Jin Ah!
(Hyunkang New Designer Recruitment, Design Briefing)
You have to go that way.
Yes. Thank you, sir.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
What happened?
I tripped on my way here.
I'm fine.
I'll take you to a hospital.
The hospital designated by this company is near here.
No. I'm fine.
The briefing is about to begin too.
You don't look fine.
Do you think they can focus on what you say when you're hurt?
Let's go.
Jin Ah. Jin Ah.
Jin Ah.
Are you stupid or brave?
You have a fracture.
I said I was fine.
I couldn't make it to the briefing because of you.
What should I do? It was hard to make it this far.
I called the company before.
I said you wouldn't be able to be there due to an accident,
so you won't get any disadvantages.
Really?
Thank you, sir.
I talked to your doctor, so make sure to get treatment.
I'll tell them to send the material of today's briefing to your e-mail.
And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me.
Don't think it's special treatment.
It's simply...
small expectation and kindness.
"Expectation and kindness"?
I saw desperation in your eyes.
I'm a pretty good judge of character.
I believe...
that you will create good designs with your desperation.
Thank you, sir.
It's too soon to thank me.
If you're really grateful, repay me with a good result.
I'll look forward to seeing your name...
on the list of the final successful applicants.
I think we fell in love with each other
You are mine now, you'll be mine forever
You are the only one for me
What are you doing?
Hello. We meet again.
- I'm Lee Sang Hyun. - Lee Sang Hyun?
You're the caregiver's colleague, right?
It's an honor that you remember my face.
Do you have something to say to me?
I hope I will have a lot of chances to see you.
You are beautiful.
Please give me your number.
I'm speechless.
I think I fell in love with you at first sight
I think we're connected by love
You are mine now
You're so beautiful.
My angel, I'll see you again.
I think we're connected by love
Wi-Fi of love
You're so beautiful, my angel.
(Management Support Team)
She was Jin Ah. I'm sure of it.
Come in.
What brings you here, Mr. Yang?
I have something to ask you about.
Have a seat.
Did you talk to a lady on the first floor earlier?
Well, I don't remember that.
This is her. Her name is Jung Jin Ah.
Who is she? Why are you asking me about her?
She's my friend. A very special friend of mine.
"A very special friend"?
I have to find Jin Ah. Please help me.
(It's My Life)
You may be disappointed right now, but you'll understand me someday.
Where did Mom's picture go?
- This is Jin Ah. - Do you know Jin Ah?
You want me to meet Dae Sik?
Your husband died because of you. How dare you raise your voice?
Father died because of you, Grandpa.
