(It's My Life)
(Episode 66)
Bang Cheol Sang.
I heard you're looking for Choi Geum Soon.
What?
Yes.
I found someone who knows Choi Geum Soon well.
Would you like to meet that person?
I don't think there's a need for that anymore.
I asked about Choi Geum Soon to someone back home...
and that person said that she passed away.
Is that so?
Who is the person that knows Choi Geum Soon well?
It doesn't matter.
If Cheol Sang keeps quiet, there won't be any problem.
Hello.
You have a briefing from the outlet manager in 30 minutes.
Ma'am?
Yes, what did you say?
You have a briefing in 30 minutes regarding sales from the outlets.
Okay.
The son of the director from Hongcheon children's home.
- He's abroad as a professor, right? - Yes, sir.
Is he abroad with his whole family?
No, his wife and children are still here.
That's good.
Can you find out if his wife holds records of the children's home?
Records of the children's home?
With the children's home's record,
We will know the truth behind Choi Geum Soon.
Yes sir.
If I'm correct, she must've changed her name at the children's home...
and registered herself as an independent household.
How are you supposed to manufacture that amount again?
Firstly, we should apologize and notify the outlets...
that the release of the products will be postponed.
We will pay parts of the manufacture cost as well,
so could you discuss this with Minhan Group, Koo Jae Seon?
This is their fault.
Why do we have to cover the expenses?
We put in the wrong order and President Han...
was supposed to edit it beforehand but this happened.
So we are partly responsible.
Calculating the sales after the contest,
we might face some loss. Do we have to do this?
The cost for this is quite big.
When all the other factories rejected our production,
Minhan Group helped us out.
Shouldn't we repay one's kindness?
We know that, but...
we're worried that this might effect the outcome of the contest.
We can raise our sales to cover that.
Don't worry everyone.
That's right.
How about the group purchase from the kindergarten?
We have to complete it before the contest ends.
They will secure the supplies for the kindergarten first.
We will be able to release it before the contest.
Let's focus on making up for this now.
Thank you.
Ahn Nam Jin speaking.
I'm Ko Yeon Sil.
Sorry? Who's this?
The wife of President Han from Minhan Group.
I'm Secretary Ko who made the mistake yesterday.
Yes.
But may I know why you're calling?
Yes, I'll be on my way.
This is part of the money you gave me...
after losing Savior. I used a little bit of it.
Why are you giving this to me?
To be honest, I'm also responsible for that happening.
No.
I'm totally fine if this comforted you...
in any way.
No.
I heard that you're covering charges for the mistake I made.
I wish this could be a little help.
We should cover the charges since we put in the wrong order.
I'll appreciate your kindness.
Please take it. If I take this back...
my husband won't be happy.
All right. I appreciate it.
I'm so sorry about last time.
I had no idea that Seon Gyu used that money.
I thought you were accusing Seon Gyu for stealing.
To be honest, my mother didn't know...
that you were pregnant and acted that way.
I hope you understand, ma'am.
"Ma'am"?
Just call me Secretary Ko.
Please take care of Seung Joo.
Seung Joo is a little ill-tempered because he takes over his dad.
But he doesn't mean it.
I know that.
I should go now.
If I'm late, Man Seok is going to be unhappy.
- I see. Get back safely. - Okay.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- Dae Sik, I'm leaving. - Goodbye Nam Jin.
Seon Hui, you're early.
- Hello sir. - Come this way.
Seon Hui?
Can I use this apron?
Yes and...
you can leave your bag here.
- Dae Sik. - Yes?
- Who's that? - A part-timer.
She started today.
Are you Lee Seon Hui?
How do you know my name?
Is your father's name...
Lee Sang Hyun?
Are you a loan shark?
I don't know where my dad is.
I haven't been in touch with him for years.
I'm telling the truth.
No, I'm not a loan shark.
Please hold on. Don't go anywhere.
- We're so sorry. - We will make it again.
- We'd appreciate it. - No that's...
Yes, we're very sorry.
Yes, Mr. Ahn. What's the matter?
What?
What are you saying?
Are you sure it's Seon Hui?
Yes, I'll be there soon.
Seon Hui.
Are you...
really Seon Hui?
You are Seon Hui.
Dad.
Yes.
I haven't seen you since you were in middle school. You've grown a lot.
Dad, you've aged.
You lost so much weight as well.
Dad.
Dad, are you still avoiding the loan sharks?
No, I already paid back my loans.
I'm also employed.
I'm a manager.
Really?
I'm so happy for you.
Where did you find Seon Hui,
Nam Jin?
You always showed me a photo of her when we went out for drinks.
That's how I recognized her.
Thank you, Nam Jin.
Thank you for finding her.
I employed Seon Hui.
Thank you, Dae Sik.
I should go back in and work.
You should catch up with her.
Seon Hui, you should come home after work.
Okay.
Seon Hui.
I'm so sorry.
We solved it somehow, right?
Yes, I think we'll do well if we run the factory over the holiday.
Where was that money from?
What money?
The money you gave Koo Jae Seon to cover the charges.
It's not your personal money, right?
That money...
was from the wife of President Han.
His wife?
I think she felt bad about the money she received for Savior.
Yes, that's what a human being should do.
Why did she only give that much?
Oh yes, she bought a mink coat and gave some money to her brother.
After meeting her today, I realized that she's changed a lot.
She's become much simple and calm now.
I liked the change a lot.
I guess. I could tell that she changed too.
Seung Joo, do you want to come over to my place during the holidays?
During the holidays?
You should greet my mom.
You should make dumplings and pan-fried delicacies too.
Okay. I'm great at making dumplings.
I'll be in charge of the dumplings.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Yes?
Welcome. Have a seat.
Are you solving the problem from Minhan Group well?
Yes, I think we'll be able to manage as long as we meet the deadline.
I'm happy to hear that.
The reason why I called you in was...
Yes. Please share your words.
I don't have any evidence nor definite truth about this.
It's all based on my assumptions.
Hence, I'm cautious about this.
But I couldn't let this go.
That's why I wanted to hear your opinion on this first.
What is this about?
You know that Bang Cheol Sang stole you as a kid, right?
Yes, I know.
I think he had a partner who instigated...
your abduction.
A partner?
Who's that?
According to my assumption,
I think it's Managing Director Choi.
Managing Director Choi?
Why would she?
A strong candidate like you should be gone...
so Si Woo can be the successor.
She's got plenty of motives.
But since this information is from 30 years ago,
I don't have an evidence for it.
Then...
Choi Geum Soon that Bang Cheol Sang was looking for...
is the same person as Managing Director Choi?
It happens to be that way.
After investigating this secretly,
Choi Geum Soon was in a children's home...
to avoid her father who was an alcoholic and abused her.
She changed her name there and...
registered herself as an independent household.
Even if Choi Geum Soon is Managing Director Choi,
we won't be able to find the evidence that she instigated...
my abduction 30 years ago.
Yes.
Even if Bang Cheol Sang confesses,
it'll be difficult to report Managing Director Choi...
due to lack of evidence.
Do you still want to reveal the truth?
Yes.
Chairman Ahn who passed away...
was in grief for 30 years.
We could say that your parents...
and your grandparents...
all passed away in grief after losing you.
I think we should reveal this truth no matter what.
Do we have to?
I'm not sure about this.
Sorry?
If the truth is revealed,
I think a lot of people will be hurt.
They won't be able to handle it.
You don't want to open what could be the Pandora's box.
I guess that's what you mean.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
I understand.
But the truth will be revealed anyhow.
I'm going to reveal the truth.
For Chairman Ahn at least.
- I'm heading back first. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Aren't you going back, Jin Ah?
Yes, I have some work to finish off.
Managing Director Choi is nice to you, right?
Tell me if she turns cold to you.
She's nice to me.
Her love for her son is too big.
She might get grumpy, feeling like you took her son.
No, she's really nice to me.
That's good then.
- I'm going home. - Okay.
- Good luck. - Bye.
Let's go.
Let's go have dinner with your parents.
My mom left already.
Already?
What's the point of staying at an empty house when I'm busy?
Is that why you made my mother-in-law leave already?
It's not like that.
Tell me.
What?
What's in your mind...
that's making you frown all day?
The design is difficult, that's all.
Tell me.
If we get married, do I have to stop working?
What are you talking about?
I'm not stupid to leave a great designer like you at home.
Really?
What made you think that?
Did my mom say that?
No.
I just thought about what I should do...
if I'm asked to give up my job.
It's a bad habit to worry beforehand.
Let's go.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes, it happened to be that way. Please help us out.
Yes, I appreciate it.
Please try your best to meet the deadline.
Yes.
What's going on.
We're facing loss and losing credibility.
Is she asleep?
Chairman, this is Secretary Ko.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I'm like this.
I hate myself too.
But I feel hopeful these days.
I enjoy working and being able to go work with my husband...
I mean my chairman.
Please don't fire me.
Please?
How's this a written apology?
Seung Joo told me that you shouldn't try to fix people.
What should I do if she makes another mistake?
Gosh.
It's my fault for not knowing.
Who else can I blame?
You lost.
Come in.
Father, Mom!
- Come in, you haven't eaten, right? - No.
What brings you here?
We came here to see our son and daughter.
"Daughter"?
Oh, you address your daughter-in-law as that.
I think it's better to spend holidays here from now on.
That's right. The traffic is so bad.
The road to Seoul is empty...
but the road out of Seoul is like a parking lot.
We have to look after our store as well so...
we were going to visit you only a day. This is great.
I heard you were sick.
You lost so much weight.
I'm fine now.
Dae Sik made me ginger tea and looked after me all night.
I was so touched.
Good job, Dae Sik.
Men should know how to comfort women.
I put a heating pad in your room.
When you're cold, make sure you keep warm with it.
You'll feel good.
A heating pad?
Thank you.
That's not all.
My wife spend all night cooking your favorite dishes,
grilled deodeok and braised short ribs.
Why are you so nice to me?
- Because you're pretty. - Yes.
- Your smile is pretty too. - Okay.
- You're gentle too. - That's right.
- You have great personality too. - You're right.
My father and my mom only likes Yeon Ji.
- You don't pay me any attention. - Hey.
Have a seat, let's eat.
It looks delicious.
Grilled deodeok.
Now.
- Thank you for the food. - No problem.
- Thank you. - Eat up.
- Hello, nice to meet you. - Come in.
I'm the daughter of Lee Sang Hyun, Lee Seon Hui.
You're so pretty.
I guess you look after your mom.
Says who?
Everyone's been saying that we're identical.
Your crooked mouth should at least tell the truth.
You look like a squashed cucumber.
But your daughter looks like a gorgeous beauty.
- How pretty. - Welcome home.
Mr. Lee always said he misses you whenever he got drunk.
Your wish is granted now.
Have a seat.
I'll prepare the meal.
How did you find her?
She was employed at Dae Sik's cafe.
Nam Jin recognized her straightaway.
My gosh.
I guess Nam Jin and you are meant to be.
Angel, I found her.
Found who?
My daughter. I found her.
It's all because of you.
Nam Jin is the one who found your daughter, not her.
Welcome home.
Is your name Seon Hui?
You remember it.
Say hello. She's our Managing Director.
Hello, I'm Lee Seon Hui.
I heard a lot about you from your dad.
You're so pretty.
Dinner is ready.
Yes.
Let's go.
Apparently, her step-father drinks all the time,
breaks the house apart and argues with her mom.
That's why she came to Seoul alone.
What kind of human being is he?
Where do you live now?
In a small room.
I'm going to rent a bigger room after I save up.
It'd be difficult to pay for school and a room while doing part time.
I have to do it even though it's difficult since it's my life.
What are you studying?
My dream is to become a nurse.
I'm going to a nurse academy, preparing for practical exams now.
You must be going through a lot.
Seon Hui, just wait a few months.
I paid back my loans so when I save enough,
let's live together in a bigger room.
You're so young yet you went through a lot.
Our company gives out scholarship for the children of our employees.
I'll make sure you receive it for your academy and further studies.
Really?
Thank you so much for that.
What's up with her?
I've never seen her worry about someone else before.
I understand her because I've had my difficult times too.
Did you have difficult times too?
I thought you were well off since...
the moment you were born.
Everybody has their own stories.
Enjoy your dinner.
Why would you send her away?
Spend a night here with your dad.
We can also make dumplings tomorrow...
and play a game of yut.
Can we do that?
Gosh.
Do you still not know Nam Jin and Ms. Yang well enough?
Everything is fine as long as Ms. Choi allows it in this house.
I'll allow it.
That's great.
Now, make it pretty.
Seung Joo is great at making dumplings.
You're truly an expert.
See? I told you so.
You'll have a beautiful daughter if you make pretty dumplings.
Let's have five daughters.
What are you saying in front of the elders?
What did I do wrong?
Aren't you two being too explicit nowadays?
We have to make at least 300 so hurry up.
Why do we need 300 dumplings?
I want to share them with the volunteers who deliver lunch.
Are you playing around?
You're only using one hand.
Is that a dumpling or a steamed bun?
I told you I wouldn't do it.
The whole family should get together before the holidays,
making dumplings and slicing rice cakes...
while having a chat, and spend some time together.
It's hard for families to get together if not for the holidays.
You're right.
Angel. Take a break. I'll make them all.
I can make pretty dumplings.
Look at Seon Hui. You'll be able to tell right away.
Seon Hui is great at making dumplings too.
You'll have a pretty daughter in the future.
Right?
Gosh.
Aren't Si Woo and Jin Ah coming?
They will when it's time.
Try harder please.
How are you going to teach Jin Ah like that?
She's ambitious with her education and career,
but I bet she can't cook too.
Mind your own business.
I'll handle my own business.
(Lawyer Heo)
- Yes, Mr. Heo. - Don't be surprised.
I checked the records from the children's home.
It's true. Managing Director Choi is Choi Geum Soon.
(It's My Life)
It's not me.
Why is Bang Cheol Sang pretending that he's not your acquaintance?
Don't be nervous and whatever she says...
don't take it to heart.
Everything is over once you become the successor of Hyunkang Group.
This is Jang Hee Cheol. Ms. Choi is being weird.
- Weird? - She's not picking up her phone.
