(It's My Life)
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.
Mind your own business.
I'll handle my own business.
(Lawyer Heo)
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Don't be surprised, Nam Jin.
I checked the records from the children's home.
It's true. Ms. Choi is Choi Geum Soon.
Of course, just because we know they're the same person,
we aren't sure if Ms. Choi is behind your kidnapping.
I agree with you.
I don't want to believe it.
I'll go home with Bang Cheol Sang.
Right now?
What are you planning to do?
Since we don't have evidence, we'll need to make her confess.
I was known to be pretty good at my job as a prosecutor.
What is it? Do you have something to say to me?
No, it's nothing.
Mom, Mr. Heo is coming home.
He is?
That's great. It's the holiday so he should have some tteokguk.
Mr. Bang is coming with him.
He is?
Gosh, why would he bring him?
Si Woo and Jin Ah will be here soon.
My mom is lucky...
to have a designer daughter-in-law that makes her a scarf.
What if she doesn't like it?
That can't be possible. It's made by our top designer.
Let's go. We'll be late.
It's like a dream to be going home with you for the holiday.
I feel the same.
You have to treat me out if you get a lot of money for bowing.
I'll treat you out even if I don't get any money.
What will you treat me out to?
- Let's go. - I want something delicious.
Bye.
I packed some dumplings and other food.
Take it and enjoy it.
This is some pocket money.
Thank you, Ms. Yang.
Here you go.
Buy yourself a nice coat.
You're the age to dress up.
Why would you give a young girl so much money?
It's okay, my angel.
I wanted to.
It was winter when I first came to Seoul.
I wanted to have a coat like the ones girls in Seoul wore.
Thank you.
Bye, Seon Hui. See you again.
Tell me if you need any help.
I'll take care of everything.
I'll go grab her a cab.
Come on.
- Bye. - Let's go.
- Bye. - Bye.
This is something worth seeing.
You're mean to everyone else,
but you're so nice to Mr. Lee's daughter.
It's because I feel bad for her.
Nam Jin, can I talk to you for a minute?
Of course.
The door was open.
- Hi. - Hi.
This isn't the neighborhood cafe.
Why are you here again?
I didn't know we were coming here.
Who do you think you are to be so rude?
I brought him...
because I had something to check.
Did Nam Jin go somewhere?
He went upstairs with Seung Joo. Should I tell him to come down?
Yes, and can we have some tea?
Okay.
Holidays are supposed to be spent with family.
Don't you think it's rude to visit uninvited?
Rude?
Mr. Heo was like family to the late chairman. Of course he should come.
Ms. Heo is here as well.
I came to check a few things with the whole family,
so please understand.
I'll let you talk.
You have to be here, Ms. Choi.
- Me? - Yes.
It involves you.
It's so cold.
Something is going on, isn't it?
What do you mean you don't want to believe it?
What do you mean? Nothing is going on.
You can't fool me.
I can tell by the look on your face.
It's nothing.
I just thought for a moment that I was happiest...
when I lived in Oepo without knowing anything.
What? I'm disappointed.
Disappointed?
You wouldn't have met me if you lived there.
I'm sure we would've met sooner or later.
People that are destined to meet cross paths somehow.
How would we meet when I don't even know where Oepo is?
You could've visited the beach...
of Oepo by chance one day.
Then I might've seen you and fallen in love with you at first sight.
Gosh.
Why did you suddenly have such a thought?
Are you really not going to tell me?
I can see it in your eyes.
It's as if they're saying you're so confused and want me to help.
There was a person...
that wanted me to disappear from this world.
What?
Who was it?
- Yes? - Nam Jin.
Mr. Heo wants to see you downstairs.
Okay.
Have a seat.
Ever since Mr. Bang was employed as our security guard,
I realized that he thought of Ms. Choi...
as his old friend from hometown, Choi Geum Soon.
So I looked into this secretly.
It turns out that Ms. Choi's original name...
is Choi Geum Soon.
What are you talking about?
Your hometown is Hongcheon.
You went to a children's home in Hongcheon to avoid your father...
who was an alcoholic and abused you when you were 14 years old.
At the age of 17, you changed your name to "Choi Soo Hee".
At the age of 18, you moved to Seoul and registered...
as an independent household and changed your social security number.
Did you dig into my past?
Who are you to do that?
Who gave you the rights to do so?
I apologize but this is closely related to...
the past disappearance of Nam Jin.
How does my personal detail...
have any relations with the past disappearance of Nam Jin?
Mr. Bang, you mentioned that...
you abducted Nam Jin because he reminded you of your dead son.
But recently,
you said you found him in front of a church in Hannam-dong.
I only said that I abducted him to live in this house.
But it's true that I found him in front of a church in Hannam-dong.
- Around what time was that? - What?
It was around 1am...
No, wait. It was around 2am.
That's strange.
According to the nurse who was on duty that day,
she was sure that the kid was there until 3am.
This is a copy of this incident's report.
How am I supposed to remember...
what happened 30 years ago?
I guess I got confused with the time.
All right, let's just say you were confused with the time.
Then why were you in Hannam-dong at that hour?
Well, I was just there.
I was just passing by coincidentally.
According to Ms. Yang, that night at 7pm,
you headed out for a drink with your neighbor.
How would you end up in Hannam-dong coincidentally?
I'm not convinced.
And this was near...
the place where Nam Jin was born, Hope OB-GYN Clinic in Hannam-dong.
Do you still feel nervous whenever you see my mother?
A little.
To be honest, I'm very nervous.
Oh, no, we'd be living in the same house after we get married.
What if your nervousness breaks all the cups and glasses?
I'm sure it'll get better with time.
Don't be nervous. Just eat well and smile a lot...
like when you're with me.
Whatever she says, don't take it to heart.
I'm always beside you.
Okay.
Let's go in.
What does Bang Cheol Sang...
picking up Nam Jin in front of a church...
have to do with my original name being...
Choi Geum Soon?
Mr. Bang was instigated by someone...
to abduct Nam Jin from Hope OB-GYN Clinic.
He received money in return.
And the person who instigated him to abduct Nam Jin is...
Choi Geum Soon.
No, Choi Soo Hee, to be exact.
This is my deduction.
What are you on about?
Si Woo.
What evidence do you have for this nonsense of yours?
My mother instigated the abduction of Nam Jin?
Does that even make sense?
Do you have any evidence?
If you want to blame me for this nonsense,
you should have evidence for it.
50,000 dollars was sent to Mr. Bang's account yesterday,
and the money was sent by Ms. Choi.
I know you're a director,
but do you have rights to look into other's bank accounts?
Doesn't this go against Personal Information Protection Act?
I was able to check since it was the company's salary account.
We're from the same hometown so I lent him some business funds.
Is that a problem?
I suspected that you sent the money...
in order to make him keep quiet about the incident 30 years ago.
That's why I asked.
Look at this fellow.
You're ruining our holiday with your rubbish doubts.
She lent me the money for business funds.
How could you suspect my mom...
with your doubts and deduction?
I'm not going to let this slide.
I'm going to sue you for this.
Unfortunately, since the incident is from 30 years ago,
all I have is the confessions of the staff from the hospital.
I don't have further evidence for this.
You can go ahead and sue me.
I'm prepared for it.
But...
Ms. Choi's behavior...
is what assured my doubts.
Why did you pretend not to know someone...
who you are close enough to lend 50,000 dollars?
To be honest,
the ones who will benefit from getting rid of Nam Jin is...
Ms. Choi and Si Woo.
You've got plenty of motives.
Ms. Choi is an acquaintance of Mr. Bang who abducted Nam Jin.
Wouldn't anyone grow suspicious of this situation?
You're right. I disliked Nam Jin.
I wished that someone would take him away...
I wished someone would get rid of him completely for me.
The son of Kim So Young.
It was beyond terrible.
But...
it was not me.
Why did you deny that Mr. Bang and you knew each other?
Because I erased my past.
My alcoholic father who abused my family and...
broke down the house every day.
I was sick and tired of it.
I'd rather die...
than letting other people know about it.
What do you know about me?
You don't know what I went through.
What thoughts I had until today.
What do you know about me?
You can't do this to me.
That's why she was like that.
She was nice to Seon Hui because she reminded Ms Choi...
of her past self.
Lawyer Heo.
I don't think it's important to find out...
who abducted me now.
My grandparents who passed away and my parents who gave birth to me.
I'm already happy with the fact that...
they loved me with all their heart.
I want to do my best to live up to their expectations.
How is this possible?
My son.
You're the reason I was able to survive to this day.
Thank you for never causing me any grief...
and growing up to be a good person.
I won't let him get away with this.
How dare he accuse you of being a kidnapper!
I won't forgive him.
I'll tell my friend who is a lawyer to sue him.
Don't do that.
It'll all be over if you become the successor.
After that, we can kick Mr. Heo out...
and those who used to be on Chairman Ahn's side.
You need to regain your reputation.
This is all to throw you off track.
They're trying to confuse you right before the third contest.
So if you want to sue him,
become the successor of Hyunkang...
and do it then.
Okay, Mom.
Jin Ah.
I hated you because you reminded me of when I was young.
I wanted a girl...
that's bright and laid back next to you...
instead of Jin Ah who is dark and gloomy.
We'll try harder.
We'll make sure...
you aren't stressed or lonely.
Oh, right.
Jin Ah made a scarf...
to give you.
She bought the material herself and it's stylish.
I think it'll look good on you.
Thank you.
You can leave.
I need to get some rest.
Okay, Mom.
Don't underestimate me.
I'm Choi Soo Hee.
No matter how hard you try, Mr. Heo,
you won't be able to knock me over.
Honestly, aren't you suspicious...
of Ms. Choi?
I think it was Ms. Choi who had Mr. Bang kidnap you.
Why aren't you saying anything?
You're making Mr. Heo and me feel like the bad people.
It's different for Mr. Heo.
He knew my mom and dad that died in grief.
He also stayed by my grandpa's side for 30 years.
He was just being loyal.
Then I'm the only bad person.
- Do you know what? - What?
My life was so peaceful that it was boring,
but one day, a tornado hit it.
I wasn't able to keep my eyes open in the wind...
and I was lost.
However, I was able to stand up to it because of you.
The tornado will pass soon.
So don't worry about anything.
Here you go.
What is this, Father?
It's pocket money.
Wow, it's the most I've ever received...
ever since I was a child.
You're so lucky, Yeon Ji.
What about me, Dad?
Look, you own a cafe.
Why are you asking for money?
You make enough.
That's right.
Why don't you give your parents some pocket money?
Do you need money, Dad?
- How much? - Never mind.
I don't need money, but I want noodles.
Noodles? Janchi guksu?
- Should I make some? - No, it's okay.
She's just saying that.
She loves noodles.
- Honey. - Yes?
Shouldn't we buy Yeon Ji clothes for the new year?
Clothes for the new year?
Yes, that's right.
You're not only pretty,
- but also very thoughtful. - Gosh.
It looks like you love your wife very much.
I'm so jealous.
Haven't you heard you should see...
what the father of the man you're going to marry is like?
They watch their father from their childhood...
and take after them.
That's right.
Dae Sik has a father that loves his mother dearly...
and is resourceful.
Wouldn't you say he's the best husband material?
Of course, you're right.
I think he takes after his father.
He's very sweet and considerate.
That's my son.
- Dad. - We're here.
- Come on in. - Come in.
My daughter is so beautiful.
How will I be able to marry her off?
I'm in no rush.
I'm pretty because I take after you.
Let's bow first, Seung Joo.
Have a seat.
No, no.
- Let's eat first. - What?
The tteok ramyeon will get soggy.
- Tteok ramyeon? - Tteok ramyeon?
She seasoned it with soy sauce, so the soup is sour...
and it's a mess.
I can't tell if it's tteokguk or porridge.
I'm sorry, Seung Joo. I'm sorry, Nam Jin.
I'll learn how to cook and make delicious tteokguk next year.
Please put up with it this year.
- I love tteok ramyeon. - What are you talking about?
We bought jeon and vegetables at the store.
You'll get more than ramyeon, so don't find fault with us.
Okay.
- Let's have a seat. - Okay.
What's this?
Man Seok, it's Seon Gyu.
I'm too ashamed to see you, so I'm leaving the apples here.
Happy New Year!
Who is it? Is it Seon Gyu?
Yes.
Did he just leave this and go?
He should've joined us for a meal.
Are you going to wait until the tteok ramyeon is soggy?
No, I'm on it.
Dad, don't you dare fall for a box of apples...
and forgive him again. Okay?
Of course. He has a long way to go before he matures.
Don't underestimate me.
It can't be, could it?
Of course not.
My angel would not have done that.
I don't agree with you.
Ms. Choi is capable of such a thing.
I told you she isn't.
Why are you yelling?
Then would Mr. Heo have said something for no reason?
I'm just saying it wasn't her.
You'd want to believe that,
but my brother and I have seen her for a long time.
She was very cruel to Ms. Kim So Young who passed away.
What did she do?
She called Mr. Ahn out in the middle of the night...
and when he didn't answer her calls,
she'd call his wife's phone and ask to speak to him.
I don't believe it.
Nam Jin's mom must have been so stressed out.
Mr. Ahn would rush out...
regardless of the time of day...
and his wife was always in tears.
Right before she passed away,
she suffered from a neurosis.
My angel is a warm person.
You saw how she treated Seon Hui.
She was sincere.
How can someone like her do something bad like that?
Let's not talk about it anymore. I don't want to hear any of it.
It's noisy.
If you're going to go crazy over love, go crazy nicely.
You're crazy over love at that age. There's no need for medicine.
Your phone is ringing.
- Yes? - Mr. Lee?
This is Jang Hee Cheol. Ms. Choi is being weird.
Weird?
I called her for some tea but she's not picking up her phone.
I'll try...
going to her now then.
Please call me straightaway if something is wrong with her.
Yes, okay.
You were right, Ms. Yang.
He's crazy over love at that age. There's really no need for medicine.
Do you think I don't know him well enough?
Angel, this is Lee Sang Hyun.
Can I come in?
Leave me alone. Leave.
Don't come in.
Angel, what's wrong?
The dead chairman was here.
He stroked my face with his cold hand...
and mocked me.
He said he would never forgive me.
Angel, please.
(It's My Life)
I'm okay.
You're pretending to be okay again.
I know what I'm supposed to do now.
Did you want to see me?
I'm planning to...
- sue Lawyer Heo. - Sue?
What do you mean our products are already in market?
- Where is it sourced from? - It says it's China.
We're in big trouble.
