(It's My Life)
Did you have another fight with Jin Ah?
No.
I dumped her.
I got tired of her, so I dumped her.
Why?
I...
wanted to take everything you coveted away from you.
Hyunkang, this house,
and Jin Ah.
You took everything from me 30 years ago!
I took everything from you?
Then why...
do I have nothing right now?
What did Si Woo take from you?
You're the one who's trying to take his position!
He's not trying to take anything from Si Woo.
You should never say anything that's not true in any situation.
Nam Jin is trying to regain what was stolen 30 years ago!
What's there to regain? Who says he can do that?
You can't have whatever Si Woo can't have.
So give up on your vain dream.
30 years ago, someone stole me from my family.
I will try to believe that you're not that person.
There's no way a parent could do such a thing.
At least,
it's not right if that person is enjoying a wealthy life.
When I see your recent designs,
I can imagine what you're thinking.
What am I thinking?
Seeing that you use warm colors, natural lines...
and emphasize femininity,
I think you're deeply in love.
You have quite a hunch.
How will my designs change in the future?
Will they be...
in dark colors just like they used to be?
I'm sure they won't...
because I'm still in love with you, Mr. Choi.
Mother, it's Choi Si Woo.
Hi, Si Woo.
To what do I owe the pleasure at such an early hour?
Well... By any chance, did Jin Ah...
go to your house?
No. Why would she come here when she's busy with work?
Right.
What's with everybody today?
Nam Jin also called me earlier.
Did something happen to Jin Ah?
No. No.
I was worried because I couldn't reach her from last night.
She'll come to work today.
Did you two have a fight by any chance?
She always ignores calls when she's sulky.
Let her win.
What's the point of fighting with a girl?
Yes. I understand. I'll do that.
Goodbye.
You...
are not a thoughtless person like this.
You should have told me first.
Where are you now?
Hey.
You're early.
I have a lot of work to do.
By the way, why are you looking troubled so early in the morning?
No matter how hard I think, I can't seem to understand.
What are you talking about?
Can I ask you just one question?
You can ask me 10 questions.
If you're pregnant...
and your future mother-in-law wants you to quit your job,
what would you do?
First, I would try to persuade...
my baby's father and my future mother-in-law.
What if it doesn't work?
I would never stop trying to persuade them.
"I'm confident that I can do well as a working mom."
"So please trust me." These are what I would say.
Having an abortion secretly and leaving him...
would be ridiculous, right?
How could you say such a horrible thing?
Who would get rid of a precious life just as she wants?
If I did that, would you let it slide?
You said you want to have five kids.
You're right.
This is unreasonable.
However, what's the matter with you at such an early hour?
Are you...
talking about Jin Ah?
Are you saying that she wasn't just absent without notice,
but she actually had an abortion and went into hiding?
I can't believe this.
Mr. Jang, you know...
how I felt when I decided to approve of her, right?
That's why I'm even more speechless.
I understand her ambition as a designer, but this isn't right.
The third round is coming soon.
How could she do this?
I'm worried about Si Woo.
Once he gives his heart to someone, he's committed to her.
I'm not sure if he can overcome this.
This is a big problem.
Yeon Ji and I won't be able to finish all the work.
Shouldn't we hire a new designer to replace her?
Wait for a while.
She might change her mind and come back.
If she does, will you have her back?
She's the girl Si Woo likes.
Come in.
Hello.
My angel, I'm back.
Can't you see it's not the right time?
It's as if you're playing exciting music at a funeral.
What do you mean by that?
Did something bad happen...
while I was gone?
- What brings you here, Mr. Lee? - Right.
Well, on my way back from my business trip in China,
I bought a gift for you.
I didn't know what color you like,
so I bought red, pink, and orange.
I bought all three colors.
Thank you.
If you don't like the color of any of them,
give it to Jin Ah, your future daughter-in-law.
She'll be so happy to receive a gift from her future mother-in-law.
Please stop talking about Jin Ah.
Gosh. You said you now approve of her.
Then why are you being like this again? Gosh.
Goodness gracious. He's so slow-witted.
I'm worried how he'll survive in this tough world.
I'm off.
I'm going to make a plan with Mr. Choi.
Oh, boy. Will Jin Ah miss work again?
What is going on with her?
Yeon Ji, do you not know anything?
Tell us if you know anything. I'm so curious.
I'm dying to know what's going on just like you.
Jin Ah quit her job.
So stop talking about her.
We can't be sure yet.
So please don't talk as if it's certain, Mr. Jang.
All right.
Since we have a tight deadline, hiring a new designer is pointless.
Mr. Jang and Yeon Ji, can you two finish the work?
We have no choice.
Jin Ah said she had almost finished her design.
She said it only needs a final touch.
That's a relief.
I'll do the finishing work. Send me her design.
But her computer is locked.
Your door passcode is too easy. Why don't you change it?
That's the day when we started dating.
I changed every password I use to the date.
Are you saying that I shouldn't forget our anniversary?
It's my lucky number.
The day when you walked into my life.
(Welcome)
Jin Ah's design files on this computer...
can be e-mailed to Mr. Jang, Yeon Ji.
Yes, sir.
We must beat the other team in the third round of the contest.
You can all do a good job, right?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Just like that password,
I hope my question can also be solved.
I really can't figure out...
what you're thinking.
As for this, I think we should...
- Hello, everyone. - Mr. Lee!
Welcome back!
- My gosh. - Oh, my.
Thank you for all of your hard work, Mr. Lee.
Thanks to you, all those factories in China stopped making copies.
Bang, bang!
I utilized all of my connections in China and did my best.
How's everything going here?
We've been making shopping malls stop selling...
copies of our designs based on tips from our customers.
We're launching our new design tomorrow, and it's now a fair game.
What are you talking about?
As soon as the ad with Han Mi Ra is out, the tables will be turned.
Of course. Also, our head designer, Ms. Han,
being in the ad will make consumers trust our brand even more,
so it'll be game over.
Oh, you.
I've spoken to Minhan about sewing our label on the lining,
so we no longer have to worry about knockoffs.
That's a good solution.
It differentiates our authentic designs...
from knockoffs without altering the actual designs.
It's great.
I stayed up all night...
and caught all of them.
Hey, Sun Ja! What brings you here?
Are you here to see me?
Stop spewing total nonsense.
Why would I come here to see you?
Gosh, why are you being like this?
Even you look down on me now?
That really hurts my feelings.
Stop calling my name.
It's not like I have my name so that you can call me.
What are you going to do if Nam Jin's team members see us?
Names are there to be called.
Why? Are you embarrassed by your old-fashioned name, Sun Ja?
Goodness, don't be ridiculous.
Sun Ja is much better than Geum Soon.
That is true.
By the way, what's this?
Is it for me?
It's not for you, so mind your own business.
All right, be quick.
Let's have lunch together.
Stop talking such ludicrous nonsense, will you?
What? What's ludicrous?
- Did Hope OB-GYN Clinic shut down? - Yes, sir.
And you haven't found the doctor who looked after Nam Jin back then?
It was over 30 years ago, so it's not easy to find the doctor.
Thankfully, I was able to find one of the nurses.
I'm meeting her this afternoon.
I hope it goes well.
Thank you for all of your hard work, Mr. Kim.
Come in.
My gosh. What brings you here, Ms. Yang?
Well... It's...
- You may leave, Mr. Kim. - Yes, sir.
Please have a seat.
Aren't you here because you have something to talk to me about?
Well...
Here. Mr. Heo...
I mean, I knotted this for you...
I mean, I knitted this for you.
Well, I hope you liked...
I mean, I hope you like it.
My gosh, what is wrong with my tongue?
Oh, my. I like it very much.
I love it because you knitted it.
Thank you.
If you can take off... I mean,
if you wear it, I'll be very happy.
I'll be off, then.
Well, wait. Please don't leave so quickly.
Stay for a cup of tea, please.
It's okay. I know how busy you are, so I shouldn't take up your time.
Just push it gently.
Gosh, I'm so embarrassed.
Ms. Yang, you're such a pure-hearted person.
Goodness, what now?
Come here. Have a seat.
What's the matter?
Tell me. Say everything on your mind.
Well, I'm just wondering...
Aren't you worried about Jin Ah?
I am worried about her, of course.
Then why aren't you doing anything?
We should either contact the police or try to find her ourselves.
I'm a busy man.
I have to give you the calming pills so that you can be in the print ad.
I have to visit the stores as well as Minhan.
It's because of me, right?
You're not doing anything because you're afraid I might say...
you're still not over her, right?
No, it's not that.
Then what is it?
Aren't you worried about your friend?
Jin Ah chose this, you know.
Nam Jin, do you really think...
that she got an abortion and went into hiding?
No, she's not that ruthless.
Then what is it?
If she had been able to bear the burden,
she wouldn't have disappeared overnight.
She only did it because she couldn't bear it.
I think she probably did it for Si Woo's sake.
And you won't do anything, knowing all of that?
If anyone must step in, it has to be Si Woo.
The best thing we can do now is to take a step back and watch.
I think that's the most respectful thing we can do for those two.
You impress me so much when you say these things.
Only family members can file a missing person report?
Right, there were no signs of crime.
Then how about reporting her as a runaway?
You can neither check her bank accounts nor trace her phone?
I see.
All right. I'll figure it out, then. Okay.
You can't file a missing person report?
Yes, only her family members can do it.
Shall I hire someone to look for her?
No, it's okay.
If she finds out that someone's looking for her,
she'll hide in an even more remote place.
Perhaps.
Let's give her a little more time.
She may come back when she starts to feel less emotional.
She packed up and left like that,
and I guess this is it.
To Jin Ah,
I was nothing.
Had I known this would happen,
I would've registered our marriage in advance.
You have such lovely dimples.
Your smile brightens my day.
My cute, adorable lady, Yeon Ji.
Please try not to stutter, okay?
Boss, you can't stutter when you're proposing to Yeon Ji.
I'm trying not to stutter,
but I can't help it.
There are only three sentences. Why can't you just say them?
Try again.
I'll only love you until the day I die.
Please accept my love.
- I did it. - What are you doing now?
I... I wasn't doing anything.
You weren't doing anything?
I heard it loud and clear. Denying it won't solve anything.
What do you mean I'm denying it?
My gosh, I had no idea you were this kind of person.
Do you hit on every woman you see?
Do you like her because she's younger than me?
- No, you got the wrong idea. - No, no.
- Mr. Kang was trying to... - I don't want to hear it.
Dae Sik, we're through.
Yeon Ji, you totally got the wrong idea.
Hear me out, okay?
It's a misunderstanding. Let me explain...
- Say something. - Dae Sik.
What are you saying?
By any chance, do you have feelings for Seon Hui...
Mr. Lee, you're Seon Hui's father, right?
Make sure she behaves herself properly.
I just saw that jerk hitting on your daughter.
- No, Dad. That's not what happened. - No.
Wait, Yeon Ji. Wait.
Gosh. What do I do?
What should I do now?
Dae Sik, you brat.
Do you want to get killed by me? You punk.
- Mr. Lee, you're mistaken. - You punk.
Man Seok, did you ride a horse too?
You look like a movie star.
Oh, boy. It was my only hobby.
I haven't done it since I downsized my company because of Seon Gyu.
Why would you bring that up now?
Hey, can you take me with you some time?
I want to learn horse riding.
To learn to ride a horse, you need to learn...
the joy of raising a horse and communicating with it first.
Horses don't let anybody sit on their backs.
Still, I want to give it a try.
Teach me how to ride a horse, Man Seok.
You see,
I feel like we're finally becoming a real couple.
Sorry? What does that mean?
While helping you become more mature,
communicating with you, and comforting you,
I learn how to remain patient.
It also helps me prevent myself from losing my temper.
What's that? Am I a horse or something?
How can you compare me to a horse?
There's no comparison.
Horses are loyal.
They try to understand how their owners feel...
and devote themselves to their owners.
Gosh. I am loyal too.
And I will devote myself to you.
Can't you trust me?
You cause trouble when I think I can trust you.
Right.
Ouch. It hurts.
Dad, why did you hit him without knowing what happened?
Hey. Anyone would have gotten the wrong idea.
Anyway, how should I explain to Yeon Ji?
I don't know. Yeon Ji won't even pick up my calls.
She told me not to even come home tonight.
If I go home, I'll probably get a black eye, right?
Dad, you should fix this.
Why should I do that? I didn't do anything.
Tomorrow is the D-day, so make sure...
to bring Yeon Ji here on time.
- Me? - Yes.
Okay.
Good. Just focus on your work, Si Woo.
You will forget her eventually.
Hello, Ms. Choi.
It's been a while.
I told you not to talk to me at work.
Mr. Heo...
doesn't seem to give up easily. What should we do?
What are you saying?
It seems that he's been going around to find the people...
who worked at the hospital 30 years ago.
What?
I'm sure he won't find anything.
You shouldn't let your guard down.
My younger sister's friend worked as a nurse at the hospital.
And thanks to her, I got it done safely.
You should've made sure she'll never tell.
Of course, I did.
I gave her some money too.
However, there might be someone...
who saw me meeting her.
I'm sure it's hard to recognize you since it's been 30 years.
You can't be sure.
I have such a memorable face.
When people see my face once,
they remember my face easily.
So what do you want me to do?
I have a friend who is a private detective.
I'll find her.
Give me a down payment. In cash this time.
All right.
I'll take as much money from her as I can,
and if things go wrong,
I'll leave right away.
Where are you?
Why on earth are you doing this?
You shouldn't have started it if you were going to end it like this.
Are we...
really over now?
I'm exhausted.
Seung Joo, I have a proposition for you.
A proposition? What is it?
I think you should be a fashion designer...
who is also a home shopping show host.
- A show host? - Yes.
You're a natural on stage and trustworthy.
You're also pretty and good with words.
You have the power to make people want to buy the clothes you suggest.
You're born to be a home shopping show host.
In fact, my dad said that I could sell...
fur coats and heaters in Africa.
Your father was right about that.
You're so good at winning other people's hearts.
Oh, my. That's so true.
Then have I won your heart too?
Of course. Absolutely.
You don't know how nervous I was earlier today, right?
My lips were trembling.
My palms were sweaty. Everyone was looking at me.
I couldn't think clearly...
Do you know how lovely you are when you're chattering like that?
Where... Where was I?
Ahn Nam Jin speaking.
Nam Jin, it's me.
Jin Ah.
Where are you now?
(It's My Life)
- What brings you here? - Where is Jin Ah?
- How would I know? - You know where she is.
Why are you pretending you don't know?
- Dae Sik is making a commotion. - Okay.
What's going on? Why is the light turned off?
There's a girl I like.
- Why did you want to see me? - Do you know Bang Cheol Sang?
- No, I don't. - Do you really not know him?
