(Episode 44)
Have some tea.
You like hibiscus tea.
Hey.
I came in with Mi Rae by coincidence.
We met outside, I promise.
I saw you in a new light.
How can you be so good to Dong Hyun?
I'm so grateful towards you.
- Joon Ho. - Yes?
I want to be happy.
So do I. I want to be happy with you...
Then let's have a baby.
We talked about that. We'll wait a year.
You agreed to that.
That was when Dong Hyun was around.
Or bring him back right now.
How can I bring him back suddenly?
I can't collar him and drag him by a leash.
Then how can we be happy?
What do you mean?
You and I can live happily.
While you use Dong Hyun...
as an excuse to keep seeing your ex?
Who said I'll...
I had no other choice earlier.
How could I not visit my injured son?
You should've called me first.
It was fortunate that I was at your clinic then.
If not, you three would've met up without me.
We must get pregnant or bring Dong Hyun back right away.
- Song Joo. - Shall I go and get him?
Will you stop it?
Joon Ho. I left my family behind...
to live in Korea because I trust you.
I bet my everything on you and Dong Hyun.
Song Joo, stop pushing me.
You're suffocating me.
When you're like this...
I feel like falling out of love.
What will you do then?
Will you divorce me?
How can you think like that? It's not that.
Listen carefully.
I'm you and you are me.
Divorce is not an option.
(Five wrong attempts. Try again in 30 seconds.)
How is work at the hospital?
Why won't you speak?
Don't work too hard.
I'm off to work.
Why not finish your food?
I'm done. See you later, Mom.
Hey.
You won't say goodbye to me?
Honey.
Do you want some money?
I'm off to work.
Why did you bring that up?
Do you like ruining my reputation with what happened decades ago?
Don't you have a conscience?
I wired you the living expenses. Check your account.
Drink this then go to work. Here.
Sure. I should.
Sorry if I was too harsh last night.
No.
I overreacted last night. Sorry.
You should go jogging tomorrow.
Giving up is worse than not trying at all.
Can I really do that?
You didn't like that in case I met Mi Rae.
- Yesterday... - I'm going to trust you.
Let Dong Hyun stay with his mom as much as he wants to.
- Can I really? - Yes.
I can finally relax now.
Song Joo, thanks so much.
I'll make it up to you.
Okay, Joon Ho.
Have a nice day today.
Thanks.
- See you. - Bye.
It takes 17 minutes to reach the animal hospital.
You'd better get there in 17 minutes.
Good morning, Soo Mi.
Good morning, director.
(Love Animals Animal Hospital)
Hello, ma'am.
- Did Joon Ho arrive at 9:01am? - Yes.
- Okay. - What?
What's this chilling feeling?
Something's going on.
Wow, it has some outstanding characteristics.
I like the concept that...
you can have a salon-grade facial at home.
We corrected some existing flaws,
so I can guarantee the quality.
What is it?
Somi released something with a similar concept.
Somi?
That can't be.
Even if they did, this is our existing product.
How similar is it?
Look. The phrasing and packaging are identical.
No way. This is impossible.
This isn't a coincidence.
Does it make sense that the phrase and packaging are identical?
We changed the packaging recently.
How could they copy this too?
I think it is a copy,
but I don't know where the information leaked.
There is a way, right? They copied us.
We got the idea and started the renewal first,
but a larger company released the product first.
People will think we copied them.
No way.
We worked so hard on this.
We can't give in to something so unfair.
Hello. It's me.
Explain what this is.
We also found out today.
We were going to look into it.
What's there to look into?
The answer is obvious.
Ms. Cha, don't you have something to tell me?
Pardon?
You said you came up with the idea to improve this product.
Yes. It is my idea.
By any chance, did you copy from them?
What? I didn't copy. Seriously.
Then how will you explain this?
I thought something was strange from the start.
You didn't major in the field...
and had no work experience in it,
but when you had this idea, I knew something was odd.
I should've noticed when you talked about facial pack when...
you know nothing about marketing.
No, ma'am.
I had the idea while testing the product on my friends,
and the facial pack came from my experience making creams at home.
Can you prove that?
Then solve this problem.
Will you stop it?
How dare you defend her in this situation?
Why do you suspect just her?
I led the whole project.
I built the product based on her idea.
They released it first, but we started on it first.
They copied us.
If we can't release this ampule,
our company will go down. Do you know that?
I do. I'll sort this out so don't worry.
Ms. Cha, what are you doing? Let's go.
Thank you for believing me.
What's there to believe? It's the truth.
I will prove it. Don't you worry.
No. I'll do everything I can too.
To recover my honor.
Lady.
You're getting stronger.
Ms. Cha.
Oh, right, Ms. Cha.
We're on emergency standby now.
Let's analyze Somi's product first.
However great a job they did, there will be...
something they failed to copy.
Okay. I'll get their product and send it to the lab.
I'll go to the factory and check the production schedule.
You work with the lab and monitor their progress.
Okay.
Hey.
What's that?
This? A patient spilled juice while giving me some.
You should've been more careful. Sit over here.
- Gosh. - It's fine. I'll do it.
The patient wasn't in a bed if they offered you juice.
You're right. The patient was in a wheelchair.
The patient was Dad's age but had dementia.
She thought I was her son.
Early onset dementia is common these days.
You'll see a lot of them on our ward.
Is that why you look upset because it reminds you of Dad?
No, just because.
It's not a just because face.
Is something bothering you?
So Young. How would you feel...
if Dad had an affair?
What nonsense is that?
A long, long time ago,
if he did, how would you feel about that?
Don't be silly. That never happened.
What if it did?
Why would you even think about that?
Our dad can never have an affair.
- Why not? - He hates to waste money.
It's true. Eating out and having tea with another woman.
Since that's a waste of money, he'd never be able to do that.
Here.
Why did you bring this?
I wanted to spend time with you.
Can you use a laptop too?
I have a PC license.
I haven't used it in a while, so my memory is fading though.
You're so amazing.
Ask me if you need help. I'll help you out.
Thanks for the offer.
I can't bear to eat any of this.
Why not?
I just bought it from a store.
Maybe so,
but it's been decades since someone checked if I was eating.
- Why? - I really...
never asked once if you'd eaten.
I never thought of that.
I guess I assumed that you'd take care of yourself.
That's what kids do.
I was like that around my mom.
I shouldn't have said that.
Did Dad never ask you either?
I always cooked for him.
Why did you marry Dad?
Did you love him?
Is this about what you heard last night?
Are you disappointed at him?
A bit.
He is never affectionate, and he always yells.
You do all the hard work.
I thought that at least you'd be the only woman he cared about.
He was affectionate.
We had our good times.
He changed because life was tough.
Why did you stay with him instead of getting divorced?
How could I divorce when I have you and So Young?
I have such a sweet son.
Mom.
Thanks for staying with Dad.
If you had left,
I would have really struggled.
Me too.
I'm so thankful that I have you.
Cheese.
Smile.
Oh, dear. My silly back.
My gosh.
Why is it so hard to move just a few boxes?
Are you home?
Come to the store.
I'm not off work yet.
Why not when it's late already?
Finish up.
I can't manage this on my own.
I don't know what time I'll get off.
How can you tell me to just leave?
Our company has an emergency...
- Dae Young. - Dad, it's me.
Why are you there?
I'll go and help you so leave Mom alone.
Bye.
Why did you talk to him like that?
Don't act so flustered around Dad anymore.
If you're going to fight back, do it properly.
I'm behind you.
When did you grow up?
I got taller than you long ago.
I feel so reassured. Thanks.
- Let's eat up. - Okay.
Hey.
- Watch your back. - Okay.
I'll come over whenever you get a supply.
If you want.
In return,
leave Mom alone.
She's busy.
Did she say something?
She's so consistent when it comes to badmouthing me...
in front of the kids.
I'm not a kid,
and what Mom says isn't wrong.
My friends' sons side with their dad when they grow up.
What's wrong with you?
It must be what I saw and learned while growing up.
Or you did something wrong.
- What do you mean? - Nothing.
See you.
My goodness.
Now that he's grown up, I have to tiptoe around him too.
This is a luxury. I can clip my own nails.
Dating is when someone else does what you can do yourself.
It would be nice if we could live every day like we're dating.
Right?
Will you cheat on me later on?
What are you saying?
Answer me. Men are all the same.
Will you fall for another woman if she says she likes you?
My gosh.
Would there be another crazy lady other than you?
What?
I appreciate that you think so highly of me,
but I can't cheat because I barely got married thanks to you.
It'll never happen.
Why did you bring that up?
- Dae Young said something odd. - Your brother?
How would I feel if our dad cheated.
Do you think something happened?
No way. Your dad's not that kind of person.
Right?
But he had this strange look on his face.
Is something going on between Mom and Dad?
Now that I'm married, I'm worried about them.
It's like that.
I should visit your dad's store after work tomorrow.
I didn't want to force you.
- I'll see Mom after work then. - Okay.
- Give me your left hand. - Left hand? Okay.
What.
Your mom's not home yet?
How dare she? Look at the time.
She said she might not come home tonight.
Who does she think she is that she can stay out?
Dad.
It's a figure of speech.
It's true.
Why should a new recruit have to stay the night?
Will the company stop if she doesn't work all night?
There's a problem with a product that's designed by Mom.
You could end up staying up when you're trying to solve problems.
You worked late a lot yourself.
I worked at a large company.
Your mom doesn't.
When they hire someone like her, it's to do the odd jobs.
Why would she have to work all night?
I like it that Mom works.
I want her to feel a sense of accomplishment.
So Young's married and I can handle myself now,
so don't put pressure on Mom.
A sense of accomplishment doesn't bring food in.
A housewife should do her duties first.
Sleep well.
I organized them as you asked. Take a look.
Okay.
I think we have enough documents to pass onto the Legal Team.
Where's the component analysis report on Somi's product?
Here it is.
I added my observations to the analysis report.
Okay, well done.
You're worth 100 staff.
Not at all. I did my best,
but it's been so long.
I'm not sure if the editing or graphs are right at all.
You did great.
It's the content that counts, not the look or the graphs.
This will do.
It's already dawn.
Go home and rest.
See you after lunch.
Okay.
My goodness.
He should unplug the rice cooker if it's empty.
What difference is there by getting off work?
I come home to work again.
What time did you come home that you cooked?
Early in the morning.
You didn't sleep then?
I can go in after lunch.
I'll take a nap for a bit after breakfast.
Mom. Let's just have toast or cereal for breakfast.
What are you saying?
You aren't well. We can't eat cereal.
I don't mind. I'll do as much as I can.
Of course, you should.
It's not like you're fighting for our country.
It's nonsense if you can't cook breakfast.
Why is it nonsense?
So Young and Hyeon U take turns cooking breakfast.
So Young has a tough job, and they don't have a baby yet.
She can't do anything.
Do you know you're being too shallow?
Me? How?
You only value your daughter.
What?
Never mind. Eat up.
Mom. I'll buy bread starting tomorrow to eat for breakfast.
That's final.
Says who?
I can't eat bread.
Then eat rice cakes.
A lot of people eat that instead.
Forget it.
If cooking is that big a deal, quit.
What are you two doing, ganging up against me?
- Dad. - You.
Do you feel that sorry for your working mom?
That you don't want her to cook?
And you.
Did I force you to work?
You wanted to work, so you can't even do both?
Give me back the living expenses and quit it all.
I don't want to give you any money...
if I don't even get a meal in return.
Okay?
Him and his temper.
It just gets worse every day.
Sorry, Mom. I started it.
No, it's fine.
I'll talk it out with him.
I'm grateful that you're concerned, but you don't have to be.
I'll do as much as I can.
No. I told you to trust me. I'll sort this out.
Eat up.
Nam Mi Rae does what she puts her mind to.
I can do well if I make myself.
What a joke.
Hello? I'm Nam Mi Rae.
Really?
I got accepted?
Thank you.
Okay, bye.
Yes, this is it.
This is my life.
I knew it.
Wait, wait.
I shouldn't be doing this.
What...
What are you doing?
Master.
Master, I...
Yes. You what?
The audition.
I passed.
Thank you so much.
I didn't think I would pass.
I couldn't give in even though I wondered if it was the end.
I heard already.
Director Park had great words of praise for you.
I owe it all to you.
I did nothing but scold you.
I should thank you for following...
and trusting a younger teacher.
Remember how you feel now, and you will do fine.
If you complain of a slump or what not, I won't take you back.
Master.
Remember how you felt when you...
wiped the floor with a rag.
You must go on training yourself with that attitude.
Don't just try to shine.
Shining shouldn't be your goal, it must be your result.
Do you get it?
Yes. Thank you for...
everything you did.
How do I look? Do I look like a trainee?
Not a trainee.
You look like a celebrity.
- Do I really? - Yes.
Mom, I want to rap.
Can I decide on a position already?
For now, let's just say you'll work hard.
- Okay? - Okay.
I can do really hard if they let me.
Please sit down.
Sorry for making you wait.
You don't have to say that.
My daughter was so excited that even waiting was a pleasure.
I'm glad to hear that.
Congratulations on passing the audition.
Thank you very much.
- I'll work really, really hard. - What?
I wasn't entirely sure if my daughter...
was talented or not.
- She is talented, isn't she? - Pardon?
You said the audition was a success.
Yes, of course.
That's why I asked to see you.
Sign with our agency...
and we'll work towards your debut.
Yes, of course that's what he means.
Passing is important. Who cares about talent?
Is that so?
Just a moment now.
I think there's a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
The person who passed.
It's Ms. Oh Dal Sook, not your daughter.
What?
What are you talking about?
You have a special talent.
We want to turn you into Korea's hottest trot singer.
- What? Me? - Yes.
You're so noisy. Will you stop crying?
Does... Does this make sense?
How could you pass?
Why did you pass the audition? What about me?
What about me?
You failed just like that.
It's not the first time. Why do you act like it's a big deal?
It's different this time, isn't it?
How is it different?
Mom got through.
Why did I fail when Mom got through?
Did I fail because of Mom?
What?
Mom's genre is trot and yours a girl group.
How can different genres compete?
Either way, Mom interrupted my audition and stole my spotlight.
I'm ruined.
I'm ruined because of you, Mom.
Will you stop it already?
I can't believe what you're saying.
You should thank me for putting my reputation...
and pride aside to get on stage to help you out.
How is it my fault that you failed?
Yes, Il Lan. That was unreasonable of you.
Exactly.
I don't care. I don't care.
I'm still upset.
Then what should I do?
Mom. Don't sign.
What?
My goodness. I don't believe this.
You're all jealousy and tantrums. Are you jealous of Mom too now?
Yes, I'm jealous.
So Mom, don't sign. Don't sign the contract.
Sorry. I want to be the husband of a celebrity.
- Don't sign with them. - Why not?
Honey. Come here.
Let's go back there tomorrow and sign the contract.
Be quiet.
Stop it, all of you.
Honey.
My eyes widened with shock
My lips tremble with nervousness
They're blue like the waves
Honey. Dal Sook.
What?
I saw you in a new light.
You had not sung at all in years.
How did you pass an audition on your first go?
I guess Il Lan got her talents from you.
She'd have passed if she were like me.
All the bragging and dreaming big.
Isn't that all you?
Is it?
Yi Ran must take after me then.
She's really smart.
Do you really think so?
That's not it either? Either way,
you're so cool and amazing.
What's the point if I am now?
Aren't you pleased at all?
Why would I be pleased? I won't sign.
You can still be happy about passing.
I looked back and realized that...
at one time I had a dream just like Il Lan.
Performing and singing on stage.
I loved that so much that I lived for it.
I didn't know that was my dream...
and just got a job, got married, and went on with my life.
It's sad.
Do it if you want to now. I'll back you 100 percent.
You're saying things you can't stick to.
Why? You think I won't?
You know,
I can do anything you like.
Fine, let's say you can.
Let's not just say I can. I'm saying I can.
To show you I mean that,
you can lean on my arm.
Come over here.
No thanks.
Come on now.
Sit next to me.
I said no.
Oh Dal Sook.
Stop it.
When I pleaded that we give it a go,
you treated me like some sex maniac.
Why are you doing this now?
I'm sorry, okay?
- Come on, Dal Sook. - Don't touch me!
Sorry, honey.
I told you to stop it.
My gosh.
Has he lost his mind?
What did he do that for?
Dal Sook.
What are you doing?
Oh Dal Sook.
W... What?
What are you doing?
Honey...
- Honey. - Tonight,
I will show you...
how far I can go.
Honey.
Hey, Honey! Honey!
What are you doing?
Honey. My goodness.
My goodness. Honey.
Gosh.
Dal Sook.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Yellow roses?
Someone asked me to pass these to you.
It's your birthday. Have some seaweed soup.
No, I'm late.
Why did we both sleep in?
Put them on for me.
Are you trying to suffocate me?
Can you help me to put them on?
