You asked me...
why I didn't appear in front of Woo Joo for the last 10 years.
It's because...
I couldn't.
What do you mean?
For the last 10 years,
I was...
in prison...
Are you okay?

Mr. Kang Ji Min?
You made the report on the scene, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
How are you acquainted with Mr. Yoon Sang Kyu?
I'm just an eyewitness.
But your cell phone number...
(Call History)
is found in Mr. Yoon's call history.
What?
Why is my number there?
I need to report something about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
- Could it have been him? - What?
I was on my way to meet an informant.
I'm a reporter.
Could you tell me what he wanted to report?
I'm not sure what exactly it was.
He wanted to talk face to face.
Then by any chance, did you see anyone suspicious...
before the victim fell?
No, I didn't.
This happened as soon as I arrived.
Who was that woman you were with in front of the operating room?
She was there with me.
How did he fall down?
Did someone push him on purpose?
We're still under investigation.
(Younghan University Hospital)
He was the informant?
(Hyung Kook)
Hey, Hyung Kook.
What?
- Hey, you're here. - Hey, Hyung Kook. What is it?
It's an emergency.
Nobody knew we'd see the first Korean winner...
of the Andersen Literature Award.
There's the interview you did with this writer, right?
There is.
All right, everyone. We're preparing a special feature...
by tomorrow morning.
Everyone, to the meeting room.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
(Patients Under Operation)
(Patient Name: Yoon Sang K., in operation)
- Keep an eye on him. - Yes, sir.
You may go.
Are you his guardian?
Yes.
How's the patient?
We did our best, but...
he passed away.
(Operating Room)
Writer Jung Yeong Gyeong said,
"I am very excited and happy this book brought such good news..."
"just like the flower language of morning glories."
Okay.
Let's go with this.
Great work, everyone.
- Great work. - Great job.
Let's go eat breakfast!
Can we eat something delicious?
Yes, let's do that.
We work to put food in our mouths. What do you want?
There's a new place out front.
Ji Min, Woo Joo went to school.
I'll let her eat dinner at Mom's place,
so don't worry about her.
Thanks. I'll pick her up later.
Next story.
Last night at around 10pm, a man named Yoon in his 50s...
fell from the rooftop of a building in Songcheon-dong,
was sent to the hospital, but passed away in the end.
"Suicide"?
The police closed the case as suicide out of depression...
because they could not find...
any signs of murder.
This is ridiculous.
He fell from the rooftop of a building in Songcheon-dong,
was sent to the hospital, but passed away in the end.
Yoon had a son who's lying unconscious,
whom he had been looking after for a long time.
His acquaintances stated that he fell into depression...
when his son's condition began to worsen,
and he also has been settling his affairs.
What happened?
What about the voice recorder and the documents?
There's no way he committed suicide.
Mr. Yoon isn't a man who would do that.
There's no sign of murder, and no one held a grudge against him.
We can't conduct an investigation purely on suspicion.
Please look at this.
We were going to meet.
And how... How can he kill himself after saying this?
People who decide to commit suicide...
sometimes call their family and friends on purpose,
to ask them to take care of their last moment.
He has a son who's sick,
and he had been living for his son all his life.
Why would a guy like him commit suicide?
I understand how heartbroken you are,
but he sent a text to the director of the nursing home,
asking her to take care of his son.
We also think this is a tragedy.
(Seoul Chongbuk Police Station)
What's your relationship with Mr. Yoon Sang Kyu?
Why did he ask me to help you?
What do you mean?
He said he had something to tell me.
And he asked me to take care of you.
Tell you about what?
He said he had something to tell me about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
Do you have any idea what it was about?
Give me some time.
Then I will reveal the truth...
and tell you everything.
(D.O Cosmetics)
I have a favor to ask of you.
What is it?
I was hoping Kim Yeon Jun would hold...
his fan signing event at the store in Donam-dong.
Why?
That's where my ex-husband's sister works.
The sales figures are pretty good.
And more importantly, I need to win her over to my side...
to get along with Woo Joo.
If you want to get close to her,
I don't think that's going to be easy.
You saw them together the other day.
I don't know if it's because of the blood relationship,
but they seemed quite close.
Please don't worry.
Woo Joo will eventually come to me.
Let's say she will. But what about your ex-husband?
Those two...
already broke up.
Fine.
If that's what you want, I can do it for you.
Thank you.
I'd like to tell him about the signing event myself.
Sure.
All right then.
By the way, Chairwoman Kim,
why do you hate her so much?
Mr. Smith.
When you hear this message,
Kim Yeon Jun requested...
to send over the background information.
The woman he wanted to find.
Welcome.
I'm here to meet with Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
- I'm Ji Eun Su. - A moment, please.
He was going to meet me to tip me off,
but he suddenly committed suicide?
(Weekly meeting report)
It's you, right?
You did it to Mr. Yoon.
What makes you say that?
You just remove any obstacles on your way like that every time.
I'm not a murderer like you.
You even tried to kill your own granddaughter.
Who said I tried to kill your daughter?
Is there anyone who can prove that?
Is that why you killed him?
He said he had a tip-off to make about you.
Did it scare you?
What is it that Mr. Yoon had?
So he did have something.
What is it?
What is the thing you're trying to hide...
by ruining someone else's life?
Does that make you feel less guilty?
Come to think of it, misfortune follows you everywhere.
My son died because of you.
And your father died because of you.
So did Mr. Yoon.
If you didn't find Mr. Yoon, he wouldn't have died.
You brought it all on yourself.
The whole thing happened because you are unfortunate.
Even Mr. Yoon.
You made him die.
So who's up next?
I wonder who will be the next one to suffer from your misfortune.
Do you think your daughter will be safe?
Shut your mouth.
It's not too late to give my granddaughter back to me.
Ever since I saw her,
I couldn't help but think of her.
What was her name?
It's Woo Joo, isn't it?
I told you...
to keep your mouth shut!
I'm warning you.
The kid...
has nothing to do with you.
If you...
ever mess with her again, I'll...
kill both...
you and myself.
What is it?
What is it that Mr. Yoon had?
(Hana Distribution)
Hello.
Are you the owner of the car with the number 9276?
This is Reporter Kang Ji Min from Channel A.
May I check your dashcam footage?
All you can get from this is circumstantial evidence.
Hang on.
Look. After Yoon Sang Kyu fell off the building...
Look. Right here.
Was the motion sensor light on?
Maybe there was someone else.
It was 10:11pm.
You should check the people who left the building after that.
Okay.
How is your practice coming along?
It's not bad.
Well...
About the woman you found.
What about her?
Do you keep seeing her?
No. I don't see her anymore.
Why not?
You were so desperate to see her.
That's true.
But she's happily married now.
So I can't be with her.
Is she married?
Yes.
Why do you ask?
Actually, I was worried about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
So it bothered me...
that you were involved with her.
Don't worry.
We just decided to support each other and move on with our lives.
You met...
Chairwoman Kim?
Actually, yes.
I had to talk to her about your signing event.
My signing event?
Will there be reporters too?
Of course.
I liked the reporter I met before. Was it Kang Ji Min?
- Who? - I liked the interview content too.
What do you think? I want to invite him to the event.
What's wrong? You didn't like the reporter?
It's not that. I will talk to him though.
But I don't think he'll come.
What do you mean?
Actually,
he's my ex-husband.
Your ex-husband?
He wouldn't want to be involved with his ex-wife.
Besides, we've had an argument the other day.
May I ask you what it was about?
We just had a fight.
Why?
Because of a woman he was seeing.
You two are divorced.
And yet, you're interfering in his relationships?
That's not like you.
It's not, is it?
But if that woman...
is using him to get what she wants,
I should interfere in it.
To get what she wants?
- My sweet Woo Joo. - Woo Joo, I made something for you.
- Here. - My goodness.
Your grandma made sweet potato snack for you.
- Have some. - Yes.
How is it?
It's good.
Oh, thank goodness you like it.
But you know what? I made a lot of it.
- I see. - So...
is there anyone you want to share it with?
That's right. I have an idea. Your art teacher.
How about bringing her the snack?
- That is a wonderful idea. - Yes, isn't it?
What do you think, Woo Joo?
But she isn't home.
- She isn't? - No?
Have you been there?
Yes.
- Why did you visit her? - Yes, why?
I wanted to give her this.
What is this? A hand cream? My goodness.
And I wanted to see her.
My goodness. I want to see her as well.
Well, me too.
Me too.
Would you like to see her pictures?
- Gosh, of course. - That'd be great. Let's see them.
- This is from the camping trip. - All right.
This was taken at the art competition.
And it was taken at her house.
At her house?
Where does she live?
It's not far from here.
It's the rooftop house of the villa next to the cleaner's house.
Right there?
- My goodness. - Then shall we call her now?
That's a good idea.
You could call her. How about having dinner with her?
I can't. Dad told me not to call her.
- What? - Why not?
I don't know why.
He said she's not going to come anymore.
- What? - My goodness.
What was that all about?
My goodness.
I need to report something about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
I believe you can help Ji Eun Su.
- Ji Min. - Yes.
- I looked into it. - You did?
That man, Yoon Sang Kyu.
He worked for Chairwoman Kim as her secretary.
- He was her secretary? - Yes.
But Ji Min.
Would it be okay to dig up things on D.O Cosmetics?
They didn't even like us digging up things on Kim Hyang Gi.
(The 1st Environment Care Children Art Contest)
What's wrong, Ms. Ji?
Eun Su? Eun Su.
- Ms. Ji. - Wake up.

- Detective Kwon. - Yes.
What about the murder case of Kim Ho Ran's son?
Actually, I just got the information.
Then send me the information about the suspect as soon as possible.
Okay.
(Detective Kwon)
My goodness.
(Rest in peace)
He said he wanted to report something to me.
And he asked me to help you.
What were you...
going to do to help me with?
How did you end up like this?

(kill my husband. I want to reveal the truth in the court of appeals.)
(Sender: Ji Eun Su)
You're here.
Why are you here?
I'm sorry. I waited for long, but you didn't come.
So I let myself in without your permission.
Forgive me.
Are you okay?
Sure. I'm fine.
Eun Su.
I know everything.
About what?
The real reason why you want to live with Kang Ji Min.
I know it's because of the child.
How did you know that?
I know more than that.
Including the last 10 years of your life.
I know everything about you.
I never asked you anything...
because you'll have to recall it when I ask you a question,
then it'll hurt you.
But now that I found out what you tried to do,
I couldn't stay silent anymore.
Yes.
I know...
how crazy I am to be doing this.
But I want to protect my child too.
Then do that, Eun Su.
No matter how crazy it is or whatever,
do whatever it takes to get what you want.
I'll help you.
Yeon Jun.
I'm on your side.
Why do you do this much for me?
Aren't you scared of me?
People told you that I killed my husband.
No, the Ji Eun Su I know...
isn't someone who would do that.
And if by any chance you did that,
nothing will change.
You're like that to me.

I'm so sick of you.
You're still obsessing over this case?
My goodness.
Hyung Kook.
If this woman was...
trying to protect herself from domestic violence,
how much would the sentence have been?
If things went well, she could've been released on probation.
Why? Are you suspicious of domestic violence?
Come on. Don't you remember?
You went to the prison...
time and time again to meet this woman.
But she refused to see you every time you made a request.
She did.
If she had nothing to hide,
why wouldn't she have met you?
Think about it. She could've been released on probation...
instead of serving for a decade.
Isn't that so?
Above all, there wasn't any evidence or witnesses...
of domestic violence.
She made up a lie. Goodness.
A lie?
I had a traumatic experience.
My ex-husband...
used to beat me.
Hello?
Se Mi is asking for all of her personal information.
Do not give her anything.
I was surprised to hear from you so suddenly.
Se Mi told me...
that you're her ex-husband.
And that Eun Su's daughter was adopted by you.
What are you trying to say?
I'm trying to say...
that she didn't do that to deceive you intentionally.
You've been with her long enough to know what she's like.
This is odd.
I had a feeling that you liked Ms. Ji.
Why do you suddenly give us your support?
You're right.
I like Eun Su.
To be honest, I want to leave with her to the US.
But...
I know I'm not the one...
she wants.
Take this.
What is this?
Eun Su doesn't know.
I decided to do this on my own.
I found it in her room.
You can take a look and make a decision yourself.
My gosh.
- I'm home. - Hey. Welcome home. Sit.
Where's Woo Joo?
Your mom and Ji Kyung took her to the public bath.
Anyway, Woo Joo was...
oddly low in her energy all day long,
looking sort of depressed.
- Really? - Yes.
Right, and...
I heard Woo Joo's tutor...
adores her very much.
Yes.
Then why did she quit?
Woo Joo said that she quit.
Did you not like something about her?
- Dad. - Yes?
Later, much later, I'll tell you everything.
Okay, sure. I understand.
Hey, Ji Min.
- They must be home. - Are you here?
Goodness.
- You're here. - Yes.
Let's eat some apples.
- Okay. How refreshing. - Come here, Woo Joo.
Woo Joo, what did you do at Grandma's place?
I just sat there.
Did you not have fun?
I did.
Then why do you sound so down?
Dad.
Yes?
Will my teacher really not come back?
I told you that she got another job.
If she just got another job, I can still contact her, right?
Does she not want me to call her?
Woo Joo.
You're still too young to understand,
but everyone has their reasons,
and something came up for your teacher.
So?
Is that why you threw away everything we did in our lessons?
No, that's...
They broke up?
No, he didn't actually say that.
But it didn't feel all that right.
Then you should've pressed him until he told you the truth.
He said he'll tell us when the right time comes.
Anyway, don't ask him for more information.
He looked very bright until just two days ago.
I feel bad for him.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I'm trying to say...
that she didn't do that to deceive you intentionally.
I found it in her room.
You can take a look...
and make a decision yourself.
- Hello, Detective Kwon. - Mr. Kang.
About the case you asked me about the other day.
I went through the case file again.
- You should listen to this. - Okay.
(Detective Kwon)
This is the police station.
I killed a man.
Please come right away.
This is the police station.
I killed a man.
Detective Kwon, do you have the original file of this?
There's something I need to check out.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Woo Joo, I'll be out for a while.
Woo Joo?
Woo Joo.
Who is it?
Well... Are you Woo Joo's art teacher?
I guess she's not well off.
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
It's late, and I just showed up unannounced.
It's okay.
So...
I don't want to beat around the bush.
Let's just cut to the chase.
I'm here to see the woman...
Ji Min is dating.
Is there anything wrong?
Woo Joo said you're not coming anymore.
And she said it was her dad's decision.
I know what my son is like, so I don't expect him...
to tell me what happened.
So I'm here to talk to you.
I thought you also had...
some feelings for Ji Min.
I bet that's why you visited each other...
and went on outings together.
He is more than good enough for me.
I knew it.
I'm not saying this because he's my son.
Seriously, he's a decent man.
Once he falls for someone,
he just gives her everything he has.
Then...
is this about Woo Joo?
Do you not like him because he has a kid?
You know what? I'm not saying this because she's my granddaughter.
Woo Joo is a little girl,
but she's really nice and thoughtful.
She will never act up...
or be mean to her stepmother.
She's nothing like that.
It's not like that.
Then what is it?
Gosh, this isn't a good time.
(My Archenemy from Past Life)
Excuse me.
Hey, I'll call you back later.
What?
What about Woo Joo?
Woo Joo. Woo Joo.
Where's Woo Joo? Woo Joo.
Woo Joo. Woo Joo!
Gosh, my dear baby!
My goodness. What happened?
Doctor. What's wrong?
She has asthma.
And she got an airway inflammation with a cold.
So she has difficulty breathing.
What?
Sweetheart, what happened to you?
My goodness.
When Ji Min got into her room,
she was lying there without breathing.
I'm fine now.
So please stop crying.
Gosh, my dear baby.
Oh, right. I forgot.
Please come on in.
What?
Well...
What...
She's...
What happened?
Well, the thing is...
Woo Joo kept talking about her,
so I went to see...
who she was.
Then I heard Woo Joo passed out.
Please come this way.
This way. Woo Joo, your art teacher is here.
Well, please.
Come here.
Here.
Woo Joo, are you all right?
Why is she being like this?
Woo Joo.
Teacher, did you not miss me at all?
That's not true.
She came running here as soon as she heard about you.
Then why did you not call me or text me?
You didn't come to see me even once.
I waited to hear from you every day.
I hate you.
I'll tell you.
Why I came back to Woo Joo after all these years.
Go ahead and say it.
I was...
in prison the whole time.
Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
Her son, Vice President Jeon Gi Bum was...
my ex-husband.
I knew about it.
And that you were convicted of murder.
Is there anything else?
Something huge that I need to know.
I had no idea...
that Woo Joo was adopted.
What do you mean?
I trusted her.
She came to me...
and told me she'd raise Woo Joo.
I believed her.
Who?
Kim Ho Ran.
And?
Tell me.
Then why did Woo Joo end up with me?
Kim Ho Ran...
tried to kill Woo Joo.
Why would she kill her own granddaughter?
She didn't want to raise Woo Joo in the first place.
She just tried to take my daughter away from me...
because I killed her son.
That's ridiculous.
There is a witness.
He couldn't bring himself to kill Woo Joo, so he lied that he did.
And he put her up for adoption.
He's Mr. Yoon.
And he committed suicide?
Mr. Yoon didn't kill himself.
He had something that was threatening Kim Ho Ran.
Please... Please trust me.
How...
How would I believe you?
You hid that you are my daughter's birth mother...
and approached me deliberately.
And now you expect me to believe what you say?
You already lied to me once. How can I be sure this isn't another lie?
That's it. I'll get going.
Ji Min.
I know...
you would think I'm shameless if I ask you to believe me.
But please, I beg you.
I don't have to be Woo Joo's mother.
Please just let me stay near her.
Or at least let me see her from time to time.
I don't want her to cry because of me.
Just let me hold her hands.
Please stop.
If what you're saying is true,
it's all the more reason for you to stay away.
I will never...
let you put her in danger ever again.
That woman, Kim Ho Ran...
tried to kill Woo Joo.
So what brings you here?
10 years ago, I adopted my daughter from this place.
I cam here to ask you for her background information.
We don't reveal adopted children's...
background information to anyone. Not even to the adoptive parents.
I already know Mr. Yoon Sang Kyu...
brought her here.
Well, I'm very sorry to say this,
but I can't give it to you without his permission.
He can't give you his permission anymore.
He passed away a few days ago.
Excuse me?
So, please.
If you know something, please tell me.
I have to know as her adoptive parent.
Actually,
Mr. Yoon recently came to see me.
He said someone might ask me for her information.
And he asked me not to say anything.
He also asked me to erase all information about her.

I'll filter out the noise.
I killed someone.
- What is it? - The wave pattern looks odd.
It's too quiet between these two patterns.
This never happens.
Even if you filter out the noise,
there should be some noise left.

(VVIP Invitation Exhibition, Kim Hyang Gi's New Work)
(VVIP Invitation Exhibition, "The Fake Face")
Our marketing team prepared a VVIP invitation exhibition.
It's an honor to have you on the show.
As you all know, this is the piece that Chairwoman Kim...
bought for 1.7 million dollars at London Christie.
It's Kim Hyang Gi's work.
The title is "The Fake Face".
As you can see, she used both brightness and darkness...
to feature different facial expressions at once.
The artist has a great insight to true human face...
that wants to turn away from the truth.
It's a masterpiece of high artistic quality.
That's why I was interested, so I decided to buy the piece.
People want to turn away from the painful reality.
That's human nature.
- Yes, it's true. - Certainly.
Have you ever turned away from the truth, Chairwoman Kim?
Do you remember me?
I'm the reporter who wanted to reveal the truth...
of your son's murder case 10 years ago.
- Her son's murder? - What's he saying?
Do you really think your daughter-in-law did it?
Step outside, please.
It's okay.
That's what the investigation team proved.
Yes, that's right.
But it's strange because she's less than 50kg.
And yet, she managed to attack a man who's much bigger than her.
Then she stabbed him hard enough to fracture his ribs?
Didn't you think it's strange?
What are you trying to say?
I was investigating other possibilities back then.
"Did the daughter-in-law really kill him?"
"If she really did it, is it possible that he abused her?"
"Then it could be self-defense."
These were the things I was wondering.
But unexpectedly,
I was sent abroad as a correspondent.
So I couldn't finish my investigation.
But guess what?
The person who sent me abroad as a correspondent...
was Chairwoman Kim. I recently found that out.
Was it a coincidence?
My goodness.
I thought you were thanking me for the chance of a lifetime.
But instead, you're attacking me with an absurd accusation.
This is what I get for helping a young man's career?
I wasn't even aware of what he was investigating at the time.
(Returned)
Do you know what these are?
These are from your daughter-in-law.
She sent me dozens of letters...
claiming that she was innocent.
But as you can see,
(Returned)
every single letter was sent back to her...
so that I won't be able to read them.
What happened?
This is the problem of the reporters in our country.
They write about anything based on groundless speculation.
So you're saying...
I somehow interfered so you two can't communicate?
Is that it?
I never said you did, Chairwoman Kim.
I was thinking maybe Yoon Sang Kyu did it.
Yes, the man who committed suicide a few days ago.
Your former secretary.
Her secretary?
He wanted to meet me right before he passed away.
Doesn't this strangely remind you of...
what happened 10 years ago?
It's almost like someone's trying to stop me.
So I've decided to find out who that is.
What do you think of that, Chairwoman Kim?
How dare he make a fool of me?

Mr. Park, did you find anything about Kim Hyang Gi?
(Lie After Lie)
I can't leave. No, I don't want to leave.
I have to protect Woo Joo.
Okay. Don't leave.
The only one who can get rid of your former daughter-in-law...
is me.
Leave her alone. This is none of your business.
Are you saying I should...
sit and watch an ex-convict getting closer to my man and child?
We should talk.
What did they say about me?
Don't they want to see me?
Should I give you a chance to leave before you embarrass yourself?
Or should I reveal your secret to everyone?
Does the child know too?
I'm just worried my granddaughter might get hurt.
