(Hate to Love You)
Does that mean...
I'm a foundling?
I told you to stop saying that word, "foundling".
I think you said it this time.
(Episode 43)
Didn't you hear the door just now?
No, I didn't.
What is the matter?
You're overreacting.
It doesn't hurt to be careful.
You just can't take a hint, can you?
Sensitive girls would have...
Let's drop this.
I know that people still favor boys over girls, but you're out of line.
Did I do something wrong to you?
You see, you're... You're...
I mean you're...
You bring misfortune to our family.
Eun Jo, you need to be good to Haeng Ja.
All right, I'll be very good to her.
Of course, you should.
You need to be really good to her.
Do you know why?
You're her daughter. You won't see her often after you get married.
Was that the reason?
I'm a foundling, and I bring misfortune to the family.
That's all I am to them.
(Hong Rock)
You got home safely, right?
You had a long day today. I hope you get a good sleep.
What should I do...
(7 missed calls, Haeng Ja)
Haeng Ja.
Yes.
I ended up staying out until this late because I met my friends.
I'll be home shortly.
Bu Sik didn't come because he's busy.
Okay.
She's asleep now.
You should go to bed too.
Mom, even you have to be like this?
What did I do?
You need to be firm with In Jung.
Why did you apologize to her?
You have to be stern with her at times like this.
Why do you let her take the lead?
It's not like moms are born as moms.
I'm upset too.
I don't know what to do at times like this.
You can't say that as a mom.
As a mom?
Moms are not invincible.
Mom.
Right, I am a mom because I gave birth to you girls.
I've been busy with raising you two and putting you through school.
And I ended up here.
Just because you're older or the fact that you gave birth...
doesn't make you a good parent.
Gosh. These days, I wish someone could...
teach me how to be a good mom and a good parent.
Goodness, she's all grown up. She can find her way home.
You didn't have to wait outside like that. You're so weird.
Go on in.
Hey, did something happen?
No.
Why are you staring at my face like that?
Haeng Ja.
Why did you do that?
Do what?
After Dad passed away,
why did you decide to live with us?
I never listened to you and misbehaved myself all the time.
I was rude too. Why did you decide to stay?
I made you...
worry about me so much.
You've never wanted to run away?
No, not even once.
Why?
I was happy and grateful to have a family that welcomes me...
when I get home after a long day of work,
so I didn't care whether you were rude to me or not.
Besides, you weren't that bad.
You can sound a little mean at times, but that's all.
You always made rice and my favorite soup for me...
and waited for me even on the days that I got home late...
to open the door for me.
Except for your lavish spending and going to... What's it called? Clubs.
Except for going clubbing often,
you've always been a good daughter.
And you still are.
My gosh, why... Why are you being like this?
Gosh, what's wrong? My goodness.
Hey, it looks like you should be getting married soon.
My goodness.
It's okay.
Haeng Ja.
I'm sorry.
And thank you.
(Dia Pawnshop)
Unlocked. Door is opening.
So?
Where do you need my seal?
Right here, please.
So this paperwork is...
It's for co-ownership of the new house, right?
- That's right. - Good.
- There. We're good, right? - Yes.
So?
Do you see Eun Jo often these days?
I think her job at the beauty center has been keeping her busy.
I suddenly got bombarded with work too.
Right, Eun Jo can be quite single-minded and stubborn.
Once she sets her mind to something, she takes any means necessary.
You should take care of your fiancee.
Maybe she feels empty. She became soft-hearted.
Of course I'll do that.
- I'll get going now. - Okay.
- Be safe on your way back. - Yes.
Should I rush her wedding...
instead of putting it off?
What could that be?
(Transaction on HB Card, 570 dollars, Ladies')
My gosh. Why did Geun Sup spend so much money all of a sudden?
570 dollars?
"Ladies'"?
What could this be?
(Transaction on HB Card, 120 dollars, Scarf)
120 dollars?
Why would he spend money all of a sudden?
Here. This is for you.
What's this?
I bought 2 outfits and 1 scarf.
Share the clothes with In Jung, and give the scarf to your mom.
I should've bought these sooner.
From now on, just let me know if you need anything.
Is it okay to accept things like this?
Of course. Ms. Kim gave me a credit card so I can use it as I want.
I just have to avoid spending more than the credit limit.
If you need some allowances, don't hesitate to tell me.
Thank you for the clothes.
I'm going to meet someone. Look forward to it.
A good thing will happen. Okay?
Come in.
I'm sorry for asking you to come all the way here.
I thought my office would be better than the cafe.
Please have a seat.
Well...
Your office is smaller than I thought.
Earlier today, I met Ms. Kim...
and moved the new house under both of your names.
Gosh. A single house is not a big deal.
It'll be hard for you get anything else.
It won't be easy as talking her into registering the marriage.
Why did you ask me to meet you here?
What is it you want right now?
I need to know that so I can help you.
Does that mean you will accept my offer?
As long as it's possible.
As you know, I'm a lawyer working within the legal sector.
I'm sorry. I didn't laugh at you.
I want to own one of her buildings,
so I can do whatever I want.
That's all I want.
However, Haeng Ja seems to have no intention of letting me do so.
I'm sorry. I didn't laugh at you.
Do you know how much Ms. Kim's movable and immovable assets...
are worth?
How much are they worth?
How would I know that?
All I did was run some errands for her.
Just a building?
It's not impossible to get it if you have her registered seal.
I saw Ms. Kim keeping her seal in the safe in her pawnshop.
You ended things with Eun Jo, right?
Yes, I did,
but would Ms. Kim let her keep working for her if she finds out?
Without my help, you won't be able to get...
even a small shop, let alone a building.
- Jung Sook. Jung Sook! - Gosh. What's the matter?
I can't think clearly now. Don't add to it.
I am not here.
Do you understand? Okay?
Did you run into a debt collector or what?
Hello, Ms. Jang. It's been a while.
Hello, Director Goo Jong Hee. What brings you here?
I'm here to find my partner.
Please come out, Ms. Dong Mi Ae.
She's not here.
Is that so?
I think she's over there.
May I go and check by myself?
Mi Ae, come out. You got caught.
I rushed in to the washroom.
Let's go now.
Right? I thought you were avoiding me.
Why would I avoid you? That's nonsense.
I changed my mind because you're Lawyer Byun Bu Sik's mother.
I'm positively considering accepting you as my brother's girlfriend.
I heard that we'll learn rumba dance today. Doesn't it sound fun?
The thing is I have a back problem,
so I'm worried if my disk problem gets worse.
I heard that dancing can help with back problems.
Let's go. See you around.
Wait up.
Mi Ae met such a difficult person.
She'll go through hard times even after marrying him.
Ms. Jung, it looks like there has been a change in your personal life.
Why?
How you dress has changed.
Director Goo wouldn't have scolded you if you had dressed like this.
You look great. See you tomorrow.
What have you done?
Are you all right?
What are you doing?
What are you going to do? I'm going to meet someone.
- I was... - Hey.
What happened? I could hear you from the cafe.
I asked what you're going to do.
Did you spill your coffee on me on purpose?
Why would I do that?
I would not know.
Oh, no. Coffee stains are hard to get rid of.
I guess I'm sorry.
"I guess I'm sorry"?
What was that? Do you call that apology?
Listen, Ms. Jung.
Why are you talking down to me all of a sudden?
I'm older than you and your supervisor at work.
Is it wrong to talk down to you?
She's right. You must respect seniority in a family too.
I haven't accepted Ms. Jung as my family.
And this happened...
because you suddenly reached out your hand to put your coat on.
Hey. You should apologize to her if you did something wrong.
Excuse me. Did Eun Jo do something wrong?
Haeng Ja.
As Eun Jo's guardian,
I was teaching her what's right because she did something wrong.
That doesn't seem to be the case.
Stay out of this if you don't know what happened.
The way you talk to me is upsetting.
In Woo didn't say anything wrong.
Mr. Jung, I need to talk to you briefly.
Okay.
You are unbelievable, Ms. Gil.
- What do you mean? - You just had to say sorry.
You're always like this.
You think you're better than others.
Darn. What should I do this?
Hey. Ms. Jung.
What's wrong, Ms. Kim?
I'm here. Go ahead.
I can put up with everything else,
but I can't stand watching my kids being treated like that.
You have to change that mindset of yours.
Your kids behave like that because you spoil them.
What do you mean by that?
It seemed that both of them were responsible for what happened.
Even though they say that blood is thicker than water,
you can't blindly side with your daughter like that.
My goodness. Fairness is the most important thing...
when it comes to teaching kids right from wrong.
Exactly. Eun Jo said that it's both parties' fault.
How could you decide after listening to just one side?
I think you're listening to only one side.
Please stop it. You two might end up having a big fight.
He must've been harsh on Eun Jo.
She looked pale and couldn't seem to say a word.
Neither In Woo nor I said anything wrong.
You don't understand what I'm saying at all.
You're right. I'm Kim Haeng Ja, the shrew of Geumdong Market,
who never received proper education. Didn't you know?
I... I didn't mean it like that.
Let's drop this.
I'll stop here, but please don't meddle in my kids' affairs.
Whether they should be scolded or complimented,
I will be the judge of that.
Oh, my. Ms. Kim.
She's so stubborn.
I can't even have a conversation with her.
She keeps saying that she's a shrew.
It's not something to brag about. My gosh.
Make it quick. I have to get changed and leave.
Who are you to be so disrespectful to Haeng Ja?
I wondered what she would say.
I didn't say anything wrong.
If she marries your dad, she becomes your mom.
The way you spoke to her was inappropriate.
You know you have no right to say such a thing.
What do you mean?
I am my dad's daughter.
And Ms. Kim will be my stepmom when my dad marries her.
Aren't I right?
So?
My stepmother and you.
What exactly is your relationship?
Haeng Ja is...
Haeng Ja?
You call her like that?
Is she just a woman you live with?
- What is your problem? - Don't you know?
Know your place, please.
My family can decide how we want to call her as she's our family now.
You have no right to give me a hard time. Sorry to disappoint you.
"Right"?
Yes, I'm just a foundling after all.
Did something bad happen?
Did you and Mr. Jung have an argument or something?
Well, it's not like he didn't know that I'm ignorant and undereducated.
I'm sure he didn't tell you that he thinks you're ignorant.
You're just insecure.
About the kids too.
I raised Eun Jo and Myung Jo in my own way,
and no one says that they're ill-behaved or rude.
Eun Jo is a little... People have said that about her.
She can be like that only with me.
She's so polite and friendly to other people.
Let's just say it's true. It looks like you'll hit me if I disagree.
Gosh, you little...
All right, fine. Let's drop this.
I guess you and Mr. Jung really are a married couple now.
What does that mean?
You two are fighting about the kids.
I thought the two of you would live happily ever after,
but you've already become like a real married couple.
I think this is only the beginning.
What are you doing now?
Shall I call the police?
Myung Jo!
Are you okay?
That jerk followed you because you're wearing such a short skirt.
Why is that any of your business?
Our relationship... Because I used to have to care.
"Our relationship"?
Make sure you dress warmly.
Wear long skirts,
and don't slip on icy streets when you wear high heels.
Answer me. Can you go out with me again?
- Sorry? - Even if your parents disapprove?
That's...
Mind your own business if you don't think you can do that.
And don't even say hi to me even if you run into me again.
Take it back. You eat it.
Do you have to say it like that?
I was actually wearing a nicer dress today, but Gil Eun...
I spilled coffee on it.
This dress isn't pretty, right?
No, it's nice.
Is it?
By any chance, can I expect some roses about now?
What?
You showed me a magic trick a while ago, you know.
It was so cool.
Do you still practice magic tricks?
Why would I? It's so childish.
You think it's childish?
I tried it because I was bored, but it was a waste of time.
Let's finish this quickly and leave. My mom is waiting for me.
This is our first date though.
I'm sure she won't say anything.
I'm quite busy these days.
Let's get going if you're done.
- Turn the lights off. - You turn them off.
I'm older than you. Be respectful, will you?
- Don't you dare brag about it. - About what?
Why are you in a bad mood after your long-awaited date with Bu Sik?
Are you boasting to make me upset?
We just had dinner together, and he rushed me.
What more do you want?
I can't even talk to my guy, let alone eat with him.
Are you really going to be like this about every single thing?
I will keep on being like this until my anger goes away.
You're so stubborn.
Isn't it too soon to say that?
Have you even thought about how upset I must be now?
Myung Jo is...
my first love.
I had no idea that I'd fall for him like this.
But Dad ruined all of it.
He's done nothing for me until now, and he even ruined my love.
Do you still think I'm going overboard?
I'm asking for your help because the situation is very bad.
She has all the banks and sources of funds under her control.
She's even trying to stop the final results from getting released.
Are you saying Director Goo Jong Hee is behind all of it?
- With Director Kim's help? - That's correct.
Mr. Hong still doesn't want to give up. I feel so bad for him.
The board meeting won't be favorable to us if things pan out like this.
I can't believe it.
She needs to let him do his job.
That's exactly my point.
I'm not trying to drive a wedge between you two. It's all true.
Please try to persuade Director Goo.
Do you really have to do all that to stop Suk Pyo?
Can't you be supportive of him?
No, I can't. I have to stop him.
Why? We're a family.
- Yes, because we're a family. - Jong Hee.
Genius was close to falling apart 10 years ago. You probably don't know.
Right, you joined the company right after that,
so you wouldn't know.
So what?
The chairman pushed ahead with a cosmeceutical business like Suk Pyo,
then failed miserably.
That was a decade ago.
The situation is worse now.
I did market research to support Suk Pyo, but now isn't a good time.
Plus, Director Kim is eyeing on the CEO position too.
It's too risky.
Then, just try to explain all of that to him.
I've tried to explain everything to him numerous times.
He looks just like the chairman did 10 years ago.
He can't hear anything no matter how hard I try to stop him.
The chairman went through all of that,
saved the company from going under,
and passed away from all the stress.
This is so hard.
Of course I want to be supportive of what Suk Pyo wants to do.
I will stop it even if that means I have to make him...
step down from being a CEO.
Suk Pyo must resent me now,
but this is the only way to save him as well as the company.
So I hope you can decide wisely too.
Well, let me ask you one thing.
Does it have nothing to do with your personal ambition?
I'm your daughter.
That's all I'll say.
She's... My daughter?
What an ambiguous answer.
Right, I should trust her. I'll trust her.
Hong Suk.
Can you meet me now?
Why are you sitting out here in this cold? Let's go.
Eun Jo.
I wasn't going to cry.
I keep tearing up.
Tell me.
Where should I begin?
Haeng Ja...
raised me and Myung Jo...
just because she had a crush on our dad.
And I took it for granted.
Even while I was living a wealthy life thanks to her,
I always thought...
that Haeng Ja wasn't good enough.
I hated her...
and was embarrassed about her because she was ignorant and tough.
When I saw Haeng Ja outside...
while hanging out with my friends, I pretended not to know her.
When I ran into her, I ignored her.
That's how I treated her.
Then what happened?
Suk.
Do you know what foundling means?
Why are you asking me that?
I...
turned out not to be a member of the Gil family...
that my aunt is so proud of.
I...
am not Myung Jo's sister.
I'm not the daughter of my dad whom Haeng Ja loved so much.
I'm not the daughter of my mom...
who held my hand to the last moment of her life.
So?
What do you mean?
My whole world came crashing down.
Everything I used to know turned into a total mess.
So does that change anything?
Sorry?
Your world that you talked about.
Do you have the courage to change it?
How could you be so cold-hearted?
If you're not going to change it, why does it matter?
What's wrong with being a foundling?
Are you sad because you don't know who your real parents are?
They had you knowing that they wouldn't be able to raise you.
And they abandoned you in front of someone else's house.
But you still want to know who they are because you're blood-related?
Think about the times you spent with Myung Jo and Ms. Kim.
Isn't that more important to you?
The people you're living with now are your family.
That's enough. What else do you need?
If you're grateful to Ms. Kim, you can just be nicer to her.
If you're sorry to her, you can be even nicer to her.
Okay. I'll do that.
I feel much better now,
but I still can't stop crying.
The fact that I am a foundling...
and was abandoned...
is hard to forget.
