Thanks for coming.
I had to come.
Who did the catering? The food wasn't that great.
I'll skip this restaurant.
Was it?
The chef's a Michelin two-star.
Should I have hired a three-star chef?
Three-star chefs are hard to find.
There's nothing my husband can't do.
He'll do anything for me, including hiring a three-star chef.
Will he?
Don't you think this is too much for a kid's birthday party?
People will see things and gossip even more.
I'm scared for your sake.
This is what high-class people like us do.
Keep that in mind on Jin Woo's birthday.
Don't insult your in-laws.
Ask me for tips.
I won't mind. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
It's only natural you don't know.
How dare you?
Gosh, your wit can sting.
Enjoy...
You said the food wasn't good enough. Too bad.
No, don't mind me.
Look over there.
Aren't you bothered?
Strangers would think they're dating.
It looks like their relationship crossed the line.
I'd tell her off if I were you.
I'm asking because I don't know, but how do high-class people tackle this?
Do you ignore it out of embarrassment?
I was kidding.
What were those death glares for?
You almost bore a hole in me.
Your husband must really let you do as you wish.
Young Eun, there are words and attitudes that suit our grade...
Don't trust anyone, especially men.
Ms. Na has been around for over ten years.
That's how long she was around your husband.
It's Se Na's birthday today. Don't stray from the topic.
I do wish Se Na the best.
I also celebrate the doors of torment have opened for you.
Cheers.
I thought it was for me.
Let go, Mom.
Why do you want to get involved?
Do you even know what's broken?
Se Na must be scared.
What does that have to do with you?
She doesn't care about you at all.
She treats you like you're dung.
Why would you run to her?
Let go of me.
Moon Do Hyun. You don't know anything.
You didn't hear or see anything. Do not get involved.
If you say anything,
you and I both die.
Tell me.
What will you do?
Will you leave or stay here?
I won't leave. I won't go back.
Then you broke this.
In return for letting you stay.
I'll keep your secret.
That's not true. How could you say that?
Don't you get it?
Then go back to living like a beggar.
- What? - Get out of my house!
What's going on?
What's the matter?
Tell him. You broke that.
Did you really?
She did it. I saw her.
I did not.
You dropped it trying to lift it off the desk.
Dad.
You were in here?
You should be outside celebrating.
I came in to get changed. I was on my way outside.
Are you okay?
I can't move.
Don't stay too long, Dad.
Okay. You go ahead.
It's on your desk.
The idiot can't even remember where he put it?
- You're in here? - Yes.
Come outside. Se Na's cake is ready.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Did you see Jin Woo?
She won't blow out the candles if he's not there.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Se Na - Happy birthday, dear Se Na
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
Let's cut the cake together.
Well... Okay.
Tell me. What will you do?
Will you leave or stay here?
I want to live like this, with a happy family.
Then you broke this.
I really do want to live here.
But I'm scared.
My gosh.
We spent the whole day at a kid's party.
You must be tired.
I bet you wondered why we had to be there.
We had to. They rushed to our country home when Jin Woo went missing.
And Jin Woo's birthday's coming up. I wanted to see how things are done.
I have something to say.
What?
What is it, Jin Woo?
I wish...
I had a sibling.
A sibling? My gosh.
Why do you want a sibling?
Yes, Jin Woo.
Mom and Dad will work on it every day,
but a baby doesn't just appear...
because we work on making one.
We're not exactly young.
But if that's what you want,
Mom and Dad will do our best.
Today, I saw Hae In.
Hae In?
The girl who got me out of the water.
Oh, yes. The kid who got adopted by a couple.
Yes. I met her at Se Na's.
I want Hae In to be my sister.
What kind of nonsense is that?
I can barely handle him, let alone two kids that aren't mine.
Oh, my gosh.
Jin Woo.
Adoption isn't that simple an issue.
We can't just adopt someone because we want to.
Yes. It's quite late.
I'll ask about her situation tomorrow.
Let's go to bed. In the morning...
Hae In has to come home with us.
I owe her my life.
Please, Dad. Please?
Dad.
If I say I broke it,
Se Na will let me stay here.
I don't want to...
go back to the orphanage.
Hang in there, Hae In.
What's wrong?
Is something bothering you?
No.
Ms. Na, can I have a word?
I finally got an opportunity.
I finally get to meet Minister Jung tomorrow.
But I'm nervous, and my mind's blank.
I need to make a good impression.
Do you have any good ideas?
What are you going?
Shallow water can't keep anything afloat.
If the body of water isn't deep enough, it cannot support a ship.
For a bird of legend that is said to soar high in the sky,
it needs sufficient wind beneath the wings.
Become a large body of water one can launch a ship on,
and a strong gust of wind...
that will help a bird fly high. If you do that,
wouldn't the minister acknowledge you?
Don't trust anyone, especially men.
Ms. Na has been around for over ten years.
That's how long she was around your husband.
- Ms. Na. - Hello.
You do so much for my husband late into the night.
I don't mind.
You must be tired. Go to bed.
I will.
What is it, Hae In?
You can't sleep?
Why...
don't I have a home or parents?
I only have a necklace.
How did you come to give this to me?
Tell me about my parents.
They were distant relatives, so I didn't know them well.
What I do know...
is that your mom loved you so much.
I knew it.
One time, I fell really hard and scraped my knee.
I almost died of a high fever also.
I wanted to cry so much both times,
but I held this tight and held back the tears.
And my knee got better, and the fever went away.
I'm sure my mom protected me.
Yes.
From now on,
use that strength to stay strong and get through anything.
I will. Sleep tight.
I didn't do it.
Don't punish me.
Let me go.
Hae In. What's wrong?
Did you have a bad dream?
My gosh. You're drenched.
I need some water.
It wasn't a dream.
My father-in-law seems to want to put me in charge.
Does he?
If this deal goes well,
I might start my own business.
Did your father-in-law say he'd pay for it?
Ha Yoon Mo. You mocked me.
Watch and see...
how I pull things off.
Hi, there. Why are you up this late?
For a kid,
you're quite brave.
But don't do it again.
You're smaller than Jin Woo.
You could get in danger.
Okay.
If something similar happens,
ask adults for help, okay?
Yes.
- Go back upstairs to bed. - Okay.
Hey.
What did you say your name was?
Hae In. It's Lee Hae In.
I want to live here.
For a kid, you're quite brave.
I want to.
But don't do it again.
You're smaller than Jin Woo.
You could get in danger.
I really want to live here. I do.
If something similar happens,
ask adults for help, okay?
I really want to stay.
What did you say your name was?
Hae In. It's Lee Hae In.
I'll stay here. I'll live here.
Do you have a plan?
A plan?
This might be the most important day of Chi Hwan's life.
What's happening today?
I'm meeting Minister Jung.
You?
The company's future depends on that deal.
Is that why you tossed and turned all night?
Whether you become a phoenix or a tit...
depends solely on yourself.
Yes, Father.
The expensive vase was his gift, then?
The vase?
Even the most expensive treasure in the world...
means nothing if the people are not in agreement.
A split-second mistake can turn the celadon into a chamber pot.
Dad, trust Chi Hwan for once.
If you ruin this deal,
the first assignment will be the last.
Even now, I'm just half convinced.
Goodness.
Come on, Dad.
You know how he talks.
He irritates people right before a big deal.
That's because he thinks angry people try even harder to impress.
He thinks that tactic...
made him so successful.
Honey, don't be so upset.
You have a big day ahead.
Se Na, do you want some fruit?
My gosh. I feel a storm coming.
The expensive vase is in shards.
Oh, my poor heart.
Se Na, keep your promise.
You're in huge trouble.
Darn it.
Dad, let's go!
Hurry!
Let's go!
Okay, let's go.
Where to?
To get Hae In.
Jin Woo.
You said you'd ask in the morning.
You promised.
Yes, I did.
But even if I did...
It's morning right now.
Get changed.
Jin Woo, please.
Get changed so we can go to Se Na's.
You won't even let me shower?
It can't wait.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Hae In might get hurt!
- What? - What?
- Chi Hwan. - Yes.
Good luck. I believe in you.
Say goodbye.
I love you, Dad.
Have a great day. Good luck.
I love you too, Se Na.
- Wish me luck. - Good luck.
What's the matter with you?
Hae In.
I broke it.
Yesterday. That.
What?
Are you out of your mind? You broke what?
I thought it was for me.
I tried to get it down off the desk, and it fell.
It broke.
What are you saying?
Tell me!
Hae In. Is it true?
You didn't tell me about this.
I saw her.
Hae In was in your study, Mr. Kang.
She lifted the box and dropped it.
I saw.
You.
Is that true?
How dare you break this?
- Let's see it. - Okay.
What a mess.
I'm impressed.
Dad, it wasn't Chi Hwan's fault.
Whoever broke it,
you should've kept it safe!
This is what you're like.
It was too soon.
It was my mistake to give you the opportunity.
This confirms you're incapable...
and shouldn't be trusted.
Dad.
What? Three years is too long?
When will you be worth the food you eat?
Darn you.
Take Se Na to her room.
Mr. Kang.
Mr. Kang!
The best thing to do at someone else's home is to do nothing.
But then, I bet no one taught you manners.
Mr. Kang!
I'll teach you...
- exactly what you did. - Mr. Kang!
I'll make you remember forever...
what it costs to be out of line.
I'm sorry. Don't hurt me.
Please don't.
Hi, there.
Why are you up this late?
- Mr. Kang. - I had no idea...
it was your guilty conscience.
I even got you some water.
This is why they say...
you shouldn't show charity to beggars.
Mr. Kang!
You vermin.
Ms. Na!
Get out of the way.
Hitting her won't make the vase whole!
Move!
You can't hit her.
- What? - Do you know who she is?
Who is she?
I meant...
I asked you. Who is she?
(Meant to be)
(Child actors were accompanied by family and were kept safe and well-rested.)
I'll raise Hae In well, like my own.
I must ask for a favor.
Soon Young.
Like you said, Hae In must be blessed.
I'll resign and leave with Hae In.
Tell the truth.
I don't want Ms. Na to suffer because of me.
Move!
