VP Kang Chi Hwan is...
(Episode 81)
my biological father.
I know.
You knew?
I haven't known for long, though.
You're Lee Hae In, aren't you?
Yes.
Mr. Kang is your son-in-law, and the fact that...
he has an illegitimate child...
must make you uncomfortable.
Despite that,
the reason I must tell you...
is because...
my birth mother suffered a miserable death.
What do you mean?
My birth mother...
died the day I was born.
What's your date of birth?
I was born in 1996.
On April 8.
April 8, 1996?
It's the day he married Mi Kang.
The day I was born, my birth mother...
drowned in the sea...
holding a pillow in swaddling clothes.
I checked her dead body at daybreak.
He lied about it,
but he dealt with it too.
This is my birth mother.
To you,
Ms. Jeon is a precious daughter.
My mom would've felt the same about me.
Because she carried me...
in her belly for ten months with love.
But the day she had me,
before she could even recover,
she was found in the water.
I lost her as soon as I was born,
and grew up in an orphanage...
not knowing who my father was.
Does Chi Hwan know you're his daughter?
Yes.
Since when?
I'm not sure exactly when,
but I think he knew for a long time.
Okay, then.
Why did you come here to see me?
What do you want me to do?
I understand your position,
but we too have...
Hello?
He hung up?
He won't give up his source?
He'd never.
The moment he does,
he loses the trust and credit he built up as a streamer.
What should I tell Dad?
Why did he give me such a tough task?
I'm already busy with the home-shopping deal.
Do I have to do silly things like this?
This video.
It was taken by someone who was waiting outside.
As if they knew about it.
That's right.
It means someone on the inside knew this was going to happen.
What brings you here, Jin Woo?
How's your head?
Should you be up and about?
Yes, I'm fine.
I put together a team to handle the media.
And I told PR to release a statement denying the allegations.
You don't have to worry about this anymore.
Really? Great. Thanks, Jin Woo.
Why are you overstepping your boundaries?
Director Moon... No.
Are you Legal Clerk Moon now?
What should I call you? L. C. Moon?
If negative news keeps spreading...
and repeated on social media,
it'll hurt our stock price and image.
You must know that, L. C. Moon.
Yes, he's right.
Look up the keywords we're associated with.
There's arson and attempted murder.
Enough for a current affairs exposé.
Like Jin Woo said, we should cover it up.
You're stopping us from finding the source for the sake of our image?
You of all people?
Who's stopping that?
I'm looking into it really hard myself.
The video posted on our bulletin board,
and then this video that was sent to the media.
I think someone on the inside is spreading slander on purpose.
Though I don't yet know why.
Who's that?
You want to know?
You spoke as if you knew.
The video was posted from Director Moon's laptop.
And the person who had it deleted from the server?
Director Moon Do Hyun.
Only one person's connected to all of that.
Is that...
a misunderstanding and mistake too?
Ha Jin Woo! What are you on about?
I was framed. I never uploaded anything.
You were framed?
That's your specialty.
Framing people for what they didn't do.
I just listed the facts and you're saying you were framed?
Do you have a guilty conscience?
Shut your mouth.
What are you doing, Do Hyun? Let go.
Shut it...
and get lost.
Sure.
It's rude to overstay my welcome.
I'll get lost.
Kang...
Do you believe...
I set fire to the cabin...
to kill my parents for the insurance money?
I didn't do that.
It wasn't me.
The gas canister and the wine.
When we reached the cabin,
it had already been set up.
Before I got there with Jin Woo,
someone tampered with them.
You could've gone there the night before,
spiked the wine with sleeping medication,
and tampered with the gas valve.
You could think so.
But for some strange reason,
the camera footage for those few days is missing.
If someone did come to the cabin before I did,
there's no record of it.
The footage that's left...
is of me arriving.
Isn't that odd?
That isn't enough to prove you're not guilty.
I know...
what it is you want to hide.
What?
The person who started the fire...
is Se Na.
Kang Se Na, your granddaughter.
I agree that she didn't bring the wine or gas.
She was just unlucky.
There would've been a fire anyway, even if she hadn't started one.
I know Se Na's not the real culprit.
I have no intention of putting the blame on her.
Then...
are you suggesting a deal?
No. I want to find out...
who the real culprit is.
Are you saying the real culprit's a member of my family?
I don't know who or where the culprit is.
But I'm positive that Moon Do Hyun...
who prosecuted the case knows who it is.
If he did his job...
as a prosecutor, that is.
For any of this to happen,
I must believe without a doubt that you're not guilty.
How can I...
believe and trust you on that?
So that he could...
marry your daughter, my birth father...
saw to it that my birth mother would end up dead.
He knew I was his daughter,
but to protect Se Na,
he made me look guilty...
and sent me to prison.
After I got out,
he stopped at nothing to get me to leave Shine,
and tried to send me to the US in secret.
I was framed for something I didn't do...
and served four years in prison.
Now people call me...
an ungrateful, evil woman...
who attempted murder for money.
I don't care if you don't believe me.
Just give me the opportunity to find the real killer.
So that I can get to the truth,
help me.
Three days ago.
Was Do Hyun home at night?
On Wednesday, you mean?
Yes.
He came home a bit late.
Around what time?
I'm not sure.
It was after I fell asleep.
Why are you asking that kind of question?
Oh, it's nothing.
I think he has too much work, that's all.
Come in.
Dad, everything you said was taken care of.
Was it? Mr. Oh, you can go.
Okay.
Jin Woo already got a team to handle the media...
and told PR to release a statement of denial.
He is good at what he does.
Dad. The video of you being taken away.
He thinks it was an insider job.
An insider?
It's a video no one could've taken unless they knew...
the police would come.
Yes. It was as if they were waiting for it to happen.
That day,
when you were taken from the basement parking lot,
who else knew about it?
Jin Woo saw us while he was parking and gave chase.
Then it was you and Do Hyun.
Jin Woo wouldn't collude with them...
at the expense of getting hurt.
Hwang Tae Yong and Moon Do Hyun.
The two are working together to stab me in the back.
Let's call the police first.
Hello, Captain, it's Moon...
Wait. Not yet.
Moon Do Hyun.
It was an act.
- Se Na! Are you okay? - Dad.
Help Jin Woo.
Help him.
Yes. When we arrived at the scene,
the thugs had gone.
Dad.
What are you thinking about?
Oh, nothing.
Se Na.
Don't get any closer to Do Hyun.
- What? - I think...
he's connected to the series...
of events that have been happening.
Do Hyun? No way.
He was demoted from director.
It's enough to make him want revenge.
You know that...
since he was a kid, he was ambitious.
Wanting to marry you was part of that ambition.
Beware of him.
I mean that, okay?
Okay, Dad.
Do Hyun, have a word with me first.
I got rid of Yoon Yi Chang to marry Mi Kang.
Do Hyun is daring to...
get rid of me, his possible father-in-law.
He's a freak...
who wants me out of the picture so he can marry Se Na...
and take over Mujeong Construction.
Moon Do Hyun.
Do you think I'll let you do that?
My gosh.
Buy a home and get married.
Get married and buy a home.
My gosh.
You wanted chicken porridge, so I put a lot of work into it,
and you're spilling half of it.
I don't have full use of my right hand.
It's hard. Feed me.
You're no kid. Learn to feed yourself.
Feed me!
You're back early.
Hi, Sol.
I'm so sorry you must share your small room.
I'll send him off as soon as he's better.
It's okay. I was bored being alone, so it works for me too.
- Your rent... - Well...
Mr. Hwang offered to pay half.
I did?
He'll even give me an allowance for taking him to the hospital.
I will?
I can't come by as often as I used to.
Don't worry. This place and the restaurant,
and Mr. Hwang too. I'll watch them all.
Ho Young. Thank you so much.
I'll pay you back for all this somehow.
Okay.
- What's up with him? - Goodness.
Se Na.
I'll drive you to and from work for now.
The culprit's still at large.
Wanting to marry you was part of that ambition.
Beware of him.
I mean that, okay?
It might give others the wrong idea.
What idea?
Wait for me.
Jin Woo.
The doors are closing.
Are you going home?
You too?
Yes.
Then can you walk me to the basement parking level?
The kidnapping left me traumatized.
I can't breathe...
and I get anxious when I'm down there.
Ask Do Hyun to walk you.
He parked on the first floor.
You should go. It's your floor.
The doors are closing.
Where did you park?
Somewhere over there.
It's a red car, right?
What's wrong?
I'm fine. I can manage.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
It's fine.
I feel faint only when I'm here.
I'll get over it soon.
This won't do.
You can't go on your own.
Is that Transportation? It's Ha Jin Woo.
Ms. Kang Se Na's not well and she needs a company car.
Leave it.
I don't want a stranger to drive me.
I'm still a bit scared.
Can you drop me off just for today?
Just this once. Please?
Why don't you come in?
No, it's a bit late.
Come in for some tea at least.
My gosh.
You're here, Jin Woo.
What are you doing with Se Na?
I almost passed out in the basement parking lot.
He helped me and then drove me home.
Did you?
You saved Se Na a good many times.
If it hadn't been for you that day, who knows what would've happened?
I heard you were taken to a hospital.
I'm so grateful and I feel dreadful too.
It's fine.
I'd have done the same for anyone, not just Se Na.
Goodbye, Ms. Jeon.
It's not right to just send you off.
Our family might not be that close with yours now,
but you saved my daughter's life.
I can't send you off when you came all the way here.
Stay for dinner.
- Come in. - Yes, stay.
Let us thank you properly.
Just stay for dinner.
You're home. I just got home too.
Let's go have dinner.
Mr. Kang says you can have dinner here today.
- Why? - Se Na brought a guest.
That's out of the blue.
- Who is it? - I don't know.
I can't say.
I have to get back.
Who is it?
- Should I go and see? - Don't.
Do you know something?
Just don't bother.
Do Hyun. You know something, don't you?
What would I know? Don't go over there.
Leave Do Hyun alone.
Let's eat out.
Ta-da.
What made you want to cook today?
We served Jin Woo spicy seafood stew whenever he came over.
Yes.
Jin Woo.
Taste it.
Se Na.
It's fine.
Your mom taught you great manners.
Let's eat, everyone.
Taste it. The broth is amazing.
Where's Father?
He's meeting friends for dinner.
It looks great.
Where's Mom?
She's not the type to sit here when she's curious.
I was so scared that day.
I'd only seen it in the movies. They stood before me, blocked me,
said, "Come with us," shoved me in the car, and drove off.
That's when Jin Woo saw me.
He drove after the car I was in,
all the way to the warehouse, and saved me.
It was a scene worthy of a movie.
My gosh.
Guys in black suits were swinging steel pipes.
How scary is that?
His life could've been in danger.
And Jin Woo still came in to save me.
He subdued two guys,
but the third coward hit him in the head.
My gosh.
Where's Director Moon?
Is he not home yet?
He can eat at the annex from now on.
Why?
We kept him too close and I think he got the wrong idea.
What do you mean?
Because we eat and chat with him,
he seems to have forgotten his lowly beginnings.
People with lowly beginnings are too greedy.
They can't control it.
What?
If I'm lowly, that makes you a sewer.
In medieval times,
the English fought the French fiercely.
While the war was raging on,
English royals married French royals...
as if nothing was wrong.
Now I understand much more...
why they did that.
Excuse me.
Jin Woo, where are you?
- Jin Woo? - Oh, yes.
I was just about to leave.
Where are you?
I'll tell you when I'm home.
I think I must leave.
Why?
You haven't been by in a while. Stay for tea and fruit too.
Yes, do that.
My parents are waiting.
Thank you for dinner.
Sure. Come by again.
Thanks a lot, Jin Woo.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Excuse me for a bit.
Jin Woo.
Was it a bit uncomfortable?
Thanks so much for saving me.
I'd have saved anyone else, not just you.
Don't think too much of it.
And stop thanking me.
Okay. Get home safely.
What was that about the medieval royals?
Our family and Yoon Mo's ended up...
fighting and competing against each other,
but Se Na was meant to marry Jin Woo.
There's no point in saying that now.
We might be enemies of sorts,
but if we consider our families,
only Seonju Group's good enough for us.
We might fight when we must,
but when it comes to marriage,
we must find someone our equal.
That's the rule of the world.
So what if it is?
Yoon Mo and Young Eun don't care for Se Na.
Jin Woo's such a well-rounded boy.
He's not mean at all, and he's so pure.
But all I see in Do Hyun is mud.
He's crafty.
Father's a good judge of character.
I think that Se Na...
still has some feelings for Jin Woo.
It's a pity we lost him.
Stop it!
Jin Woo!
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
Is Mr. Kang in?
What are you doing here this early in the morning?
What...
What are you doing?
I said I'd move in today.
Why would you live here?
I guess he was too busy to pass it on.
Father asked me to live with him.
"Father?"
Yoon Sol. What do you think you're doing?
Kang Chi Hwan. Scumbag.
You should die!
You jerk.
You must die!
What's wrong with you? Let go!
You scumbag!
Die!
(Meant to be)
Do Hyun. Do you still trust Kang Chi Hwan?
This means Hwang Tae Yong knows Kang Chi Hwan's secrets.
Did you know everything, Dad?
That Yoon Sol was Chi Hwan's daughter.
How could Dad betray Mom and me like this?
How dare you act like that here?
What right do you have to slap me?
What did I do to you people?
