Hello.
(Episode 86)
Do you have plans after work?
No.
(Confirmation of Intention to Divorce)
Did my stepmother ask for a divorce?
What?
Oh, this?
Yes.
Why?
Why do you think?
Are you afraid of getting divorced?
Is that why you're trying to send me far away again?
Don't mind it. We managed to move on.
That's good to hear.
I have something to talk to you about.
Let's have dinner at home together.
Okay.
Good. See you in the evening.
Yes, Father.
My gosh.
Sol, do you need our help with anything?
Just name it.
Can you do me a favor, then?
Keep Mr. Kang occupied for just two hours.
- Well... Okay. - Okay.
What about me? What shall I do?
You can...
Yes?
Hello, Mr. Kang.
What are you doing here?
Ms. Chae too.
About Se Na.
Jin Woo says she doesn't usually drink so much.
Are you having problems at home?
Not really.
Yes, I was worried about her too.
We're friends, after all.
We are competitors and we don't see eye-to-eye,
but I couldn't just ignore the situation since we also have a son her age.
Is Se Na doing better now?
Oh, and was Mi Kang busy that day?
I thought she'd come to get Se Na.
Was she somewhere else?
Well...
Let's not do this here.
I'm a bit hungry. Shall we chat over dinner?
I would love to,
but I must get home early today.
Gosh, what a shame. I'm almost hurt.
On this hot summer day, Jin Woo rushed out as soon as Se Na called,
put up with her drunk antics, and brought her home.
I stayed up all night to wipe the floor of her vomit,
and even cooked dried pollack soup.
Don't you owe us dinner at least?
Well, yes, of course I do, but today...
Come on, Chi Hwan. I'm busy myself and spared the time...
to come all the way here.
Let's have dinner together for once.
You see your family every day.
It's just a simple meal.
Today, I must be home to...
Hey, I had this much food for lunch.
I'm starving.
Fine, but some other time.
It doesn't take that long to eat.
Wait. Are you avoiding us?
Why would I avoid you? I did nothing wrong.
Then let's go and eat. What's the problem?
- Get up. - But I...
Darling, what shall we eat?
Something tasty.
- Let's go. - Stand up.
What would you like to eat?
- I can't... - Come along.
How long will you be?
Work on her for me and keep the atmosphere light.
Yoon Mo and his wife looked after Se Na.
I'll come right home after dinner with them.
Why are they ambushing you today?
Okay, then.
Placate her and feed her some hope.
So she can't refuse to go to Wonder Beauty, okay?
I said I got it.
Don't be too long.
You're working hard, Se Na.
Jin Woo.
Director... It's Legal Clerk Moon now.
Shouldn't you go home?
Since when did you care when I went home?
Let's go.
Forget it. I'm busy.
Work all you want, but you're just a clerk.
Why bother?
Quit yapping and get lost.
Come with me.
You look like you're full of rage.
Let's sweat it out.
You have no friends at work because you're always working.
- What do you know? - You have friends?
Do you?
You don't. Don't pretend you do.
Let's go.
Se Na, you too.
Okay. Where are you going?
Ha Jin Woo!
Darn it.
Grandfather, come outside.
What?
- Okay. - I'm home.
Mi Kang must be back from work.
Thank you.
We'll go to the annex now.
- I'll be back tomorrow. - What?
- But... - Come with me.
Take a seat.
What's all this?
It looks fabulous.
I'd been craving a drink. I guess you felt the same.
Mixing cocktails at home is popular these days.
Is it?
A vodka highball is a popular drink.
But we have some nice liquors too,
so I wanted to make you a drink.
I see.
- Let's see. - Here.
It's cool, light, and refreshing. It's nice.
I can't stop drinking.
Dad, it's not soda.
Slow down or you'll get drunk.
Here, you too.
About the company model deal.
We sell an expensive line that caters to middle-aged women.
How about you model for that line, Ms. Jeon?
How could I model for a cosmetics line?
No. That sounds like a great idea.
Not you too, Dad.
Modeling isn't just for anyone.
Don't go around saying that.
Why not? You're as beautiful as an actor.
- Isn't she? - She is.
She was so pretty even as a child.
Even an ordinary person like me tried.
You're way overqualified.
To be honest, I was startled when I met Se Na, she was so pretty.
And you're her mother.
Will you stop it?
You're teasing me now.
I'm serious. Why waste your looks?
I'm a makeup artist and I can judge a model from a glance.
Stop it. I'm not a model.
Let's have a drink, then.
- Cheers. - Sounds good.
Oh, right.
Take a look.
Wait, isn't this Se Na?
When was this taken?
When Se Na and I first met.
You two played dress-up?
We drank beer in my dad's theater,
and we ate snack foods.
We wore wigs and did some acting.
We did whatever we wanted because no one was watching.
We lay down on the floor and ran around.
We shouted too.
This was a really tough time for her.
And she smiled so brightly?
Yes. Our Se Na's so pretty when she smiles.
Oh, a photo of my dad got mixed in.
He's handsome, isn't he?
Yes. He is.
Come on!
What about me? What shall I do?
You can keep Do Hyun and Se Na busy.
Keep going!
Sol, is everything going as planned?
You're pretty good, Do Hyun.
Are they fighting over me?
How about a game if you don't mind?
- Why? - We're practicing for a tournament.
We'll buy you a soda afterwards.
That's too boring. Let's play for something fun.
What shall we play for?
We played for our school until middle school.
Let's go with the soda deal.
Let's bet.
How about chicken and beer?
We eat a lot.
So do we.
- Deal. Let's play. - Let's do it.
Se Na, count the score for us.
Okay.
Good luck!
Oh, no.
Here!
Do Hyun!
The person is unable to answer...
Did they fight and mess things up?
Why won't she pick up?
This is my birth mother.
Chairman Ha said...
she was the purest,
sweetest person he'd ever met until then.
She's pretty, isn't she?
She is.
I can tell even from a photo.
Why did this sweet woman...
have to drown...
in the sea the day I was born?
Why did she jump from a cliff holding a pillow in swaddling clothes?
What do you mean?
The day she had you,
she jumped into the sea with a pillow in swaddling clothes?
Why?
(Autopsy Report)
This is the autopsy report.
An autopsy report?
What's that?
When someone dies anywhere other than at a hospital,
they issue this instead of a death certificate.
This means the police released her body...
to someone for funeral purposes.
These are articles I copied from the local papers.
I looked up the accidents that had happened...
a week before and after the day she died.
My goodness.
Giving birth is a painful, harrowing experience.
(Woman in 20s Drowned, Supposed Suicide)
She should've been looked after so she could recover.
Instead, she jumped into the cold water?
Why on earth?
Did your mother have no one to look after her?
That's why I resented my birth father.
Why did your birth mother...
not tell Chi Hwan she was pregnant?
Why did she hide it from him?
The day she died...
is the day Mr. Kang married you.
I was born the day you married with everyone's blessing,
and while you were enjoying your honeymoon,
my mother left me behind.
She wrapped a pillow in swaddling clothes...
and jumped from a cliff to her death.
Father, I'm home.
Honey, sorry I'm late.
(Woman in 20s Drowned, Supposed Suicide)
(Autopsy Report)
Sol.
Come with me. Let's talk.
You can talk here.
Do as I say and follow me!
How dare you raise your voice? You don't have the right to.
Just as much as Ms. Jeon and Se Na,
my mom and I deserve respect.
My mother was someone's daughter,
and so am I.
I'm someone's precious daughter too.
Were you given the right to mistreat my mom and me?
Who said you could?
Was it for money?
Was it because we were poor?
Because we were penniless?
What are you talking about?
Why did my birth mom and I...
have to be treated so miserably by my dad?
Why did you abandon us?
Who said you could?
With what right did you crush us?
Who are you?
What are you?
I didn't know.
Soon Young made that choice.
I don't know why!
If you come and put the blame on me now,
what do you expect me to do?
You didn't know?
That's right! How many times must I tell you?
You really didn't know?
I didn't know. I really didn't know!
You didn't know which island my mom was on?
How could I know?
We parted long before I married Mi Kang!
Hwang Tae Yong, you punk!
Why aren't you on the island yet?
I don't care how much it costs.
Do whatever it takes to sort it out, okay?
Did I push her over the cliff?
You did.
You told me to kill her.
- What? - You told him to do...
whatever it took and you didn't know?
My mom did the only thing she could to save me...
and jumped into the sea with a pillow!
To save me at least!
And you say you didn't know?
How can you say you didn't know?
How? How could you?
How?
Do you call yourself a human being?
Grandfather.
I feel so bad for my mom.
My poor mom...
I found out two days before.
I didn't want to ruin the wedding.
You know how responsible I am.
You're responsible?
You and I didn't marry for love.
The wedding? Was that more important than a baby's life?
You didn't want to ruin the wedding?
I loved you.
You loved Mujeong Construction's chairman's son-in-law title!
I loved you so much?
What, love? You loved me?
Honey, when I told him to sort it out,
I didn't mean he should kill her.
I just wanted her to move to a faraway country,
and I hoped he'd persuade her.
But she got the wrong idea and went and did something stupid.
"Something stupid?"
Do you think that's stupid?
You must've loved her to death at one time.
She carried your child for ten months and gave birth to her.
Can you not even imagine what she thought,
how she felt as she stood at the cliff and jumped?
You're not human.
You're much worse.
Honey, hear me out.
I won't.
- I... - I won't hear a single word!
No, you must!
Shut your mouth!
You animal.
What? That's a bit too harsh.
Even animals...
take care of their young.
How can you say that after you saw what I did for Se Na?
I can't live with you...
knowing what I do now.
You give me the chills. Get out.
Sol.
I'm somewhat responsible for the death...
of your mother.
I apologize sincerely.
I'm truly sorry.
When Mi Kang was five years old,
her mom...
fell in love with a rich man...
and left Mi Kang to be with him.
Since then,
I was unable to trust women.
So...
I raised Mi Kang...
on my own without a mother.
I cared for nothing but money, success,
and Mi Kang's happiness.
Shortly before Chi Hwan married her,
I aimed a shotgun at him and told him...
to focus only on Mi Kang.
To be loyal only to her.
I think...
what I said to him...
resulted in this disaster.
That makes me an accomplice,
and I'm responsible too.
As you know,
because of the handbag incident with Ms. Oh,
we almost lost Se Na.
Back then,
Mi Kang refused to eat or drink and she almost died too.
Seeing how maternal Mi Kang was then...
Your mother kept you...
and grew you inside her for ten months.
And the day you were born,
she grabbed a pillow instead and jumped into the sea to save you.
Your mother must've been just as maternal.
Just the thought...
breaks my heart.
I feel terrible.
Even if...
I were to go on my knees,
it won't bring your mother back.
Whatever I offer to compensate you with,
it won't make up for...
the sorrow of losing a mom.
I'm old enough to look back and see...
it was all...
my greed.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
How are you so good at basketball? Teach me how to play.
It was even more fun because you won.
Was basketball this fun a sport?
How are they on a team? Can anyone compete?
What tournament is it?
We can hear you.
Sorry. Thanks for the chicken.
We could be so happy if only Sol would go to New York.
I should call home.
I thought you were a nerd but you're pretty good.
Now you know?
Do Hyun, if you and I were to team up,
wouldn't we be incredible?
- Finish your food. - I mean it.
You and I have decent chemistry.
As if we do.
- Here, sweetie. - Don't, it's gross.
You eat that.
How did it go, Dad?
Se Na.
Did you talk to Sol? What did she say?
I haven't yet.
Why not?
The atmosphere wasn't right tonight.
You really have to send her to New York, okay?
Okay.
You sound like you're in a good mood.
Yes. I laughed a lot today and I feel so happy.
Please, Dad. It's my wish.
Promise, okay?
Okay, I promise.
Don't be too late.
I won't. I love you, Dad.
Okay. I love...
you too.
It's good to see you like this at least.
Hey, Ho Bbang.
I can only see one cheek.
Really? Ho Bbang, move in closer.
Like this? I'm here.
I see Ho Bbang.
- I see you. - Where's Sol?
Hush. Toilet.
We'll have to talk to her tomorrow, then.
Jung Im, eat well and take care while you're there.
Ho Bbang, bye-bye.
- It looks tasty. - Did you talk to them?
Yes. Auntie and Ho Bbang are well.
- Come and have some watermelon. - Have watermelon.
Yoon Sol. This is what you wanted.
You wanted me to get divorced and kicked out.
Isn't that why you set this up?
You called me "Father."
How could you do this to me?
Is this what you do to your father?
I'll say that right back at you.
To the woman you loved, the woman who had your baby,
did you do it on purpose?
Did you set it up?
What person does that?
You should be ashamed.
- How dare you... - No!
- Don't, sir! - What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Darn you.
Kang Chi Hwan! You deserve to die!
