(Episode 2)
- Bye, Ms. Oh. - Bye, Ms. Oh.
(Soon Jeong)
- Hey, Soon Jeong. - Pil Jeong.
Are you doing well? It's autumn in Australia, isn't it?
Don't keep it in a savings account with a high interest rate.
You can use it if you need money.
What? What do you mean?
I'm saying you're free to use the money I sent.
I can't just use that money.
You worked so hard in Australia to earn that money.
I should keep it so you could open up a small restaurant.
Don't worry about me. I'll keep your money safe.
Just don't tell your brother-in-law.
What are you talking about? He has my bankbook.
What?
Why does Tae Seob have your bankbook?
Where's Soon Jeong's money?
She worked 13 hours a day at a farm to earn that money.
That money wasn't ours to spend!
I signed a contract so I could start a restaurant.
I'll pay her back with interest.
You're crazy. You're not even human!
(Dad)
Is that why Min Ho drew me as a goblin?
You're...
even worse than that goblin.
I've been quiet lately, and that must've bored you a little.
You must want a good beating.
Don't come near me. I swear I won't stay still.
What are you going to do?
Who is it?
It's me.
Pil Jeong?
My goodness, Min Ho's sleeping.
Why don't you just take him home tomorrow?
Pil Jeong.
Can I please stay here tonight?
Shouldn't you apply some ointment on your face?
It's okay.
Does your husband do this often?
He was the one who left those scars and bruises on your back, wasn't he?
Do you remember asking me why I married my husband?
I kept failing the interviews to become a teacher.
And I was working part-time at a restaurant.
My husband was the owner, and he was very kind to me.
He carried the heavy dishes for me, and he bought me gifts.
It was the first time a guy was that kind to me.
That's why you married him?
I found out...
that he had a three-year-old kid which was Min Ho.
And that made me like him even more.
It made him seem different from my dad.
When I was in elementary school, my dad cheated on my mom.
So he just abandoned me, my mom, and my sister...
and just left the house.
My mom had such a difficult life...
and passed away when I was in high school.
Oh, dear.
If my dad didn't abandon us,
my mom wouldn't have passed away like that.
And my sister and I wouldn't have had to struggle so much.
Because of that, I still resent my dad.
I understand why.
So...
I figured I could trust my husband since he didn't abandon his child.
He asked me if I'd become the mother of his child,
and I accepted the proposal and married him right away.
Has he ever told you anything about his birth mother?
He won't tell me.
He always told me not to ask.
So I didn't ask because I didn't want to hurt him.
In the end, that means you married him because of Min Ho.
What made him change so much?
I have no idea.
Nothing's been working out for him...
ever since he lost the restaurant.
And he keeps taking it out on Min Ho.
But he's just a little kid.
A goblin?
Should I really become a goblin?
I'll swing my bat...
and create gold, silver, and jewelry.
A magic bat?
Yes, I have one.
I must've fallen asleep.
You tossed and turned all night...
and finally fell asleep at dawn, so I didn't wake you up.
Come here and eat.
I should go home and get ready for work.
Eat breakfast before you go.
You need to keep your stomach full in order to stay strong.
Thank you.
- Min Ho, come here and eat. - Okay.
Come here. Sit here, Min Ho.
There.
Eat up.
Mom, what's wrong with your face?
- I fell down. - Does it hurt?
I'm okay.
Don't get hurt.
If you get hurt, it makes me feel sad.
My goodness.
This is why people live for their children.
What's wrong?
- Dad. - Hey.
- Where were you all night? - I slept at Ms. Kim's place.
Dad, Mom got hurt.
I'm sorry. Does it hurt?
I'll give Soon Jeong her money back one day.
I'm very upset that my life has to be like this.
But thanks to my son, Min Ho, I think I can find a way.
Min Ho, I'll go make money, okay?
You punk. Go inside.
Are you going back to the gosiwon?
Yes.
- Take good care of Leon for me. - Of course.
I'm going to think he's you and take good care of him.
Thanks.
By the way, why does your mother favor Suk Hwan all the time?
He's my older brother.
Because he's the eldest?
Who cares about that these days?
You're smarter and more good-looking.
If I were her, I'd favor you.
You can't sit on this.
My gosh.
My mom made this for me when I was little.
You still have it with you?
"KSJ"?
Are they your initials?
Yes, my mom stitched my initials herself.
She did?
Every time I get upset at her,
this helps me feel better.
These stitches show me how much she loves me.
Leon loves sitting on top of this.
But you still can't sit on it, okay?
Don't upset your father.
Just go on the blind date and tell him she's not your type.
He can't force you to marry someone you don't like.
He set Suk Joon up with a venture company owner's daughter.
But why not me?
Am I not his son?
No matter what they say,
you're the only legitimate heir of LX Group.
Suk Joon won't be able to marry Hye Jin.
Why would I let that happen?
That darn jerk.
He should rot in prison for 100 years.
Or maybe he should get executed.
What? Are you upset that I'm badmouthing your husband?
This is why...
your husband keeps hitting you.
Have him sent to jail.
I might just call the cops.
I like how you're very resolute.
I'm not being resolute. This is how a normal person should react.
When he first hit me,
I called the cops so that it won't become a habit.
You did?
My husband told them it was a small quarrel.
And he apologized saying it was his first time.
So the cops sent us back home because I wasn't severely hurt.
But I got beaten up even more that day.
Gosh, this is crazy.
Your face is enough evidence...
to get him locked up in jail.
- What about Min Ho? - Min Ho...
Gosh, you're right.
You should've taken the day off.
I'm in no place to take a day off.
Why?
- Because I'm a short-term teacher. - You're a short-term teacher.
Gosh, darn it.
Thanks.
You made me feel a lot better.
Come over and get some rest whenever you're having a hard time.
Okay.
(Infirmary)
Good morning.
What happened to your face?
I fell down during PE class yesterday.
You should've been more careful.
I know. I tend to be very clumsy.
Have a good day.
It looks like you got beaten up.
I just told you that I fell.
I guess you're right.
You'd never let anyone beat you up like this.
Do you want to do a part-time job?
A part-time job?
You want me to go on a blind date?
Just spend some time with him and go home.
No, why would I go there?
200 dollars. I know you like money.
No, I don't want to lie.
300 dollars.
That's how much Min Ho's kindergarten tuition costs.
Do you really not want to do it?
Fine.
350 dollars.
Deal.
It must be someone from a decent family.
Why don't you want to meet him?
That's none of your business.
Nothing's going on between you and Mr. Kim, right?
No, there's nothing going on. Why do you keep asking?
You guys just seem really friendly with each other.
Can't I be friends with my colleague?
No, that's not what I meant.
Stop being so nosy and just take care of yourself.
Make sure you cover that bruise with some foundation.
(General Manager Kang Suk Hwan)
Did you ask for me, sir?
About that place where we're trying to build a distribution center.
I want you to do a background check on those who refuse to settle...
including all their families.
Find out if they have any debts or are suffering from an illness.
See if anyone is an ex-convict as well.
I need to know their weaknesses to negotiate.
Okay, sir.
Sincerity, my foot.
But is something bothering you, sir?
I have to go on a blind date, and I really don't want to go.
But my dad wants me to go, so I can't refuse.
If the chairman set you up himself, she must be a good catch.
That's how it should be, right?
But you won't believe this. She's a teacher.
Maybe she's from a prestigious family.
Then I wouldn't be here complaining.
Gosh, if I don't go,
my dad will get furious with me.
Do you know what she looks like?
He says I should see for myself.
That probably means she's ugly.
Then why don't you ask your brother to go instead?
Suk Joon?
She doesn't know what you look like either.
So make him go on your behalf.
Then just tell the chairman that you didn't like her.
And even if the chairman finds out,
you won't be the only one who gets scolded.
So you think we should make Suk Joon become an accomplice?
That's right.
Gosh, you're very smart, Mr. Ha.
I can even sacrifice my life for you, sir.
My gosh.
Don't sacrifice your life. That's too much.
You want me to meet her instead?
Just have some tea and go home.
I'll take care of the rest.
Dad wants me to go, so I can't refuse.
But I really don't want to go.
So you should help me out.
Dad has a great judge of character.
I'm pretty content with Hye Jin even though our parents set us up.
Hey, if he set me up with a woman like Hye Jin,
I'd go meet her in an instant.
You're going to help me right?
Just meet her and drive her to school afterward.
Do I need to do that?
Hey, you need to keep my face.
- Hey, Mom. - Where are you?
- I'm outside. Why? - Come to the office right now!
Mom...
My gosh.
Good luck.
(Vice-chairman Kim Hae Jeong)
Mom.
What's wrong?
Long time no see, Mr. Kang.
What are you doing here again?
We're close enough to keep in touch.
This isn't what you promised.
You didn't want me to visit you again,
so I was on my way to the chairman's office.
But my legs naturally brought me here.
I guess I'm just used to coming here.
Your grandson is growing up very well.
I don't have a grandson.
I'm really glad to see you guys since it's been a while.
But I feel sad that you don't seem to feel the same way.
Are you here to ask for money again?
You must understand me very well.
I didn't even need to tell you why I'm here.
We already gave you a million dollars.
You spent all that money already?
Oh, come on. The moment I talk,
you'll no longer be the successor of this company.
So don't make such a fuss over a million dollars.
What?
You darn jerk. How dare you?
What do you think the chairman will say...
once he finds out you got a woman pregnant...
and abandoned your son at an orphanage?
I want to start a business, but I need more money.
- I won't ask for much. - 100,000 dollars?
A million dollars?
You want a million dollars in cash?
I'll just take 100,000 dollars today.
- I want the rest within two weeks. - Hey!
- Are you here to collect money? - How did you know?
My life got ruined because of you!
- So you should take responsibility! - What?
Who's this?
Aren't you Secretary Park?
Hello, sir.
You used to treat him like your right hand man.
That's nonsense.
I truly cared a lot about her.
I've actually been meaning to meet you, sir.
Me?
Do you have something to tell me?
I didn't even get to say goodbye when I quit.
So I wanted to apologize.
That's why?
What matters is that you're doing well.
What do you do these days?
I run my own business.
Really? What kind of...
What brings you here?
Did you want to talk to me?
No.
I heard some noise while I was passing by,
so I came in to see what's going on.
- I'll leave you guys to talk. - Okay.
I'll see you again, sir.
What?
Sure.
I even got to meet the chairman today.
I think my job for today is done.
But she told me she couldn't reach Secretary Park.
Mom, wait! Stop!
Mom, what's wrong with you?
You're unbelievable. You're the source of all this!
This happened ages ago. Why are you so worked up about it?
We'll get dragged around by him throughout our entire lives!
This is why I told you to be careful of women!
What can we do now? She already gave birth to him.
Who knew she'd suddenly show up with a kid?
You still haven't learned your lesson, have you?
So that's why you slept with a bar hostess?
We just need to make sure Secretary Park doesn't talk.
She also took the money we gave her and went abroad.
We ended up with someone way worse than her.
What's the point of complaining at this point?
- Are you going to pay him? - What else can we do?
Do you have another solution?
No.
You'd better watch who you sleep with from now on.
That'll be the end of both of us.
Okay, fine.
By the way, why is Dad so hypocritical?
He also slept with someone else and had Suk Joon.
So why would he take everything away from me...
if he finds out I got a random woman pregnant?
That's exactly my point. He's completely senile.
That darn old man.
I'm sorry, Su Yeon.
It's okay.
I'm glad you didn't get severely injured.
Don't worry, Jae Seok.
Su Yeon!
My goodness gracious.
Look at your face.
Hello, I'm Oh Pil Jeong, their PE teacher.
She tripped while playing soccer during PE class.
"Soccer"?
You even make girls play soccer?
The students get to choose...
what they want to play regardless of their gender.
And Su Yeon chose to play soccer.
Why would you play soccer? You're a girl.
What if that leaves a scar on your face?
I don't think it'll leave a scar.
You're not a licensed doctor.
Kids run around and play sports in PE class.
This kind of injury is very common.
So what? You think this is nothing?
Was it you?
I'm sorry.
"Hwang Jae Seok"?
You're the kid who lives with his grandmother, right?
Is that why you're so rough?
She just fell while playing soccer.
Su Yeon forgave him...
because she knew he didn't do it on purpose.
And Jae Seok is a very quiet and calm student.
- When kids play soccer... - She can no longer play soccer.
Mom.
I like playing soccer.
You can't do everything you want.
I'm going to take her to the hospital.
Ma'am.
You're a short-term teacher, aren't you?
You can quit whenever you want.
So you probably don't care whether the kids get injured or not.
You're crossing the line, ma'am.
How so?
Even if I raise my kid well,
I believe my kid can always get hurt...
if other kids weren't raised the same way.
Because we live among other people.
Other kids need to be raised properly...
in order for my kid to become happy as well.
I may be a short-term teacher who can quit whenever I want,
but I always keep that in mind as I teach my kids.
Don't worry about my kid.
Just worry about your own kid.
Let's go.
She's unbelievable.
Parents are always the problem.
There's nothing wrong with the kids. It's no wonder people say...
it's all because of their parents.
(Infirmary)
Jae Seok.
You scored two goals today, didn't you?
Great job.
You said your dream is to become a soccer player, right?
Yes.
You're very athletic.
So I'm sure you'll become a great soccer player.
You're very good at shooting goals.
If you want to transfer to a school with a soccer team,
I'll write up a recommendation letter for you.
- Really? - Yes.
I bet you'll be better than Son Heung Min.
I hope you don't forget me when that day comes.
Thank you, Ms. Oh.
So don't let this bring you down. Cheer up!
I'll cheer up!
- Mom! - My sweetheart.
- Hello. - Hi.
Come here, Ah Yeong. My goodness, you're adorable.
Hello.
Min Ho.
Were you okay today? You had a cold.
Yes.
You have a slight fever. Let's go home and get some rest.
Min Ho!
What brings you here, honey?
We should eat outside today.
"Eat outside"? Min Ho isn't feeling very well today.
Really?
I wanted to buy you pizza, Min Ho.
Next time.
It's okay, Dad. Let's go eat pizza.
Really?
Then let's go eat pizza.
He never asked us to eat outside.
Why is he doing this when Min Ho is sick?
This looks yummy.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Stop overreacting.
It's normal for kids to get sick from time to time.
Eat up, my lucky charm.
Okay.
Here.
Pay the extra security deposit and Min Ho's kindergarten tuition.
I'll soon be able to pay back your sister as well.
Where did you get this money?
You don't need to know.
I even made the second payment.
Once I pay the rest,
we'll finally have a restaurant of our own.
Honey, I get nervous every time you do this.
Why? I gave you money.
I want you to make money by working hard.
I worked hard to make that money.
What kind of work do you do to get paid this much?
You ask too many questions.
Just spend the money I give you.
This is all for you and Min Ho.
I'm doing this for my family.
Really? I'm going to trust you, okay?
Trust me.
Is it delicious?
Let me deposit the money before I got home.
This is too much money. I don't feel comfortable with it.
My gosh, it's late. Just do it tomorrow.
It takes ages to get to the ATM machine.
Mom, I'm sleepy.
Okay, let's go home.
Come on and get on my back.
My goodness, I've been meaning...
Yes.
What? They went all the way there?
Okay.
Hey, you guys can go home first. I need to go somewhere.
- Where are you going at this hour? - You don't need to know!
Hey, lady.
(We'd like to thank Kang Seo Jun for making a special appearance.)
(Mom Has an Affair)
So you think this is an affair?
Don't label it like that. It's just love.
Is this 911?
Why did you marry me?
You were the only woman who was willing to raise Min Ho.
Someone else showed up on behalf of Kang Suk Hwan.
It doesn't matter. He was a substitute as well.
What are you going to do with Park Tae Seob?
He'll ask for money again even if we pay him this time around.
We should teach him a lesson.
Hey, lady. Is your husband Park Tae Seob?
