- Are you happy we had pizza? - Yes.
(Episode 3)
Hey, lady.
Is your husband Park Tae Seob?
- No. - Are you sure?
Yes.
Dad's name is Park Tae Seob.
Where's your husband?
- I don't know. - There's no point in asking.
She already lied to us saying he isn't her husband.
Lady.
Your husband won't pay us back the money he owes.
I know nothing about it.
How could you not know? You guys are married.
Search her bag.
- Let's see. - No, don't. What are you doing?
- No, you can't take this. - Let go.
You need to at least pay back the overdue interest.
- No, not this! Let me go! - Mom!
No, you can't take that.
This is what saved your life today.
Let's go.
Min... Min Ho?
My goodness, Pil Jeong.
What in the world happened?
Don't cry. Pil Jeong.
Were they after your husband?
They took every single penny including our security deposit.
What a bunch of monsters.
You must've been startled.
It's okay. We're okay now.
I'm sorry you keep having to see horrible things.
I don't know how I'm going to get by, Ms. Kim.
What are you going to do with Park Tae Seob?
Are you going to give him the money?
Money isn't the problem.
He'll ask for money again...
even if we pay him this time around.
He'll live off us like a parasite.
He'll suck out...
everything he can from us until the day we die...
or until your father finds out that you have a son.
I get the creeps just by thinking about it.
We were easy on him until now.
But that won't do.
We'll have to teach him a lesson.
How?
I'll come up with a way.
Cheers.
- Who is it? - My mom.
You should pick up.
She probably called to talk about the blind date.
"Blind date"?
With the eldest son of LX Group's chairman.
Are you going to go?
Should I?
You should go if you want.
Do you really mean that?
Then I should go home early...
and take care of my skin before tomorrow's blind date.
Don't get upset.
I know you won't go.
How is the divorce going?
I don't think I'll be able to settle.
But if you take things to court, it'll take some time.
Who cares about the divorce?
What matters is that you're the woman I love.
Being your legal wife is different from being your girlfriend.
I'm tired. Should we go upstairs?
Don't go, Mom.
If you're going to go, take me with you.
Min Ho.
Mom, were you going to run away?
No, that's not what I was going to do.
No, that's not it.
I'm sorry, Min Ho.
I must've been out of my mind.
I'm sorry, my son.
I'm so sorry.
What's that?
This is the biggest sword I have.
What are you going to do with that?
I'll protect you with this.
From now on, I'll carry this around...
and make sure no one hurts you.
You wouldn't have gotten hurt yesterday...
if I had this with me.
What?
Come here. Let me hug you.
You make me feel so reassured.
I'm not scared anymore.
But didn't you say you're going to protect me?
You can't just leave your sword on the ground.
Oh, right.
I was completely nuts yesterday.
Don't you have to go somewhere?
Yes, I know. But I had to finish teaching first.
Hurry up and go.
You're going to go there looking like that?
Yes.
I know you're filling in for me,
but you can't wear a sweatsuit. Don't make me lose my face.
If you're so bothered, why don't you go yourself?
You asked me to go because you don't want to date him.
Then it's better to make him lose interest.
That's my big picture.
What's taking him so long?
Dad organized this blind date,
so she must look refined.
And she's probably pretty, too.
I know for sure that it's not her.
- Hello, are you Lee Eun Ju? - No, I'm not.
Are you Kang Suk Hwan?
Excuse me.
Hello, I'm Lee Eun Ju.
Are you really Lee Eun Ju?
Yes, I teach at Yumin Middle School.
Are you really here on a blind date?
I came right after class.
"Class"?
Yes, I teach PE.
- You're a PE teacher? - Yes.
- Hello? - Did you meet her?
- Yes. - How is she?
Do you really want to know?
No, forget it. Just get out of there when you can.
Excuse me. I need to go to the bathroom.
Okay.
She's not Suk Hwan's type.
Hey.
Is everything going well?
I'm here as a substitute.
So there's not much to do.
I'm going to go back to school now.
Already? Is he that horrible?
I don't know him that well, so I have no right to judge.
Make sure he doesn't notice.
I'll do my money's worth, so don't worry.
Hey, Jin Kyung. I just got here.
Yes. Okay, I'll be right there.
Judging by the look on your face, you don't seem to like me that much.
And I have some work left at school, so why don't we go now?
The coffee here is expensive, so let's pay for ourselves.
Okay.
Suk Joon.
Who is she?
Well, the thing is...
I'm here as a substitute.
So there's not much to do.
Don't tell me you came here as Suk Hwan's substitute.
"Substitute"?
- Let's talk outside. - I don't get it.
How could he ask you to come here when he knows about us?
I'll be off now.
Let's go.
He's unbelievable.
He was also a substitute?
Don't tell my dad.
If he finds out, Suk Hwan will get a scolding.
It doesn't matter. She was a substitute as well.
She was a substitute?
I overheard her talking to someone on the phone in the bathroom.
She got paid to come here.
I get that your brother asked you to do this,
but shouldn't you have asked me beforehand?
I'm sorry.
If you're sorry, buy me dinner.
I'll tell my friend I need to go.
Okay.
No wonder.
"A substitute"?
It made me feel less sorry.
What?
He sent a substitute because he didn't want to meet me?
I guess you guys clicked.
Hello?
What do you think? Are you guys having fun?
What's the point of having fun with a substitute?
"A substitute"?
He sent someone else to fill in for him.
I'm done going on blind dates.
How dare they send someone else? What do they think of us?
I don't care how rich they are.
They've crossed the line.
Ms. Hong.
Do they think so little of us?
How could they send someone else to the blind date?
Yes, someone else showed up instead of Kang Suk Hwan.
I don't usually feel this way when I meet you
But I left home feeling nervous
The weather was nice, and I felt great
Everything was just perfect
Let's go!
(Pil Jeong)
My goodness. Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Is this 911?
(Hyeju Hospital)
Hello, doctor.
He has pneumonia.
He'll have to get hospitalized and receive treatment.
Will he get better then?
Yes, of course. Don't worry.
You need to go through the hospitalization process.
Okay.
Let's do this!
(Pil Jeong)
- Get up! - Get up!
My son
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed...
It's me, Pil Jeong.
Pil Jeong.
- Ms. Kim. - How is Min Ho?
He has pneumonia, so he needs to get hospitalized.
I'm sorry I woke you up.
That's the last thing to worry about.
You told me you need to get him hospitalized. Hurry.
Okay.
- You should go home now. - Okay.
I'm sorry I always ask you for help.
I'm actually grateful...
that you call me whenever you're in need.
You remind me of my younger days.
It aches my heart.
I'm so proud that you always try your best to raise him,
but at the same time, I also feel a bit sorry for you as well.
It's my job.
Yes.
That's what a mother should do.
That's what makes you a true mother.
Sometimes, I even thought of running away...
because I felt so burdened...
to endure this difficult life.
I...
ran away.
I also had a child.
I just never got to raise that child myself.
I had no idea.
No matter how hard things were,
I never should've given up my child.
I'm sure that child is living a happy life right now.
The person who struggles the most...
is the person who righteously deserves to be happy.
- Really? - Yes.
So just know that good days will come.
Thank you.
Did you call your husband?
He won't pick up.
Keep calling.
He's still the father, so he should know.
What? What did you say?
I run all day and save lots of people
What do you want?
Where are you? Min Ho is sick.
What? I can't hear you!
I'm Superman
I'm charming and handsome
Be quiet! I'm on the phone!
Who's calling?
Why don't you just come over here and join us?
It's not a friend.
I'm busy! I'm going to hang up now!
I'm Superman
Be careful of fakes
I'm sorry. I need to go somewhere for a little while.
Okay, I'll stay here. You can go.
Thank you, and I'm sorry.
You've said that enough. Now, get going.
- Be careful. - Okay.
You're a lucky boy.
You have a great mother.
Let's go somewhere far away for vacation.
Of course.
Pil Jeong.
Hurry up and say what you want to say.
Mr. Kim is married.
Did you just smirk?
So are you going to call this an affair?
We're in love, so what does that matter?
You know nothing, so don't even think of judging us.
Cheol Gyu and I are in love.
- He's going to get a divorce. - You really think so?
Everyone at school thinks he's happily married.
Get to your senses. You'll only end up getting hurt.
Let's go for another round.
- Let's go! - Stop being so nosy.
Mind your own business,
and just take good care of your own husband.
- Let's go home. - What do you mean?
- What? - What are you saying?
- Don't talk nonsense. - We're going to keep drinking?
- Hey, stop! - My gosh.
- Let's go. - Are you okay?
- Let's go. - Come on.
Let's just drink like there's no tomorrow!
Isn't that your husband?
He always shows up at school and asks you for money.
But is that why he needed money?
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Hey. - Let's just go!
- Let's drink like we're crazy! - Come on.
- Let's have fun tonight. - That's right.
Honey.
- Okay? - Keep going.
Hurry up. Come on.
Is this why you ignored my calls?
Don't get the wrong idea.
I came here to entertain them for business.
How did you know I was here?
Is that important?
I'm sure you came here for a reason.
Min Ho got hospitalized. He has pneumonia.
He's at the hospital,
but we'll have to pay when he gets discharged.
I gave you money yesterday.
The loan sharks came to our house and took everything!
They took the security deposit and Min Ho's tuition.
Why did you marry me?
What about you? Why did you marry me?
I liked you.
You were kind to me, and you seemed like a nice person.
I thought we could be a happy family...
as I saw you raise Min Ho all by yourself.
But I guess I was wrong.
I didn't know you were this kind of person.
So what are you going to do now?
Are you going to get a divorce?
Is that it?
Okay, fine. I'll be honest with you.
You were the only woman who was willing to raise Min Ho.
To me, Min Ho was a pain in the neck.
"A pain in the neck"?
Other women ran away when I told them I had a kid.
But you liked me even more when you saw Min Ho.
So that's when I knew I should marry you.
You may have liked me a little,
but I know you didn't love me.
I liked you, so I thought I could love you, too.
Okay, fine.
You know what?
I'll make you love me.
I'm not that lousy.
I'll be responsible and take care of both you and Min Ho.
That's exactly why I'm working so hard like this.
Once I'm done with this, should we go abroad?
Where do you want to go?
Just tell me. The States?
Or should we live with your sister in Australia? Just say the word.
Honey, please.
Hey, I'll give you money.
Use this to pay for the hospital bills.
His pneumonia will get better once he gets treated.
- You should check on Min Ho. - No.
He doesn't like me.
He still wants you to come because you're his dad.
I'll visit him later. I'm really busy right now.
I'll call you, okay?
Honey, wait.
Where is Suk Hwan?
Why are you looking for him?
Did you send someone else to your blind date today?
Hey... Hey, Dad.
How could you be so rude?
Do you have no manners?
I'm... I'm sorry, Dad.
Who was it?
Who did you send on your blind date?
Tell me who it was!
It was me, Dad.
It was you?
Dad, let me explain.
Suk Hwan didn't want to go on the blind date.
But you kept forcing him to go.
So he volunteered to go instead. That's why he went there.
I guess he wanted to help his brother.
I told him he didn't need to go.
But Suk Joon insisted on going.
That's why he went there.
Is that what happened?
Pardon?
How could you go there on behalf of your brother?
What you did only made me lose face.
I'm sorry.
I want you to call and apologize.
Okay.
You don't need to apologize.
- They also sent... - I should've...
I should've known better.
That's not how you help your brother.
Be careful from now on.
Okay.
Right.
I know you told him to go.
Me?
No, I didn't.
They're unbelievable.
Mom.
It only ended here because you were involved.
If he found out what really happened,
your dad would've kicked Suk Hwan out of this house.
Do you not care that this might make Dad hate me?
You think your dad will hate you?
Never in a million years.
Why are you always taking Suk Hwan's side?
I wanted to make your dream come true,
so I studied hard and passed the preliminary bar exam.
I never asked you to do that.
- Mom. - Your brother is the eldest son.
The eldest son needs to do well...
in order for the family to do well.
It's best for the family for your brother...
to take over the company.
I'm not interested in the company.
Do you really mean that?
Why are you always so dissatisfied with me?
I'm even dating Hye Jin...
because I want to be the son you want me to be.
Your father was more eager to get you and Hye Jin engaged.
But you wanted me to date her, too.
That's because...
Your dad cares for you a lot.
He's always hard on Suk Hwan and treats him like he's nothing,
but he's always so kind to you.
That's why I'm always caring for Suk Hwan.
It's natural to care more for the child that doesn't do well.
Is that...
really why?
Yes.
Okay, fine.
I'll also help Suk Hwan...
take over the company.
You'd better keep your word.
Your dad cares for you a lot.
He's always hard on Suk Hwan and treats him like he's nothing,
but he's always so kind to you.
That's why I'm always caring for Suk Hwan.
It's natural to care more for the child that doesn't do well.
I envy Suk Hwan.
(Mom Has an Affair)
Keep this in mind.
Suk Hwan is going to be the one who takes over LX Group.
- You thief! - No, wait! Mom!
It's me.
Shouldn't you get a divorce if you don't love your spouse?
You're a teacher who teaches kids!
How could you seduce a married man?
Is that what you're going to teach to your students?
- My goodness. - They're going to settle.
See? The stick always works better than the carrot.
If you don't call me within this week,
I'll go straight to the chairman's office next time.
How dare you? You darn punk!
