(Episode 4)
Did you call and apologize?
It's too late. I'll do it tomorrow.
Fix another date.
They're already pretty upset. It just wasn't meant to be.
Just forget about it.
That darn punk.
He's your son.
You should at least set him up with someone...
who's from a similar family as Suk Joon's fiancee.
You treat Suk Hwan like he's the one who was born out of wedlock.
Suk Hwan honestly doesn't even deserve to date a teacher.
Have you forgotten the things he's done?
He always dated weird girls...
and ended up going to the police station.
Imagine what would've happened if he got one of them pregnant.
I would've kicked him out without letting him inherit a single penny.
You should give up Suk Hwan.
He's not good enough to fulfill your dreams.
Then what about Suk Joon?
I actually gave birth to Suk Hwan.
Suk Joon is just as precious to me as Suk Hwan.
No.
You act like you only care about Suk Joon.
I haven't told Suk Joon...
the secret behind his birth because you forbid me to tell him.
But keep this in mind.
Suk Hwan is going to be the one who takes over LX Group.
I made myself loud and clear.
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.
Are you up? How do you feel?
I'm okay now.
That's a relief.
Where is Dad?
He dropped by while you were sleeping.
- Really? - Of course.
Should I call him for you?
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
He must be too busy to pick up the phone.
Forget it.
Don't be sick.
My heart aches whenever you're sick.
I'm not sick anymore.
My gosh, why did it have to be Pil Jeong?
I hope she hasn't told anyone at school.
I'll see you after work.
What do you want?
He's the son of Hangang Construction's chairman.
This time, I even got his photo for you.
So you'll be able to find him right away.
Mom!
I need to restore my pride.
I can't just end it like this.
How dare they send a substitute? What does he think of me?
LX Group is nothing.
If things work out with this guy,
they'll regret losing you for sure.
You'll be meeting him this weekend. Just keep that in mind.
Don't let it hurt your pride.
I also sent a substitute.
What?
We both did the same thing.
So stop trying to set me up on a blind date.
Then bring me a guy.
Stop telling me to mind my own business.
Bring me someone who has a better background...
than LX Group or this guy right here.
I'm trying hard, so you just wait.
Who in the world is she seeing?
Why does she need to try so hard?
Well, I'm glad to hear that Eun Ju also sent a substitute.
That makes me feel so much better.
Your mom must be really tired.
Did your dad come?
- Ms. Kim. - Get some more sleep.
No, it's okay.
I have no idea why I fall asleep so easily these days.
Why don't you ask the school...
if you could take the day off?
I'd love to.
But I can't miss work if I want my contract renewed.
I hope you become a full-time teacher soon.
Have a bite before you go.
It's okay.
The caregiver needs to eat well.
If I had a mom,
I bet she would've been just like you.
Then think of me as your mom.
I'll think of you as my daughter.
Thank you.
Stop thanking me.
It's not pleasant to hear you thank me all the time.
Here. Eat up.
There.
Let's eat.
What's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?
I'm sorry. I don't feel very well these days.
I'll just go home, get changed, and go to work.
Okay then.
Oh, gosh!
Are you finally awake?
Have you lost your mind?
What... What are you doing here?
You told me you're drunk and asked me to bring you home.
Then... Then you should've left right away.
You told me to sleep over saying it's too late.
I... I don't remember anything. I just slept.
He's right. We went straight to bed last night.
You expect me to believe that?
Your son is sick at the hospital right now,
and this is what you do behind his back?
Honey, wait! Honey!
Can we talk?
Go ahead.
You're not going to tell anyone about me and Cheol Gyu, right?
No, I won't.
Instead, you should break up with him.
I'll do what I want. Just act like you don't know anything.
Don't try to ruin someone's family.
Shouldn't he get a divorce if he doesn't love your spouse?
The same goes for you.
Love isn't the only reason why people choose to stay married.
My gosh, I don't want to know, so stop nagging at me.
You just need to stay still.
Then I'll give you a perfect score for your evaluation.
Are you trying to bargain with me?
It'd be great to get your contract renewed.
And it'd be even better if you become a full-time teacher.
You'd better think wisely.
So this is...
That makes...
(General Manager Kang Suk Hwan)
Come in.
What's up?
We finally settled with the residents.
What? Really?
We threatened them with their weaknesses,
and that finally got them to settle.
See? The stick always works better than the carrot.
I should report this to the chairman right now.
Good work.
Thank you.
They finally came around...
because you took Suk Joon's advice.
I did exactly the opposite.
The construction is going to begin soon.
And in order to supervise the construction site properly,
he needs to more than just a general manager.
You should promote him and let him be a director...
so he can proceed with a bigger responsibility.
That way, people at the site will listen to me.
You still have more to learn.
Watch the overall process of the construction.
You'll have a lot to learn from that.
Does that mean I need to be the general manager...
until the distribution center is built?
You'll have a strong foundation if you start from the bottom!
But still...
Gosh, okay.
You'll just have to listen to your father...
and learn more.
Suk Joon is studying hard for the exam.
So call him over from time to time and buy him some good food.
Gosh, this is crazy.
I might stay as the general manager forever.
Just wait.
For how long?
Suk Joon is so close to passing the bar exam.
But I've been a general manager for three years.
Just make sure you successfully build the distribution center.
If you manage to do that,
I'll make sure you become a director no matter what.
When I'm home, I have to bear with seeing Suk Joon.
When I'm at work, Dad treats me like I'm useless.
And during my free time, I get blackmailed by Secretary Park.
Gosh, I might just go crazy.
Don't worry about Park Tae Seob.
I'm trying to come up with a way.
Really?
Just try your best to please your dad.
Call Suk Joon and treat him to a meal.
Forget it.
I might get indigestion if I eat with that punk.
- Hey, Ms. Kim. - Min Ho got discharged.
The doctor told me he could go home...
because he's a lot better now.
Then you should've called. I would've gone myself.
Then you would've had to come during class hours.
I took care of the discharge procedure...
after I heard he's doing better.
So don't worry...
and come home after work.
- Thank you, Ms. Kim. - Stop thanking me.
My gosh.
What are you doing here again?
I want to know when I'll be getting the rest of my money.
I told you to wait for my call.
You have until this week.
If you don't call me within this week,
I'll go straight to the chairman's office next time.
How dare you?
Hey, you're the successor of LX Group.
You shouldn't be so rough like this.
Do you want to die?
Are you sure you have the guts to kill me?
Gosh, you little jerk.
I had no idea you were such an evil jerk.
I can't be worse than you.
I want my money! You have until this week.
I trust that you'll pay. I'll be off now.
Who was that guy?
You don't need to know.
It sounded like he was asking you for money.
- Did you cause trouble again? - Hey!
What do you take me for?
I don't like the looks of that guy.
Let me know if you need help. I'll come running whenever.
I'm your older brother!
How dare you act up?
Who is Lee Eun Ju?
She's teaching right now.
- How can I help you? - That's good.
Let me see the face of the woman...
who seduced a married man.
Honey, what are you doing? You're embarrassing me.
I'm embarrassing you?
I feel like a fool to have trusted you all my life.
And you tell me you're embarrassed?
I'll show you what it really means to get humiliated today.
Honey. Honey, wait.
Get out of here. Leave.
Are you Lee Eun Ju?
Yes, I am.
- Honey. - My gosh, are you crazy?
What's the matter with you?
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?
Honey, this is a misunderstanding. Please stop.
Let me go! Let go of me!
I wouldn't have started this if I was going to let go!
Who do you think you are?
I'm Kim Cheol Gyu's wife.
I have every right to do this!
Honey, you're mistaken.
Will you please stop?
Please calm down. Let's talk about this at work.
Are you still going to deny it?
It's a photo of you coming out of the hotel after you slept together!
We only talked at the coffee shop.
There's nothing going on between us.
How am I supposed to believe you?
You're going to doubt me just because of a single photo?
- I want an apology. - "An apology"?
How could you be so brazen?
I guess you haven't had enough!
I was...
also at the hotel.
You were also at the hotel?
Yes.
How can I believe that?
Isn't there one more person in that photo?
Then...
is this you?
We had a few drinks together and were on our way out.
Are you serious?
That photo shows I was there.
If you go any further,
you might get sued for slander.
I think you should stop now.
But you said you had coffee with her!
We had coffee to sober up. Then we said goodbye.
See? I told you nothing's going on.
I'll destroy your life if you ever cheat on me.
I'll torture you until the day you die.
Do you understand?
You're all I have.
My gosh.
Is it true that Mr. Kim had an affair with Ms. Lee?
Why do you think Mr. Kim's wife came to school...
and yanked at Ms. Lee's hair?
But didn't Ms. Oh tell her that she's mistaken?
They're friends, so she probably just helped her.
Friends, my foot.
Ms. Lee totally looks down on Ms. Oh.
You're right.
If I were Ms. Oh, I would've used this chance to get back at her.
It's time for class. Why are you still here?
We're on our way.
End it before things get worse.
Why did you lie?
Then should I tell them the truth?
Do you feel superior after seeing me get humiliated...
in front of all the other teachers?
Did you help me so you could feel good about yourself?
That's probably what you would've done, but not me.
You saw how Mr. Kim couldn't say anything to his wife, right?
You need to get to your senses.
Eun Ju, what's wrong?
My... My stomach.
My stomach hurts so much.
It's killing me.
Hello. How is she?
- Are you here as her guardian? - Yes.
She had a miscarriage.
Does that mean she was pregnant?
She needs to get good rest for a while.
Laugh all you want.
I had no idea I was pregnant.
So I don't care about the miscarriage.
(Mom)
This little brat.
She never picks up her phone.
What was that?
You thief!
Mom, wait!
It's me, your son.
Tae Woo, is that you?
Yes.
Tae Woo.
What are you doing here?
I received a draft notice.
What do you mean?
What draft notice?
I applied to fulfill my military duty.
What?
A true Korean man...
should go to the military.
Have you lost your mind?
Don't you know I went all the way to Canada...
to give birth to you so you wouldn't have to go to the army?
And do you know how much money we spent on you?
Mom.
I went to school there because that's what you wanted.
But now, I'm going to do what I want.
What about college?
Aren't you going to go to college?
I'll go after I finish my military duty.
Why... Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
You don't have a fever.
Did you injure your head or something?
Tell me. Did something happen there?
I really just came back to go to the army.
Do you want to see me die?
Mom.
You won't die just because I go to the army.
Think of all the moms that are still alive.
Lee Tae Woo!
Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to get some rest.
- Hey! Hey! - That hurts.
My goodness.
Has he lost his mind?
What am I going to do?
- Did you brush your teeth? - Yes.
They're nice and clean.
Your mom's going to be late, so you should go to bed first.
Dad.
Are you Min Ho's dad?
Are you the hotteok lady?
Yes.
Do you know where my wife is?
She told me she's going to be late.
Min Ho, I'll be off now that your dad is here.
Goodbye.
Okay, good night.
Do you have something to say?
Well...
If I say anything, they might get into a fight.
No, never mind. I'll be off now.
Okay.
She's really kind to me.
Wouldn't you prefer to have...
rich grandparents than a grandma like her?
What?
You just wait.
I'll make sure you get a big share once you grow old.
You're going to go home?
I can't just stay here.
The doctor told you to get good rest.
My uncle works here.
If he finds out, he'll tell my mom.
It's exhausting just to think about it.
You're probably elated that you know my weakness.
- But don't tell my mom... - Okay.
I won't tell anyone.
Let me take you home.
I'll just take a cab.
She makes it so hard for me to like her.
I think that was Eun Ju.
Or maybe not.
- Hey, Eun Ja. - Tae Woo came home...
to go to the army.
What should I do?
- I'm impressed. - Don't talk nonsense.
In order to prevent him from going to the army...
Eun Ja, Tae Woo made the right choice.
I support him.
Hello?
Eun Ja.
She never changes.
Eun Ju.
You won't believe what happened.
Tae Woo came home so he could go to the army.
Really?
Hey, Eun Ju!
My goodness.
I feel so upset about this.
But no one cares because it's not their business.
Both his uncle and sister don't care about him at all.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
The woman you saw this morning means nothing to me.
She's just a bar hostess.
Don't eat so much.
If you even gain weight, you'll be hopeless.
I have a question.
What is it?
Can you tell me about Min Ho's mother?
I haven't even seen a single photo of her.
Why do you want to know all of a sudden?
I've always wanted to know.
Min Ho doesn't take after you at all.
So I'm guessing he takes after his mom.
Min Ho is a warm-hearted kid.
So I'm curious to know if his mother was warm-hearted as well.
And it's hard to believe that Min Ho...
is actually your son.
Are you being sarcastic because of this morning?
Life must be easygoing for you,
seeing that you're curious of stuff like that.
To be honest, I want to know how you met...
Min Ho's birth mother.
You must have a lot of free time, but I don't.
Do you know why?
Because I have so much on my mind right now.
But...
Don't ever bring that up again!
Why are you so startled? Aren't you glad to see me?
You should smile at the person you love.
You can't come to my neighborhood.
Didn't you see what my wife did this morning?
I did.
And I also saw you for who you really are.
Let's talk somewhere else.
Are you really planning to get a divorce?
Well, you see...
I need her help...
to win the election.
People like it when married couples...
run an election campaign together.
I'll get a divorce...
after the election. Now isn't the right time.
Eun Ju.
(Mom Has an Affair)
Ms. Lee quit.
I'm a complete mess right now!
- You want to look for the kid? - We need to find him.
I know the right person for the job.
What do you mean I received money?
Are you still going to deny it, Ms. Oh?
Tell me. I know you did this.
Don't jump to conclusions.
You're nothing right now.
Mom's always so cold to me.
He even told me he'll give up his life for me.
If things don't go our way, just get rid of him.
Our unhappy days are over. We're finally going to be happy.
