(A: Mother, B: Son)
(The two are not biologically related.)
(Episode 57)
It says the mother and son aren't biologically related.
Who did you test?
Is this why...
you plucked out my hair?
This test is about me and Suk Joon, isn't it?
I'm sorry.
How did you know?
How did you think of doing this?
How did you know?
It was Suk Hwan. He told me.
Suk Hwan told you?
What are you talking about? He thinks you don't know anything.
He got drunk and told me Suk Joon was born out of wedlock.
He couldn't remember anything after he sobered up.
I see.
Is that why you married Suk Hwan?
Did you choose Suk Hwan...
after you found out that Suk Joon was born out of wedlock?
No, Mother. That's not true.
His sincerity was what moved me.
You were never interested in Suk Hwan before,
and I found it weird when you suddenly changed.
But Suk Hwan was completely head over heels for you,
so I let you him marry you hoping your feelings were sincere.
I love Suk Hwan.
I truly want to help him become the successor.
You're only doing it for yourself.
You just want to become the chairman's wife.
You have so much greed.
I can't believe you were...
cunning enough to ask Mr. Ha about our family.
I just wanted to help you and Suk Hwan.
You might feel that way now.
But when the tables turn, you're the kind of person...
who will turn your back on us.
Mother.
If I put my mind to it,
I can easily make you guys get a divorce.
- What's wrong? - Hey, you're home.
Do you not feel well?
I married you because I love you. You know that, right?
Yes, of course.
Wait.
Is something bothering you?
No, I just feel a bit down.
You're going to a gathering with my mom tomorrow, right?
You'll get to meet the wives of politicians and businessmen.
Once you meet them, I'm sure it'll cheer you up.
It'll help with your work, too.
Okay.
Don't mind what anyone says.
You have me.
Okay?
Thank you.
My goodness.
Do you have something to say?
Mr. Kim, do you like my mom?
Why are you so nice to us?
You weren't like this before.
Is it because you like my mom?
Is that okay?
Yes.
I like her.
Then go ahead.
It's not like I can force you not to like her.
Thank you.
But are you also going to marry her?
What?
I know you're a good guy,
but I'm not sure if you should marry her.
I want my mom to marry someone who can give her a better life.
Thank you for lending me your clothes.
Did you enjoy your date with Min Cheol?
Mom told me.
What do you like about him?
I just feel comfortable when I'm with him.
I feel reassured to know...
that I have someone who's on my side.
Do you also get butterflies and feel your heart flutter?
I can't believe this is happening to you.
I'm so hungry.
Mother, I brought you mangos. You should have them for dessert.
I don't want to see you right now, so take it back.
Mother, will you please believe me?
Just take it back!
I hate seeing you smile...
like nothing ever happened.
Mom.
Why did you want to see me before work?
You should wait a while before you decide to have a baby.
I thought you wanted us to have a baby.
Lots of people get a divorce these days.
Try living with her for a year.
If things are still good, you can have a baby then.
Do you think we might get a divorce?
It'll be harder to get a divorce if you have a baby.
Did you forget how you got blackmailed...
by Park Tae Seob seven years ago?
You can't compare this to that.
We're legally married.
Just because you're married doesn't mean you know everything about her.
I don't care even if she married me because of my background.
I got to marry the woman I wanted to marry,
and that's what matters to me.
What?
You really need to cut down on drinking.
You don't even remember what you say when you get drunk.
What are you going to do?
What... What are you talking about?
My gosh.
My goodness.
Did something happen?
My mom thinks...
we should wait a year before we decide to have kids.
Gosh, does she really think we might get a divorce?
I really don't get it.
I guess she still doesn't like me that much.
I really don't understand her.
Let's just hurry up and have a baby.
Then my mom won't be able to say anything.
Tomorrow's the competition. How do you feel?
I felt so lost at first.
I can't believe the competition is already tomorrow.
You and the kids worked really hard.
And you helped.
Treat me to a meal if you win an award.
Are things going well with Min Cheol?
Yes.
He seems like a kind person. He's very kind to the kids, too.
Did you tell the kids?
I'm going to tell them after the competition.
But I'm worried about how Min Ho might react.
Aren't they pretty close now?
That's why I'm hoping he'll be okay with it.
(Director Kang Suk Joon)
Are you worried...
that Ms. Oh might break up with you...
if you tell her the truth?
I'll do everything I can to convince her not to break up.
I'm not going to lose her.
What about the settlement agreement?
That's regarding the company.
I'm thinking about...
what will be best for the company and her family.
The chairman might get furious when you tell him this.
I should ask what he thinks.
This can't be easy for you since it's regarding the company.
But you seem pretty determined.
So I'm guessing you really like her.
I don't just like her. It's more than that.
Whenever I see her,
my heart aches, and it makes me want to embrace her.
I want to make her feel comfortable in my arms.
Mother
Let me drive you to the gathering.
You don't need to come.
The women there are from powerful and prestigious families.
How will you be able to join their conversations?
And who knows what might happen between you and Suk Hwan?
I don't want to take you there...
and end up having to explain that you guys broke up.
I told them you can't make it because something urgent came up.
But tell Suk Hwan that you went to the gathering.
What did you say to my mother-in-law about me?
I told her you seem very interested in Kim Bok Soon...
and the house in Seogye-dong.
Are you trying to put me through trouble?
No, of course not.
I told her that you seem very concerned about the family.
Bye then.
I need someone to shield me from my mother-in-law.
Suk Hwan isn't enough.
A blind date?
If you're not going to marry Hye Jin,
you should try meeting someone else.
Suk Hwan got married and has settled down.
You should also find someone for yourself.
Are you going to approve...
of the woman I introduce you to?
I think I'll be able to trust your judgement.
Of course.
I want it to be someone who can help you...
spread your wings at work.
If you're seeing someone, you should introduce her to me.
Okay.
Does this mean Pil Jeong might marry Kang Suk Joon...
when I'm being pushed to a corner like this?
You want to recommend Dong Seok as the chairman's doctor?
Yes, my father-in-law is looking for a new doctor.
If Uncle Dong Seok becomes his doctor,
it'll strengthen the relationship between the two families.
And I'd feel a lot more reassured.
That'd be great.
Your uncle used to be a doctor...
for a chairman of a construction company.
Really? Then that won't be a problem.
Do you think Uncle Dong Seok will accept the offer?
If you ask, I'm sure he'll say yes.
My hometown friends are asking me to treat them to a meal...
now that I've become in-laws with a rich family.
Why don't you show up that day and make me feel proud?
I'm in the mood to do that.
Will this do?
Is this the credit card that your husband gave you?
Yes.
I'll be able to put on airs thanks to my son-in-law.
What's up?
Give me your hand.
It's a lucky bracelet.
I know the kids are already good enough,
but it's always nice to have luck.
I was really nervous about the competition,
but this is helping me feel a lot more reassured.
Thank you.
You know I'm always cheering for you, right?
And by the way,
Min Ho came upstairs to talk to me.
He told me I'm free to like you but nothing more.
I think he's worried that I might put you through a hard time.
Min Ho might seem desperate for a rich father.
But it's also because he doesn't want me to suffer anymore.
He wants me to have a comfortable life.
I know.
Are you sure you're okay with me?
Later on, Min Ho will find out...
that money isn't everything.
Do you think you can wait...
until the kids approve?
Of course.
As long as you're okay with it.
You came this early from the gathering?
But my mom isn't home yet.
I wasn't feeling so well, so I came a bit early.
What? Is it bad?
I'm okay now.
The women there are very proud of themselves,
so I bet it was hard to get along with them.
Did everything go okay?
Yes.
Suk Hwan, did you choose a new doctor for your father?
No, not yet.
Then how about my uncle?
He also works at the same hospital as Dr. Choi.
Oh, you're right.
Your uncle is also a doctor.
Yes, he also used to be a doctor...
for a chairman of a construction company.
Really?
I'll tell that to my dad.
Thank you.
Shouldn't we go with you and cheer for the team?
That will only pressure me.
Okay, we'll cheer for you at home.
Good luck, Mom!
- My goodness. - Come here.
Thank you, sweetheart.
It feels like you're the athlete.
I feel even more nervous than an athlete.
Don't get disappointed even if the team doesn't win anything.
Don't ignore our calls like you did last time.
Come straight home, okay?
Okay.
I packed you enough food for you and the kids.
Thank you.
Good luck today.
Thank you.
Let's wish her good luck.
- Good luck! - Good luck!
- I hope you do well. - Good luck.
Bye.
- My goodness. - Good luck, Mom.
My goodness.
Don't be too nervous. Just run like you always have.
I'm still nervous.
The fact that you're participating is what matters.
The track and field team never once won an award,
so no one will get disappointed even if you don't do well.
So don't feel pressured.
Eun Ja.
I want to win an award so I can prove you wrong.
What did I do?
Come to the restaurant after you're done.
I'll make you pizza.
Can I go even if I lose?
Of course. You should come even if you lose.
Good luck.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I'll see you later.
Are you happy that you're making pizza?
Yes, you also enjoyed the pizza I made.
When?
I saw you eat half of the pizza...
that was on the table.
You made that?
Yes.
Let me know if you want it again. I'll make one for you.
Forget it. I had diarrhea after I ate that.
Should we add this in the center?
Yes.
Why don't we pick another color?
What about this one?
This looks good.
The track and field competition is today.
We're creating a logo for the items we'll be sponsoring...
for Choi Woo Mi when she enters the tournament.
- Did you check the samples? - Yes.
Why don't we have a press conference...
before she leaves the country?
Sir?
Yes, sure. Let's do that.
I think that's enough for today's meeting.
Why does he seem so anxious?
She should be done by now. Why isn't she calling me?
Did they lose?
How did it go?
Min Cheol.
Congratulations, Mom.
Did you really come in second?
Yes, we came in second.
We did it!
I did it, you guys!
Great job. The kids must be happy.
Don't even get me started.
We all gathered together and cried.
- My gosh. - I heard Yu Kyung came in first.
Yes, she did the best out of everyone.
I was surprised.
This is great.
Soon Jeong.
Congratulations, Pil Jeong. I knew you'd win an award.
Thank you.
I'll bring you guys pizza tonight.
Okay.
Your aunt is going to bring us pizza.
- My goodness. - Nice.
Cheers.
Congratulations, Yu Kyung.
I had no idea that you'd come in first.
You were the one who motivated me.
I wanted to prove that you were wrong.
My gosh, do you really have to say that?
Anyway, good job.
The fact that they won an award is also good for you too, Eun Ja.
When I saw you guys and Ms. Oh gather together and cry,
it almost made me cry as well.
I've never felt so touched and excited in my life.
Are you sure you can't help her become a full-time teacher?
Will you stop? It's already been settled.
Why do you care so much about Ms. Oh?
You guys won an award,
and I feel bad that she lost her chance.
She seems totally fine about it, so stop worrying about her.
You heard that, right?
If you take one more step, you'll be crossing the line.
Pil Jeong.
Congratulations. You did great.
Thank you.
I feel like the kids did even better thanks to this.
It would've been nice...
if you also got to become a full-time teacher.
I'm satisfied with today's result.
I'm sure I'll get another chance one day.
Yes, you're right. I trust in you.
By the way, where are we going to have our date tomorrow?
Didn't you also tell me that you have something to say?
You know "Beauty and the Beast", right?
The beast who was under a spell turned out to be the prince.
And regardless of that, their love for Belle never changed.
My feelings for you are sincere.
Even if I seem a bit different one day,
my feelings will still remain the same. Don't forget that.
You're not going to turn into a beast, are you?
That'd be much easier.
Then you'd at least pity me.
Who you are doesn't matter.
I know your feelings for me are sincere.
I'll pick you up at your school tomorrow.
Okay.
Let's go.
What is it that you want to tell us?
You see, the thing is,
I like someone.
You like someone?
Who's that? Who is it?
Is it Mr. Kim?
What?
Yes.
Mom, you like Mr. Kim?
Yes, it kind of happened.
I like Mr. Kim.
I heard what you said to him.
It's not that I don't like him.
I know.
But Min Ho,
I think our emotions are more important and precious...
than money.
Are you saying you love him?
Mom, you should get married.
My teacher told me that when you're in love,
you need to get married.
She only said that to you because she's a teacher.
No, people really do get married when they're in love.
Right, Mom?
You want to reduce the size of the cultural center?
Yes, the world economy isn't doing so well.
If something happens with our foreign capital,
then it'll put a toll on us as well.
We might have to stop our entire project.
Don't you think you're overthinking it?
According to my research, a few of the top companies abroad...
have already started showing bad results.
We need to reduce the size of the project...
in order to have control when a crisis comes.
So are you saying we should reduce...
the construction site in Seogye-dong?
If we save that much money,
we'll be able to pay off the overdue wages for our branches overseas.
I've also come up with a solution...
to the problem that will arise due to the change of plans.
I feel like you're doing this...
just so you could help them keep their house.
Protecting the house in Seogye-dong...
is also a way for us to protect the company.
It's all been decided already.
Did you move in there only to tell me this?
Dad.
(2nd Place, The 40th Middle School Track and Field Competition)
You did great, Ms. Oh.
I wasn't expecting anything, but you brought us an award.
It's all thanks to the kids.
But you still can't become a full-time teacher.
You know that, right?
Then will I at least be able to renew my contract next month?
I'm not sure.
Let's see when the time comes.
Hello?
Oh, hello.
We'd like to discuss something with you regarding Choi Woo Mi.
Can you come to the office?
If you wait for us in the lobby, we'll go pick you up.
Okay.
She's going to come.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Oh.
We came in second thanks to you.
No, it's because you guys did well.
I could've come in first if I tried a bit harder.
Dae Geon, you did great.
Can you coach us for the next competition as well?
Sure. Anytime.
It's time for you to go to class.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
Let's go.
You did great, Ms. Oh.
Thank you.
I felt very reassured thanks to your support.
Yu Kyung became a better person thanks to you.
I should be the one to thank you.
If you have time, why don't we drink tea together?
I'm sorry, but I need to go somewhere.
- Bye then. - Okay, bye.
I'm here.
Yes.
(Kim Min Cheol)
Let's not call him. I'm going to meet him later anyway.
It's Min Cheol.
Director.
I need you to sign something for me.
"Director"?
Why did she refer to you as the director?
Tell me, Eun Ju.
Is Min Cheol the director?
Yes.
He's Director Kang Suk Joon.
Pil Jeong.
(Mom Has an Affair)
The person I liked was Kim Min Cheol.
That's me.
The person standing in front of me...
is Kang Suk Joon, a guy who lied to me and my family.
He was going to win your favor...
so he could get you to sign the settlement agreement.
- What? - Our business...
requires your house to get demolished.
I'm such a fool.
I thought we might really be destined for each other.
If you really care about Ms. Oh,
you should already be able to tell what's best for her.
I saw her with my own two eyes. It was Kim Bok Soon.
This is her address.
