(Episode 90)
Pil Jeong. Soon Jeong.
It's me.
I'm your dad.
Have you been well?
How dare you show up here? Leave!
I came because I missed you guys.
You missed us?
You've never reached out to us for over 20 years.
And you say you missed us?
We don't need a dad like you. Leave.
Will you please hear me out first?
Oh, my gosh! What a waste of food!
You broke our hearts a long time ago.
Our relationship with you...
ended a long time ago.
Now, leave.
Get out!
Can we please talk?
Will you please... But...
Why did you make him leave without even hearing him out?
Why would I do that?
Isn't it obvious?
He left us and lived the life he wanted.
And now, he came back because he's old.
We don't have a dad.
- But... - Listen to me carefully.
Don't ever let him in again.
Min Ho and Min Ji. Do you understand?
- Okay. - Okay.
Then the guy who followed us was your father?
Yes, I guess so.
He looked very different from how I remember him.
So I had no idea it was him.
But is he really our grandpa?
Did he abandon you and Mom...
just like how my dad abandoned me?
The guy who followed me at night...
was actually Dad.
If he follows you again, call the cops.
How do you expect me to do that?
Did you forget how Mom passed away?
Don't you remember what we had to go through?
I don't know about you, but I remember everything.
I will never forget it.
If you let him in, I'll cut ties with you too.
Soon Jeong, how do you feel now that you've met your dad?
I don't know.
I did miss him.
But I still can't believe he showed up.
But why do you think he suddenly came to see us?
Maybe he just missed his children.
Are you really going to let your dad leave like that?
Tae Woo.
Do you think your mother will allow us to get married...
if we tell her that my dad is back?
It'll be easier to convince my mom.
You want us to do the photoshoot?
Yes.
Instead of doing the photoshoot with just the employees,
I think it'd be nice if we mixed in a few executives...
along with some ordinary people.
If the executives participate,
the products will seem more trustworthy.
That will disappoint the employees who were looking forward to it.
We can do another photoshoot with just the employees...
next month.
Suk Hwan and Suk Joon,
you guys can do the photoshoot on behalf of the executives.
Eun Ju can go on behalf of the employees.
And Hye Jin can go as the ordinary person.
Just let Suk Hwan and Eun Ju do it.
I'm not interested.
If you don't join, it'll be an odd number.
Plus, Hye Jin is pretty good.
It's going to be a new type of photoshoot.
This is regarding the company. Put your personal feelings aside...
and just participate.
You want to do the photoshoot with Suk Joon?
Yes.
Min Ho is Suk Hwan's son.
Are you still going to let Suk Joon date Ms. Oh?
I already told him that I disapprove.
Then can you help me out with Suk Joon?
My dad still has high expectations for Suk Joon.
I want to announce my relationship with Suk Joon to the public.
And I'd like you to help me.
Okay, sure.
Thank you.
(Executive Director Kang Suk Hwan)
Dad is really trying hard to help Hye Jin...
get together with Suk Joon.
I know, right?
Then will I be attending the photoshoot as well?
Yes, I can't wait to do the photoshoot with you.
I'm so excited.
What are you going to do about Min Ho?
Don't worry. Things are going as planned.
We asked our attorney to file a complaint today.
Pil Jeong will get a notification soon.
Make sure the reporters don't find out about this.
Don't worry.
Look at her proudly coming to work...
just because her son chose to live with her.
That won't last long.
Start decorating Min Ho's room.
Okay.
Does that mean the photoshoot with the employees...
got canceled?
Like I told you earlier,
we had to postpone that photoshoot.
If it's going to be the executive director, Ms. Lee,
Director Kang, and Hye Jin,
I bet you guys will pair up and do the shoot as couples.
Probably.
Does the photoshoot with Hye Jin bother you?
No, it's for the company.
So don't worry about me and just focus on the shoot.
You don't look so happy.
Is something else bothering you?
My dad came.
Your dad?
He hasn't even called us for dozens of years.
But he showed up at my house like nothing ever happened.
It's just so hard to understand.
So what did you do?
I kicked him out and told him to never come back.
You can say I'm mean, but that won't change my mind.
He didn't even show up when my mom passed away.
I won't take him back.
I'll send you the money.
I'll get the money from my daughter and give it to you.
Hello?
Darn it.
Money is always a problem.
Min Ho.
What are you doing here again? I'm going to call my mom.
No, wait.
I'm not a kidnapper.
I'm your dad.
I just came because I missed you.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Then take a photo and look at it from home.
Stop coming here like this.
I know there's nothing I can say to make you feel better.
But no matter what people say,
we're father and son. We're related by blood.
Don't forget that.
I don't care if we're related by blood.
We never lived with each other, and that means we're strangers.
You're just a middle-aged man to me.
Who are you? Why are you talking to my grandson?
Min Ho is his grandson?
Why are you still here?
He's the guy I saw earlier.
Do you know him?
Pil Jeong is my daughter.
And he's Pil Jeong's son.
Ms. Oh had a father?
Let's go home, Min Ho.
Mom told you not to come home.
You should go.
My gosh, that rude punk.
Min Ho! Wait for me!
Min Ho.
Let me go.
Mom told you not to come inside.
I just need to go to the bathroom.
- It's Grandpa. - Yes.
What's your name?
Min Ji.
Min Ji, where's the bathroom?
- It's inside. - Oh, really?
My gosh, I really need to go.
Your grandpa came back?
If I called Mom,
she would've gotten angry at me for letting him in.
So I called you instead. What should I do?
What is he doing right now?
He was supposed to leave after he used the bathroom.
But he's eating ramyeon.
"Ramyeon"?
Min Ho, do exactly as I tell you.
You never came until now.
Why did you suddenly show up?
I told you already. I came because I missed my kids.
Your mom and aunt.
But I don't think my mom wants you here.
I know she says that, but she doesn't mean it.
But I have to say, you talk too much and ask too many questions.
My brother is really smart.
He gets good grades in school.
Really?
You look nothing like your mom.
Just eat your ramyeon.
Okay, fine. Gosh, this tastes good.
Hello.
Hey, Yu Kyung. What brings you here?
I just came by.
I'm sure you came for a reason.
Do you have something to say?
By any chance, are you dating my dad?
What?
I saw you guys talking on the phone,
and you even drank with him last time.
We just drank as friends.
Then you guys aren't dating?
No, you came to the wrong person.
"The wrong person"?
Then by any chance,
is it Ms. Oh?
Your grandfather didn't show up again, did he?
No, he didn't.
I can't believe he had the guts to show up here.
I'm sure he came for a good reason.
You could've listened to him before you kicked him out.
I don't even want to hear it.
We did fine without him.
Let's be honest. We didn't exactly do fine.
We had to go through so much for not having a dad.
Exactly.
Where was he when we had to go through all that?
He was with that woman.
Let's drop the subject.
I think it'd be nice to have a grandpa.
He's not a kind person like your grandma.
I agree with you, Mom.
Hey, did you know Ms. Oh had a father?
"A father"?
She has a father?
How did you know?
I saw him when I went to see Min Ho.
You went to see Min Ho?
What did you say to him this time?
Can't I see my own son?
I went to see him because I missed him.
He should do what he can to get close to him.
He may be living with Pil Jeong right now,
but we plan to bring him home soon.
Min Ho chose to live with her.
He might change his mind.
Stop stirring him up when he's already doing fine.
How do you know if he's doing fine or not?
What does Ms. Oh's father do?
Apparently, they haven't been keeping in touch with him.
It's easy to tell that he's not very trustworthy.
He looks like a playboy and a delinquent.
Don't talk about him like that. You don't even know him.
If they never kept in touch, it's pretty easy to tell...
that he's pretty much a stranger to them.
If she doesn't want me to come downstairs,
then she should at least bring me some food.
I'm starving.
My gosh.
I told you to stay upstairs. Why did you come down?
Are you going to starve me to death?
I was just about to bring you food.
Do you have meat?
Pil Jeong will notice right away because of the smell.
And no, we don't have meat.
Then what do you have?
Kimchi stew?
Who puts tuna in their kimchi stew instead of pork?
Be quiet. Pil Jeong will come outside.
Like I told you earlier,
you can only stay until my boyfriend's mother...
allows us to get married.
Okay.
I'll get you guys a house when you get married.
- Really? - Yes.
But how did you know our address?
Well...
I had my ways.
Then why didn't you ever come to visit?
I'm hungry. Let's talk after I eat.
Let's go.
Dad.
Pil Jeong.
What are you doing here?
Did you sneak inside?
I'm sorry, Pil Jeong.
I told him to hide upstairs.
What?
Get out. Get out of my house.
I came to give you guys my property.
Do you still want to kick me out?
I'm quite rich in Jeju.
I own some land and a big house. It's a country house.
Really?
I put it up for sale,
and I'll get at least a couple million dollars.
Once it gets sold, I'll give you guys the money.
I don't need money at my age.
Really?
You believe that?
I came to Seoul only for a while...
because someone wanted to buy my land.
If I can make up for being a bad father by giving you that money,
I'd feel relieved.
You haven't changed at all.
Shouldn't you apologize to us first?
Don't you want to know how Mom passed away?
What's the use of talking about the past?
"The past"?
After you ran away,
Mom collapsed because she was always busy working,
and she passed away without ever getting treated.
The other kids made fun of us...
and called us orphans even though we had a dad.
I thought to myself that it would've been better...
if our dad was actually dead.
I get that you were angry, but how could you think that?
Imagine how hard it must've been for us.
I cheated on your mother once,
but she kicked me out and didn't take me back.
I broke up with that woman and went back,
but she told me to leave.
So I had nowhere else to go.
You actually call that an excuse?
None of this would've happened if your mother...
forgave me just once.
So you're blaming Mom?
Are you still going to let him stay?
I'm not here to stay for good.
Once the land gets sold, I'll give you the money and leave...
even if you ask me to stay.
We don't need your money.
I don't even want to see you, so leave right now.
What a nasty temper.
She's just like her mother.
My gosh.
My goodness.
Are you a fool?
How could you think of forgiving him?
I'm not forgiving him.
I'm just trying to use him.
What?
Tae Woo's mother ignored me so much...
for not having any parents.
She's still against our marriage,
and that's why Tae Woo's been living with us.
If we tell her that our dad came back,
I'm sure she'll change her mind.
So you're going to let him live here?
I also get angry every time I think of the past.
But what difference will it make just by kicking him out?
I even thought of hiring someone to be my dad just like Min Ho did...
and introduce him to Tae Woo's mother.
Soon Jeong.
He's not here to live with us.
So will you please try to understand?
How big is your land?
What?
Where's your country house?
Can I see a photo?
Why do you want to know?
To be honest, it sounds like you're lying.
You little punk. You're too suspicious.
Did you learn that from your mom?
Then are you going to live with us?
Do you want to live with me?
Yes.
After Grandma passed away,
I had no one to spend time with.
Oh, she must be talking about...
the lady who let Pil Jeong move in with her seven years ago.
You're back.
Yes, it kind of happened.
You should sleep upstairs for a while.
And don't do anything to upset Pil Jeong.
Gosh, okay.
I'll go upstairs.
My goodness, my legs. My gosh.
My goodness.
He won't be here for long,
so can you please share your room with him?
Sure.
You can sleep here. I'll sleep on the floor.
What's your name?
My name is Lee Tae Woo.
You told me you're Soon Jeong's boyfriend, right?
Yes.
But why are you living here when you and Soon Jeong...
aren't even married yet?
I left home.
Why?
Because my mom disapproves of our marriage.
Why?
Is it because she grew up with no parents?
That's not the entire reason,
but that did play a part.
I guess that's why Soon Jeong asked me to stay.
Did you forgive your father so your sister can get married?
I didn't forgive him.
I can never do that.
I should also go there to introduce myself soon.
No, there's no need.
I feel embarrassed to introduce him to you.
Gosh, don't think that way.
Even if he's not the best father, he's still your father.
After my mom passed away,
I started to miss everything about her.
He's very different from your mother.
Okay. Good night, Pil Jeong.
What's up?
It's about next week's photoshoot.
You know we'll be doing it together, right?
I can't wait.
It's just work.
Don't overreact.
Yu Kyung said that?
Yes, I was really taken aback.
I'm sorry.
Okay, bye.
What did you say to Ms. Choi?
Then is Ms. Oh the woman you like?
I thought it might be her at first,
but she's seeing the director,
so I thought maybe it might be Ms. Choi.
It's not what you think.
Don't lie to me.
Ms. Oh likes someone else. Are you going to keep liking her?
You went to your daughter's house?
Yes, I kept refusing, but she kept asking me to stay.
What a kind daughter.
Yes, I know.
I think I'll be staying here so I can help...
my second daughter get married.
I see.
I'm free next week. What about you?
If you're okay, I'd like to meet.
Well, I'm busy, but I'll try to make time.
Okay, bye.
Why do you sound so happy?
Gosh, when did you come inside?
You should've knocked or something.
You were too busy to notice that I came inside.
What is it? Do you have something to say?
When is Ms. Oh going to marry Director Kang?
They can't get married because of Min Ho.
"Because of Min Ho"?
I want you gone right after you meet Tae Woo's mother.
But if she doesn't easily approve,
I might have to stay a bit longer.
What?
I should stay until Soon Jeong gets married.
Who knows when they'll get married?
Okay, fine.
I'll leave once they get her approval.
Are you happy now?
I don't understand how he's going to help you.
We'll have to wait and see.
1, 2.
Okay, stand closer. 1, 2.
Okay, great. 1, 2.
You look great right now.
1, 2. Let's take one from over here.
Look over here. 1, 2.
1, 2. Good.
That looks nice, too. Good.
Let me take one from here.
Look over here. 1, 2.
You guys look great. 1, 2.
Okay, good.
Let's see you smile one last time.
1, 2, 3. Okay.
Now, it's your turn. Please stand close to each other.
Come on.
Okay, we'll start as soon as you're ready.
Let's see you guys standing close. 1, 2.
Okay. 1, 2.
1, 2.
Okay. 1, 2.
1, 2.
Sir, you should loosen up a little.
You're too tense. Try to act natural.
Let's go. 1, 2.
Okay. 1, 2.
Great. 1, 2.
- I'm not sure. - Okay, 1, 2.
They don't look so good together.
Sir, your facial expressions are really awkward.
Just a second.
Can't you smile?
I'm trying my best.
Let me go fix my makeup.
Okay, go ahead. Let's take a short break.
- Isn't it tiring? - No, I'm fine.
Wait.
- Are you an employee? - Yes.
Can you stand next to the director for a while?
What?
You guys look good together. What do you think?
No, he needs to do the shoot with Hye Jin.
Sure. Let's try doing it together.
1, 2. Good.
Let's see you do a pose. 1, 2.
Okay, that looks great. 1, 2.
Great. 1, 2.
I love what I'm seeing right now. You look amazing.
Sir, let's see you put on a bright smile. 1, 2.
That's right. Let's try from over here.
Okay. 1, 2. Good.
Great. 1, 2.
Great job. You look fantastic.
Sir, let's see that smile on your face. 1, 2.
That's what I'm talking about. Let me shoot one from here. 1, 2.
Good. That's it. 1, 2.
Nice. 1, 2.
Okay, here's the last one. Everything right now...
looks amazing.
1, 2. Good.
Let's take a few more shots.
Okay, we're almost done. Great. 1, 2.
Okay, good. 1, 2.
That's it. 1, 2.
That's it. Now, look over here. 1, 2.
Good. Okay. 1, 2.
What are you doing?
He was doing the shoot with me.
You both can do the shoot.
Then we'll choose the one that looks better.
Who gave you the right to decide something like this?
What do you mean?
My job is to take good photos,
so I have the right to make this kind of decision.
Okay, let's carry on. Try to show a bit more affection.
My gosh.
It's going to take some effort to make Hye Jin feel better.
My goodness.
Up on that hill
I have a parcel for Ms. Oh Pil Jeong.
- She's my daughter. - Okay.
You need to sign this.
Okay. Thank you.
"Seoul Family Court"?
Why was this sent to Pil Jeong?
"Confirmation of..."
My gosh.
"Confirmation of Paternity"?
What's this supposed to mean?
(Mom Has an Affair)
The court sent you this.
Why did they send you this?
What are you doing?
Please don't hurt Min Ho anymore.
Then are you willing to give up on Suk Joon for Min Ho?
- Get out! - What is the matter with you?
Just get up and leave!
Think about what really matters.
Pil Jeong's father is back?
- If we're lucky, - What are you doing?
we might be able to bring Min Ho without a lawsuit.
You're whom? The executive director of LX Group?
