(Episode 91)
(Seoul Family Court, Complaint, Confirmation of Paternity)
Bravo.
You look as beautiful as Aphrodite.
My goodness, that's nonsense. You're so corny.
You're very good at saying things that women tend to like.
But I won't fall for any of that.
Why don't you come to dance?
I can't dance.
My feet get all tangled up.
"If you get all tangled up, just tango on."
That's what Al Pacino said.
- "Scent of a Woman". - That's right.
I watched that movie so many times.
Me too.
Just a second. It's my daughter.
Hey, what's up?
What? You were in an accident?
Right now?
Okay, I'll wire it to you right now.
What's the matter?
My daughter got into an accident.
And she needs money to settle.
I need to go to the bank for a second.
My goodness.
Oh, gosh.
I forgot to bring my wallet.
It's really urgent.
Can you lend me 1,000 dollars?
"1,000 dollars"?
Yes, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
I don't have 1,000 dollars right now.
Then why don't we go to the bank?
My daughter is desperately waiting for the money.
Let's meet here again tomorrow.
Come on. Let's go.
I'm in a hurry. Let's hurry.
So what if he's the photographer?
How dare he switch the model?
Don't worry.
We'll tell him to use your photos.
You'd better.
Okay.
Suk Hwan, aren't you going to bring your son?
We're going to bring him home.
Once we bring Min Ho,
Father will have no choice but to disapprove of Pil Jeong.
Will you please hurry?
We're in more of a rush.
By the way, when can we start selling our products...
at Max Department Store?
My dad's trying his best to get you guys a deal.
But I think they're being fussy because they're very famous.
So the person in charge wants to decide...
after he comes here and sees the products himself.
We'll have everything ready.
I'm going to upload today's photos on my social media page.
So they'd better make it to the photo book.
Okay?
- Didn't it come out great? - Yes.
I really wanted to do the photoshoot with you.
The photographer must've read my mind.
By the way,
what are you going to do about your father?
We're going to let him stay until Soon Jeong gets approval...
from Tae Woo's mother to get married.
When should I go meet your father?
I don't want you to meet him.
You took care of my mom.
I moved into her house.
She let us live with her.
But still, you took care of her like a real daughter.
Just like you,
I'm going to think of your father like he's my own.
We lived like strangers until now.
You don't need to care about him.
I can't do that. He's your father.
I just wired you the money.
That settles everything, right?
I'll send you the rest sooner or later.
So please do what you can, okay?
My goodness.
What are you doing?
- What are you looking for? - It's nothing.
I just saw you going through my mom's stuff.
- Are you looking for money? - No.
I'm going to tell Mom.
Hey, wait. I just wanted to see how your mother's doing.
That way, I'll be able to help her.
This is all for your mother's sake.
You're a very tiring kid.
She must've had a hard time raising you.
Frankly, I'm disappointed in you.
I feel like Hye Jin is the only one who wants this relationship to work.
It makes me feel upset, and it hurts my pride.
I'm sorry.
Do you really think of Hye Jin as your daughter-in-law?
Of course.
I understand what you mean. Don't worry.
Okay, bye.
I'm going to ask Dad to meet Tae Woo's mother.
I feel like that will make my mom change her mind.
You say you need Dad's help.
But I'm not sure...
how much he'll be of help to you.
He told me he'll buy me a house when I get married.
You actually believe that?
Hey, wait. The court sent you this.
Why did they send you this?
Did they send it by mistake?
(Seoul Family Court, Complaint, Confirmation of Paternity)
What is it?
Min Ho's biological father is going to file a lawsuit?
He wants to take things to court so he can take Min Ho.
Who's Min Ho's biological father?
Did Pil Jeong get married more than once?
Min Ho isn't Pil Jeong's son.
What? But she still raised him?
She thinks of him like her own.
Min Ho also told his dad he wishes to live with Pil Jeong.
My goodness.
Have you lost your mind?
Min Ho isn't even your son,
but you still raised him all these years?
Min Ho is my son. It's none of your business.
How is this none of my business? You're my daughter.
This is why you keep living like this.
Why would you take care of someone else's child...
when you're not even that well-off?
There's a saying that goes, "Humans don't know how to be grateful."
You abandoned your two daughters...
and lived like we didn't even exist.
Do you really think you have the right to say that to me?
Send him to his father.
And ask him to compensate you for his child-rearing expenses.
I want you to leave right now. Go.
What's the matter with you?
Just get up and leave!
- Leave! - Why did you have to get involved?
- Just come outside. - Think about what really matters.
Just stay still. You don't even know anything.
Who is this guy? Who's Min Ho's biological father?
Who is he?
My brother-in-law.
What?
How poor is he to abandon his own son?
He's very well-off.
Then ask him for compensation, and let him take his son.
Will you please just stay out of it? You don't know anything.
It's pretty obvious. I can tell what's going on.
No wonder I couldn't find...
anything similar between him and Pil Jeong.
They have a lot in common.
You're just here to help me get married.
So don't get involved in Pil Jeong's business.
My daughter got into an accident.
And she needs money to settle.
Oh, gosh.
I forgot to bring my wallet.
It's really urgent.
Can you lend me 1,000 dollars?
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
He would never.
- What are you doing? - What brings you here?
My mother-in-law asked me to decorate Min Ho's room.
But I don't know where to start.
When do you plan to bring him home?
Pil Jeong would've received the complaint by now.
We'll bring him home after the trial.
I'll make him forget everything about Pil Jeong.
By the way, I recently met someone through a friend.
And I lent him money because he told me it was urgent.
Do you think it'll be okay?
How much?
1,000 dollars.
He needed it to help his daughter settle for an accident.
Gosh, you obviously got scammed.
He promised to pay me back tomorrow.
He's a real gentleman.
He's a guy? Are you seeing him?
No, I was actually talking about that person's husband.
Her husband is a real gentleman.
If someone borrows money from someone they just met,
it means that person is a con artist.
You work at a school, and you always spend time with kids,
so you're the perfect person to get scammed.
I'm not that dumb.
Anyway, make sure...
you get your money back tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
Pil Jeong.
Is there something wrong?
They filed a complaint saying they wish to take Min Ho.
My brother did that?
(Executive Director Kang Suk Hwan)
What is this?
Min Ho decided to live with me.
That's why I decided to ask the court for help...
so I can get my son back.
Don't you care about how much this will hurt Min Ho?
- Once he grows up... - No.
I also deserve to get to know him.
I have no memories with him.
And you're blocking us...
from building memories together.
Did you really have to do this?
This is about my son. I want you to stay out of it.
Can't you give Min Ho some time?
He already hates me enough.
Do you expect me to wait until he becomes an adult?
I can't do that.
What are you doing?
The executive director filed a complaint...
so he could take Min Ho.
What?
Min Ho barely managed to accept the truth and calm down.
Please don't hurt Min Ho anymore.
If you convince them to withdraw the complaint,
I'll do anything you ask.
Please stand up.
Then can you break up with Suk Joon?
I can't approve of your relationship...
because of Min Ho anyway.
Suk Joon won't listen to me,
so it's up to you now.
Are you willing to give up on Suk Joon for Min Ho?
If you let me live with Min Ho,
I will.
Can I really trust you on that?
Yes.
Then...
I'll convince Suk Hwan and have him withdraw the complaint.
Once they withdraw the complaint,
I expect you to tell Suk Joon yourself.
Okay.
So what happened?
- Listen. - Okay.
I thought I had pasta sauce on me.
What happened?
That happens to you so often.
- I thought that's what it was. - Wasn't it pasta?
He asked me if it was pasta sauce, and we both burst out laughing.
Was it something else?
- It was hard to tell. - What if it wasn't?
I was so startled.
My gosh.
He kept making fun of me for that.
It was so embarrassing.
I would've felt the same way.
Did you wipe it off?
Are you really going to let them take this to trial?
Once Min Ho starts living with us,
you'll have to break up with Ms. Oh.
Dad.
She won't mix in well with our family.
I personally think Pil Jeong and I are meant to be.
Not just because she took care of my mom,
but it's also because of Min Ho.
You're Min Ho's uncle.
Do you really wish to marry Ms. Oh...
and make Min Ho refer to her...
as his aunt?
That's not important.
Please help Min Ho stay with Pil Jeong.
You're the only one who can make them withdraw the complaint.
Please do me a favor, Dad.
Let's go.
Pil Jeong.
Suk Joon.
Don't worry.
We'll hire an attorney and fight back.
The time you spent raising Min Ho...
and his personal opinion will be enough to keep him with you.
My brother won't win just because he's the biological father.
So don't get too scared.
I'm sorry.
I told the chairman that I'll break up with you.
Don't get swayed no matter what hits you.
Just do your best to protect Min Ho.
Meanwhile, I will...
do my best to protect you.
Did the court send you the complaint?
You won't ever get to live with Min Ho.
We're asking him to come live with his father.
You keep trying to make him cut ties with his father.
But do you think the judges will let you do that?
Your husband was the one who chose to cut ties with his son.
That's why Min Ho refuses to live with him.
You'll lose the trial and end up having to give him up.
If you really don't want Min Ho to get involved in a lawsuit,
just send him over to us.
Do you remember what I told you?
Min Ho only chose to live with you because he feels sorry.
Why is it so hard to reach you?
We're meeting today, right?
"Today"?
You promised to return the money you borrowed.
Oh, right.
But I'm packed with meetings today.
When do you finish your meetings?
Well...
I don't think I can meet today.
I'll call you again.
Hello? Hello? Mr. Oh!
What?
Was Eun Ju right?
It's only been a day.
I can't pay her back so quickly.
If I planned to pay her back in a day,
I wouldn't have borrowed money from her.
My goodness.
Hey, come sit down.
Why are you still here instead of living with your father?
Because this is where I belong. I'm going to live with Mom.
So stop giving my mom a hard time.
You're the one who's giving her a hard time.
Your biological father...
filed a complaint so he could take you home.
What... What do you mean?
If your mom loses the trial,
you'll have no choice but to live with your father.
What are you doing here again?
I met him out front.
Do you know that Suk Hwan and Eun Ju filed a complaint...
so they could take Min Ho?
They filed a complaint?
The court sent her a complaint yesterday.
He just wants to get his son back.
I don't get why this needs to go to trial in the first place.
Is that why you're here?
Soon Jeong's father is back.
He's probably back hoping he could live with them...
now that he's old and penniless.
No, it's the opposite. He has a huge amount of land in Jeju Island.
He put his land up for sale,
and he wants to give that money to his daughters.
Is he staying at Ms. Oh's place?
Yes.
Soon Jeong's father wishes to meet you.
Why?
He heard about how much you looked down on her,
and he's upset about that.
Forget it.
That's not going to make me approve of her.
You looked down on her for not having any parents.
But now, you have no reason to disapprove.
What?
I'll let you know once we fix a date.
If you don't show up,
we'll just go ahead...
and get married by ourselves along with Soon Jeong's father.
That punk!
Why don't you meet him?
He told you he'll protect you?
Suk Joon is such a romantic guy. He's so loyal.
He cares about me so much,
but I told the chairman that I'll break up with him.
He'll understand.
But I'm also shocked that you let your dad live with you.
You used to resent him so much.
He's only going to stay until Tae Woo's mother...
approves of Soon Jeong.
Isn't Soon Jeong angry at him?
I'm sure she resents him, too.
But she still wants his help...
to get approval for marriage.
She must've felt really upset about not having a dad.
But I'm not sure...
if I did the right thing by letting him stay.
What?
You want us to withdraw the complaint?
Didn't you hear me? I told you to let Min Ho decide.
I can't let my son continue to live there.
Let's say you win the trial.
Are you going to force him to move in here?
He'll eventually adjust and get used to the place.
Don't you care about how much that will hurt him?
Why do you only care about Pil Jeong and Min Ho?
Don't you care about Suk Hwan?
If you want your grandson back,
just act like you don't know anything.
I've started decorating Min Ho's room.
We need Min Ho here...
in order for us to start a family of our own.
I told you to wait until he comes around.
Is that so hard to do?
He's so cold to me every time I go see him.
He needs to live with me...
in order for us to get to know each other.
How many times do I need to tell you that you brought this upon yourself?
Tell your attorney that you wish to withdraw the complaint.
If you don't do as I say, I won't forgive you.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Your father has lost his mind.
What should we do?
I'm...
going to do everything I can to bring him here.
He's my son.
Why can't I bring him home?
My goodness.
Darn it.
What do you plan to do?
I just want to barge in there and bring him home.
That won't solve anything.
I don't like Ms. Oh's father either.
He didn't seem very fond of Min Ho.
Pil Jeong's father is back?
I think so.
I ran into him by coincidence, and he looked like a con artist.
He cheated on his wife...
and abandoned his family.
Pil Jeong probably hates her father.
I even heard him talk on the phone.
It looks like he owes someone a lot of money.
I bet he's here to ask Ms. Oh for money.
Really?
Suk Hwan.
If we're lucky,
we might be able to bring Min Ho without a lawsuit.
How?
I came to see the kids.
And your father.
You should meet him next time.
I should still say hello.
- Mr. Kang. - Hey, have you been well?
Yes.
Min Ho, I'm here.
Did the people in Hannam-dong...
file a complaint so they could take me away?
What?
No, there isn't going to a trial.
Who told you that?
Grandpa told me.
Why do they keep ignoring what I want?
You'll be living here with me. Don't worry.
Your grandfather in Hannam-dong won't let things go to trial.
Why did you tell Min Ho...
about the complaint?
It's about him, so he deserves to know.
Stop getting involved. You know nothing.
Who are you?
Hello, my name is Kang Suk Joon.
Hello.
He's going to marry Mom.
Really?
It looks like you all found your partners.
Were you also married once?
Pardon?
No.
You were never married?
And you're still willing to marry Pil Jeong?
Yes.
Just go upstairs.
Okay, fine. You're always so hard on me.
I'm your father, you know.
Don't you think you were a bit harsh?
Why did he have to tell Min Ho?
I feel like things keep getting harder for you.
And that upsets me, too.
If you lose the trial,
will I have to go to Hannam-dong?
That won't happen.
Really?
Yes.
But Min Ho.
There's something I want to ask.
By any chance, did you decide to live with me...
because you felt sorry...
when you actually want to live with your biological father?
What makes you think that?
You're a very considerate kid.
So I figured you might've thought that way.
I want to keep living with you.
But if you happen to change your mind in the future,
just be honest about it with me.
What you want matters the most.
Okay, but that won't ever happen.
Thank you.
I feel a lot more relieved to hear you say that.
I just sent you money, and you're asking for more?
Okay, just give me a few days.
Where can I get money?
I told my mom that your dad came back.
What did she say?
I told her your father wishes to meet her.
She told me she doesn't want to meet him,
but I'm sure she'll show up.
Because I told her...
that we'll get married on our own if she doesn't come.
I guess this is why people feel so reassured to have a parent.
Let's discuss it and fix a date soon.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Let's go.
I want to sleep in Soon Jeong's room.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Pil Jeong's father.
Who?
The executive director of LX Group?
- Come and sit down. - Okay.
Hey, you're that guy who came to see Min Ho.
Yes, I'm his father.
Are you saying you're the chairman's son?
Yes.
You look pretty rich.
But instead of compensating my daughter for raising your kid,
you just filed a complaint? How shameless of you.
Things could change...
depending on your decision.
Pil Jeong won't let us bring our son home.
And we're in a pickle because of that.
I don't get why she won't give him up either.
If you help us bring our son,
we'll pay you...
more than enough.
"More than enough"? How much are we talking?
How about one big one?
One big one?
(Mom Has an Affair)
I'll make sure you get Min Ho.
He's our savior.
Your mother went through so much because of you.
It's time you let her live comfortably.
My real mom is the person who raised me.
I'll make sure she approves of your marriage.
What if she doesn't like my dad?
Mr. Oh?
- I refuse to become in-laws... - Mom!
- with a family of con-artists. - Mom!
I know you're having a hard time because of me.
I don't get why this always happens to the people I love.
I'm the reason why you can't get married to Mr. Kang, right?
