(Episode 53)
Pardon?
What was that?
Mr. Chairman wants to see you.
- I will take you inside. - All right.
Mr. Chairman, she is here.
All right, bring her in.
Welcome.
Are you Mi Ri's mother?
Yes, I am.
It's nice to see you.
I'm Han Tae Ju's father.
I see. Hello.
I'll be very straightforward.
I wanted to talk about our children's marriage with you.
Pardon me for saying this...
on the first meeting.
My stupid son is risking...
his life over your daughter.
Oh, I see.
I told him to pull himself together. But he never listens.
I understand that he is young enough to get blinded by love...
and lose command of himself.
But I don't know what he likes so much about her.
He is anxious to marry your daughter.
What can I say?
No parent can ever persuade a determined child to do otherwise.
He wants to marry her so bad. I have no choice but to let him.
That's why I asked you to come.
I understand.
Did you run the ox-bone soup restaurant for a long time?
Did you run it for about 30 years?
Yes.
I think so.
It's been about 30 years.
It must've been hard for you to lose your husband,
raise three daughters,
and run the restaurant at the same time.
Speaking of which,
if your daughter marries my son,
you don't have to worry about your living expenses from then on.
In short, you may fold up your restaurant...
and enjoy the rest of your life.
What's going on?
Why did Mr. Chairman want to see you?
Mr. Chairman ordered me to marry Tae Ju.
- What? - He wants me to marry Tae Ju.
So what did you do?
Did you reject it?
- No. - Why didn't you?
You should've said no right away and left the place.
I didn't get any chance.
He said it was an order.
I thought you were confident. What are we going to do now?
What now?
I can't put up with this anymore. I'm going to tell the truth.
No, I told you.
It'll be the end of you and me if you do.
Must I marry him then? Should I get married to him?
Reject it.
Reject it now, and leave Hansung Group.
That'll solve the problem.
It's easier said than done, isn't it?
If I reject it,
will you be able to avoid what you're worried about for good?
Mr. Chairman's people. I have them...
You have them under control?
So he'll never find the truth out?
Then why didn't you expect that he'd approve our marriage?
Give me a moment.
I'll go see him, so wait here until I come back.
I need to hear this myself.
I can't wait any longer.
I'm going to tell Tae Ju everything.
Seung Yeon!
You...
I'm done putting up with your childish behaviour.
Think wisely.
Think only about what will benefit you the most.
And stay put. I'll take care of everything.
I...
don't want to live without conscience.
Conscience?
Right.
If you have a conscience,
you better avoid such a marriage.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Do you need time to think?
I doubt you do.
Excuse me. Let me take this call.
- Go ahead. - What is it?
Where are you? Are you okay?
Is everything all right?
It's not like I'm going to die or anything.
You know I won't budge an inch whatever people do to me.
Don't look down on me.
Don't think I'm easy to deal with, punk.
Shut it. I'm hanging up.
I'm having a conversation with someone. Oh, right.
Are you doing okay with making broth?
Keep your eyes open and watch it carefully.
Turn the heat off when it's time.
Don't be forgetful again, punk.
Bye.
This darn punk never listens to me.
Let me go back to the topic.
I'm not so inclined to marry my daughter off to your son.
Pardon?
She isn't so interested in getting married.
And it's not like she's crazy over him.
It's your son.
I don't think I should force her to get married.
Well, that isn't the problem.
What is the problem then?
Their opinions matter the most when it comes to their marriage.
What else is important?
Family backgrounds? Living expenses?
Let me tell you this while I'm at it.
We have no problem making a living.
And it's not like we eat 10 meals a day. We only need 3 meals.
Even if we do,
your son is the one who wants to marry her.
In short, you're the ones in need.
We aren't.
You dared call me in here,
yet you talked about our family's well-being.
Did we ever ask you to take care of our well-being?
Are you telling me to marry her off...
or to sell her off to this family?
The son is decent, but the father is a bit...
My, my.
Goodness, that surprised me.
Your daughter is just like you.
Of course.
She's my daughter, so it's obvious she takes after me.
I apologize if you were offended...
by my sudden request to visit me.
And I'm sorry if anything bothered you...
throughout our conversation.
I'm rough because I'm a businessman.
But I've got an accurate eye for people.
To be honest, I like your daughter very much.
Why don't you marry her off to my son?
And let's strike while the iron is hot.
I'd like to hold their wedding ceremony this month.
What do you think?
Pardon?
Father.
Ma'am.
Hi, Tae Ju.
Well...
I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming.
I see.
What happened?
Why would you look at your father like that?
It's not that I shouldn't meet her or anything.
The elders are here to have a talk,
and this young hot-tempered boy is interrupting us.
Anyway, that's what I wanted to say.
- Let's end our talk here today. - Okay.
Please think carefully about it when you get home.
I hope we meet again as soon as possible.
I'll let you talk with him.
I need to get going now.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Ms. Jeon.
Are you okay?
What? Yes, I'm okay.
I'm truly sorry...
for making you come here all of a sudden.
It's fine.
Let's go. I'll give you a ride back.
No, thanks. I can go alone.
No, please let me.
It's that way.
Okay then.
I'll take you to your house.
I have something to tell you on our way too.
Look.
Do you have any siblings?
You haven't told me anything about it yet.
It's just me.
I actually have a younger brother.
Oh, gosh.
You forgot about your little brother?
That's not it.
He's actually a half brother.
My mother passed away when I was little.
Right, you told me about it before.
It must've been hard for you to go through it at a young age.
It wasn't too hard to be honest.
My aunt raised me instead.
I see.
How grateful of her.
She has done a great job raising you to be a decent adult.
So I think of her as my mother.
Right. If you don't mind,
I'll introduce you to her in the near future.
Oh, right. Did you have lunch?
It's okay. I'll eat at my restaurant.
Let me treat you to a delicious meal.
By the way,
What do you like so much about Mi Ri?
- Pardon? - Why do you want to marry her?
Oh. Well, first of all,
Ms. Kang is good at what she does.
- Okay. - And...
- she's pretty. - Okay.
And if you get to know her,
she's a very warmhearted person.
That's why I liked her a lot from the start.
Isn't she particular?
No, not at all.
She's so cute.
Mi Ri's cute?
Let's be honest. She's not cute.
No, Mother. She really is cute.
Don't you make up things to say.
Like your father said,
you really are blinded by love.
Will you drive carefully? A car's right behind us.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
Watch the road when you're driving.
Don't look at anything else.
Slow down. There's a junction.
- Yes, Mother. - Good.
Now the road's straight. You can step on it.
Yes, Mother.
- I'll drive faster. - Step on it. Let's go.
Mr. Chairman.
What am I in this family?
What is it you want to say now?
I might...
not live up to your satisfaction when it comes to being a CEO,
and I acknowledge that I made mistakes.
But when it comes to the family,
in your dead wife's place,
I can say with confidence that I ran the house meticulously.
Don't drag it on. Keep it short.
And more than anything, Tae Ju.
I raised him better than any mother ever could.
He's upright, hardworking, skilled,
and kindhearted. And I made him that way.
For the past 30 years, I gave my all to raise Tae Ju.
Apart from when he was in the army,
I was always by his side.
Ms. Jeon. What is it you want to say?
Then...
am I not Tae Ju's mother?
My gosh. What is it you want from me?
If so,
then when it comes to his marriage,
shouldn't you at least ask for my opinion?
How could you leave me, his mother,
out of the discussion about my son's marriage?
"Mother"? "Son"?
Is that what you said, Ms. Jeon?
Yes.
Until now, that's how I considered our relationship...
as I raised and cared for Tae Ju.
You can deny it...
all you want,
and you can stubbornly say you don't accept it,
but I...
can't give in...
on this issue.
Tae Ju...
is my son.
I am...
Tae Ju's mother.
Mr. Chairman. This is just unfair.
This is so frustrating.
It's not like I don't acknowledge your hard work.
You did very well. I know that.
Kang Mi Ri...
is out of the question.
I can't accept her.
My goodness.
Listen.
Mi Ri's a decent kid.
It could be for the better.
She's vying for your position.
She'll have to give it up if she marries Tae Ju.
It's time you just...
patch things up with her and take her in.
Once she marries,
you'll have to teach her the ways of our family.
I can't do that.
If you insist on marrying Tae Ju to Kang Mi Ri,
as of today,
I will drop everything and leave this house.
What?
Why do you dislike Mi Ri so much?
I told you clearly what I think.
Do excuse me.
That nasty temper.
Fine, drop everything and leave!
Get out!
Where are your manners? You dare threaten the chairman?
Quit everything right now!
- Hi. - What are you doing?
Nothing much. Why?
I just dropped your mother off at her restaurant.
What do you mean?
I think Mr. Chairman and Mother met to discuss our marriage.
I found out later.
Father arranged it...
on his own without telling me.
I'll have to see him to find out why.
I apologize.
I'll sort things out properly.
Don't worry too much.
Okay?
(Mom)
Why doesn't she pick up the phone?
- You're back. - Yes.
Hello.
Hi. Did you do well on your exam?
Yes, I did, thanks to you giving me some extra time.
Thank you.
I'll treat you to something if you pass.
Okay, Ms. Park.
- Sun Ja. - Get off me.
It's stifling hot. Get me some cold water.
Okay.
What did he say? What happened?
The son's quite nice,
but the father's a problem.
- What? - Listen.
He's a chairman to his employees, but not to me, okay?
The old man looked like...
a pickle that had been left out to dry for three years...
and he's such a show-off.
What did he say?
What else could he say?
He wants us to let Mi Ri marry his son.
What? Really?
But then,
he bragged so much.
He said...
if we fold up this restaurant,
we wouldn't have to worry about living expenses forever.
- Do you think that makes sense? - Gosh.
The guy said he's a chairman.
He must really be rich.
What company does he own?
How would I know that?
If he took me without notice,
he should've at least introduced himself.
Gosh. He acts like a nouveau riche who doesn't know any better.
So, what did you say before you left?
He was rude,
but he seemed to like Mi Ri a lot.
He wants them to marry within the month.
I said I'd think about it.
I guess Mi Ri will finally get married.
Right?
Really, Mom?
Yes.
I met the young man's father today.
And? How did it go? Tell me, Mom.
He lived in such a huge house.
He's a chairman...
and I'm worried that we're way below his class.
Really?
The young man didn't seem so rich.
Hey, you can't tell someone's background from their looks.
Does Mi Ri look like a mere restaurant owner's daughter?
She looks like she grew up in a rich family.
I know. What did Mi Ri say?
Will she marry him?
She won't answer her phone.
Why not?
She must weigh in on this serious issue.
Exactly.
She must've heard long ago where I have been.
Why won't she call me?
I wonder if...
she dragged the guy somewhere to yell at him.
- They argue? - Yes.
The last time he came here, Mi Ri glared at him...
and took him somewhere. I think she told him off.
Women do that if they like someone.
They argue even more when they prepare their marriage.
Don't worry, Mom.
Kang Mi Ri...
After all the denying and insisting that she won't marry,
the day has come.
The brat.
Mom, is Auntie Mi Ri getting married?
Yes, she is.
We might have to prepare her dowry soon.
Ask Ms. Lee and Jin Soo to take care of Da Bin.
You should come and plan her wedding with me.
Mom, I still can't stay there for a long time.
Why not? Ms. Lee and Jin Soo can look after Da Bin.
I don't know. Jin Soo is being weird these days.
Why? What's wrong?
I don't know.
He goes out whenever he has time.
It's the weekend, but he's been out all day.
He didn't come home yet.
What?
Good.
Let's go.
Honey, I'm home.
Da Bin, Dad is home.
Where have you been?
What? Well... There...
Where did you go?
What?
Just tell us. Where have you been?
Dad.
Why are you being like this?
Jin Soo, we need to talk.
What? Okay.
Da Bin...
What's going on?
Dad, are you really going to be like this?
It's the weekend. Where have you been all day?
On the weekend, you should clean the house,
do the laundry, take out the trash,
and spend some quality time with me as my dad.
What took you so long to attend some baby's birthday party?
Da Bin, is that what you picked up from your mom?
I will never make you a watch with a clover again.
What?
How dare she snorts at her dad? Did you hear that?
- Honey. - What's wrong?
Look straight at me.
Look straight into my eyes.
Aren't you really going to tell me the truth?
Are you really not going to tell me?
What? What did I do?
I don't have anything to tell you.
Yes, you do.
When I ask you a favour, you never do it.
But you were helping someone else.
What's going on between you two?
There's nothing going on.
She's just a pharmacist at a pharmacy.
And I'm her customer.
What? A customer? Is that what a customer would do?
What kind of customer would do that?
What did I do?
You seemed to be full of energy.
You took off your jacket...
and asked her to hold it.
And I don't understand her too.
Anyway, you rolled up your sleeves.
You always like to show off the veins in your arms,
which makes me laugh at you.
And you were carrying the pot showing off the veins today.
I wouldn't have been this upset if it was something else.
Why did you carry a pot for her when you didn't do it for your wife?
Tell me. Just come clean, you old codger.
Fine. She listens to me very carefully.
That's why I went to see her.
- What? - You're not...
the only one with a pathetic life.
I've been nothing but pitiful.
I worked hard my whole life to support my family.
But when I stopped making money...
and stayed home alone,
do you remember how you treated me?
You treated me like a fool who just eats three meals a day.
With a big belly, I do nothing...
but eat three meals a day without skipping one?
I was going to say something back then,
but you just cut me off.
"Excuse me. Make sure to take out the trash on your way out."
I'm not asking you to treat me like your husband.
But I should at least be treated like a human being.
I was so stressed out that my heart was heavy.
So I had to drink something.
That's how I ended up going to the pharmacy...
and becoming friends with her.
And today, I saw her struggle to move some pots,
so I helped her with it.
You're just making a big deal out of nothing now.
What? I'm making a big deal?
Yes.
I'll be honest with you.
I don't like you these days.
All right. Now you're telling me the truth.
If you didn't like me, you should've broken up with me.
And you should live...
with the pharmacist who listens to you.
You could marry her or live as her assistant.
Why don't you just go live with her?
I just didn't want to hurt your feelings.
So I've just been waiting until the end of the world.
What? The end of the world, my foot.
We never know when it will be. You can't wait that long.
Just end things with me right here.
I was just keeping you here as I felt bad for you.
What? You kept me here?
Yes. That's what I said.
You must be out of your mind to say that.
Just end things here. Da Bin is not coming anymore.
Now that Da Bin isn't here, our children aren't visiting us.
Why would we live together in a quiet house like this?
Let's live our own lives now.
Fine. Let's live our lives of our own.
You live your life, and I do mine.
You just go your separate ways.
You and I are strangers now.
Don't even act like you know me.
You know what will happen if you ever talk to me again.
Gosh, you make sure that you don't talk to me.
That's great.
If you have anything to say, you can just go to her.
Actually, I don't even care if you go there or not.
I was tired of listening to my husband. This is for the best.
And it's good for her that she can sell medicine to you.
What?
I was just upset because of the pot.
Okay?
Whatever.
(Dol Dam Gil Publishing and Bookstore)
I like you.
A lot, for that matter. I like you a lot.
I really like you.
Mr. Kim.
Aren't you going home?
It's time to get off work. Go ahead and go home.
I should go out. Bye.
Mr. Kim.
And you can work at home for the time being.
I'll email you about the detailed schedule.
Woo Jin, are you going out?
I'll be on outside duty and go straight home from there.
You go home quite often these days.
I won't stay late in the office anymore.
Bye.
What was that? What does that mean?
Mi Hye, are you going home?
Yes.
Why do you look so down?
Woo Jin was being weird too.
Did you two have a fight?
No.
How dare I could fight with him?
Bye.
Okay.
(Dol Dam Gil Publishing and Bookstore)
Mi Hye.
You should just swear or yell at me.
It's more terrifying and annoying...
that you're acting like nothing happened.
Why did you not stop me...
when I became drunk and ran out?
Do you now understand someone who got dumped?
And I couldn't even stop you.
When I came back with ramyeon for you,
you were already gone.
So you should stop it.
Don't worry about me. Just make sure to get it over.
Even though things turned out this way,
nothing will happen between you and me.
Let me just say what you told me.
I didn't ask you to do anything for me.
If I ever did, just forget about it.
- What are you saying? - I like you,
but it has nothing to do with you. This is my problem.
Just like it is your problem to like Mr. Kim.
Let's deal with our own things.
Whatever you tell me, I'm only going to like you...
just for a year.
Which makes it 10 years.
I'll figure something out by then.
I already feel better now.
I'll drop you off at the crosswalk across from the restaurant.
I have to go home to take care of some business.
It takes me too long to make a U-turn.
You know where to cross the street, right?
All right.
You are home.
Yes.
I heard Mi Ri is getting married.
Did you hear that from your uncle?
We don't know yet. It's not something that happens overnight.
If you met his father, it's obvious that they're getting married.
Anyway, congratulations.
Finally, we are marrying Mi Ri off.
- Did you eat dinner? - I don't feel like eating.
What's going on? Is something wrong?
No. I'm just tired.
I'm going to rest.
(Episode 54)
What's with the long face?
I thought you were going to leap with joy.
This is my marriage.
So?
If you were going to meet Ms. Kang's mother,
you should've told me first.
You should've made an appointment.
You shouldn't have called her in like you'd treat your subordinate.
Didn't you notice that she was so flustered?
Are you already study the pleasure...
of your future mother-in-law?
Father.
A man like you would never do anything properly.
Needless to say, you'd probably waste your life tagging after Mi Ri.
Hey, do you know what kind of world you are living in?
Dokwang Group went under legal management as of yesterday.
You're living in a world that even a decent company like Dokwang...
could disappear in the blink of an eye.
Get your head on straight.
I'm allowing your marriage with Mi Ri in this respect.
So stop having a casual relationship.
Marry her and work together to make Hansung Group...
to flourish that no one would dare to compare us with any other groups.
This is why I let you marry...
the daughter of an ox-born soup restaurant.
You should thank me.
If you don't change your attitude,
she wouldn't want to get married.
What are you talking about? When I order you so, you must follow it.
Father.
Moreover,
why isn't Mi Ri saying anything?
She should respond to my acceptance.
Did you also call Ms. Kang?
Of course.
Did you think your father was that impolite?
Did you think that I only called...
her mother, but not her?
Father.
That's enough. Stop talking.
Set the date quickly and get married.
Before I change my mind. Do you understand?
It's me.
Did you know...
that your mom came to Mr. Chairman's house?
I heard.
It looks like she doesn't know the truth yet.
I was about to go and see her.
I'm going to tell her everything.
No, don't come.
I will tell her.
I'm already in the restaurant parking lot.
Did you go there to give her a hard time?
No, you're going to hurt her feelings.
Let me tell her.
How are you going to do that?
She must be delighted...
by the thought of becoming in-laws with a wealthy family by now.
How can such a nice daughter like you manage to tell her the truth?
Do you think...
my mom is like you?
She is no different.
There is no mom in the world who wants to send her daughter...
to a humble family instead of a wealthy family.
Anyway, this is my problem.
I'm going to tell mom...
and Tae Ju myself.
Keep quiet and clean your stuff.
And...
don't visit the ox-bone soup restaurant for a while.
Your mom would need some time to think.
We could have prevented...
this from happening, if you told me that you're the one who raised...
Tae Ju from the first place.
Also, don't meet Tae Ju for a while.
You mustn't.
You've got to fully trust me on this.
I will take care of it.
My goodness. This is so frustrating.
The calculation doesn't seem to add up.
Goodness, you scared me. You almost killed me.
What do you want? I thought you were a ghost.
What?
I thought you'd never come again. You come here very often.
What do you want today?
Do you know...
where you've been today?
Did you hear that? Rumours get around fast.
I went to meet Mi Ri's future father-in-law.
Are you upset because I went instead of you?
What were you thinking? Do you have any clue where you've been?
Oh, my. What is she saying?
Do I need to ponder over before visiting there?
That place was...
the main house of Hansung Group.
Mi Ri's company.
What?
Where?
The main house of Hansung Group.
Seung Yeon's company.
It was the house of Chairman Han Jong Soo.
It's also a place where I live.
I almost passed out when I saw you there today.
What were you thinking?
This marriage...
cannot happen.
This can't happen.
The man that Seung Yeon wants to marry is...
almost like my son. No, he is my son.
This is the reason why I told her to go and study aboard.
I tried to stop them.
Mi Ri...
Does she know?
Of course, she does.
Of course, I warned her.
What can I do? She doesn't listen to me.
Why didn't you tell me?
You should've told me.
I thought I could handle this.
I thought Seung Yeon would give up on him...
once I reveal who he was.
I didn't expect this to happen.
This is why I said you raised her wrong.
Anyway,
This marriage...
must not be done.
And...
the Hansung family must not find out...
that Seung Yeon and I are mother and daughter.
Or she could be put in danger.
You must stop this.
Just say that you are against this marriage...
because the two families are just too different.
You must...
stop this marriage somehow. Otherwise...
This cannot be done.
How can...
a mother and a daughter be...
(Dol Dam Gil Publishing and Bookstore)
My goodness.
You surprised me. Why are you standing there like that?
Why do you avoid me?
- What? - Why do you avoid me?
Mi Hye.
I thought you're working at home for the time being.
- I don't want to. - What?
I'm going to keep coming here.
Mi Hye.
I still have trouble controlling myself.
If I don't come to the office in the morning and work regularly,
I won't be able to meet the deadline alone.
So I'm going to keep coming here.
Then...
do as you want.
Before then, I think you and I have...
something to settle.
What's there to settle?
I expressed my feelings for you, so why would you ignore it?
I had a drink, came here, and told you...
that I have a crush on you two days ago.
Well,
do you want to talk about it again?
Aren't you ashamed?
Aren't you embarrassed? I just...
I thought you'd be embarrassed...
I'm not.
And I'm not ashamed.
Is it wrong for someone to have a crush on?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with expressing my feelings for him?
In that sense, can't you understand and accept it?
Reject me at least.
Why wouldn't you give me an answer?
How could you behave like nothing happened?
Then do you want to hear my answer now?
You don't have to.
I get what you're thinking,
so you don't have to do it.
Mi Hye.
I...
cried last night too.
Because I was so sad.
I'm sorry,
but let me...
cry for a second.
I'll stop crying soon.
Anyway,
I'm just telling you how I feel.
My feelings for you.
Still,
don't rush me to stop liking you.
If it was...
to end that easily,
I wouldn't have told you this in the first place.
Please don't mind.
This is my business, my feelings.
I'll take care of it.
I won't make you feel uncomfortable from now on.
Don't worry.
I'll write until the sixth chapter before I leave.
Woo Jin.
- Are you going somewhere? - Yes.
Mr. Bang can't come here today...
due to his family business.
Whether or not, I don't care.
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Tell everyone to stop coming.
If they're going to work this poorly, they better not come.
Call Mr. Bang right now.
And...
I'm going to close down this publishing store.
Call the landlord too.
What's the problem?
Forget it.
Woo Jin.
(Dol Dam Gil Publishing and Bookstore)
All right, it's time.
Let's wrap up happily.
- Okay. - Okay.
Mi Sun.
Goodness.
You've been thinking so hard since a while ago.
Are you concerned about something?
No.
Let's wrap up.
You've acted strange all day long.
Until a few days ago,
you were so happy you found a nice babysitter.
I know why.
Did the babysitter turn out to be horrible?
That's not it.
Follow me outside.
Let's have a cup of coffee before we finish the day.
My husband is acting strange lately.
How strange?
He keeps scrambling.
He goes out somewhere...
and comes back after a long time.
But he doesn't seem to have a drink.
Doesn't he go to funerals?
Right.
I don't know why he has so many funerals to go.
It's scaring me out. Is this a mystery novel or what?
The father of his branch manager...
and the mother of his vice branch manager...
passed away one day after another.
A few days later,
the brother of his senior next to his desk passed away.
Then the uncle of his junior behind his desk passed away.
Isn't it so scary?
Maybe that branch has bad luck.
Doesn't he go to first-birthday parties...
of his acquaintances' babies...
on weekends?
- How did you know? - I see.
I'm getting goose bumps.
The birthrate in our country has hit the bottom,
but all his acquaintances gave birth to children that he has to go...
- to their first-birthday parties. - Right.
Goodness.
Mi Sun, you're such a fool.
Your husband is cheating on you.
- What? - I'm sure he's having an affair.
Goodness.
Forget it.
I thought the same at first,
but no one would be willing to date him unless she's stupid.
He was lucky to have met me and married me.
- No way. - See?
Husbands have an affair when their wives put their guard down like you.
Wait and see. He'll sleep out soon.
I'm telling you.
Goodness, you are a fool.
- Ready. - Bang!
Okay, bring it on.
Bang!
Let's do it. Bang!
Okay, I got one. Bang!
- The explosive has been collected. - Don't let the enemy...
- We're closing the mission. - know about my death.
Mission complete.
Good work, McClane.
Return to the base.
Mother, Father, it's me.
Mother.
Mother, what are you doing?
When did you come in?
Just now. Are you eating alone?
Yes. Who else would I eat with?
Where's Father?
Don't even ask me about him.
Why would I care where he is?
Mother. Did you two fight again?
There's nothing to even fight about with him.
We decided not to talk to each other.
Why would you do that?
And you two. You two should know better too.
You visited only when Da Bin's here.
Now that she's not here, you never visit.
Sorry, Mother. That's why I'm here today.
If Father's in his study, he can come out and have some fruit.
Don't.
If he comes out, I'm going into my room.
Mother.
Hey, Mi Sun.
Why is Jin Soo so busy?
Why are there so many first-birthday parties?
Did he go to a kid's first-birthday party?
I called to invite him to dinner...
and he said he had to go to the party.
Did he?
Father, it's me.
Hello there.
What are you doing alone in here?
Did you and Mother really fight?
Don't you mention her in front of me.
Even if I die because ramyeon is all I ate,
from now on, your mother and I...
decided not to look at or talk to each other again.
Come on, Father.
Can't you make up with her?
No.
Your mother and I squabbled all our married life.
So what if we reconcile? She forgets right away.
Her head, it's like she has a bird's brain.
Anyway,
why is Jin Soo always so busy?
Pardon? Why, Father?
I argued with your mother and got upset,
so I wanted to go out with him for a drink.
He said he had to go to a funeral or a wake.
He had no time.
He went to a funeral?
Yes.
I see.
1:28am.
Jung Jin Soo. You decided to stay out?
You're dead when you come home.
You're dead.
Sun Ja, what's the matter?
You haven't eaten since yesterday. Why?
You said you'll marry Mi Ri off.
What about the preparations?
Get out.
Sun Ja.
Ms. Kang took today off too?
Yes. She's been taking a lot of days off recently.
She must have her reasons.
Even so, two days off in a row?
Is she planning her wedding?
Mr. Park, stop making silly assumptions.
It's not an assumption.
Director Han told me with a straight face.
That he'll marry Ms. Kang.
Then it could be true.
Completely.
She's preparing for her wedding in secret.
Good for Ms. Kang.
She's marrying into a rich family.
She is. Gosh.
Mother.
Hello.
Director Park told me.
You submitted your resignation?
I decided to.
That's all you need to know.
Mother.
The CEO position's nothing really.
To me,
you're more important.
The reason you're against my marriage with Ms. Kang.
I want to know.
That way, I can at least try to understand you.
Kids can never understand their parents.
Yes. I'm your kid.
- But... - You are...
my kid?
Yes.
Okay.
Then do as I say.
Don't marry Ms. Kang.
You can never be happy if you get married.
Why do you think so?
You two...
can never settle down.
You'll face bigger problems every day.
You know the union of you two is out of the ordinary.
Ms. Kang will know that very well too.
That's why things got to the worst point...
where Mr. Chairman got involved.
Did you persuade Ms. Kang? You didn't.
Please, Tae Ju.
Don't go ahead with it.
Meet someone who suits you and be happy.
Okay?
I know that you're concerned.
- But... - Do you think...
I was happy as a member of this family?
It wasn't just Mr. Chairman who gave me a hard time.
Your uncle and I had a rough marriage too.
Not anyone can survive a union of two different backgrounds.
At first, love covers it all,
but then the circumstances overpower you.
- That's... - Do you know how I managed?
I leaned on you.
I wanted out so many times,
but not being there for you when you came home from school...
I thought you'd be so dejected and upset.
I endured because of you.
You got me through those years.
I know that.
Very well.
But what you worry about...
will never happen.
I'm not like my father. Or my uncle.
I will never make my wife unhappy.
Tae Ju.
And you too.
I won't ever let you feel left out.
Mother. Ms. Kang's a nice woman.
Ms. Kang and I will take good care of you.
I can't give up on...
either you or her.
I won't...
give up on you both.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Your mom was here.
I know.
I'll explain everything.
Everything.
You unlucky thing.
What did you do in your past life to end up like this?
Mom.
What...
crime did you commit in your past life?
Did you kill your parents or your siblings?
Did you sell your country?
What did you do wrong?
After you were abandoned by your mom at the age of six,
you've been raised in a family like this.
You didn't get to wear good clothes...
or eat good foods.
You just studied hard...
and worked your guts out.
And you finally met a guy you love, but it's her son?
Mom.
Of all guys, why did you meet a guy from that family?
A guy whom your mom raised after she abandoned you?
Are you in your right mind?
So I'm not going to marry him.
I won't marry him. I won't, Mom.
Of course not.
This isn't just right.
It's never going to work.
Even if you and I will die, it can never happen.
Okay. I know.
No. Let's not do that.
- Let's just kill ourselves here. - Mom.
Mom, please don't do this.
Why are you being like this?
Let's just die here.
Let's kill ourselves, Mi Ri.
- Mom. - You're so unfortunate.
Just stop making me beat my breast...
and let's just die here together.
Let's kill ourselves.
- Let's die. - Mom.
Mom, I'm so sorry.
I'm really sorry for breaking your heart like this.
Mom.
I can't stand this.
- I can't do this anymore. - Mom.
I'm really sorry, Mom.
Gosh.
Mi Ri.
Mi Ri, you can never do that.
You know it.
It's never going to happen.
No.
It should never happen.
I know.
I know I can't do this.
- Gosh. - Mom.
You poor thing.
You poor little thing.
My gosh.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Gosh.
What am I going to do with you?
You poor thing. What do I do now?
Mom.
I'm sorry.
(Junior Managing Director Han Tae Ju)
Ms. Kang.
Where are you?
I really want to see you today.
Ms. Kang?
Okay.
Let's meet.
Actually, I have something...
to tell you.
You've come a long way. Come on in.
You seem to be well off.
So...
would you...
like some drinks?
You darn wench.
Do you call yourself a human being?
Are you a mother?
How could you do that to your daughter?
You already abandoned her.
How could you break her heart like that again?
And do you call yourself a human being?
You.
I'm going to kill you today.
Come here.
You wench!
(My Prettiest Daughter in the World)
No.
Tae Ju, I'm not kidding now.
Let's just think about our feelings and follow them.
What? I'm old?
Honey, why are you being like this?
If you keep being like this, things will get only harder.
It's killing me, Mother.
Are you happy to eat alone?
Don't even write to me from now on.
Do you expect me to believe that?
I'm serious.
- That's enough. - Mi Ri says she won't get married.
Why is that?
I don't think I can handle it.
How could you do this?
Make Tae Ju give up on me.
Seung Yeon.
I just want you to know...
that I really loved you with all my heart.
