I heard this steak is from a great restaurant.
- You should try it. - Okay.
Well, Sang Ah...
gets on my nerves sometimes even though she's my daughter.
But she's good at heart.
What she means by you acting like a guardian...
is that she knows you saved her.
It's her way of saying thank you.
Don't be so upset, okay?
I'm not upset.
Whatever your family says, I won't get upset.
You let us live under your roof when we had nowhere to go.
Right. We're just destined to be together, aren't we?
There's a song about this.
Our meeting
didn't happen coincidentally
This was our wish
Don't look back
You're so funny.
They say I'm a bit of a comedian.
Who?
The neighbors told me so when I was young.
You even saved Sang Ah this time.
I'm really going to reward you big later.
Don't do that.
As what Director said, I can't even receive...
even if you offer me something.
What?
Why can't you?
That reminds me.
If you got the reward,
you would've gotten yourself a room. Why did you have nowhere to go?
Did your husband take it again?
Well, the thing is...
Mrs. Jo, you got some soul in you.
Would you like to go to karaoke when you get discharged?
Karaoke?
Your balance is insufficient. Please try it again.
Why are you so late? Did you go play somewhere?
No, our transit pass...
We didn't have enough money in it, so we walked home.
Then how long did it take you?
You should transfer to a nearby school.
It's all right.
In the autobiography of successful people, some even walked 4 km.
Do you read that when you're in elementary school?
I'm going to earn a lot of money, you see.
Bok Hee would be so reassured to have such a daughter.
How great are you?
Mrs. Jo is home!
Mrs. Jo, welcome back.
- Where's Sang Ah? - She went to work early.
I asked her to go to some nice place to eat when I get discharged.
It's like she's remarried to her work.
She always goes to take care of the business there.
Aren't you going overboard?
Why? Would it please you if I sit back and do nothing?
I just love your attitude.
I feel pressured...
if I see people going out of their way to seduce me.
You're doing just right. Keep at it. Okay?
Here.
About the custody lawsuit last time,
I drafted up with something you can counteract with.
I wrote down a list of documents that you would need.
Well, it's just for your reference.
Are you always protrusive on things you're not ordered to do...
- and when it's my private life? - Yes.
- So that's how you say thank you. - You really suck.
You flirt with everyone including my housekeeper.
What is it now?
Is it a compliment about my charms?
I always need to interpret your words.
I confirmed...
the address and phone number of APlus headquarters in Singapore.
But I can't get through.
Then what?
Are you saying I made a deal with a paper company?
You're quite easy to see through.
Why are you being so anxious?
Do you think of me as an enemy?
Then are you saying you're on my side?
I don't know what that means,
but I'm not your enemy.
I have no intention of stealing your position.
Why did you come back?
Because I missed Korea.
But why did it have to be my house,
Shinsang Group?
You didn't make a deal with my dad, did you?
You always go quite too far.
Then what is it?
I was just...
- curious. - Curious about what?
(Chief Manager Kim)
The results are out.
Then I'll get going.
Isn't a karaoke for younger people?
You look even younger than me!
Let's go!
Why are you here?
Bok Hee.
It's me. Open the door.
This is really heavy.
Who is it?
She's my mom.
Oh, is that so?
Tell her to come in for a bit. She came a long way.
I think she'll leave as soon as she gives me what she brought.
Dear me.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
I heard you had surgery.
For your recovery,
I brought beef bone soup that I boiled for a long time.
I put a lot of beef too!
Here you go.
You didn't have to.
Why is that?
It's good both for those who donated and received blood.
What's the matter with you?
See? This is so like you...
to give blood to anyone for nothing.
Don't you know how I raised you?
In the old days, they used to give 100 kg of rice...
to people who gave them a bucket of their blood.
What are you talking about? Go now.
What's wrong with you?
I left my kids here with you, but I never got to see you.
So I'm finally here while I'm at it.
My apologies.
- Leave already. - What's with you?
Hey, where is your room? Show me around.
Where is it? Is it here?
What are you trying to do? What? Boil a soup at home?
It's obvious that you bought it from Mrs. Son's.
Do you really want to do this?
Gosh, do you live in the basement?
Grandma.
Why did you come?
That brat still got that big mouth.
Are you done looking? Then go home now.
My gosh, I thought she gave you an outhouse...
like those conglomerates in dramas.
There is a room here.
Is it not occupied?
Someone could come and use it then.
This place is near Hyun Hee's hospital.
Can you leave now?
We'll get in trouble if the director or the chairman gets here.
- Hey, come on. - Get out.
- Hey. Goodness. - Goodbye.
- I'm home. - Hey.
You're home early.
Hey, stop pushing me. Gosh.
Goodness me. You must be the daughter of this family.
Hello.
I told her to come in for a while.
My name is Shim Suk, Bok Hee's mother.
Why does your daughter look mean?
Oh, right.
I heard your mom was in danger and stayed at the hospital.
So I made this soup.
You said you would live in complete silence.
Then you shouldn't even let rats crawl in the house. What is this?
Please leave quickly.
Hey.
She must be the crazy lady Hyun Hee was talking about, right?
- Mom. - Goodness me.
- Take this! - Good grief!
I think I need to rest.
Let's go to karaoke next time.
I have a headache.
Tell your mom to call you before she comes.
Yes, Mrs. Jo. I'm sorry.
Have a rest.
It's useless if the DNA is not 99.9 percent identical.
Even if it's 90 percent, it means you're not their biological child.
Whether it's my child or someone else's child,
you can become the successor only if you are qualified as management.
Dad already knew...
that I wasn't his biological daughter.
- Welcome back. - Yes.
What's this on the floor?
I'm sorry. I spilled something.
So slippery.
It's like an ice rink.
How did you spill something on a large scale?
You acted carelessly, right?
Go quickly.
Can't I even ask?
The floor is sticky.
Do you feel unwell again?
What's gotten into him?
When it's time to die, people change.
Did he change after I went through crises a few times?
Why?
I was just seeing what you were doing.
I'm doing my homework.
You should trust me.
I'm doing my English homework, and then I'm going to read a book.
All right.
You're doing great.
"The shine on a silver spoon is maintained through studying."
You always say that.
Mom, what happened?
Se Ra,
you're my daughter, right?
Of course, I'm your daughter.
You're right.
It's so obvious,
but I talked nonsense.
Yes.
No matter what, I'm the daughter of this family.
The only daughter of Shinsang Group.
I'll make her pay the price.
I will catch her without fail.
- How can I help you? - Yes.
I would like to report a missing person.
What's your relation with that person?
She's my wife.
Her name is Nam Ji Ae.
What's her resident number?
It's 91...
I mean, 91...
You don't even know your wife's resident number?
I may not know even though she's my wife.
Did you contact her family or friends?
Do you know her family?
I may not know that.
Why do you think I'd know everything just because she's my wife?
You know your name and resident number, right?
I'll check your family relations.
No, we're not legally married yet.
I'm here to report a missing case.
Why is our legal marriage status important?
A woman disappeared, and I don't if she's alive or dead.
Will you take responsibility if anything bad happens to her?
There are things I need to know to file a case.
I should know something whether it's health insurance or a credit card.
If you had reported this through a phone call,
then you would've been fined for a prank call.
Do you understand?
Fine?
It's not a prank.
She really disappeared.
Yes.
Hey.
How can you not call me when I left like that?
Your mom was being humiliated,
but you stared at me like it was someone else's issue.
You should have at least followed me and gave me some money for a taxi...
and asked if I was frightened and said goodbye.
Why do I have to teach you everything?
So why did you come without calling me?
Are you kidding?
Do you think I went for me?
I went there with expensive beef bone soup...
because I wanted to see how you were doing there...
and show them you also have a family so they don't look down on you.
Why did you bring that?
Did I raise you as my daughter to hear that from you?
I'm such a fool.
All right.
I'm sorry.
I'll go see you when I have time.
How can you work for that crazy lady?
Hey.
I'm telling you as I'm worried about you.
You can't expect a long life if you live in that house.
You will either die of tuberculosis in that basement...
or die of heart disease dealing with that psychopath.
We get a lot of air in the basement,
and I won't get a heart disease that easily.
Freshwater fish need to live in freshwater.
If it goes to the sea, it will only die soon.
Do you know that?
I told you that you wouldn't be able to deal with them alone.
You should have gone with me.
Did I know that would happen?
Why don't you trust me?
Nam Ji Ae.
Is that even her name?
I will never fall for a woman again.
I won't even look at women.
That thief.
Where can I get 4,500 dollars for medical bills?
Let's eat.
"You shouldn't even let rats crawl."
"Live silently."
She said this.
I was so frightened that my heart is still pounding.
I heard someone call me a beast,
but I've never heard someone call me a rat.
It suits perfectly as she lives in the basement.
How can she live there? I can never live like that.
So there's no need to be jealous of Bok Hee...
just because she lives in the house of a wealthy family.
- Bok Hee works for a rich family? - Gosh!
Why did you come so silently?
What are you doing here?
I came here to eat.
Even though I'm Bok Hee's stepmom,
this place is your wife's home.
You broke up, making a huge racket in the neighborhood.
I wouldn't even want to encounter coincidently if I were you.
You even ordered delivery with your new woman.
How can you come here to eat so shamelessly?
The meals here are sumptuous considering the price.
Why? What is it?
I came to eat at a restaurant.
Let's eat.
- Thank you for the meal. - Eat up.
Why is Dad not saying anything...
when he knows I'm not his biological daughter?
You and Sang Ah went through...
a lot of trouble.
What's up with you? You never say that.
Does Mom know it too?
When did your shoulders become so small?
Are they? They're rounded, right?
No. I mean they're small and pretty.
That's refreshing.
When you were younger, you used to rub my shoulders...
and it would be refreshing because you had such a firm grip.
Did I do that?
I was a good kid.
Of course. You were pretty and kind. You were the best daughter.
That's enough. You'll be tired.
Mom. Where are my baby photos?
You know, for my first birthday and when I was hundred days old.
Your first birthday photo?
Wait a minute. It's there.
I met Sang Ah during the day.
She said it's better not to see him for now as he was upset about me.
Changing my major without consulting him...
and seeing a girl that he is against are all my fault.
But I feel bad as he didn't respond to the letter I wrote genuinely.
(June 17, 2006)
(Dad)
I'll be staying in Zurich for some time with him.
Did you arrive in Korea well?
Keep me posted.
(From Mom)
Mom, did you finish work?
Yes. Did you guys have dinner?
We had cup ramyeon before, but I'm kind of hungry.
Then I'll fix you a meal quickly.
Did we run out of rice?
What do I do?
I've been so out of it lately that I forgot we ran out of rice.
Oh, well. We can have ramyeon again.
Then I'll make budaejjigae with kimchi and sausage.
Budaejjigae?
I put in exactly 10 sausages, so you can have 5 each.
But what's that thing on your head? Where did you get it?
All sorts of things are in that box. I'm like a doctor, right?
Yes. You look just like a doctor.
Didn't I have enough for dinner? I'm kind of hungry.
What's this smell?
I was tired of eating cup ramyeon after burning myself while cooking.
Cooked ramyeon is the best kind.
Eat up.
While I was at the hospital, I realized...
that happiness comes from being healthy and sharing meals.
Let's not get sick, guys.
I'm sure I can do that.
Me too. I want some ramyeon.
Why are you barging into our house in the middle of the night?
What's wrong with you?
Don't be so cheap.
Didn't we agree to help each other out as freeloaders of this house?
When?
Mom. Let him have some.
Right. You're kind of mean.
You told us not to be stingy with food.
It was taken on your first birthday. You were really cute, right?
I guess.
How much did I weigh when I was born?
Sorry? It was 3.1 kilograms.
Before the delivery, the doctor said it could be risky, so I worried.
But I was so happy to see you in good health.
Mom doesn't know about it.
I wasn't adopted either. Then it must be...
What hospital was I born in?
Did you say the hospital was owned by your friend?
Yes. It's Hangroo Maternity Clinic. Why?
I kind of forgot about it.
Who's this?
This is my friend who owned the hospital.
You three must've been close.
Does it look like it?
Yes.
We were close. She's Si Kyung's mom.
She's Manager Jang's mom?
Did you have me in that clinic?
She quit working there when she went to America.
Hangroo Maternity Clinic.
Did you look into the maternity clinic we discussed?
Yes, sir. That clinic was replaced by Mind Hospital.
And they no longer keep the patients' records of the time.
When did the owner of the clinic change?
It was around 1987.
Director Jeong Young Suk immigrated to the US soon after she quit there.
I see.
Then, Secretary Cha.
Check the financial condition...
and records of employees at the time.
And also look into it more and see if there's I need to know.
He's looking into a hospital?
He's trying to find his real daughter, isn't he?
I can never let him do that.
No matter what it takes, I'll find her first.
(My Wonderful Life)
About Si Kyung's mom, Young Suk.
What about her out of the blue?
Are you in touch with her lately?
Accompany me to that hospital.
This is it, Chairman.
What do you mean she's working for a conglomerate family?
Not everyone can have such a job.
It really is a conglomerate. Shinsang Group.
Do you work in this house?
How did you find about this place?
Did you trail me?
