(Episode 27)
Is Gemma...
Is she...
your daughter?
Please tell me the truth.
Who told you that?
Was it Gemma?
Is she not?
This is the coolest spot in our building.
It's open, so it's refreshing.
Whenever I'm upset or frustrated because of work,
this place provides solace.
You haven't answered my question, Ms. Min.
Yes.
Gemma is...
my daughter.
She is...
my daughter from my past life.
I was utterly desperate back then.
I had to flee in order to live.
I didn't think about my kids or my husband.
Because I had to survive first.
I don't plan to make excuses to you.
I only wish...
she'd understand me. But she...
wouldn't even listen to me.
Forget listening...
You know...
what she did to me because she was blinded by revenge.
I do know that she almost died in a fire.
Then you should know who started that fire.
She almost went to jail for arson.
I pulled strings to get her out.
I'm the true victim.
She used Lady Choi to get into my company...
and acted like a whistleblower, causing us a great loss.
That wasn't enough, so she staged the fire...
and lied that I was there.
I tried to kill her?
I didn't try to kill her. She tried to kill me.
Stop lying!
I'm lying?
I see you don't believe me.
Well, given your relationship, why would you believe me?
I even got on my knees and cried, begging for forgiveness.
I said I'd be a good mom to her now...
and to stop being angry.
I even offered to send her abroad to study,
but she...
She...
You say you're her mom.
Then you should've embraced her.
You should've covered her with love.
That stupid, idiotic moron.
How dare you lecture me?
How long do you think you can beat me?
You've grown old already,
and you're not smarter than I am.
I'm old?
Me?
Why do you put on lipstick...
on that young, smooth face?
Are you that insecure?
You dragged Ki Seok in as well now?
Just tell everyone...
that you're my daughter.
That you showed up before me in order to get revenge.
That would be...
too boring, Ms. Min.
What?
You have a mountain of secrets and lies.
I need to enjoy exposing them one by one.
You must save...
the most delicious food for last...
to truly enjoy it.
You shot yourself in the foot.
You'll regret it.
You're terrified, aren't you?
If I shoot myself in the foot, I'll crawl to get my revenge.
So just wait.
I will.
Since as you say,
you are young and smart.
So try and beat me.
That brat.
Get out.
Get out!
Your voice is echoing in the halls.
What did our kind Gemma do to deserve such a scolding?
I'm sorry.
You may go.
Also, don't forget to stop by my office later.
Yes, sir.
I'm glad you're here. I needed to talk to you anyway.
If you take even Hye Bin to your side,
what about the shoes?
Are shoes that important?
Our mattresses are our company's main product now.
We can start winding down the shoe business.
You can't think...
you're still the queen of shoes.
What?
You must have heard people talk behind your back.
That you're not the same as you used to be.
That you've lost your touch.
(CEO Yoon Ki Seok)
Please help me.
Gemma has no intention of forgiving me...
or accepting my apology.
Hye Bin is getting married soon.
What if she does something?
Please talk to Gemma.
Once things are settled down,
I'll tell people myself.
Please...
keep it a secret until then.
- I'm home. - Hey.
I'm tired, so I'm going to rest.
Wait. I need to talk to you. Sit for a minute.
The chairman invited us over to his house.
I can't go. The restaurant is busy on the weekends.
Make some time.
He wants to thank you for the engagement ceremony.
Our family is so small. You have to be there.
That's not right.
He's right. We have a small family. We should all go.
Gemma, you too.
Okay.
Is it good?
This is expensive meat.
Triple-A grade Korean beef.
No wonder. It melts in my mouth.
I was so jealous.
When will I ever get engaged?
Forget getting engaged. Will I ever get married?
I'm sure you will.
With whom?
Who else? With a man.
What man?
Just a man. Do you want to marry a woman?
Okay, fine.
Gun Wook.
You're mine. Okay?
I'll take care of you.
I, the gentleman Gun Wook, will take care of you.
- Really? - You can trust me.
Actually, I prefer the beast Gun Wook...
more than the gentleman Gun Wook.
Bad kids!
Good going.
What's this?
You even took out these expensive short ribs?
What's this? And wine too?
Chef. Why haven't you gone home yet?
I thought you left.
You took all of this out and cooked while I was out?
This is theft. That's right.
You thief!
Uncle.
Couldn't you have come just ten seconds later?
Why do you always show up at the worst time?
We wanted to have a nice date for once.
Seriously. You are such a mood killer.
- Come on. Let's go. - What?
Good night.
Go straight home. Don't go anywhere else.
Those punks.
Wait a second.
It tastes better than mine.
My goodness. Come in.
- Hello. - Hello.
Thank you for coming to our humble home.
Thank you for inviting this old woman over.
Aren't you tired from the drive?
Why would I be? The one who drove should be tired.
You must be hungry. If you don't mind,
why don't we eat now?
This way.
Was this it?
Is this the golden key that you grabbed...
by throwing away your husband and kids?
That's right.
If I had stayed with your father,
this would've been just a dream.
I could've never lived here.
I should've brought flowers or something.
I'm sorry.
What do you mean?
What if I get pricked by a thorn again?
Don't do...
anything stupid today.
- Hee Kyung. - Let's go in.
The restroom is at the end of the hall.
My sister-in-law has quite a temper, doesn't she?
But then again, you looked like you were no joke too.
Really?
Don't mind me. I'm just kidding.
Come eat.
Jin A, what's taking you so long?
If you don't sit now, I'll eat up all the japchae.
What are you doing, Jin A?
Sit down, my dear daughter.
Gemma.
I'm sorry.
Do you feel sick?
You look pale.
No, I'm fine.
My wife put in a lot of effort since we were having you over.
I hope you like the food.
I do. Everything is delicious.
Mr. Yoon, please eat up.
You too, Gemma. Eat up.
What do you want to eat?
Short ribs? Japchae? Tell me everything you want, Jin Ho.
Why? So you can set a table filled with convenience store foods?
What do you mean? Your big sister will cook for you herself.
You're my precious little brother, the doctor.
Gemma.
I'm sorry.
Seeing Ms. Min's japchae...
reminded me of my little brother who died recently.
My brother loved japchae.
Oh dear.
How did he...
I'm sorry.
I've ruined the mood.
May I excuse myself?
You're our guest and came all this way.
I'd feel terrible if you just left now.
Hye Bin. Let her rest in your room.
Oh no.
Lie down and rest.
I'm sorry for ruining the mood.
I don't have siblings, so I know I don't understand,
but I'm sure it would be hard for me to deal with such a loss.
Thank you for being so kind, ma'am.
Don't be so formal when we're alone.
We're not at work.
Thanks.
I know this may be strange timing,
but if I've done anything to hurt your feelings,
please forgive me.
Looking back, I realized...
I was shortsighted.
I had such a hard life,
that my inferiority complex kicks in whenever I meet rich people.
I let it all go that other day. Are you still holding on?
I was jealous of you too, as a woman.
I have my own inferiority complex.
Now that I'm even engaged to Hyun Seok,
let's get along even better, sister-in-law.
Actually, should I call you "Fake Auntie?"
I'll let you rest.
(Kim Jung Guk, Kim Jin Ho)
I'm sorry, Jin Ho.
While your children that you abandoned...
cried sorrowfully,
Hye Bin was living as a princess with everything she could want.
I feel so bad for Gemma.
When she was crying and talking about her brother, even I felt sad.
See? Couldn't you have been nicer before?
Don't worry. We decided to be sisters now.
- Really? - Yes.
But did no one in the family know what happened to her?
I did hear that her brother died.
I didn't know the details though.
No wonder Grandma cares so much about her.
It's so sad.
Grandma has to.
She gave her a kidney without getting anything back.
In other words, she saved her life.
What? She gave her a kidney?
- Gemma? - Yes.
No one else was a match,
and her condition was worsening, so it was dangerous.
But she survived thanks to Gemma giving her a kidney.
Oh my gosh.
I hear you run a nursing home?
Yes. It's in a place with very clean air.
You should stop by sometime.
We went too. They have a salon, a movie theater,
and even a sauna. It's nice.
I'll have to set a date sometime soon.
Oh my gosh. Don't feel too pressured.
Okay.
How's Gemma?
We should head out soon.
- I'll check on her. - Okay.
I'll go.
Get up.
How dare you...
come here and sleep in my daughter's bed?
If you hate it so much,
throw this bed out and buy a new one.
You replaced your husband and kids without batting an eye.
A bed should be nothing. Am I right?
You...
What did I tell you?
I said not to come to my house.
How dare you come into my house?
You need to die. Just die.
Die.
You should've died back then!
What happened to your face?
You too.
I was waking her up and she suddenly turned her head...
and got scratched on my ring.
Hye Bin, would you put something on it for her?
Come with me.
Did you have fun?
You were there for a while.
Okay. Go up and rest.
I hope it doesn't scar.
What happened to your face?
Tell me the truth.
I told you, I scratched it on a safety pin.
Please tell me.
Did you meet with Ms. Min?
I asked you to please ignore it.
Ignoring it won't accomplish anything.
I was trying to fix the problem.
Why are you trying to fix my problem?
Because it isn't your problem.
It's mine too.
Hye Bin, the daughter of the woman you hate and want to kill,
is going to be my brother's wife.
And you, her other daughter,
may become my wife.
Don't you understand...
how important you are to me?
So...
please forgive her and make up.
If you live a happy life, there will come a time...
when you forget everything.
That's what I'm afraid of. Being forgotten.
My life ended the day Jin Ho died anyway.
Gemma.
Leave me alone! Please!
How can I? When I know everything.
You know everything?
What do you know?
How much?
No, you don't know.
Just as I don't know you.
What?
You asked why I didn't tell you, right?
Then why didn't you tell me?
What do you mean?
That you were married before.
That you still keep in touch.
That it was because of her that you quit teaching.
That you were madly in love,
and that you couldn't love again because of that scar.
And because of that, you feared getting close to me...
and that you had no faith, conviction, or anything.
Gemma.
Why couldn't you be honest with me?
Why?
But you act like you know me.
Like you're honest.
Like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.
I'm not judging you.
I was the same.
I couldn't tell you.
We didn't love each other.
We deceived each other. We weren't honest.
All we did was lie. How is that love?
That's not the love that I know.
I...
I don't love you.
And you don't love me.
Gemma.
Please leave.
Gemma.
Please leave. I'm begging you, please go!
That brat.
I brought the ointment.
Let me see.
What if it scars?
It won't. The ointments these days work well.
But anyway, did you see Gemma's wrist?
I doubt that scar will heal.
I'd be so upset if I were her.
She should get it treated.
Why do you care?
- I feel bad for her. - What?
I don't like how ghetto she acts because of the tough life she had,
but when I heard that her brother suddenly died overnight,
I started to tear up.
He was attacked while helping a woman who had her purse snatched.
Gosh.
Hey. What has gotten into you?
Why are you acting like you're close to that brat?
I'm not acting. We are close.
What?
Do you want me to keep fighting her or something?
You tried to kick her out but failed.
And you were the one who stole her design.
She's justified for being mad.
Shut it.
Do as I say. Keep a distance from her.
You have no idea how frightening she is.
She may take it out on you if you're not careful.
She may what?
Your imagination is running wild.
She's on my side.
Hye Bin.
She said so herself.
She said since we'll be in-laws, let's forget the past and get along.
What could I say to that? Should I have refused?
She's my sister-in-law.
She's not a real daughter. She was adopted.
If her adoption gets dissolved, their relationship will be over.
It was dissolved already.
But their relationship will never be severed.
Gemma saved Grandma's life.
She saved her life?
What do you want?
Revenge?
That's right.
Revenge on you.
What did I do wrong?
You abandoned me.
You abandoned my brother Jin Ho.
And you betrayed our dad.
I was still a child.
Jin Ho and I...
needed our mom.
Everyone...
changes and betrays others...
to benefit themselves.
I'm human too.
Why must I...
make all the sacrifices?
What about my happiness?
What about my ambitions?
You tried to kill me!
I despise you.
I'll punish you.
I'll hurt you...
the way you've hurt me.
Go right ahead.
Would that be possible?
You poor girl.
You mean nothing in my life.
The most important thing in my life...
is me.
Get out. Leave! Go!
Gemma.
Get out.
(Red Shoes)
What do you mean?
Why would you move out?
Do you think moving out will resolve everything?
I told you. My life ended the day Jin Ho died.
What did you say? Sister?
I told you. We decided to be friends.
How about a slow dance?
And some wine.
I'm tired. Go to sleep.
What did I tell you?
I said to give your all to guard them.
