(Episode 17)
Did you find out...
- anything else on Han Joo Won? - Yes.
In her third year as an announcer,
she suddenly resigned and went to Jeju Island.
She was pregnant at that time.
Then the child's father must've been the man she was seeing back then.
Who was it?
Who was Han Joo Won seeing at that time?
Tell me.
It was President Shin Myung Joon.
Darling.
Yes?
Come to my office at lunchtime. Let's eat out together.
To apologize for my neglectfulness,
I'll take you somewhere nice.
We'll have dinner at the villa.
Let's eat together some other day.
I'm so excited.
I think it'll be fun.
Where's Woo Cheol?
He's drawing in his room.
Will you take him too?
No. It's not the right setting.
His school closes on weekends.
I don't want to leave him at the blowfish restaurant.
You're right. Don't leave him there anymore.
I think we should hire a part-time carer.
A part-time carer?
Yes. There are times when you're too busy with him...
to do your own things.
Woo Cheol's very shy.
He won't want to be with a stranger.
Leave him with your aunt from Paldang today...
No.
He hates that place.
I'll just stay home with Woo Cheol.
Who's that?
Who is it?
I'm here for Ms. Han.
Are you ready?
Let's talk.
Out of all people, if my manager won't keep my private life a secret,
who else would do that?
And how could you tell Woo Jung?
Do you even think?
It was for your sake.
For my sake?
Woo Jung's the only person who can persuade you.
Didn't you think she could get hurt?
Before you told her,
you should've asked me first.
You told me to pretend I saw, heard,
and know nothing.
So you go and twist the truth?
What is the truth? Tell me.
President Shin and I used to date a long time ago.
But it's not ongoing.
There's no affair.
Then why did you hug?
Two people who shouldn't meet again met again.
We talked about how we hurt each other and...
Never mind.
I'm really disappointed in you.
I'm so sorry. I didn't think hard enough.
You don't need to help me from now on.
What?
Ms. Han, did you just fire me?
Yes.
For whatever reason, you lack the qualities a manager should have.
Mr. Yoon.
Did my mom scold you?
It wasn't just that.
Then what?
Did she fire you?
It's all my fault. I talk too much.
Did you try saying it won't happen again?
Of course I did.
But Ms. Han seems to think I don't qualify to be a manager.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I can't say it's okay.
But it's true that I acted rashly. It was all my fault.
However, I hope you understand I spoke up for Ms. Han's sake.
I do know that.
I knew Mom was very angry,
but I didn't think she'd fire you.
Maybe that's why she said we won't leave Woo Cheol at your restaurant.
What do you mean?
You'll stop Woo Cheol from visiting us because of me?
We inconvenienced you so much already.
After all that happened,
asking your parents to watch Woo Cheol...
Woo Jung. I want to work for your mother again.
What?
I need Woo Cheol to keep coming to the restaurant...
for me to get a chance to appease your mom.
No. I was really rude to your parents too.
We were a nuisance.
You aren't a nuisance. You'll be doing me a favor.
If even Woo Cheol stops visiting,
I'll have no ties whatsoever with Ms. Han.
You don't want that, do you?
And can you not tell Do Bin and my family...
I lost my job yet?
I want to be the one to tell them. Please?
Okay, I'll do that.
Mom's manager. Hi.
Hi, Woo Cheol. You look good today.
Woo Cheol looks good today.
I'll go and see nice Jae Hee. Yes.
Woo Cheol.
Yes, Woo Cheol.
- Let's go see nice Jae Hee. - Okay.
- Come along. - Woo Cheol.
Come on.
I can't ask them to watch him...
after the tantrum I threw.
- You should see nice Jae Hee. - Okay.
Mr. Yoon, I think I'm being too thick.
Do it for me.
And you're going to the villa in Yangsuri.
Are you okay with Ms. Han going there on her own?
Do you know anyone else who likes Woo Cheol...
as much as my parents and sister?
(Dongrae Blowfish Soup)
- No. - Woo Jung.
Woo Jung.
- Producer Yoon. - What are you doing there?
Jae Bin, what are you doing?
She said she won't bring Woo Cheol here again.
I feel bad about what I said to your parents...
because I was quite a bit rude to them.
- Let's talk inside. - No, wait.
I was a bit... Yesterday...
Gosh. A little or a lot, we can talk about it inside.
- Let's go, Woo Cheol. - Okay.
Jae Hee.
Don't leave. Come inside, would you?
Let's go.
I'm glad you're back. I was afraid you'd stop visiting.
Woo Cheol, it's nice to see you again.
Hi, nice Jae Hee.
Welcome back.
There are good days and bad days between neighbors.
That was just bad?
She could've killed us.
She got really nasty because we made one comment.
Mom, she wasn't exactly nasty.
She just overreacted a bit.
That's right. Woo Jung would never be nasty.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm not usually like that.
But when it comes to my mom...
and Woo Cheol, I get a bit, just a bit upset.
That's normal. They're family.
I'm like that.
I'll fight anyone who takes on my family.
I understand.
Thanks for understanding, Mr. Yoon.
It's not just him that understands. Our whole family does.
An apology alone won't cut it.
Mom, take this.
She brought it so you can become even prettier. Right?
That's right. You're beautiful already,
but drinking that will make you even more so.
My dear Ms. Heo.
I can't afford you to get any prettier.
Will this make me prettier?
You bet.
Will China's greatest beauty call you her big sister?
I'll let it go because of my sons.
I like you most when you let go of such things.
(Dongrae Blowfish Soup)
Thanks for the help from both of you.
It's nothing. I just helped a bit by your side.
I thought you were going somewhere. Aren't you going to drive?
What?
Oh, my condition isn't so well today.
You two can have a chat. I should go get some rest.
Goodness, I suddenly feel tired.
What's with him?
Anyway, where are you and Ms. Han going?
Chairman Oh of Miseong Group invited us...
to their Yangsuri villa.
To the Yangsuri villa?
Yes. My mom said she'll be the model for Miseong Apparel.
So she can't just say no.
I know that Jae Bin told you.
I don't know how he put it, but you don't have to mind it.
You should trust Ms. Han.
I will. If I don't trust my mom, who will?
- Mom. - Hey, you got back early.
I came to help because I knew you'd be preparing things alone.
Gosh, you're the best.
- What's that? - Isn't this yours?
It's not.
Really?
That's strange. Then whose is this?
Give that to me.
It is mine.
I must have dropped it when I came here last time.
This is so pretty.
It would look good on you.
Really? I like it too.
I'll take the brooch too.
Why was she here?
Was she here with Dad?
Where have you been? Where's Woo Cheol?
I asked the blowfish soup place to take care of him.
What? I told you to not ask them anymore.
No one else can treat him better than them.
And Woo Cheol likes them too.
But still.
I won't be working with Mr. Yoon anymore.
What he did was wrong, but you didn't have to fire him...
- as soon as you heard me. - It's not because of you.
He didn't do his job as my manager.
Please reconsider that, would you?
Let's talk about this later. I have to go.
I'll go with you.
I thought you weren't coming.
I don't want you to go there by yourself.
Woo Cheol is in good hands too.
You suddenly accepted their advertisement offer...
and their invitation knowing that it'll be uncomfortable.
And that's where you and President Shin met.
It's where Mr. Yoon misunderstood your relationship.
Yes.
Is that okay?
I said I'll be their model, and I signed the contract.
And the chairman kindly invited me over.
It'll be weirder to avoid this.
We'll be late. Get ready.
What? You got fired?
Don't tell Mom, Dad, and Jae Hee yet.
I'm afraid they'll get angry at Woo Cheol.
Fine.
I never knew Ms. Han was that harsh.
She knows you.
Mom, Dad, and Jae Hee always babysits Woo Cheol too.
I thought she wouldn't fire me at once.
She's quick with making decisions.
I loved looking after Ms. Han.
Can you talk to her for me?
Tell her that nothing like this will ever happen again.
No matter what happens, no matter how frustrated I get,
I'll pretend like I don't see, hear,
or know anything.
- Can you please help me? - No.
Do Bin, please?
You have to do everything on your own from now on.
If you want to keep working, go show her that you are ready.
I have to go cover a case. Bye.
Do Bin. Hey! Yoon Do Bin!
You!
My gosh.
President Shin, it's time to leave.
Let's leave after a little longer.
Yes, sir.
Ms. Han became our model just as you wanted.
Why do you seem distressed?
Because people that shouldn't meet are about to meet again.
What?
Mr. Kwon has been acting a little odd lately.
What about him?
I heard that he's been looking into Ms. Han's history.
Who's behind him?
I haven't found out yet.
Make sure if it's Vice President Oh or Chairman Oh.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Welcome.
Thank you for inviting us.
Welcome, Woo Jung.
Hello, we meet again.
Chairman Oh and Myung Joon will be here in a moment.
Let's grab some tea while we wait.
Can you help my mom?
What?
Oh, me?
Sure.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
You said you were going to turn down our offer.
I did.
You said you didn't want...
to get involved with Miseong just like I didn't want you to.
I made this choice to never get involved with this family again.
You know how persistent your grandpa is.
I didn't accept your offer or President Shin's offer.
I accepted Chairman Oh's offer.
You know...
that my mom has a misunderstanding about you and Dad, right?
I figured that my mom was wrong because she's overly sensitive.
But suddenly, I began to think that it might not be the case.
What do you mean?
Isn't this yours?
How's work? Is it fun?
Yes.
I heard you're a contract worker. Isn't that tough?
I heard there are some discriminations.
I think it's just up to me.
I'm more worried about how competent I am,
not the fact that I'm a contract announcer.
I'll get Mom and Hwa Kyung.
Hello, President Shin.
You got here early.
Yes.
What's with that face?
Mom didn't want to be a model for Miseong Apparel.
I was wondering if you pushed her into this.
I hope you wouldn't think of it that way.
For whatever reason,
if your mother has decided to do something despite your opinion,
- you should respect her... - You know, don't you?
Both Hwa Kyung and Ms. Oh...
are suspicious of the relationship between you and my mom.
My mom being a model for your company isn't the problem.
It's unpleasant to think that she is misunderstood in that way.
It's unbearable.
I understand.
I don't want her to be misunderstood...
ever again.
Please.
I get what you mean.
But where is she anyway?
She's in a room with Hwa Kyung.
I was on my way to tell them that the tea is ready.
I'll tell them and say hi as well.
My parents and I come to this villa often.
This brooch isn't my mother's or mine.
So why do you think this was on the floor?
I'll ask again.
Is this brooch yours?
I don't know why you're asking me that,
but it's not mine.
There's more than one of those.
I hope it's not yours.
If it is,
that means you were here before.
And you wouldn't have been alone.
- My dad and... - That's enough.
Whatever you imagine, it's not true.
It's just one advertisement.
After that, I want nothing more with Miseong.
That's why I gave in.
Too bad.
I don't believe you anymore.
What?
I need to check if this brooch is yours or not.
Then I'll know the truth.
You're here too now.
Yes. Mom's waiting with the tea.
Let's go.
Dad.
Yes?
Shouldn't you greet Ms. Han?
She's our guest.
Hello. We meet again.
Yes. Thanks for inviting me.
Mr. Seo.
(Visiting Room)
I thought I'd miss you again today.
I said I have nothing to say.
Why do you keep bothering me?
I came to hear the truth.
Aren't you locked up in here against your will?
Please tell me.
Tell me what I can do to help.
The only way you can help me...
is to not come here again.
Please stop tormenting me.
Miseong Group doesn't have an illegal slush fund.
I'd lost my mind then.
I was crazy.
I'm here because I want to. Do you get that?
Mr. Seo.
You can't hide the truth like this.
One person's courage can change the world.
That's like trying to smash a rock with eggs.
David beat Goliath.
That's a joke.
Are you saying...
you're David?
I'm just trying to have the courage he did.
He toppled a giant...
by just a small rock he threw with courage.
Do you really...
not fear Miseong?
More than fear,
I feel responsibility.
Hwa Kyung's best friend's mother is the famous Han Joo Won,
and you agreed to be in our advertisement.
I'm so pleased.
You fool.
Tell me how much you were hurt.
Why can't you tell me? Why?
Let go of me.
Ms. Han.
Are you pleased too?
Mom.
What? Why?
Hwa Kyung asked a question.
What did she ask? I was thinking of something else.
Woo Jung and I are good friends...
and you agreed to be in our advertisement.
I asked if you're pleased.
Of course I am.
Sorry. I left something in the car.
Sorry.
Secretary Min, what is it?
What?
Who came to see Mr. Seo?
Producer Yoon Do Bin from MBS?
You're locked up in here,
your son's in a Macau prison cell,
and your wife's in prison for embezzling from the foundation.
Was Shin Myung Joon behind all that?
Does that mean he's the ringleader behind...
the Miseong slush fund?
No.
Then what?
Shin Myung Joon's just the errand boy.
Then what?
Who would it be?
Chairman Oh?
Find out what Mr. Seo told him.
Let's talk.
No. I can't do anything to cause suspicion.
The brooch. Is it yours?
I'm asking if it's yours.
It is.
Hwa Kyung can't find out.
If she finds out we met here in private,
things will keep getting worse.
We must keep it from her.
Why are you so scared?
We were both here.
So what?
We shouldn't tell them,
but we didn't do anything to worry that others might find out.
Yeon Hee is sick.
What?
Hwa Kyung's mother isn't mentally stable.
She erased her own memory after the real Hwa Kyung died.
We can't agitate her.
You know she suspects us, don't you?
It's getting worse and worse.
If she decides to believe that we're really having an affair,
she'll spin out of control.
Are you afraid of Chairman Oh?
It's a misunderstanding.
That's all it is. Don't make it seem more than it is.
How will you explain the brooch?
Grandpa's here.
Okay.
Thanks.
I haven't been in such good a mood for a while.
Thank you for having us, sir.
I should thank you.
You're hard to have you, but you agreed to model for Miseong Apparel.
Let's meet up like this more often.
Sure.
Your daughter takes after you...
and does well on TV.
I was very impressed.
Thank you, sir.
I really mean it.
If you'd come on time,
Hwa Kyung might have lost out.
Father.
I can't side with her all the time just because she's family.
But I've been wondering.
Why were you late on that day?
Pardon?
It was a very important day for you. Why were you late?
I still want to know that too.
I recently asked Producer Yoon when I ran into him,
but he didn't say anything except that it's personal to you.
We can't exactly say that it's personal to her.
She got hurt...
because she did something that her friend should have done.
Mom.
She stayed by her friend's dad as he passed away instead of her.
Your friend's dad's death?
Goodness, he wasn't even your father.
Not anyone can do that.
You're right.
What was your friend doing?
She...
(Secret and Lies)
- I'm sorry, I... - Is this because of President Shin?
I heard you had a history with President Shin.
- Don't go off alone. - Okay.
Let's go.
- Hwa Kyung, do you have it? - Honey.
I was wondering if my husband was seeing...
- Chairman Oh. - Grandpa.
Woo Cheol, wait here for a moment.
Woo Cheol!
Goodness, it's Jae Hee.
Dad, what should I do?
What? You lost Woo Cheol?
