I just need you to be gone.
Then everything will be over.
I know you hate him, but he's your birth father.
You could lose everything...
in a second.
If anyone who knows you shows up...
Seon Joo.
Did you just see Mr. Park?
I'm so glad you did this.
You've done well, Hwa Kyung.
What are you talking about?
Why do you think I'm here?
Hwa Kyung.
Do you think I'm here...
because he's my birth father?
No?
You might say no,
but you're here because you're worried about your sick father.
You might hate him,
but you're here because you missed him.
Don't be absurd.
Don't talk as if you know everything about me.
Worried about him?
Missed him?
I don't feel that way.
I...
am not you, Woo Jung.
Hwa Kyung.
Mr. Park.
Woo Jung, was it you?
I thought...
I saw Seon Joo while I was half asleep.
Right, the program is supposed to be on air today.
That was Ms. Kim Soon Young, who was in the same orphanage...
as Park Seon Joo when they were young.
After much persuasion,
we finally found out who Park Seon Joo is.
Park Choon Sung did see his daughter too,
but he couldn't tell her what he wanted to say.
The production crew...
tried very hard to persuade Park Seon Joo...
in order to show their reunion on TV.
It's stuffy in here.
I need to go for a walk.
Won't you watch the program?
We continued to try to reach her.
However, his daughter, Park Seon Joo,
refused to be on the program.
And Park Choon Sung decided to record an interview...
instead of coming out to the studio.
Mr. Park wants to ask his daughter...
for her forgiveness over TV.
Director Park.
This is Shin Myung Joon.
I am very disappointed that you disregarded my request.
However, Park Seon Joo...
is currently living a happy life with great parents.
Ms. Han, we're about to show Mr. Park's interview.
What's with her?
I am standing at a crossroad right now.
I am also thinking about what broadcasting really means.
Ms. Han, why aren't you sticking to the script?
We have to show Mr. Park's interview right now.
I have always believed that TV programs must always...
satisfy the viewers' right to know.
But is that truly the best decision?
Ms. Han!
If we are to disregard...
someone's painful past to make a TV program,
or even worse, if we cut the wound deeper,
would that truly be the right decision?
If he wants to ask her for forgiveness,
I believe he should ask her himself, and not through a TV program.
Do whatever you want, Ms. Han.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Park.
This is Yoon Do Bin.
Yes, you're right.
I decided to air this program.
And I will decide if I will air...
Mr. Park's interview as the person in charge.
We scheduled to air Park Choon Sung's interview today,
but we decided not to broadcast it.
We can blur his face...
and alter his voice,
but Park Seon Joo will know.
If that airs,
the painful memories that she tried to erase...
will resurface.
It will be like reliving the trauma of being...
abandoned by her birth father.
I feel bad for both the dad...
and the daughter.
They won't air the interview?
I feel really bad for her birth father.
But he abandoned her.
Going on TV now can't make up for that.
I would hate it too if I were his daughter.
Hey, we all know that too.
But if she decides to do that,
it means she will create a broadcasting accident on purpose.
I'm sure Do Bin made the decision.
- Don't worry... - How can I not be worried?
His superiors won't have this.
I always tell Do Bin to compromise with his superiors,
but he always causes a huge trouble.
Goodness, he's so stubborn.
Do Bin will take care of everything.
Ms. Park is not ready to meet her birth father.
She does not have the will to forgive him yet.
What we do to be considerate of her...
may become...
a sharp knife that hurts her heart.
Also,
if her current parents, who brought her up...
with love and care, get shocked and hurt,
I would like to say that it's far from what we wish to do...
as people in the broadcasting business.
We still need to cover about 20 minutes.
I'll have last week's episode ready as a backup.
However, regardless of how this program goes,
the father and the daughter will meet.
Mr. Park will ask his daughter for forgiveness...
and get his surgery with less burden on his heart.
During the remaining hour, we will be airing...
Kim Shi Yeon's episode from last week again.
Dear viewers, I apologize.
Please don't think of this as a rerun.
I hope you could understand this...
as a choice we had to make to protect someone's privacy...
and to not disregard someone's painful history.
Today's episode...
Do you like Han Joo Won that much?
You're completely hooked.
- When did you get here? - My goodness.
Don't you know how jealous I get?
I had something on my mind.
I will gladly take your criticism.
What do you think about her?
What about her?
As a guest for our company's 30th anniversary event.
Well, not bad.
She's not excellent, but just not bad?
- Good job. - Thanks.
Well done, Ms. Han.
Good job, Ms. Han.
You did even better.
Were you anxious?
Thanks for making a tough call.
You're the one who did well.
Why are you here?
- Thank you. - I didn't do anything.
You should thank Ms. Han.
Can we talk?
I'll be at the cafe.
Let's have dinner.
How about pork belly?
- Deal. - Deal.
He caused a huge problem,
so Do Bin will submit a written apology, and Ms. Han...
Will she be fired?
No way, she's such a famous anchor.
Right.
Oh, no.
I can't disappear or hide.
I wish I had an invisibility cloak.
Wait.
She doesn't even remember me?
Mr. Yoon.
Yes, Ms. Han. Are you okay? The broadcast was quite serious.
I'm meeting someone at the cafe.
Check my outfit for tomorrow.
Sure thing.
The change of season must be getting to you.
I'm thinking about the old days.
When Seon Joo was five,
a framed photo fell from the wall.
She hurt her right ear.
It was around this time.
Seon Joo cried...
from shock and pain.
There was blood everywhere.
I was so concerned.
That day,
I couldn't seem to find a hospital.
Instead,
there were flowers everywhere.
Seon Joo, hang in there.
I'll make you get better soon.
I finally got her to a hospital...
and Seon Joo was being treated.
That's when the nurses suddenly said...
that my feet were stained with flowers.
Flower stains?
My gosh. Sir, look at your feet.
Don't they hurt?
You were worried about your daughter so much...
and wanted to get her to a hospital in such a rush...
that you even forgot to wear shoes.
I felt no pain.
I didn't know I was bleeding either.
I could only think of one thing.
"Seon Joo's in pain."
"I must make her get better."
That's how much you thought about her.
Why didn't I remember that feeling...
and keep her?
Was it because I forgot how I felt...
when I carried Seon Joo that day?
I was afraid...
my poverty would drag her down too.
I did nothing for her as a dad.
I was afraid I'd burden her.
I believed I did the right thing.
I was...
I was so foolish.
Can I ask why you didn't stick to the script?
It's just as I said on TV.
I think...
you compromise with the world better than you think.
Black and gray, one each.
What does that mean?
Regardless of how it happened, thank you...
for being so considerate.
Park Choon Sung...
goes in for surgery tomorrow at 2pm.
You may hate him, but he's your birth father.
Park Choon Sung's her birth father?
Then Shin Hwa Kyung is the daughter...
mentioned on TV?
Something could go wrong in the OR.
Shouldn't you see him before then?
Wasn't she related to the Miseong Group people?
I grilled fish for a full hour.
I stink.
Woo Cheol.
Do you remember me?
But why are you alone today?
Woo Cheol is waiting for his sister.
(Mom)
Press the call button.
Woo Cheol, it's Mom.
Where are you?
Woo Cheol meets his sister at 7pm.
Mom will pick you up today.
Are you outside your academy?
Wait where you are. I'm almost there.
Mom will come for me.
Woo Cheol doesn't like to wait.
I must go home.
Woo Cheol, you said your mom is coming.
Woo Cheol has to leave at 7pm.
She will worry.
But do you remember who I am?
Yes, I know you.
Mom, Dad, stop. Fight later.
You must be the only man who drinks soda like alcohol.
Your memory is amazing.
Where did he go?
Hello, Woo Cheol.
Hello, nice man.
I went from bad man to nice man.
Thank you, nice Woo Cheol.
- Thank you. - Good boy.
Woo Cheol.
- Drink this. - Soda. Thank you.
Take your time.
(Mom)
It's your mom calling.
I'll tell her where you...
A woman who takes someone else's things is a bad woman.
Mom.
- Jae Hee gave me soda. - You're now a bad woman.
Woo Cheol.
Here you are.
Woo Cheol was drinking soda.
Han... Han Joo Won?
No way.
Hello. I'm a huge fan of yours.
- No way. - My gosh.
The order...
Han Joo Won?
Hello. I'm Yoon Do Bin's mom.
He's my husband.
Right, you work with our eldest son.
Nice to meet you.
Woo Jung told me about you.
She said Mr. Yoon's family...
look out for Woo Cheol a lot.
- Thank you. - What an honor.
It's nothing.
You're so beautiful in real life.
Anyway, what happened to today's broadcast?
Mom, you just met her.
I'm worried about our son, okay?
I'll see to it that Mr. Yoon isn't penalized.
You needn't say that.
If Do Bin did something wrong, he should be responsible.
He's a man.
You're so beautiful.
He's in pain.
Soda.
We scheduled to air Park Choon Sung's interview today,
but we decided not to broadcast it.
We can blur his face...
and alter his voice,
but Park Seon Joo will know.
If that airs,
the painful memories that she tried to erase...
will resurface.
It will be like reliving the trauma of being...
abandoned by her birth father.
Thank... Thank you, Seon Joo.
I am so sorry.
What do you want to say to me?
"I had to abandon you because we were poor."
"I had no other choice."
"I am sorry. I was wrong." Something like this?
Did I despise you?
Not at all. I'm thankful that you abandoned me.
If you hadn't, I couldn't have lived a good life with my great parents.
- Seon Joo. - Don't call me that.
My name is Shin Hwa Kyung.
I am not Seon Joo. And you...
are not my father either.
Seon Joo.
How dare you ask me for forgiveness now?
And on TV?
Did you want to tell the world that I am your daughter...
and push me back into that ditch?
It's not like that.
I just wanted to know how you were doing.
I wanted to see how pretty you have grown up.
I just wanted to see you...
and have you in my arms for once.
I will...
forgive you...
if that's what you want.
I forgive you. Will that do now?
So please leave.
Please get out of my sight!
I prayed for you.
That you...
would rather die.
That you wouldn't wake up from your surgery.
I can't lose everything because of you.
Don't ever look for me again. That's how you can help me.
Goodbye.
Seon Joo...
Seon Joo, I am sorry.
Seon Joo.
You're home.
Mom. What happened during the program today?
I thought you would say I did a good job.
Of course, you did a good job.
Hwa Kyung didn't want you to air that episode.
Did Mr. Yoon also agree with this?
Thankfully, yes.
What if you and Mr. Yoon get punished by the chief?
I must take the blame alone.
I, Han Joo Won, was the director for today's episode.
You're so cool. That is so like Han Joo Won.
Have you been with Mr. Park until now?
Yes. His surgery is tomorrow.
Even Hwa Kyung, his daughter, doesn't go there.
She was there today.
Hwa Kyung met Mr. Park?
She stopped by while he was asleep.
Why do you go there so often?
He's Hwa Kyung's dad, but I just feel bad for him.
I think about how great it would've been...
if my dad was alive.
Are you ready for the interview tomorrow?
Rule number one, confidence. Rule number two, confidence.
Just agree to any unexpected questions.
Yes, I do have many weaknesses.
However, I feel confident that I can turn...
my weaknesses into my strengths.
Give me a bump.
Gosh.
You want Han Joo Won as a guest on Miseong Home Shopping?
Businesses are done by people.
Han Joo Won is considered as a very special person.
We've asked Han Joo Won many times...
to become a model for our products,
but she declined all of our offers.
And she did the same for all corporate advertisements.
She only appears on advertisements and events for small businesses.
That's exactly why you should go get her.
Go and pay for that image she has as a TV personality...
who has principles and standards.
Han Joo Won isn't that relevant anymore. She's over 50.
Even he said she isn't excellent. She's just not bad.
Who's he? Myung Joon?
Yes, Dad.
My goodness.
This is why Myung Joon thinks you're a joke...
and acts as if he owns this place.
What's so bad about that?
What?
You know how important his job is. And he's good at it.
Stop comparing him to Hwa Kyung,
and just name him as the successor for the group.
Are you serious?
Do you value your husband over your dad...
and Miseong Group?
I value Miseong Group...
more than Myung Joon, no, even you.
- Dad. - No.
It's Chairman Oh.
I apologize.
Myung Joon is too ambitious.
It'll catch up to him one of these days.
What if he brings down Miseong Group with him?
Then you should give him your approval.
His ambition will become passion only then.
Have you forgotten?
I don't care how competent he is.
I won't hand over Miseong Group to anyone who isn't related by blood.
Dad.
Come in.
You two can keep talking. I'll come back later...
No. We're done talking.
Vice Chairman Oh, you may go.
Are you going to that interview?
Goodness. You are so stubborn.
Who do you take after?
What is with this color?
It doesn't look good on you.
I'll do well on the interview, Grandpa.
Why do you look so down?
Do you not feel confident?
It's not that.
Just because you are the number one candidate as my successor...
doesn't mean that I won't evaluate you.
I know that.
Do not fail on whatever you begin.
And giving up because you're afraid you'll fail...
is only worse.
Do you know...
why lions push their cubs off cliffs?
It's to teach them...
that only those who survive can become the king of the jungle.
Yes, Grandpa.
Good. You may go.
Did he ask you for a written apology?
Did he ask you for a resignation?
It's not like you didn't air the program.
Why would he fire you over this?
If anyone gets fired, it should be me.
Why are you taking the responsibility?
I'll go meet the chief.
Ms. Han, this is huge. It's huge.
Our ratings went up five percent more than last week.
We got 15 percent countrywide.
What?
The viewer board is going crazy too.
"Han Joo Won is cool. Han Joo Won was awesome."
"Han Joo Won is a true TV personality."
The comments are great.
Han Joo Won...
is the most searched keyword right now.
The viewers were the first to take notice...
of how we really felt.
I knew it. Ms. Han, you're different.
Right, Mr. Yoon.
Aren't you the judge for the interview today?
I am.
But I must stop by somewhere before.
Where?
To see Mr. Park.
I need to tell him why his interview wasn't aired.
Hello?
What? What do you mean?
Why is Mr. Park gone?
I came to check his vitals before the surgery,
but he was already gone.
He took out the IV himself too.
He really shouldn't be doing this.
He's not well either.
We're looking for Mr. Park Choon Sung.
He's a 55-year-old male patient.
He's in his patient uniform.
We're looking for Mr. Park Choon Sung.
He's a 55-year-old...
Did something happen to Park Choon Sung?
We're looking for Mr. Park Choon Sung.
He's a 55-year-old male patient.
He's in his patient uniform.
Did you find him?
No, we can't find him anywhere.
I think the male patient who went up to the roof...
is the one you're looking for.
The roof?
Thank you.
I will forgive you if that's what you want.
I forgive you. Will that do now?
So please leave.
Please get out of my sight!
(Secret and Lies)
Have you lost your mind?
You have no right to give orders.
If you give up this interview,
you might never get another chance.
Sorry, Mom.
Ms. Han, where are you going?
Leave it to me.
How can I go on TV?
Was being an announcer a dream you can just throw away?
After a brief and careful discussion...
Just a moment, please.
