I can't stand...
how distant we've become.
We always fight every time we meet.
It's like you're trying to kill me. This isn't going to work.
President Wang, there's something I've been thinking about.
What do you think about...
adopting a son?
What?
I never had a mother growing up.
It'd be nice to call someone my mother.
If I become your adopted son, I'm sure...
you won't try to kill me.
What do you say...
you adopt me as your son?
What? My son?
Why? Don't you like the idea?
If you adopt me as your son, we can reconcile with each other...
and go back to being on good terms.
Then your life will become a lot easier.
You should go to a hospital.
You've completely lost your mind.
If you want to call someone your mother,
it should be Ji Hwa Ja since you love her so much.
Why don't you ask her to adopt you?
We've gone through so much, so you've grown on me a lot more.
Stop saying something so revolting.
Is that a rejection?
I thought about it a lot, and I'm being quite serious.
I've had enough of your nonsense.
If you must publish Jenny's book,
I want you to show it to me before it gets published.
Yes, of course.
I didn't know he still needed to get a lot of treatments.
If you ever get the chance to do so,
you should tell him not to overwork himself.
He doesn't listen to anyone, but I feel like he'll listen to you.
- Okay, I'll tell him. - I need to get going now.
Oh, right.
What is it?
What's your mother's blood type?
My mom's blood type? It's B.
- And your blood type is AB? - Yes, why do you ask?
The materials I got from Mr. Ahn stated that her blood type is O.
Really? Why would it say that?
It was probably a mistake. I'm sure you're right.
- Yes. - I'll be off now.
I wonder why he wrote it like that.
Man Su never makes a mistake.
Jenny, where are you?
I'm at the cafe.
My grandpa wants to eat lunch with us.
Really? Then I'll go to the office.
Okay.
I'm really starting to adore Eun Seok these days.
I didn't know this,
but I'm starting to realize that he's a great guy.
Is that so?
Yes, he doesn't seem like a guy who will go behind my back.
President Wang.
Do you know who Oh Eun Seok is?
Of course, I know who he is.
He's the grandson of J Group's chairman.
What was the purpose of that question?
Every time I look at you, I can't help but pity you so much.
You're even going to mock me now?
I'm tired. You should leave.
Myung Su.
Your son is getting married soon.
(Chairman, Oh Da Jin)
He's been head over heels for Jenny for such a long time.
And now, she's finally going to become your daughter-in-law.
Jenny is a very sweet girl,
but I really don't like her mother.
Once they get married,
I hope you'll look over your son.
Protect him so that his nasty mother-in-law can't harm him.
Okay?
Why are you suddenly ending the conversation?
Tell me who Oh Eun Seok is.
He might end up...
hurting you a lot more than I did.
You used to act like you were a gentleman with a big heart.
But I guess you're no different.
I can't believe you're jealous of him.
Eun Seok is very transparent unlike you.
He's a great son-in-law.
I was once dumb enough to be fooled by you.
But don't be too jealous.
I'll be off then.
Why does your grandfather suddenly want to eat lunch with us?
He enjoys eating lunch with his grandchildren.
We'll probably do this more often from now on.
Okay.
He already decided on the restaurant. Let's go.
Okay.
I thought you weren't feeling well.
I feel a lot better after meeting the doctor yesterday.
Ae Young.
Will you stop being so serious?
You look really funny every time you try to be serious.
Then should I try harder?
Go ahead and give it a try.
What are you doing?
Ae Young, I'm seriously begging you.
Will you please save me just this once?
You see, my grandfather usually...
doesn't think of me as a human being.
But these days, he comes over to me and gives me a smile.
He's become relieved because he thinks his immature grandson...
has finally come to his senses.
But if he finds out about this,
he won't even look at me like I'm human.
Ae Young, will you please consider my future?
Threatening me with the baby like this...
is the same thing as telling me to die.
If I die, my mom will kill herself.
And my sister might die as well due to depression.
The lives of three people are in your hands.
I don't know about that, but I am responsible for my baby.
What?
That baby is more important to me than anyone else in this world.
So if you want to die, go ahead.
I care more about this baby than I care about you.
Ae Young.
Please don't do this to me.
Please cut me some slack just this once.
If your life is on the line because of our baby,
I'll just go ahead and get out of your hair.
I'll get lost,
so go ahead and live a great life.
Hey, Ae Young.
This is my first baby.
During my past two marriages,
I could never get pregnant even though I really wanted a baby.
So this baby is like a gift to me.
But you're telling me to get rid of the baby?
I can take care of this baby without you.
So don't mind us.
Hey, wait. Come on, Ae Young.
I'll give you what you want and disappear.
I hope you receive a lot of love from your grandfather.
Hey, wait.
Ae Young, I know...
that you're only acting like this out of anger.
But you should think about your future.
This is just wrong.
This is quite a large amount of money.
This will get you going for an entire year.
So why don't you go to the hospital...
and get some good rest for a year?
Then you can start looking for a decent guy.
Ae Young.
Come on. I know Ae Young.
She's the most selfish person I know.
She can't raise a baby.
I'm sure I made the right choice.
She just put on a show so she could get money from me.
I already gave her money. I made the right choice.
My gosh, I really didn't need to get on my knees.
You got here early.
- Hello. - Hi, Grandpa.
Hello. Let's sit down.
Jenny.
Have you ever heard anything about Eun Seok's parents?
I heard they passed away due to a car accident.
To be honest, it wasn't a car accident.
Pardon? Then what was it?
I think it's time that you know the truth.
Oh, I see. What's that?
The truth is,
my dad died while he was working as a police officer.
He got injured by a knife during the process...
of trying to arrest a brutal criminal.
And he ended up dying in a week.
Eun Seok's mom fell ill due to shock and ended up dying as well.
My goodness.
Who was the brutal criminal?
Have you ever heard of the Black Rose?
"The Black Rose"?
No, I've never heard of that person before.
I'm not surprised. It happened dozens of years ago.
Well,
this is my first time hearing about the criminal.
Is the Black Rose a woman?
Yes, she was very notorious even though she was a woman.
My goodness.
President Wang.
Do you know who Oh Eun Seok is?
I can't believe he's even...
trying to use Eun Seok to provoke me now.
What do you say you adopt me as your son?
And he even talked nonsense.
He must've lost his mind due to the accident.
Did the Black Rose end up getting caught?
No.
After having saved herself from getting arrested,
she suddenly disappeared completely.
After that day,
some people claimed to have seen her here and there,
but we could never confirm anything.
I see. It happened so long ago, so it must be hard to find her now.
Everyone thinks she's dead.
My grandpa is the only person who thinks she's still alive.
She's the most cunning person I know.
I'm definitely sure that she's still alive.
If that's the case, you must catch her.
Eun Seok ended up losing his parents because of her.
That's right, Jenny.
His aunt may have tried her best to take good care of him,
but he's been lonely ever since he was a kid.
I see.
The reason I'm telling you this...
is because he's a lonely kid,
and the death of his parents really hurt him a lot.
I'm sure.
So I hope you'll both take care of each other,
embrace each other, and always be warm to one another.
Okay, I'll make sure we live a happy life.
I promise we won't disappoint you.
I hope you'll take good care of my grandson.
Eun Seok, you should also be a good husband to Jenny.
All I want is for you guys to be happy.
I promise we'll be happy.
Then why don't we raise our glasses?
Congratulations on getting married. I really mean it.
Cheers.
(Profile)
Once you get married, you should finally be happy.
But I can't help but feel worried.
Why did it have to be Oh Eun Seok of all people?
Come in.
- Welcome. - How do you feel?
I feel a lot better. Were you worried?
Of course.
I thought you'd still be in the hospital, but I guess I was wrong.
I have so much to do. I can't be in the hospital.
Did you have lunch?
I had a late breakfast, but I'm still a little hungry.
I had a very light breakfast. Let's eat lunch first.
That sounds great.
There's a restaurant I know. Let's go there.
I didn't know you had such a terrible childhood.
My grandpa normally doesn't tell anyone about my parents.
I guess it means he thinks of you as a member of the family now.
By the way, do you really think the Black Rose is still alive?
I'm not sure.
I'm not as certain about that as my grandpa.
She could've gotten married.
She might be living a normal life as someone's wife and mother.
Just thinking of her living a normal life as a mother...
already gives me the creeps.
I doubt that she's living a normal life.
Something about her will stand out...
regardless of how hard she tries to hide her true colors.
She made both your parents die. She's such a horrible woman.
Whatever the case, I'm sure she isn't living a happy life.
Even if we catch her, the statute of limitations is over.
What kind of punishment...
could we possibly give her?
She's living a complete lie.
Forcing her to take off that mask will be a big enough punishment.
You're right.
Will you find her for me?
Yes, I'd love to do that.
Tell me everything you know about the Black Rose.
Even the best detectives gave up on finding her.
Who knows? Darkness reigns at the foot of the lighthouse.
She might actually be someone I know.
I'm being serious right now.
Can you show me everything you have regarding the Black Rose?
I have a lot of stuff I can show you.
Okay, sure. I'll send them to you.
Send them to me today, okay?
Okay.
The thing is,
remember that dermatologist I told you about?
Her mother asked me to introduce her to someone else.
What?
My goodness, what do you mean?
Young Man's planning to call her this week.
Yes, I know.
So I told her mother to give him more time.
But she doesn't want her daughter to meet Young Man.
My goodness, she specifically said his name and rejected him?
Yes, but she didn't tell me why.
She kept saying it can't be him.
She sounded really cold.
But we had a great talk yesterday.
She told me that she's very fond of Young Man.
I have no idea what she heard in that short period of time.
My goodness, how weird.
I think I should meet her.
I don't think that will help.
You should just find someone else for your son.
What in the world is going on?
Enough about your son.
What about Eun Ji?
Is she seeing anyone?
Eun Ji?
Her standards for men are way too high.
She told me that she didn't like any of the candidates...
that you suggested to her.
I actually have someone for her.
Who?
Do you know who President Ahn Man Su is?
He's the president of Triple Hotel.
Yes, that's right.
My goodness, did he ask you to find someone for him?
No.
But he broke off his engagement.
Yes, I know that.
All the single ladies started calling their matchmakers...
after they heard the news.
You have no idea.
My goodness.
So many ladies with impressive backgrounds...
are asking their matchmakers to hook them up with him.
And I figured your daughter would be...
a great match for President Ahn Man Su.
My goodness.
Why didn't I think of that?
But I heard he got severely injured. Is he okay now?
Yes, of course.
He's still suffering from leg pain after the surgery,
but he's completely healthy.
Is that so?
I didn't know that.
My brother's mother-in-law owns this place.
- Yes, I know. - Really?
My goodness, look who's here.
- Hello. - I'm here too.
What are you guys doing here together?
We're working on something together.
Yes, I heard.
I wanted to have some pork ribs...
along with your handmade kimchi stew.
I also came to have pork ribs.
When you come here, that's the one thing you must have.
Yes, it's really delicious. It's the main menu.
I'll prepare everything and bring it out for you.
Okay.
- Mom. - Were you working hard?
Yes, of course. My company really loves me.
My high-class image apparently suits the company.
I'm going to receive training and get promoted as the manager.
My goodness, really? I'm so happy for you.
Eun Ji, I came because my muscles feel so tense.
I'm glad you're here. Come here, Mom.
- Come over here. - Okay.
- Sit here. - Here?
Yes.
- My gosh. - I'll turn it on for you.
My goodness, this feels amazing.
- It's nice, right? - Yes.
You just sit here, Mom. I'll bring you some tea.
Okay.
My goodness, that feels nice.
- Here you go, Mom. - Okay, thanks.
Eun Ji, I've been thinking.
What do you think about President Ahn?
What? What are you talking about?
I mean, he's single right now.
So what if he's single?
He used to be head over heels for Jenny.
Are you saying I should date him or something?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Mom, will you please get to your senses?
I know I'm single, but this is so wrong.
So many single ladies who have impressive backgrounds...
have lined up to go on a date with Ahn Man Su.
What?
Let's be honest. If you end up marrying him,
it'll be a win for both you and Young Man.
But still,
I can't date someone who used to be crazy about Jenny.
Jenny is going to be my sister-in-law soon.
Mom, you're crossing the line here.
They were never married, and they weren't a couple either.
They lived in the same house, but they slept in different rooms.
I'm pretty sure that they didn't even hold hands.
How can you be so sure?
It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
And according to the matchmaker,
Ahn Man Su has a great personality.
He's apparently a really good person.
It's really hard to be a good person, you know.
On top of that, he has everything.
He's the best husband one could ever ask for.
Well, I can't disagree with that.
Then should I give it a shot?
Yes, you should. You have nothing to lose.
Let's give it a shot.
Okay, fine.
Here you go. Jenny is getting married soon.
How do you feel, Man Su?
I'm not sure.
It kind of feels like marrying off my little sister.
Really?
Yes.
I guess you finally managed to get over her.
No, not exactly.
If I'm going to live the rest of my life loving her,
I figured I should think of her as my little sister...
instead of being so crazy about her like I was in the past.
That sounds a little odd.
Really?
Yes, it sounds odd.
Jenny will be married soon.
It's time for you to move on.
You should get married and start a family of your own.
You never know what might happen.
Does that mean you're going to stay by Jenny's side...
just in case she ends up getting a divorce in the future?
No, that's not what I meant.
How can you say that? They're not even married yet.
You'll get punished if you say stuff like that.
The least you could do is wish them happiness.
I'm sorry. It was a joke.
I just want to stay by her side so I can protect her.
I'm so jealous of her. I've never even dated anyone.
But Jenny has a future husband and an ex-boyfriend...
who still looks out for her.
The world is so unfair.
Here's what you asked for.
I picked out the most important stuff.
May I ask why you need them?
Jenny wanted to take a look.
Jenny?
She wants to have an interest in finding the Black Rose.
I see.
I guess that's only right since she's your family now.
Yes.
Your face has brightened up after you got married.
Gosh, it hasn't even been that long.
I'm serious. Your skin looks better.
And you're always smiling.
Really?
Yes.
My daughter is really happy now that she has a mom.
She always has a huge smile on her face.
Song Ah also looks very happy.
I'm so happy for you guys.
Thank you.
Ma Eum.
Isn't the sewing machine too noisy?
No, it sounds like music to me.
I always used to work alone.
It's nice that you're here to keep me company.
I'm going to study until you're done.
My gosh, you really might get the highest score in the class.
Will that make you happy?
I'm sure I'll be very proud of you.
Then I'll try my best to get the highest score.
No, don't do that. You don't need to get the highest score.
Why?
Just study until you feel like it.
You can come in 2nd, 3rd, or last.
That doesn't matter to me.
You'll always be my lovely and adorable daughter.
Okay.
- By the way, Mom. Grandma... - Yes?
keeps crying in her sleep.
And I think it's because she keeps reading...
that scrapbook about Aunt Kyung Ah before she goes to sleep.
She reads that scrapbook before she goes to sleep?
Yes, she reads it all the time.
Sometimes, she even reads it for an hour.
My goodness.
I didn't know it was that serious.
Ma Eum, have you noticed anything else that's peculiar?
She sometimes goes missing in the middle of the night.
Two days ago, she slept in the living room...
because she had trouble falling asleep.
Yes.
Ma Eum, if you ever notice anything in the middle of the night,
you should come to my room and tell me.
Or if you're too sleepy to do that, you can just call me.
Okay, Mom.
I thought she had gotten better.
But I guess it's become worse.
She can't even sleep properly these days.
Are we going to work right away...
without even taking a small coffee break?
Am I being too inflexible?
Yes, but I know you're a bulldozer when it comes to working.
Then how about we sing a song?
A song?
I really...
like guitars.
It reminds me of back when I used to sing with my dad.
I see.
- What do you want to sing? - This is way too sudden.
I'm sorry for asking for a break. Let's just get to work.
No, I just want to give it a try.
What should we sing?
How about "Heartless Blues"? I like that song.
I really like your taste in music.
My dad also used to like that song.
It's very heartrending. Your mind becomes blank.
I'll play the guitar. You should sing.
Okay.
There's no more use in begging
For you have changed
I can no longer ask you to stay by my side
All you can do is leave
- Those glimmering memories - Those glimmering memories
- Are making me cry tonight - Are making me cry tonight
- I shouldn't have walked this path - I shouldn't have walked this path
- If I knew it was going to hurt me - If I knew it was going to hurt me
You're a great singer.
Jenny likes people who can sing.
Come on. I'm going to give you a yellow card.
I'm sorry. She's like a little sister to me.
- I'm serious. - I didn't say anything.
Here are some materials regarding the Black Rose.
That brutal criminal?
Don't you have a photo?
It would've been easier to catch her if we knew her face.
But unfortunately, no one ever saw her properly.
I'll read it and take a look at my surroundings...
and see if anyone around me could be the Black Rose.
Okay, don't forget to report it to me if you happen to find her.
Okay.
"The only thing we know about the Black Rose..."
"is that she has a tattoo of a black rose on her shoulder."
"And with the bloodstain that we found,"
"we were only able to confirm that her blood type is O."
Seriously? The black rose tattoo and her blood type...
are the only clues they found?
(The only thing we know about the Black Rose...)
(is that she has a tattoo of a black rose on her shoulder.)
(Shady Mom-in-law)
- Have you heard of the Black Rose? - Who's that?
She was a brutal criminal who even once injured someone with a knife.
She even ended up killing someone.
Did you give this to Jenny?
No, it wasn't me. It was probably Oh Eun Seok.
- What do you mean? - Didn't you know that...
Oh Eun Seok is interested in the Black Rose?
Why are you interested in that case?
My grandpa's been looking for that woman for a very long time.
