(Episode 20)
When did things start to go wrong?
Goodness. She brought so much food.
Professor Kang.
Snap out of it.
What do I do if you're going to be like this?
I'm sorry, Mom. This happened because I'm a loser. I'm sorry.
You have nothing to apologize for.
I let you marry the cheater, so it's my fault.
- We're back. - I'm home.
What is all this? Did a war break out or something?
Grandma.
Gosh, my sweetheart. Did you have fun at the academy?
Yes.
Dad.
Yes, Ri An.
Hey, your dad is tired. Go wash up, Ri An.
You should go to bed too, Professor Kang.
- Okay. - Okay. I'll head in, then.
Yes, go on.
Pa Ran, thanks for picking up Ri An.
Auntie. The bomb has finally gone off, hasn't it?
Okay, fine.
Is this place cursed or something?
Not a single day has gone by without trouble since we moved here.
Mom, did you drop off everything at Cho Hee's place?
Mom, are you not feeling well?
Mom.
What happened?
Let me in.
I'm okay.
I'm tired. I should go to bed early.
What is going on?
Is your mom home?
Yes. But did something happen at Cho Hee's place?
Mom looks so pale.
Something must've happened, right?
Well, it's...
What happened? Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
I'll just ask Cho Hee directly.
Hey! Don't.
Well, the thing is...
She's got a problem.
A problem?
What happened?
I'm sorry.
I'll need to stay here for a few days.
You can stay here for as long as you'd like,
but are you really not going to tell me what's going on?
I'll tell you another time.
All right.
I don't know what happened,
but you're here because you have nowhere else to go.
Don't think about anything. Just get some sleep.
You look like you're about to pass out.
Thank you, Sun Hae.
Don't mention it.
Yes, Ms. Gong. Come on in!
Ms. Gong is here.
Really?
Ms. Gong!
- How have you been, Sa Rang? - Good!
My gosh, Ms. Gong. You look so pretty today.
Did you have a blind date or something?
No, of course not.
Teacher, you're so beautiful.
Look at you speaking English in your daily life,
just like I told you to.
Of course!
My gosh. She speaks English every chance she gets these days.
To win the English contest, she should start getting ready.
You think she can win the contest?
Yes. Of course, that's our goal.
Sa Rang has been doing great so far,
so I'm sure she'll win the next contest.
- Right, Sa Rang? - Yes, ma'am!
- My gosh! - Shall we go study now?
Yes.
Ms. Gong, when's our next field trip?
- What? - "Field trip"?
Did you take her somewhere on a field trip?
Right, the day we went to the sea was supposed to be a secret.
"The sea"?
No, it's nothing.
You misheard her. She said "the bottom".
Sa Rang's grades have hit rock bottom. Right?
That's right. I promised Sa Rang...
that I'd take her on a field trip if her grades improved.
I'll give her a tour of Hankang University.
I'll motivate her to study harder.
I see. A tour of your school as a field trip.
Nice. Good idea.
We'll be in the room.
Right, Incheon is right by the sea.
Honey.
What?
That receipt from the sashimi restaurant...
Goodness. What are you trying to accuse me of this time?
I'm heading out. I need to practice at the indoor range.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Jang Geum, I made some porridge.
Have some porridge.
No. Take it and get out.
Mom, I heard you slapped Cho Hee in the face.
You're the one who lashed out at her.
Why are you bedridden like this?
Hey, Bo Ri.
And not everyone is capable of cheating on their spouses.
Cho Hee is having an affair? Does it make sense to you?
It'd be more believable if it were me.
Jang Geum.
Well, I'm just saying.
Yes, Jang Geum.
Shouldn't we talk to Cho Hee and hear what she has to say?
Cho Hee would never do that.
Don't bring her up again. She's no longer my daughter.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Don't you think you're being overly ambitious?
What if you get hurt?
Don't worry. This is nothing.
Gosh, you're so stubborn.
All right. Be careful.
Will do. I'll see you later.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
(Sisters Side Dish, Closed)
(Security System in Operation)
Delivery for you!
- Hello. - Hello.
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
I'm from the dry cleaners!
Hello. Here you go.
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
Hello?
It's me, Sun Hae. Have you talked to Cho Hee yet?
No.
She slept at my place last night.
She's going to stay with me for the time being.
So she didn't go home.
Hey, do you know what's going on?
No, I have no idea.
Really?
Cho Hee won't tell me.
Can you find out?
She won't tell me either.
All right. Bye.
You don't care to know what's going on in the family.
What are you talking about?
Mom slapped Cho Hee in the face...
because she cheated on Nam Gu.
But we both know that she'd never do such a thing.
Clearly, they got the wrong idea.
Even with all those guys chasing her back in school,
she studied with a full focus and did nothing else.
Something's gone wrong. Very wrong.
Anyway, can I get a ride if you're headed to your office?
I'm going to the recording studio.
I can't give you a ride today. I'm not going that way.
Then where are you going?
None of your business.
Move.
Fine, go!
You only care about yourself!
"Seo, Planning Team One's indispensable member,"
"is having an affair with one of the executives."
"They spend time together while pretending it's for work"?
"But the thing is, Seo has been married for ten years."
"She is trying to hide her extramarital affair..."
"by telling her co-workers how happy she is in her marriage."
My gosh. This is clearly about Ms. Seo.
Who posted this garbage on the anonymous forum?
It's nothing strange.
Rumors are already running rampant.
Even so, it's wrong to write a post about such a private matter.
By any chance...
Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me.
I wonder if this is why Mr. Ko wanted to meet with her.
Don't tell me that you believe the rumors.
Whether I believe it or not is not important.
Your name was brought up. That, in itself, is a problem.
If the media catches this and runs a story,
no one will trust the company anymore.
Why would anyone want to run a story about this?
It's a sensitive issue.
You shouldn't be there when we make our bid.
Take some time off and try to recharge yourself.
Mr. Ko.
I thought long and hard.
If we want to protect you and the company's reputation too,
this is the best solution.
You're protecting me?
Stepping away from the project...
is like admitting that the rumors are true.
Come on. You should know better.
You know reputation is everything, especially in this industry.
If the client finds out,
they'll use this as an excuse and pull out altogether.
And if the word spreads,
your career will be ruined. Am I wrong?
This time, I won't back down.
I want you off the project as of this moment.
If you can't accept it, you can hand in your resignation.
Mr. Ko.
You shouldn't have gotten yourself into a situation...
that people would misunderstand.
I won't back down.
Take some time off and clear your head.
I can't accept this.
I'm uncomfortable talking about this,
but it's a decision I made as the CEO of the company.
Team Two will jump in and help with the project.
Consider yourself informed.
If we lose this contract,
it'll negatively affect everyone on your team, not just you.
Do you want all their hard work to go down the drain?
What did I even do?
Why did you hit me?
What did I do?
Don't you know?
Here.
See it for yourself.
Let's hear what you'll say now that you've seen this.
Don't tell me that you believe this too.
Honey!
But anyone would be suspicious. You saw the photo too.
This is crazy.
What do they want me to do?
(Yeo Eui Kyung)
Ms. Seo, where are you?
Hey, Eui Kyung. What's up?
The secretary said you'd already left Mr. Ko's office.
We looked everywhere but couldn't find you.
I see. I stepped out for a moment.
I'll be back shortly.
You know that we have a meeting, right?
Mr. Yang is here.
Right, I totally forgot.
I'm sorry, Eui Kyung. At the moment, I'm...
Never mind.
Let me gather my thoughts before I head back in.
Let Mr. Yang know, please.
Ms. Seo.
Hello? Ms. Seo!
Where is she now?
She didn't say.
But it doesn't look like she can join us for this meeting now.
What should we do, Mr. Yang?
I guess we have no choice.
Why don't we meet again when Ms. Seo is back?
Okay. Then we'll see you later.
See you.
It sounds like Ms. Seo is in a serious predicament now.
Did Mr. Ko give her an ultimatum?
An ultimatum?
Is she getting fired?
Please.
Does someone else's misery amuse you? Does it make you happy?
No. It's not that, but...
Has the meeting been canceled? I came to tidy up.
It's been moved to later in the day.
I have to say, Mr. Yang has such thick skin.
If I were in his situation, I wouldn't be able to show up here.
We don't know for sure whether or not it's true.
And let's not generate more rumors.
I didn't even do anything.
Let's go.
- Wasn't it so much fun? - Yes.
I'm going to tell all my friends about it.
Sure.
Should I just quit...
and look after Ri An as a stay-at-home mom?
No, I can't do that.
With Nam Gu's single income, we'll never move back to Gangnam.
(Two people not allowed in at the same time)
(Change)
Do you want to practice?
My gosh.
Yes.
How much is it per round?
Have you done this before?
Yes, of course.
(Insert One Dollar)
Gosh, that scared me.
Do you really know how to do it?
Yes, of course. It's just that I haven't done this in so long.
Ma'am.
Come out. You'll get hurt.
I'm good at this.
This is nothing.
Fine. We're not liable for injuries even if you get hurt.
Don't worry.
I can protect myself. That's my life motto.
You got this, Seo Cho Hee.
You can do this.
(Hankang University Law School)
Have some.
How's Cho Hee? Is she okay?
How could she be okay?
She dragged herself to work after tossing and turning all night.
(Professor Choi Sun Hae)
You haven't tried calling her yet, have you?
No, not yet.
I asked her a bunch of times, but she won't tell me.
What is going on?
I've never seen her so upset.
We're just having some problems in our marriage.
In your marriage?
Don't tell me you upset her.
Me?
I mean,
did you cheat on her?
Cheat on her? No! No way.
Anyway, take her home as soon as you can.
As her husband, you should just give in and take her home.
Goodness, all right.
I have to go. I have a lecture.
- See you. - Yes, see you later.
So he didn't cheat on her. Then what's going on?
No, I should just ask her directly.
(Choi Sun Hae)
That was so close.
Okay, let me try once more.
I'll keep trying until I hit the ball.
- My gosh. - What?
Look.
She's trying so hard.
Look.
- Gosh! - That was so close.
She's getting there.
I thought she'd hit it this time.
This is the last time, Seo Cho Hee.
Nice!
I hit it!
I hit the ball!
- Did you see that? - Well done.
I really hit the ball.
I did it!
Ms. Seo.
Mr. Yang.
What's wrong with your arm? Did you hurt your arm?
No, not at all.
I feel great.
Well, let's go have the meeting.
I'm sorry.
Pardon?
I got you into this situation although it wasn't my intention.
I sincerely apologize.
And I'll meet with Mr. Ko and get it sorted out.
No, it's already been sorted out.
- Sorry? - And...
I should handle this matter as per Mr. Ko's wishes.
What do you mean?
I let the misunderstanding cause trouble for the company.
In hindsight, I think I should've been more thoughtful.
I'll be more careful from now on.
It's not your fault. I should have...
I apologize.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Mr. Yang.
I'll be careful from now on.
(The All-Round Wife)
This is awfully embarrassing. Seo Cho Hee, of all people.
- Are you bad-mouthing him now? - I'm stating the facts.
There's nothing wrong with my son.
Are you and Mom getting a divorce?
- Mom. - Don't call me your mom!
Maybe I should just disappear for your and my family's sake.
I'm sorry. I'll see you tomorrow.
What? What do you mean Mom collapsed?
