At least I'm single.
If you're married,
stop laying your eyes on other women.
Devote yourself to your wife.
Let's go.
You can't leave with that punk.
Don't tell me that...
you love such a lousy guy, Hee Jae.
Woo Hyuk is not a lousy guy.
I'm leaving for today.
How dare you, Woo Hyuk, desire Hee Jae.
Jaclyn sent me a photo of you together with Gi Yun.
It was unsightly.
I don't want any man to be next to you,
especially Gi Yun.
I'm sorry.
I went because of Soo A.
Did you see her?
It must be tough.
Despite hating Gi Yun down to your core,
you must face him to see Soo A.
Dad.
You must think I am...
ridiculous.
I became the chairman, just as I always wanted.
But why do I still feel anxious and troubled?
Dad, is this really for me?
My gosh.
Thanks a lot, Dad!
I really wanted this!
I promised I'd get it for you if you became the top of your class.
Gosh, Gi Yun, you're the top student at your school!
I have such an amazing son!
Come here.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you, Dad.
Sure.
Dad.
Dad, that was...
the happiest moment of my life.
The first and last time...
you gave me...
your approval.
- I'm sorry, Dad. - You!
- Dad. - You punk!
- Dad. - I don't need a second place!
You must be at the top! Take your place at the top!
I found a tutor for you...
and gave you my full support to stay as the top student.
Why can't you do it?
I'm out there working my fingers to the bone for your sake!
- Why can't you do this? - Dad!
I'm sorry, Dad.
- Dad, just this once... - Let go of me!
Dad...
Dad, this was...
the only present...
you gave me.
I always wanted to ask...
why you hated me so much...
and if you...
really thought of me as your son.
Gi Yun, what's wrong?
Is something going on? Why are you in tears?
Because of Dad.
Your dad?
All of a sudden?
He came to my mind...
because it was the foundation day.
You still had the phone he got for you.
Well, I guess it was the first present he gave you.
Mom.
Who's my birth father?
What are you talking about?
"Who's my birth father?"
I saw it.
That day, when Dad left on a business trip,
you got drunk and cried all day.
And...
I saw something I shouldn't have.
No.
No, this can't be true.
How can Gi Yun not be...
This can't be true.
No, it's not true.
Gi Yun is Chang Sung's blood!
This has to be wrong.
No.
No one can find out.
This secret must be buried with me.
Both Gi Yun and Chang Sung cannot find out.
Gi Yun is Chang Sung's son!
He's Chang Sung's blood!
(DNA Test Result)
(The samples do not match.)
I saw it.
I saw the DNA test result that said I wasn't Dad's son.
No, you're simply wrong, Gi Yun.
You saw something wrong.
I clearly saw it on that day.
I couldn't believe it.
So back in college,
I took another DNA test without telling anyone.
I confirmed once again that I wasn't his son!
I married Chang Sung,
thinking...
I was pregnant with his baby.
I never doubted...
that you were his biological son...
until the day I took the DNA test.
But...
there came a day...
when I became...
so anxious that you may not be...
your dad's blood.
That was why I had you two tested,
and the result said no.
I was frightened.
I thought I'd get kicked out if your dad found out...
you weren't his real son.
So I couldn't tell anybody...
and hid it.
Mom.
Gi Yun.
It must've been tough to handle...
when you found out you weren't his son.
It must've been scary and frightening.
My poor son. Goodness.
That was why...
I tried even harder to win his favor.
I was afraid I'd get kicked out and abandoned...
if I didn't behave well because I wasn't his son.
I thought he'd throw me out if he didn't want me.
That's why I never protested against him...
through his harsh beatings.
I hoped you would never find out.
I hoped you'd never find out until the day you died.
I hoped you'd live...
in oblivion just like your dad.
He didn't know?
No.
He must've known I wasn't his son.
No, Gi Yun. What do you mean?
He thought...
you were his blood.
But why did he never approve of me and hit me when I was his son?
How could he when I'm his son?
No. Don't think like that.
Your dad wanted to raise you as the best.
He wanted you to become great, even if he had to punish you.
That was his only reason.
No.
Had he thought I was his biological son,
he wouldn't have trusted Ju Kyung more...
and handed the chairman position to her.
No. You're wrong.
Your dad thought you were his biological son his whole life.
I'd like to ask Dad...
whether or not he knew I wasn't his biological son.
Then...
what was...
my biological dad like?
That man...
passed away long ago due to alcoholism.
He owned and managed a farm.
He treated me like a slave.
Unable to bear it, I had run away from him.
So my biological father...
was an alcoholic...
and inhumane person.
He gave you...
an excruciating memory.
Gi Yun.
Forget about whether you are your dad's biological son or not.
Live a peaceful life.
Forget about it all.
Don't let them get to you.
So you also trembled in fear...
Dad might throw you away your whole life.
To keep my past from him,
I acted more arrogantly and fought back.
That was why I was obsessed with you more.
It was to protect you.
Gi Yun.
I will continue to do anything...
for your sake.
Got it, Gi Yun?
- Mom. - Gi Yun.
Now that you left Gi Yun while holding Woo Hyuk's hand,
Gi Yun must be outraged.
He will want you more than ever.
We'll see about that.
Woo Hyuk's mother is coming to our house. Let's go.
It's Gi Yun.
Mine's Jaclyn.
Hee Jae. I felt very offended...
when you walked away with Woo Hyuk last night.
Was there any reason for you to be offended?
My feelings for you are true.
Do you know how upsetting and infuriating it is...
when your sincerity is ignored?
Woo Hyuk loves me.
He's also as sincere as you.
His sincerity has nothing to do with me.
What's important to me...
is how you feel, Hee Jae.
Even if I'm attracted to you...
Even if you tell me you're serious about me,
what can we do?
You have a family.
Do you want others to point fingers at me...
for being a mistress?
Your true feelings...
are more than enough for me.
Let's not take this any further.
Hee Jae.
I'm sorry.
Slow down, or you'll have an upset stomach.
Mother will no longer cook for me.
And Gi Yun's crazy about Hee Jae.
Jaclyn. Did you want to see me just because...
you didn't want to eat alone?
That's right. I hate eating alone.
Sleeping alone and being alone.
The word "alone" is hateful and annoying.
Rather than hateful and annoying,
isn't it frightening?
That word...
makes you think you got abandoned.
Your mom...
Don't you miss her?
Don't you miss your mom who gave birth to you?
I don't.
That woman...
didn't give birth to me.
She threw me away.
I don't miss her.
Not one bit.
Gosh, thank you so much for last time.
I couldn't properly express my gratitude.
- It's okay. - Oh, right.
Goodness. Right.
- I'll take it. - Here.
My gosh, thank you.
I wanted to thank you for taking me to the hospital last time,
but I couldn't until now.
Jun Hee bought this as a token of gratitude, Hee Jae.
Thank you.
But anyone would've done the same.
Are you feeling better?
Yes, all thanks to you.
Listen, Director Seo.
Does Woo Hyuk have potential as an actor?
Yes, he does. And he'll become big.
Thank you for allowing Woo Hyuk to become an actor.
I will do my very best so that he becomes a great actor.
My goodness. Thank you.
I will leave him to you, Director Seo.
It must make you happy, Woo Hyuk.
Since your mother and Director Seo are supporting you,
you will surely succeed.
- Have the tea. - Okay.
(Director Jaclyn Taylor)
You didn't have to drop me off at my office.
Don't you hate doing anything alone?
I'm off.
Jaclyn.
Call me whenever you want to eat together.
I will.
Jaclyn, you must escape this fiery pit called Jang Gi Yun.
That's the only way you'll live.
Here. Open up.
Soo A.
Are you waiting for someone?
I'm waiting for Ms. Angel, who looks like Mommy.
She must be waiting for Hee Jae.
Soo A. Should we call over Hee Jae?
Jaclyn is going on a business trip today...
for a regional arts forum, right?
Yes. She will return tomorrow.
If only I could go to Gi Yun's house on a day like today.
Weren't you able to stop by his house whenever you wanted?
I drew the line with Gi Yun.
I told him I couldn't handle a married man.
Jang Gi Yun will not give up on you like this.
He won't be able to do that.
Just wait.
Today's my chance since Jaclyn's on a business trip.
Yes, Ms. Hong?
Soo A misses me?
I know you're busy.
But Soo A has been asking for you non-stop.
Come over to our house after work, okay?
I miss you, too.
My goodness.
Some might mistake Hee Jae for her real daughter-in-law.
Okay. Then I'll go once work is over.
Great. See you later.
Soo A. Hee Jae is coming over.
Soo A. Since Hee Jae promised to come,
let's eat. Okay? Open up.
Good girl.
My gosh, look at her.
She looks all bright now that Hee Jae's dropping by.
Soo A. Do you like Hee Jae that much?
Thanks to Soo A,
you can go to Gi Yun's house as you wish.
Yes.
My heart breaks...
whenever I think of Soo A.
I'm her mom,
but I can't tell her I'm her mom.
I'm her mom,
but I must pretend that I'm not.
This is too painful.
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
Jun Hee. Hey, Jun Hee!
Why is she working at Gi Yun's building?
Wait, does she...
hold a grudge against me?
(Employee List)
The list of cleaning personnel you wanted.
I didn't find the one you were looking for, Jung Jun Hee.
Is that so?
She was wearing a cleaner's uniform for this building.
Do you have to find her?
Should I get someone?
No, you don't need to go that far.
I can't let Gi Yun find out...
the past that can hold me down.
Hee Jae, are you busy today?
You're treating me so casually now.
And where are the honorifics?
I don't want to use honorifics to the woman I love.
I only do this when we're alone anyway.
So you are free or not?
I'm going on a business trip out of town.
I'm leaving right away after another meeting. What's up?
Then meet me here before you leave.
Why? Is something going on?
I'll tell you then.
- I'm home. - You're back.
- Yes. - Hang in there if you're hungry.
Hee Jae called and said she'd be a little late.
She's coming home?
Yes. Soo A missed her so much,
- so I called and invited her. - Did you?
She told us to go ahead and eat because she might be late,
but we should wait and eat dinner with her.
Yes, that sounds much better.
Okay. Get a good rest.
What's this, Soo A?
Let's see.
(I love you.)
This must be Ms. Hee Jae and you.
I'm also happy that you like her so much.
What is this?
I was going to propose to you...
on the day of your accident.
I waited here for you on that day.
But you never came,
and I heard the news that you passed away.
I thought I'd never get to give you this ring.
Hee Jae.
Will you accept my love?
I love you.
Be careful on the road and have a good trip.
Go now.
I'll see you leave first.
I have to read over a document on my tablet before I leave.
You should go first.
Okay, then.
Woo Hyuk.
I'll deceive you and go to Jang Gi Yun's home.
I feel sorry for you,
and it's tough for me to deceive you.
I'm sorry.
Soo A.
You're here.
Welcome.
Yes? What's this?
(I love you.)
Thank you, Soo A.
Thank you for coming over to see Soo A.
I came because I wanted to see her too.
Would you like some wine?
Wine?
(Swipe up to unlock.)
(Jaclyn)
(Calling Jaclyn)
(Seo Hee Jae)
Seo Hee Jae?
(Seo Hee Jae)
Jaclyn will be home soon. Let's have wine next time.
She's out on a business trip.
She won't come back tonight.
Then why don't we spend the night talking about us?
Sounds great.
This is too open for us to talk privately,
so come to my bedroom.
Let's go to your bedroom.
(Jaclyn)
I'll get the wine.
Jaclyn, this is driving you crazy, isn't it?
It must drive you crazy...
to hear your husband having this conversation with me...
while you aren't home.
I felt the same way.
So you need to suffer just as I did.
Seo Hee Jae, Jang Gi Yun. You lunatics!
I won't let you two live.
I'll kill you!
You two must have lived a happy life...
after locking me up in prison.
Oh my. I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Let me wash up.
I got bored of waiting.
Let me get dressed first.
I like how you look now.
Jaclyn.
You're here.
Seo Hee Jae, aren't you ashamed of yourself?
How can you do something this crude with a married man?
Are you out of your mind?
Did your parents teach you to live such a shameless life?
How dare you talk about my parents?
Hee Jae. I'm sorry.
Babe?
How could you behave rudely to Hee Jae...
before listening to what happened?
How dare you behave rudely and slap Jaclyn?
Jaclyn.
How does it feel to be treated like I was?
Jang Gi Yun and Jaclyn.
You two will hurt and destroy each other like that.
