(Episode 34)
You asked me...
what our relationship was.
I wanted to see you to give you the answer.
I am in love with you.
I love you.
Jang Gi Yun.
You despised Shin Ju Kyung...
because she was an orphan and nowhere near your league.
But you're in love with Seo Hee Jae because she's rich...
and has a different face?
Yet you have no idea that Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung.
You're appalling, Jang Gi Yun.
I kept thinking about it...
and concluded that the feeling...
I had for you...
was love.
Thank you for your honesty.
I have a confession to make.
I lied to you.
I said...
I loved the dead Shin Ju Kyung, but I didn't.
I was forced to marry her by my father.
Why did you lie to me?
I guess I wanted to win your favor.
You said you were her friend, so I made up that lie on the spot.
And why did you come clean about your lie?
I no longer want to do...
anything less than be genuine when I'm with you.
I only want to share...
and give you my honesty.
Jang Gi Yun, are you with Seo Hee Jae again?
Is Gi Yun not back yet?
Mother, you need to stop Seo Hee Jae from coming here.
Gi Yun and my relationship continues to fall apart...
because she won't stop coming here.
So you need to do something and keep her away from here.
I can't do that.
Soo A finally began to smile and got better thanks to her.
You need to put up with Hee Jae coming home...
for Soo A's sake.
What?
Will you really be like this?
And you need to stop minding Soo A.
Gi Yun and I will drop her off...
and pick her up after school.
Nonsense.
I'm her mother.
How can the mother stop minding her daughter?
You already know how much work I put into her.
"Mother?"
You were hardly a mother to her.
Goodness.
Mother, you cannot hold me in such disdain.
Do you think I'll let you keep doing this to me?
I'm in love with you,
but I must stop here.
It's just as you said. I'm a married man.
If we take this any further,
we'll both fall into danger.
I'll get over...
my feelings for you.
All right.
I don't want to torture you either.
Let's stop here.
If...
there comes a day for me to confess my love to you again,
I want to reappear before you as Jang Gi Yun,
who isn't a married man.
Do you really think we'll see that day?
May I ask you for a favor?
I took Soo A to her doctor,
and the doctor said she got much better.
I'm glad.
Hee Jae.
I think Soo A is improving a lot thanks to you.
I know this is shameless of me,
but I want to ask you to continue to check in on her.
Please.
I'll do that.
I'm willing to help if there's something...
I can do for her.
Thank you.
I mean it.
Have you been with Seo Hee Jae until this hour?
Jaclyn, sit down.
I won't see Seo Hee Jae in private anymore.
Are you saying you'll get over her?
Yes.
It took everything I had to be the chairman of WJ.
I must turn the VK Media business into a success,
so I'll bet everything I have there.
You finally sound like you're in your right mind.
That's why...
I need your cooperation to make sure...
I am not tempted by her again.
What do I have to do to cooperate?
Do not be suspicious of me anymore, and give me your trust.
Deposit the money you promised to my company's account within a month.
Then we can continue to be together as we have thus far.
All right. I'll give you my trust.
But if you betray me,
your consequences will be brutal.
Jang Gi Yun confessed his love for me.
I found him so appalling.
Yet he has no idea you're actually Shin Ju Kyung.
What a fool he is.
Jaclyn went after him with her money,
but I went after his heart.
You know what?
It's more brutal...
to trample all over someone's heart than anything else in the world.
I'll make Jang Gi Yun fall for me beyond measure,
blinded to the fact that I'm Shin Ju Kyung,
then end him.
You've now taken his heart,
so it's time to take Jaclyn's money...
before Jang Gi Yun gets it.
I must take away Jaclyn's money...
before she finds my fake father.
Soo Ho.
Do you think Woo Hyuk will be shocked to find out...
I was the chairwoman of Jung Capital?
Or would he feel betrayed?
Of course, he'd feel betrayed.
You wanted him to grow up independently,
so you only gave him money for food and transportation.
Then you only paid his tuition for college,
so he barely managed to graduate by winning scholarships.
If I were your son, I'd be disappointed.
How will I break the news to him?
Eat up.
Soo A must feel awkward...
because you're acting like a different person.
Mother, Jaclyn is doing her best. You should give her a chance.
Gi Yun, I'd like to pick up Soo A...
after school. Is that okay?
Sure, please do that.
Who texted you? You have a smile on your face.
It's Hee Jae.
She wants to pick up Soo A after school.
Goodness, I'm so grateful for her.
She's so thoughtful even though she's such a busy woman.
I thought everything was over between you and her.
The doctor said Hee Jae is a great help for Soo A's treatment.
So please understand that Hee Jae will come by for a while.
What? Seo Hee Jae will continue to come here?
You said you'd be a good mother to Soo A.
Can't you put up with her to help Soo A get better?
This is unbelievable.
That little...
Where are her manners in front of me, her mother-in-law?
Gosh, is it someone's birthday today?
Just look at all the side dishes.
These are all of Bit Na's favorites.
What? Oh, are they?
Yes. You're totally right.
Goodness gracious.
I must miss Bit Na tons...
to have made a table full of Bit Na's favorite side dishes.
- Is that so? - Yes.
My heart is beating so fast.
Bit Na's name is enough to make my heart race now.
Let's eat, Mr. Hwang.
Okay. I'm almost done.
Wait. Aren't those Woo Hyuk's shoes?
- What? - Why are you shining his shoes?
Did you polish my shoes, Mr. Hwang?
Yes. You see, it felt like I was inattentive to you until now.
So this was the least I could do.
You've done more than enough for me.
You don't need to polish my shoes.
Gosh, don't let it bother you.
All done.
I'm going to go wash my hands. You can dig in first.
Gosh.
What's going on?
He's been excessively friendly to Woo Hyuk these days.
You're right. What has gotten into him all of a sudden?
Jang Gi Yun. He said he ended it with Seo Hee Jae.
And yet, he left Soo A in her care?
Seo Hee Jae. Did she clearly break it off with Gi Yun?
Yes, she did.
Did you want me to come to confirm that?
Something felt off.
They broke it off, but she's using Soo A...
to drop by my house. It's annoying.
Gi Yun was the one who asked.
Asked for her help as Soo A was getting better.
Don't you love Jang Gi Yun? So why can't you trust him?
His actions don't make me trust him.
That reminds me, did you find Hee Jae's father?
I left a private detective to look for him.
It may be costly,
but finding someone is easy these days.
I'll meet Seo Hee Jae's father soon.
Is that so?
It'll be the end of her...
once he comes to Korea.
Dig in. I'll make another batch for you.
Mom. This one's quite salty.
They say women can't season food as they get older.
You must have gotten old, Mom.
Mom. You've got so many wrinkles around your eyes.
Look after your skin.
Women should take care of themselves, even as they age.
You never know when men will cheat on their wives.
If you don't take care of yourself, Dad might cheat on you. You know?
Yang Bit Na.
Think before you talk, okay?
How can you say that your dad might cheat on me...
in my face?
Gosh. You always leave out the important part.
It's when you don't take care of yourself.
Guess what, Mom? I have a new crush.
That guy's cool, handsome,
nice,
- manly, - "Manly..."
- and has an irresistible charm. - "and has an irresistible charm."
How did you know, Mom?
It's what you always say.
- You fell for him first, right? - Yes.
And he hates you, right?
What? You got it all correct, but how?
If I were a guy, I would hate you, too.
Right.
Making the man who hates me love me.
I will give it a shot.
Good grief. Bit Na.
There are so many good things you can try.
But to give that a shot?
For goodness' sake.
Gosh, girl. Stop drinking.
You'll drink yourself ill.
My goodness. I've had enough today. I'm leaving. Seriously.
Like I'd get ill when I'm drinking with a nice meal.
Oh, right. The next time you come, Mom,
make me pork cutlets and seasoned raw crabs.
They sound so good.
Whatever. Goodness.
- Mom. - Good grief.
Mom!
Seasoned raw crabs, okay?
Nice.
Woo Hyuk.
Can't we keep it from everyone that...
we have feelings for each other?
How come?
We should be careful...
to make Jang Gi Yun believe I'm Seo Hee Jae, not Shin Ju Kyung.
If Gi Yun starts suspecting us because we're dating,
we'll both fall into danger.
All right.
I want us to quickly find proof that Jang Gi Yun killed Shin Ju Kyung...
and make him pay for it.
I hope that day comes soon.
Let's go.
- Go where? - Aren't you going to meet Soo A?
Seo Jun!
Mom! Dad!
- Mom! - Seo Jun.
- Mom! - Oh, Soo A!
- Mom! - Mom!
- Mom. - Mom.
Did you have fun at school?
Take this! And this!
That one.
- Gosh. - Nice.
Good. Is it fun?
Oh, no. Soo A.
Up you go. Are you okay?
Be careful.
Woo Hyuk. Soo A smiles when she sees you.
Thank you for giving Soo A love...
she has never received...
from her dad.
Hey.
Jun Hee. What's wrong?
Oh, it's nothing. It's just my stomach.
(Jung Capital)
Wait. Is it another stomachache?
Jun Hee?
Goodness.
My gosh.
Jun Hee. You look really pale.
I better get some rest at home.
Goodness.
Are you okay?
Yes. A little rest should do.
You can go back to work.
What kind of gastritis doesn't get better with medicine?
This medicine is taken by patients with terminal gastric cancer.
Excuse me? "Terminal gastric cancer?"
(Bit Pharmacy)
No way.
Why must Jun Hee suffer from such a nasty illness?
My poor sister.
(Hyosung Pharmaceuticals)
There is no Suzuki Yamato who became wealthy...
from a landscaping business.
There is no one like that? What do you mean?
This man you're looking for is named Ito Yoshihiro.
Fluent in Korean,
he's an unknown reenactor in Japan.
"Reenactor?"
The news articles about the affluent Suzuki Yamato in Japan were fake.
They were fake articles written by a bogus online newspaper company.
Explain everything so that I can understand.
I found this man, Ito Yoshihiro.
He was paid to act as a fake father in Korea.
"Fake?"
Does that mean this man...
played a part as Seo Hee Jae's father?
That's right. Suzuki Yamato.
Everything, including his fortune,
was a fake scenario made up by Seo Hee Jae.
"Fake?"
Seo Hee Jae, that sly fox.
How shall I proceed from now on?
Bring Suzuki Yamato,
no, Ito Yoshihiro to Korea.
Bring me Seo Hee Jae's fake father.
Once you do, I'll double the amount I promised.
All right.
(Director Jaclyn Taylor)
Seo Hee Jae, you're so over.
What a fun day.
Soo A, let's have fun again next time.
I don't want to say goodbye to you either.
Mister, let's meet again.
Pinky promise.
I'll always keep my promises to you, Soo A.
You should drop her off. I'll wait.
You should go.
I'm going to put her to bed too.
Okay, then.
Here's your bag, Soo A.
Goodbye.
Let's go.
Soo A, did you have fun with Ms. Hee Jae?
Thank you for playing with her all day.
Don't mention it. I had fun too.
Soo A, it's time to wash up.
I'll do it.
No, I'm her mother.
- Let's go, Soo A. - Jaclyn.
Child abuse doesn't only consist of physical and verbal abuse.
Your inability to consider what she wants,
screaming at her, and handling her aggressively...
are also considered child abuse.
Seo Hee Jae, do you think you're Soo A's mother?
Who do you think you are to patronize me?
If you have something to learn, do learn.
If you have something to correct, do that...
to become a good mother.
Everything she says is correct.
Take it to your heart.
Mother, are you taking this woman's side in front of me?
Goodness, you just heard her, yet you still chose to scream.
Let's go, Soo A.
I'll be back, Soo A.
How dare you try to kick me out of this house...
by taking advantage of Soo A?
Are you scared?
Then be good to Soo A.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Seo Hee Jae, I find you and your attitude disgusting!
What? Why do you look at me like that?
Jang Gi Yun.
I look forward to seeing your face...
on the day Seo Hee Jae's fake father shows up...
to expose her true identity.
I'm home.
Young Ran.
Is she not home?
She's been out often lately.
Something's suspicious.
You're hung over, aren't you?
I told you not to drink so much!
Look, I'm feverish.
I'm not hungover. I came down with a cold and the flu.
If I were hung over, it'd just prove my youthfulness.
You still have so many smart things to say,
no matter how sick you are.
Mom, go home.
If you're going to nag at me, just go home.
I can't leave you sick like this.
I'll go home a little later.
- Hey, honey. - Where are you?
I'm at a friend's place.
I'll be home soon. Bye.
I can't stay anymore. I have to go.
Bit Na, I'll be back tomorrow.
I'm fine, so go.
If you don't feel well, call 911 and go to the hospital.
Okay?
Honey!
Goodness, I can whip up dinner in a second. Why didn't you wait?
Look at the time.
What on earth have you been up to recently...
that you forgot to make dinner for your husband to stay out?
Goodness, I'm sorry.
I haven't met the girls for a while, so we had a lot to catch up on.
Are you having an affair?
What? An affair?
How indecent.
My gosh. What do you take me for?
I can't believe it.
She seems suspicious.
Something is going on.
She's been quite suspicious lately.
Mr. Sandbag.
I can spill the beans with you, right?
It's rather tormenting to live...
with a secret.
People will be shocked if they find out...
Woo Hyuk was the son of Jung Capital's chairwoman.
I still find it hard to believe...
Woo Hyuk is from an affluent family...
with a huge fortune.
But Woo Hyuk would be the one who'd be most shocked.
He thought his mother was a cleaning lady,
but she was actually the chairwoman of a moneylending business.
He'd be shocked beyond imagination.
Hey, Woo Hyuk.
Where's Mom?
Her gastritis kicked in again, so she took medicine and went to sleep.
Man, is she in a lot of pain?
Don't wake her.
She just fell asleep.
Uncle Soo Ho, is something going on?
Have you been crying?
Crying?
I'm not a kid. I'm too old to cry.
Is something going on?
I've never seen you like this.
Woo Hyuk, in this world, I pity your mother the most.
All she ever did was toil and moil for money...
to bring you up alone without your father.
You were her entire world. Oh, how I pity her.
She went through a lot to bring me up.
That's why I want to be a success and a proud son to her.
If there was anything she couldn't share with you,
she must have had a reason.
So don't take her the wrong way.
Like what? The fact that she is the chairwoman of Jung Capital?
How did you know?
That's not important.
What I want to know is why she kept it a secret.
You'll have to hear it from her.
She was planning on sharing it with you soon.
I realized why you quit your job as a detective.
It was to help her once she started this moneylending business.
Yes, I couldn't let her do it alone when she told me...
she was starting this business.
You have to be really good to her.
Okay. I'll be good to her.
(Mom)
(Woo Hyuk)
Woo Hyuk?
Hey, Hyunta.
What's with your voice?
- Are you sick? - Woo Hyuk.
Can you take me to a hospital?
Okay, sure. I'll be there soon.
Uncle Soo Ho, my friend is sick. I'll come back later.
Goodness.
The one who's really sick is your mother.
I'm too worried about her to go to sleep.
My gosh.
Where is that lady going at this hour?
Hyunta. Are you okay?
What?
Here.
Get on my back.
Grab me my jacket.
- Who lives here? - Honey.
Why did you come here behind my back?
Well, you see...
It's Bit Na's place.
"Bit Na?"
Bit Na is here and not in the US?
I can't believe this!
Open the door. Do it at once.
A war will break out for sure.
Open the door.
Ms. Woo?
- Woo Hyuk. - Dad?
"Dad?"
You jerk.
- Why are you together with Bit Na? - Honey.
You knew she was my daughter...
and approached her on purpose, right?
Are you, of all the guys,
thinking of dating an assemblyman's daughter?
I had no idea Hyunta was your daughter. What's more,
an assemblyman's daughter is no big deal.
I told you, didn't I?
- That all people were equal. - You scumbag!
- Honey! - Let go!
Dad!
(The Elegant Empire)
You met Yang Hee Chan? But how?
What's with those faces?
Is it that unusual that I went to an assemblyman's house?
Woo Hyuk must never know.
I gifted a bracelet planted with a bug to Mother.
Planting a bug is illegal.
But to know what was going on in Gi Yun's house, I had no choice.
I need to figure out...
Jang Gi Yun's secret that no one should know.
