(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(All child actors were shot under supervision.)
I asked if Yang Hee Chan was my father.
Woo Hyuk.
Yes.
That man...
is your father.
That's ridiculous.
How can that jerk be my father?
Why is it him, of all people?
Woo Hyuk. I apologize for his harsh treatment...
toward you...
you are his son.
He failed to recognize you.
But please do forgive him for his terrible behavior. Please.
I beg you.
No.
That man is not my father.
There's no way he is my father.
Woo Hyuk.
Gosh, Woo Hyuk.
No.
That man is not my father.
There's no way he is my father.
What a tragedy.
The adults are at fault.
But the innocent children are suffering.
Poor Woo Hyuk.
Despised by his own father all along,
he must be furious and dumbfounded.
Woo Hyuk.
You're shocked, aren't you?
(Jung Capital)
Tell me.
Your history with that jerk Yang Hee Chan.
That man told me he had a fiancée.
So we broke up.
When I realized I was pregnant later on, I visited him.
But he told me to get an abortion.
He had already gotten married...
and did not want our baby.
That man dragged me to the OB-GYN...
to get rid of the baby.
But behind his back, I gave birth to you...
and lived in hiding.
That man thought I went through with the abortion until now.
In fear he might find you,
I made sure to hide well.
That was why you were against me becoming an actor.
Yang Hee Chan gradually became a prominent politician,
which frightened me more.
I was scared he might find out about you, his love child,
and try to harm you.
After all, Yang Hee Chan is more than capable of doing so.
Was he the one who ruined your hand?
Yes.
That evil scumbag.
How can someone like him be my father?
I prayed we would never meet again for the rest of my life.
Even when I became wealthy, I disguised myself as a cleaner.
But in the end,
we came across each other.
I wanted to keep the secret of your birth from you forever.
But you found out about it.
I can forgive him for not accepting me as his son.
But I can't forgive him for putting you in misery.
Woo Hyuk. Don't hate him.
Even though I despised him down to my core,
I hoped you would never learn about him...
and hate him.
That man...
He is still your father.
A man like him is not my father.
I will hate him.
I will loathe and curse him more than ever.
Woo Hyuk. Whether you want it or not,
he is your father.
Both parents and children...
cannot choose their fates.
It is decided by the deity.
So parents and children should not despise each other,
no matter what. Okay?
No.
I will punish that man.
I will detest the man who ruined your life,
made you live like a criminal,
and didn't accept me as his son...
until my last breath.
Yang Hee Chan...
I will bring him down myself.
I will make him go down on his knees before you...
and beg...
for your forgiveness for all his sins.
Don't do that, Woo Hyuk.
You'll regret it later.
You shouldn't harm the man...
who is your father.
He may have abandoned you, but he is still your father.
So don't even think about fighting against him...
or getting revenge. Okay?
Why are you such a fool, Mom?
Why are you so kind-hearted?
Why won't you let me...
hate the man who did those wicked things to you?
You're a fool to the point it's pathetic, Mom.
I'm not pathetic.
I have you, don't I?
Having you makes me...
happy.
I'm happy, okay?
Yang Hee Chan is my father?
It can't be true.
Yes?
Gi Yun.
It's around here.
What is that?
You seem tired these days,
so I made some ginseng juice.
I see.
Oh, no.
Leave it.
But it might stink.
It's all right. I'll clean it up later.
You should go.
- Okay. - Okay.
He definitely has something there.
("Opposition for the Casino Becomes Fiercer and Fiercer")
("Building a Casino Is a Betrayal to the People")
Woo Hyuk. The opposition against the casino bill blew up.
Gi Yun will suffer greatly.
I asked if Yang Hee Chan was my father.
Woo Hyuk. Yes.
That man...
is your father.
Woo Hyuk, is something bothering you?
No, it's nothing.
You've done good work.
The petition to invalidate the casino bill is on fire.
People will begin to protest all around the country.
It won't be easy...
for Gi Yun to get investments with this public sentiment.
It was because he disregarded the public.
Jang Gi Yun and Yang Hee Chan.
I hope those two get ruined soon.
Woo Hyuk.
Whether you want it or not,
he is your father.
Both parents and children...
cannot choose their fates.
It is decided by the deity.
So parents and children should not despise each other,
no matter what. Okay?
You shouldn't harm the man...
who is your father.
He may have abandoned you, but he is still your father.
So don't even think about fighting against him...
or getting revenge. Okay?
Don't smile like that.
I didn't come because I missed you.
Why are you always looking out the window?
I'm waiting for Eun Ha.
We'll go to America together...
and meet Min Ha.
Eun Ha will come from that way.
I've been feeling down ever since I got pregnant.
My morning sickness is the worst too.
And I get annoyed seeing women who come to the OB-GYN clinic...
with their moms.
I get angry, wondering why I don't have a mom...
who does that for me.
I don't have a mom who'll come and help me raise the baby.
My mother-in-law...
bought me delicious food...
and gave me her credit card to buy things I'd need...
once I gave birth to the baby.
That was why I trusted her.
But she said she'd take the baby once I gave birth.
What kind of a mother-in-law is that?
She called me a low life.
Don't moms usually step in and fight against mothers-in-law...
when they're harsh on their daughters?
Don't moms usually step in...
and get mad at sons-in-law who have an affair?
But I have nobody.
Don't cry.
You'll meet your mom.
I did.
I met you.
So, why can't you remember anything...
or get mad at my mother-in-law and Gi Yun?
Your daughter is in trouble, and you're my mom.
Why can't you do anything?
Ms. Im, I brought your meal.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
You're her daughter, right?
Yes, and?
When Ms. Im came back to herself,
she asked me to give you something.
Take this.
What is it?
It's a onesie.
"A onesie?"
It's the first piece of clothing for newborn babies.
Why did she tell you to give it to her daughter?
Ms. Im said...
it belonged to her twin daughters when they were babies.
What?
She kept...
the baby clothes my sister...
and I used to wear?
Before she came down with dementia,
she used to cry every day with this onesie in her arms.
She missed you that much.
My mom...
missed me?
Yes.
She said her eldest daughter passed away...
and that she had to meet her second daughter before she died.
She always said she missed you...
and cried with this onesie in her arms.
Mom.
You missed me.
You never forgot about me.
You waited for me and missed me.
Mom.
Thank you, Mom.
Hello, Mr. Hwang.
Mr. Jung, can you give us some privacy?
Yes, of course.
(Jung Capital)
Jun Hee.
Let me cut to the chase.
Our breakup is ineffective.
I have ended...
my friendship with Hee Chan.
It's a shame, and I feel sorry...
that it was my friend...
who did such atrocious things to you.
I can't break up with you.
I'll love you with everything I have...
until your last day in this world.
Goodness.
I love you.
(Ms. Woo Young Ran)
Woo Hyuk, it must be shocking and troubling.
It's not just me.
You feel that way too.
You found out your husband had another child.
I lived much longer than you did,
so I've been through this and that.
I'm better off than you are.
Woo Hyuk, you must dread Hee Chan.
He had no idea you were his son,
hated you for no reason,
and even beat you.
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! Stop!
- Dad! - Don't do it!
I never hit on your daughter.
And I'm in love with another woman.
What was that? You little...
Woo Hyuk!
Do you think I'll fall for such a lie?
I'm sorry.
Let me apologize on his behalf.
Don't apologize, Ms. Woo.
You did nothing wrong.
That's not true.
I lived my life not knowing what my husband had done...
in the past.
I should've known as his wife.
And I should've stopped something like this from happening.
Had I done that, you wouldn't be...
suffering this much.
Woo Hyuk.
Please forgive...
my husband for me.
And...
keep it from Bit Na.
All right. I'll do that.
Bit Na...
likes you, not knowing you're her half-brother.
But I'll make her sort out those feelings.
Okay.
Thanks.
Woo Hyuk. Dig in.
Even if you're in pain and tired,
you should eat so as not to get sick. Okay?
You should eat, too. And make sure not to get sick.
Despite the passing of the casino bill,
the petition against it has stopped the investment.
And we're losing the public opinion.
This sure is a bolt out of the blue.
If a large-scale protest starts,
it will become out of control.
Both the petition and protest will be temporary.
So much effort has been put into passing the casino bill.
We won't let that go to waste.
Our success is just around the corner.
Do not overreact over such a small matter.
Have some of this, Soo A.
Jang Soo A.
Did you forget your table manners?
Gi Yun. Soo A is still a kid.
Her table manners can't be perfect.
Spilling food on my dining table shows a lack of class.
I won't allow it.
Soo A. Starve.
You're going too far, Gi Yun.
Soo A. Reflect in your room.
Go.
Even if you had a bad day,
you shouldn't take it out on Soo A.
How can Hee Jae raise her voice at you...
in front of Soo A?
- Is Soo A asleep? - Yes.
Soo A is sleeping.
I'm not going to scold her.
I want to see her sleep.
Wait.
Stay here.
Soo A.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I always get angry at you.
It was scary and tough whenever your grandfather...
scolded me.
It's just that Daddy...
doesn't know how to love others.
Daddy.
Ever since Mommy passed away,
the one I love the most is you, Daddy.
But...
Even though I love you the most in the world,
you're also the scariest person.
Mother's not on my side, either.
I need to find a way to survive.
What are you doing here?
Mother.
Why are you keeping this room locked?
That room...
There must be something in that room.
The lock number is 1267.
Thank you.
Father?
Father is alive.
But how did this happen? We even held his funeral.
Is this it, Gi Yun?
Is this the weakness I can use against you?
To falsely charge Shin Ju Kyung with murder,
you held a funeral for your living father,
fooled people,
and locked him up here?
I knew it. The deity was on my side.
Why is Jaclyn running so late?
Jaclyn. When will you get here?
- Where are you? - Mother.
I totally forgot that today was my regular checkup...
at the OB-GYN.
So I can't make it today, Mother.
To think that Father was alive.
This is my golden opportunity.
Hey, Jaclyn!
Look at her hang up after she's done.
Jaclyn is as rude as always.
Yes?
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Ms. Kim is escorting Jung Woo Hyuk's mother?
Yes. The rumor that Party Leader Yang is in contact...
with Woo Hyuk's mother turns out to be true.
Why is he suddenly meeting Woo Hyuk's mother?
Should I ruin his acting career...
by framing him for illegal drug use?
Or should I put him in worse misery?
Let's keep our eyes on him a little longer.
Sorry?
I thought you'd tell me to nip the bud right away.
It's not like Party Leader Yang...
to let Jung Woo Hyuk be. It's suspicious.
Something is sure fishy.
Come on. You should eat more.
Hee Jae.
Gi Yun said...
he killed Ju Kyung.
He did?
He said that...
to you?
Poor Ju Kyung.
It also meant I killed her.
She wouldn't have died...
if I didn't make her marry Gi Yun.
I thought...
I needed to keep her by his side.
I married them out of my ambition...
and cornered Ju Kyung into death.
I was a sinner...
who turned my son into a murderer.
Father.
How will I ever apologize to Ju Kyung?
Ju Kyung,
I'm sorry.
Father.
It's me, Ju Kyung.
What?
What did you just say?
I'm Ju Kyung.
So...
please don't be tormented over my death.
Ju Kyung...
You're Ju Kyung?
Yes, Father.
Ju Kyung.
Father.
Ju Kyung. Goodness.
You were alive.
You were still alive!
Ju Kyung...
Thank you.
Thank you for staying alive.
Goodness. Thank you.
Father...
(Jung Capital)
Woo Hyuk, why aren't you going home?
I have to meet someone.
You two should go.
Don't be too late.
Okay.
It's me, Jung Woo Hyuk.
I'd like to meet you now.
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
I heard an absurd rumor that you were my father.
As you already know, I grew up without a father,
and I did not plan on finding him in the future.
I don't have a son either.
That means we both agree that this is an absurd rumor.
And now, I'd like to start blackmailing you.
Blackmailing me? Let me hear it.
Put an end to the casino business...
you're holding with Jang Gi Yun.
Did you really think I'd accept that?
If you don't,
I'll end your political career.
You don't have enough power.
I'll expose that the rumors are actually true.
I plan...
to tell the world that I am...
your love child.
What do you think?
It's not so bad for blackmailing, right?
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
Hey, Gi Yun.
It's been a long time, Gi Yun.
(The Elegant Empire)
Gi Yun, we're in trouble.
Someone sent me a video of your father.
Who could have found out and taken that video?
Perhaps it was Hee Jae.
You left a hearing aid with Soo A?
You might be able to stop Gi Yun's wicked deeds...
once you find it.
Hee Jae, I dearly hoped you weren't the one...
who took and sent that video.
