Ji Hwan.
(Episode 31)
Was something wrong?
Your phone was turned off.
What happened?
You look dreadful.
I thought my heart would explode when you called.
- Ji Hwan. - Your offer.
Is it still on the table?
You asked me to side with you.
- Ji Hwan. - That offer.
I'm thinking of taking it.
I made the decision for myself and no one else.
- Because I need it. - Okay.
Don't expect me to feel anything for you.
I don't expect that. I wouldn't even ask for it.
I just want to be with you. That's good enough for me.
- If you have regrets... - I won't.
If you want to stop,
then tell me.
I'll back off whenever you want.
That won't happen.
I'll make you happy and Sol and I will get along fine.
I'm so happy right now.
The happiest in my life.
I have to go. I'll call you later.
Let's get out.
Tae Hee.
I'm glad we met.
Ji Hwan.
What happened? I couldn't reach you.
I was so worried.
Ji Hwan.
Let's go inside.
Come on, Ji Hwan.
Ji Hwan.
Ji Hwan!
Let's go.
What do you mean?
Where are you going?
He's here to greet my family.
- What? - To get their permission.
Ji Hwan.
What is she saying?
It's just as you heard.
- Ji Hwan. - Go home.
How could I do that after hearing this?
Could you if you were me?
Why not?
Go home.
No. This isn't right.
Don't do this, Ji Hwan.
Quit whining and leave.
I'm not the Woo Ji Hwan you knew.
Ji Hwan.
I left you to pave a new life.
I thought I'd go crazy. I thought I'd die,
but now I can finally breathe.
- What? - Don't visit me again.
No, I won't. I can't do that.
What's going on out here?
This can't be a coincidence.
What are you up to now?
Ji Hwan, come with me. Let's talk about it.
I need to intrude.
I have something to tell your mother and grandfather.
What?
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Where do you think you're going?
What are you up to?
Ju Hong.
Are you okay?
Seriously...
Are you out of your minds? Marriage?
Mother.
How dare you barge in and talk such nonsense?
Don't yell at Ji Hwan.
Nothing you say will make us change our minds.
- Nam Tae Hee. - You.
Why are you so quiet?
Just last week, you couldn't stop yelling at me.
Where did all that go? Now you're a meek little lamb.
What are you up to?
We'd like your permission.
You're out of your mind.
I will marry Tae Hee.
Shut your mouth!
Come with me.
Don't get too worked up.
We thought about it long and hard.
Since when were you and Tae Hee a unit?
Does she seem that easy to you?
Is that what you think of us?
This is none of your business.
Do you even know what Ji Hwan is really up to?
Would she do this if she knew?
She's letting herself be used...
by a fool who doesn't care for her.
Lower your voices.
- Father. - Grandfather.
We just have to say no and that's that.
He can think for himself.
He won't have assumed he would get his way.
Send him away.
I don't care if you don't approve.
I'm only here to be cordial.
Woo Ji Hwan!
I left you to pave a new life.
I thought I'd go crazy. I thought I'd die,
but now I can finally breathe.
- Ji Hwan. - I have nothing to say. Leave.
I know you're going through a lot.
Actually, no. How could I know how you feel?
I don't know how you feel, but I do know why you're doing this.
So Ji Hwan...
You understand?
You know why I'm doing this?
Stop talking nonsense and go home.
I don't care what you say.
But there must be a way without doing this.
You're a lawyer.
Without going this far to ruin them...
My gosh. You speak of it so easily.
Do you think this is about revenge?
Have you lost a family member?
I lost my sister and then my mother.
I can't lose Sol too.
I'll marry Tae Hee and get Sol treated.
I'll do whatever it takes.
Are you saying this is about Sol?
Do you expect me to believe that?
I don't care if you do or not.
- What is wrong with you? - Leave.
Ji Hwan.
Don't come back again.
- You'll end up giving in. - What?
Quit trying to send me to the US.
I tore up my passport.
Are you on something?
Do you know what the man you're crazy about is like?
He's using you to...
You're right. He's using me.
I told him to use me all he wants.
You did what?
I'll donate my liver and become Sol's mom.
You'll save Ji Hwan's daughter...
and live as her mom?
She's your brother's daughter.
I'd like you to give in this time.
Then move out.
Your grandfather's land, house, company,
not even an item of clothing in this room will remain yours.
No. I won't give up my rights.
I'll persuade Grandfather and get his blessing.
Too bad, then.
I'll take care of Ji Hwan as you watch.
- Mother. - You can't beat me.
Remember that, you fool.
What a leech.
I wondered why he was quiet and he did this instead.
What will he do once he marries Tae Hee?
Father.
Quiet.
He's asleep.
What?
He told me not to let anyone in.
Get out of my way.
He said he doesn't want to be disturbed...
or he can't sleep all night.
He made sure I understood.
Does he think him not being able to sleep is an issue?
Exactly. There's a huge mess...
and he should sort it out before going to bed.
Why on earth is he like this?
I have no idea.
What? Do you want me to go home?
The seolleongtang lawyer's right under your nose...
and you're worried that I'm still here and not at home?
You're driving me insane.
Mom.
Mom!
Mom, I'm sorry.
Mom!
You suffered so much.
The people who made Mom suffer,
I will torture them many times more.
And then...
I will pay for what I did.
Ji Hwan, did you get home safely?
Grandfather didn't say much and our family's getting over it.
You can relax.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Dad.
- Hi, Sol. - When did you come home?
Oh, me?
Just now.
I made you wait, didn't I?
How about Grandma? Is she still at the hospital?
What?
Oh, well...
You said you always feel better when I hug you.
I did say that.
Did you give Grandma a hug?
So she can feel better?
I couldn't...
do that.
Why not?
I'm such a useless son.
I never got to give her a hug...
and now...
she must be so lonely.
She went to work already?
Yes. She didn't say she starts this early.
She spent most of the night in the bathroom.
- Is she sick? - She did?
Goodness.
She's healthy enough to digest bones.
How did she get sick?
The person you have reached...
She's not answering?
No.
She's an ER doctor. She'll take a pill or something.
What did she eat that got her sick?
Should I make her some porridge?
There's no word about a body, is there?
No.
I just checked with the maritime police.
Then we can assume she's gone forever.
Keep an eye on Ji Hwan, though.
Tell me if he acts suspiciously.
Yes, sir.
Gosh, you got this haggard overnight?
Why let it get to you?
Now you know what he's like.
Kick him to the curb.
And if you know what a catch I am,
that works for me.
You have to help Sol.
- What? - That will solve everything.
End what you started.
What are you talking about?
If you don't do anything,
I'll expose you for what you really are.
Baek Ju Hong.
I'll do anything to protect Ji Hwan.
I won't let him ruin himself.
You'll expose me?
You, Ju Hong?
- Make up your mind. - No.
You can't do that, not least because of Sol.
I don't have to tell you how much this will hurt the kid.
Nine years ago, what you did to Ji Hwan's mother.
I know about it.
If you want it to get out of hand, I won't stop you.
What about nine years ago?
I don't know what you heard, but Ji Hwan's delusional,
he thinks he's the victim, and he has a complex.
He's beyond help.
Can't you tell from what he's doing?
You fell for his nonsense.
Tae Hee's getting ready for work as if nothing happened.
We must take her phone and ground her.
No one knows how far she'll go if we just let her.
Don't just ignore this...
and do something about it, Father.
I should go to the hospital.
What? The hospital? What for?
Tae Hee.
Take me to the hospital.
I'm on my way to work.
Do you not feel well?
I'll take you to the hospital, Father, if you ground Tae Hee...
No, you stay at home.
- Father. - I'll get my jacket.
You wait for me here.
Stay at home once he's back from the hospital.
- Mother. - Just do as you're told.
I'm not letting you be because I don't know how to padlock doors.
I'm no longer the girl...
who took the SAT multiple times because you said so.
- Don't waste your energy. - How dare you...
Let's go.
Okay.
Father, Tae Hee...
You get ready for work.
That old man's never any help.
Ji Hwan turned our house upside-down.
He'll pay dearly for that.
I have a present for you too.
- A present? - To celebrate us getting together.
Open it.
What is it?
Oh, wow. It's a tie.
Try it on.
- Now? - Go on.
I want to see if it suits you.
Of course it'll suit me. I'm Woo Ji Hwan.
Here.
Good.
Now I'm your master.
Was this a leash?
- Yes. - What?
On very important days,
days you want to remember for a long time,
be sure to wear this tie.

(Woo Ji Hwan)
Hello, I'm Woo Ji Hwan, a lawyer.
I'm glad we met.
Have you still not heard from Ji Hwan?
- Well... - I mean,
he left to find his Mom long ago...
and we've heard nothing so far.
We asked Ju Hong but she won't say anything.
Is he still looking for her?
He's not in trouble too, is he?
What? Is he?
Did something happen to him?
Why won't you say anything?
I'm dying over here.
Well, the thing is...
Something huge did happen.
- Something huge? - What happened?
Who are these bodyguards?
Did you call them?
Give me your phone.
I must've left mine at home.
You can stay here as long as you want.
What do you mean?
Why would I stay here?
You're not a toddler.
Why are you so stubborn?
You staying here will give you...
a reason.
- Grandfather. - If you say you're sick,
others will understand your absence.
Is that why you brought me here? To lock me up?
Get out of my way.
They won't...
do as you say.
Is that true, Father?
I told you it's not worth making a fuss about.
How could I ever know how your wise mind works?
But you did the right thing. Thank you, Father.
Did Tae Hyung leave to campaign?
He went to the local market this morning,
but he should be back now.
Would you like to watch his campaign?
He'll be the first politician from the Nam family.
I should watch him get the job.
Yes, you should go and watch.
I will escort you myself.
Just a moment.
What times does the afternoon campaign start?
It starts at 2 p.m.
Okay. I understand.
- What was that about? - The chairman will join us later.
- My grandfather? - He's with Ms. Ham now,
but he'll join us when we leave.
(Nam Tae Hyung, National Harmony Party)
Hello, sir.
You said it's no big deal, so what's going on?
Pardon?
The friend who sued you.
What did you do...
to make him come and see me?
Ji Hwan came to see you?
I apologize. I'll come over right away.
Mr. Nam!
Here he is.
(Complaint)
Nine years ago,
he drove while drunk...
- and hit my mother. - Ji Hwan.
You'll have checked the other facts in my complaint.
Let me ask you just one thing.
What will you do?
Candidate Nam Tae Hyung.
Will you let him quietly and voluntarily step down,
or shall I take this to the press?
You have two options to choose from.
(The Secret House)
Why would he suddenly do that?
How badly will you be humiliated before losing the election?
Shut your mouth. Shut it.
Come to the office immediately.
My gosh.
We'll all become unhappy.
What's the problem?
Ji Hwan chose me, not you.
Will you join the company?
Yes, I will.
I'll join, find the evidence,
and bring down the whole family.
Is there anyone without a weakness?
