(Episode 76)
Your guest is here.
Thanks.
Min Young?
You're...
Min Young.
My name isn't Min Young.
Hello, Mr. Woo. I'm Annie Brown.
You're Annie Brown?
Aren't you here to see me?
You emailed me.
Mr. Woo Ji Hwan, WIDE's new employee.
Yes, that's right.
I believe you're married.
- What? - You can't stop staring at me.
I'm thinking this isn't appropriate behavior for a married man.
Well... No, the thing is...
You look so much like someone I know.
That must be Min Young.
Do you know her?
That's what you just called me.
Oh... Right.
She must look very much like me.
I'd like to meet her.
Does she live in Korea?
No. She doesn't. My sister...
My sister...
went far away.
Did she?
What a pity.
If her own brother got us confused,
it would be interesting to see how similar we look.
I didn't know you were Korean.
I'm not Korean.
I'm Korean-American.
My dad was born and raised in America.
Oh, I see.
Will that do as an introduction?
I'm hungry.
You can order first.
What should I have?
Can two people look so alike?
If it were once, I'd say I was mistaken, but twice?
She can't be Min Young.
Here you go.
The list of directors you asked for.
Okay. Good job.
I also printed out a list of major shareholders, just in case.
Okay, I'll take a look.
The thing is... Sir.
This Annie Brown lady.
What?
She seems to own quite a lot of WIDE's shares.
A Market's Annie Brown?
Yes.
What...
So,
although Americans are known to wear shoes indoors,
I recently heard that more parents are putting mats on the floors...
of their living rooms and children's rooms, so...
I'm...
not here to talk about that.
Pardon?
You'd say all the right things.
Of course you'll say your product is spectacular.
I don't believe in a product I haven't used and liked myself.
Then...
may I ask why you asked to see me?
I wanted to know about you.
I wanted to see for myself...
who I'd get to work with.
Didn't you already look me up?
You knew I was married.
Isn't it only natural to look up...
whoever you'll do business with?
Even if I didn't look you up myself,
you made a huge show of getting married.
It was hard not to know about it.
Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you.
Let's call it a day.
When will you...
visit our company?
I'm not sure.
I'll have my secretary contact you with my schedule.
- What? - Pardon?
Are you worried about what to tell your superior?
Say you think you made a positive impression.
It's the truth.
I left out the people there's no point in talking to,
and I marked down the people we might have a chance with.
We must start meeting them today.
Most of the founding members are Grandpa's allies, right?
That is likely,
but if their kids or grandkids inherited the shares,
they might think differently.
I think you should meet those shareholders.
- Okay. - You must be careful.
It'll all go wrong the moment your grandfather catches wind.
Don't you worry.
Oh. Do you know about a woman called Annie Brown?
What about her?
She is A Market's head merchandiser for Asia.
So what?
- There's a word for a business deal. - A deal?
Ji Hwan had been running around trying to get them to sell our mats.
He made contact with that woman who happened to be in Korea,
but I doubt he'll get anywhere.
Why did you send Ji Hwan to meet her?
If things work out, it could be your chance to shine.
I will take credit when it counts, so don't worry about that.
Don't lose out to Ji Hwan.
Do whatever it takes to make the deal yours.
I'll back you all the way.
- Hello. - Are you done for the day?
Yes.
Why do you look so stressed out?
Is something wrong?
Yes.
She looks exactly like Min Young?
How could that be possible?
I even had dinner with her just now,
but I still can't believe it.
Did she look that much like her?
Yes.
Why didn't you ask if she knew Min Young?
I did, of course. She said she didn't know her.
So I even called the owner of the cloth store.
You think this needs some looking into.
Yes.
I'd like to find out if Min Young and Annie are connected.
Can it be done?
I'll have to try.
Are you and Ju Hong working together?
She asked me to find someone as well.
She did?
Yes.
It's someone Tae Hee's looking for.
He's in Cheongju Penitentiary and will be released next week.
His name is Lee Dong Cheol, I believe.
How are things going?
I arranged a meeting with three major shareholders.
I'll text you the time and location.
Okay, good job.
As if kicking me out of the house wasn't enough, he wants to fire me too?
The poor old man thinks I'm a pushover.
Watch and see how I use this opportunity.
I'll take the chance to swap out...
all your allies for mine.
Hello, I'm ready for work.
Why does the air in the house feel so frigid?
You must've been heartbroken.
Still, I'm grateful that...
you decided to tell me the truth.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you when I found out.
It hasn't been that long and I was reeling with shock.
Is that why you cried so sadly back then?
Mr. Baek.
Are you hurt? Did you get glass stuck in your finger?
Grandpa.
Grandpa...
Did something happen?
Yes. That was the day I'd found out,
and seeing your face...
I just crumbled.
He believes me.
He doesn't think at all that I broke the news...
because I knew he'd run a DNA test.
Don't you think...
it's now time to make up your mind?
I...
already have.
I'm waiting for Ji Hwan's answer.
- Tae Hee. - I won't change my mind.
You can ask me a hundred times, and my answer will be the same.
If you won't give in,
I can't announce Ji Hwan's my grandson.
I feel like I was orphaned overnight.
I practically got Mom kicked out.
I now have nothing to do with either you or Dad.
If you tell me to break up with Ji Hwan too,
how am I to go on?
Since the day you were born,
you have always been my granddaughter.
That will remain the same even after I die.
- But... - That's why you must get divorced.
- Grandpa. - Ji Hwan is my grandson.
How could you two stay married?
If word of that got out...
The whole world will talk about you and tear you apart.
I feel sorry for you the most.
I don't want you to have to suffer like that.
So, Tae Hee,
remain as my granddaughter.
I can't do that, Grandpa.
That's exactly it.
He just made it very clear...
that he wants the two to get divorced.
The old man doesn't seem to care for anyone but Ji Hwan now.
Sorry, but I need them to stay married for now.
I said how I think of you won't change.
I'm sure you remember that.
No amount of time will change that.
I won't ask anything from you. Just stay with me.
What's the point in staying together?
You'll never be happy if you stay with me.
Why do you worry about that when I say I'm fine with it?
I just want you to let me be with you.
- You know that's impossible. - Ji Hwan.
Let's end it. For your sake too...
No. If you want what's best for me, don't let go of me.
Tae Hee.
I'm begging. I'm pleading with you to stay with me.
- I'm sorry. - Ji Hwan.
I must...
obey Grandfather.
- Let's end our marriage. - No. I won't settle.
I'll never sign the divorce papers.
If you must divorce me,
sue.
(Manager Nam Tae Hee)
You must've thought the world would be yours once I got kicked out.
What's wrong? Are things not working out?
You're such a fool.
"I'm not your granddaughter. We're not related."
Did you think you could stay married if you revealed that?
Yes.
I felt grateful to you for the first time...
for having me from a different father.
You're all alone and you still aren't seeing reason.
You really are helpless.
You'll be disappointed to know...
Grandpa said he'd consider me his granddaughter until he dies.
He's doing all he can to persuade you to get divorced,
and you got stupidly emotional and were moved?
It's none of your business. Don't bother yourself.
You might have put me on a cliff,
but I can't do that to you.
I am still your mom.
Why the sudden change?
What are you up to?
I came to the conclusion that letting Ji Hwan be your husband...
is better than letting the old man announce his heritage.
Do you not believe me?
Think about it.
Whenever something went wrong, who swooped in to save you?
Starting today, keep a close eye on Tae Hee.
She might act out.
Why won't you answer?
I'll do that.
Don't do anything stupid out of pity for her.
I'm warning you not to cross the line.
I don't intend to.
You'd better not.
You were and never will be anything to her.
Tell me how the A Market meeting went.
Oh, sure.
Yesterday, all we did was meet and say hi.
There's nothing much to say.
You just said hi?
Did you eat dinner, have coffee, and get to know each other?
Yes.
You mean you had the kind of meeting college students have...
in their free time while on the payroll?
She did say I made a good impression.
I was writing up something to explain our business plans.
You basically got shut down.
There's no need to assume that so soon.
You met someone important from a big company,
had dinner and coffee, and parted ways without anything...
to show for it and you weren't shut down?
I'd say you failed to communicate at all...
because of your poor English.
To say that, Annie spoke...
such fluent Korean.
She's Korean-American.
Darn it.
Anyway, I'll handle her from now on.
You step down.
Do you want to meet her in person?
Why? Is there a reason I can't?
I asked if there's a reason I can't.
Well...
Stop trying to get smart and hand over her number.
Hello, Annie. It's Woo Ji Hwan.
Hand it over.
I'm sorry. My director would like a word with you.
Yes, of course.
Hello.
I'm Nam Tae Hyung, WIDE's Director of Management and Planning.
I'd like to meet you in person to say hello.
Oh, I see.
Then when are you...
I understand. I'll wait to hear from you.
What? Woo Ji Hwan?
Okay.
Hello, it's me.
Yes.
Yes, sure.
Today, you mean?
I think I can make it this evening.
Sure. I'll see you then.
Bye.
This is unbelievable.
Should I show some respect?
She said she's on holiday and won't work this week,
but she wants to see you this evening?
How can you explain this?
I don't know.
I don't know much about her, but I'd say Ms. Annie Brown...
takes trusting people and work very seriously.
Oh, so this is her testing process?
Of you, not of our company?
That test.
I hope you pass.
If you mess up this business deal,
I'll hold you responsible and fire you.
A seminar?
It was a breakfast seminar.
Did you eat, then?
They provided a very nice packed meal.
You got off early for once. Why didn't you go watch a movie?
A movie? Do you want to watch one?
Shall we close the store and do that?
Goodness. I really need to watch what I say around you.
Ms. Sim.
- You're here too, Ju Hong? - Yes.
She got off early after a seminar.
Awesome. Can you pick up Sol for me, then?
Sol?
It's her last day of school and she has a lot of stuff.
I said I'd pick her up, but a large group came in to eat.
Okay, don't worry. I'll take her home.
(Iryu Elementary School)
Ju Hong!
Sol. Did you just finish school?
Yes.
Gosh, you really do have a lot of stuff.
You worked really hard this past semester.
I wanted to take the framed picture hanging in the hallway,
but my teacher told me to leave it.
She wants it to stay up next semester.
Wow, that's really impressive.
It's hot. Shall we have ice cream on the way home?
- Can we? - We can.
Let's go.
Min Young?
Sol, wait here.
Hey!
Excuse me! Wait!
It was Min Young. It was definitely her.
What's wrong?
What?
Who was that?
Oh... It wasn't anyone.
Hi, what's up?
Something strange happened?
Something strange?
What is it?
I don't know how you'll feel about it,
I think I saw Min Young.
What?
I know it makes no sense,
but she looked too much alike to ignore it.
Where did you see her?
I went to Sol's school to pick her up.
She was outside the gate, watching Sol.
She watched Sol?
If she's just a lookalike,
there's no way she'd spy on Sol outside the school.
(Jin Ho)
Okay, Ju Hong. Let's talk again.
Okay.
It can't be.
What's going on?
Hi, Jin Ho. Did you find out about Annie Brown?
What?
Welcome.
Shall we have a drink?
I heard you were outside my daughter Sol's school today.
- I was? - If you wanted to see her,
why didn't you just tell me?
Do you...
have me confused with someone else?
Woo Ha Young.
You're Min Young's twin sister.
Woo Ha Young. Isn't that who you are?
You figured it out sooner than I expected.
What's this about?
Why did you approach me?
You managed to figure out I'm Min Young's sister pretty quick.
How about you try and figure out what I'm doing in Korea?
Is that too hard to guess?
I'm here...
to take Sol, my sister's daughter.
- What? - Sol.
I'm here for her.
(The Secret House)
I'll never give her up. That's final.
I heard that...
Sol is the daughter of Director Nam Tae Hyung.
What did I do that got you so upset?
You might be young, but I'm trying so hard!
Isn't it time you open up to me?
My will...
- no longer mentions your mother. - What?
How dare you go in there and put on someone else's clothes?
Your daughter is dead!
How about you stop here and forget about it?
Whatever Tae Hee's doing,
there's no way it's unrelated to me.
Whether it's a secret or a weakness, I want to know it first.
