(Episode 26)
Da Jung.
What are you doing here?
I'm so very sorry.
- What? - I had the wrong idea about you.
You...
Oh, my goodness.
Mother.
Da Jung. Who is this man?
- He's... - Nice to meet you.
I'm the manager of Bobaejung where Ms. Jung works.
So what if you're a manager?
What were you doing here hugging another man's wife?
I didn't hug her.
I pulled her out of the way of an electric scooter.
Don't get the wrong idea, ma'am.
Is that what happened?
Yes, Mother.
What are you doing here at this time of evening?
I'm sorry. I gave the wrong impression.
I came to tell Da Jung something.
About work, of course.
Okay.
Still, the neighbors could've gotten the wrong idea about you two.
Even so,
how could you think of kissing me in front of Da Jung?
You resorted to shock tactics last time.
How could you do it again?
It's just what it is. A shock tactic.
It's the only thing she reacts to.
The problem is it makes her more defiant.
What if Da Jung gets so angry she refuses to divorce me?
What do you think?
That's what is important.
Will you leave Da Jung...
and marry me?
What are you even saying?
Of course I want to marry you.
Whenever I think of you,
a side of my heart stings and it aches so bad.
It does?
"How much did you love me..."
"that you had my baby?"
"How badly did you want it..."
"that you carried it to term?"
And still,
for my sake,
you gave the baby away so I could stay with my family.
How must you have felt...
when you did that?
Whenever I think of that,
I feel so sorry for you that I want to give you half my heart.
I love you, Se Ran.
More than my own life,
I love you.
Do you?
Then will you divorce Da Jung?
Of course I will.
But I'm not sure if she will...
give in willingly.
I don't know what to do.
When I'm with Se Ran, I want to marry her.
But when I'm home, I don't think I should leave Da Jung.
Should I not have gone to her place?
But I felt so bad, I had to do something.
Da Jung and Sang Chul's marriage has been over for a while.
They'll divorce soon,
and Sang Chul will marry me.
I'd gotten it the other way around.
Kang Se Ran, that woman was the mistress.
I despised a completely innocent woman.
That manager guy. I just don't like him.
It was really nothing, Mother.
Are you sure?
Why did he keep calling you "Da Jung?"
Is that what he calls you when you're at work?
- What? - Also,
what could be so important that he'd come over...
to a married woman's house this late?
Why didn't he just call you?
That's weird too.
Come on, Mother. What are you imagining?
What? It's not something to laugh about.
Do you know how horrified I was to see you?
The man looked at you with such a sweet look in his eyes.
If any of our neighbors had seen you,
they'd have gotten the wrong idea right away.
I had the wrong idea about you.
What did he have the wrong idea about?
And was that such an urgent thing to tell me?
What? Some man was hugging Da Jung?
Yes.
He was a tall and rich-looking young man too.
Are you dreaming?
Is it wishful thinking?
I saw them with my two eyes.
Oh, he said he's Bobaejung's manager.
Bobaejung's manager?
Did you read the Jang Industries report?
Yes. It's quite an enticing prospect.
Let's buy out Jang Industries.
Are you sure?
Dream Food's Chairman Wang will make a move.
We're bound to take him on one day.
Chairman Wang forced Jang Industries into bankruptcy...
because he wanted to buy it for a bargain.
If he were to find out we bought them first, he'd be distraught.
Cheers.
This reminds me of when we were in Paris.
Yes. You and I went to so many places.
A lot has changed since then.
You look just the same.
You haven't changed at all.
Actually, you’ve gotten more mellow and more beautiful with age.
I'm just older.
You're still good at brown-nosing.
Excuse me.
Yes, it's me.
Where? W?
They got in my way again?
My daughter-in-law told me the gist of what happened,
but I waited to hear your side of the story.
Is it true?
Were you really arrested...
at the scene as a suspect?
Yes. That's true, but...
It's true?
Madam. Will you hear me out?
What more is there to hear if it's true?
You...
How did that happen?
Why did it have to be my son of all people?
What kind of karma is this?
You're mistaken, Madam.
I had no idea you were my son's murderer.
I considered you like a son.
Oh, my goodness.
How am I to face my son when I see him again?
Shin. You know how I thought of you.
How could you do this to me? How could you do this?
Madam.
I didn't kill Man Seok. It wasn't me.
Man Seok was my friend.
How could I kill my friend however much I hated him?
I won't hear it. You call that an excuse?
Get out right now.
Get out of my sight!
I don't want to see you again.
Don't appear before me ever again!
Leave this instant!
Madam.
Mr. Shin.
Are you all right?
If there were a deity,
I'd like to ask why they're so cruel to me.
Madam Yoon's in great despair that her son died,
and she wants to turn that anger to someone else.
She might not get it now,
but soon she'll see you're innocent.
Our manager Yo Han looked into it.
He found out you were cleared in court.
You must feel so wronged.
Thanks for believing in me.
I'll talk to Madam Yoon when the time is right.
You should leave for now.
I will. Thank you.
Well, actually...
Jung Da Jung who works in your kitchen.
She's my daughter.
What? Ms. Jung?
Yes.
She doesn't know I was locked up and all that.
I'll tell her later on.
Pretend you don't know anything.
(Hanyang Hwaro)
Dad, what a great timing.
I was worried the soup would get cold.
Why would you come here in the morning?
Look after your own family.
You're family too.
Eat before it gets cold.
It's dried pollack soup. You like that.
Goodness...
I have to get to work.
Dad. I love you.
You're being silly.
- Go on or you'll be late. - See you.
Da Jung.
Forgive your foolish dad.
I'm an idiot,
and I give people the wrong impression.
I wronged your mom too,
and you grew up without her.
Poor you.
Oh, dear...
(Bobaejung)
Let me formally introduce my daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
You must all know...
I was looking for my long-lost son.
After a long search, I found my only blood relative,
Kang Se Ran.
I appoint her as Bobaejung's CEO.
From now on,
serve her as you served me.
Do your utmost so that Bobaejung can do even better...
in the future.
Say hello.
Hello, I'm Kang Se Ran.
I studied cooking and became a chef in the Philippines,
but I lack on-the-job experience.
I have a long way to go before I can succeed my grandmother.
I hope you'll all guide me well.
My mother-in-law made me senior manager.
I got a huge promotion from doing the odd jobs in the kitchen.
You're so impatient.
I was going to introduce you.
I'm Ms. Cheon. Let's do our best to work together.
(Bobaejung)
Hey, give me that.
Where do you want this?
What on earth are you doing?
No. Start by telling me why you were outside my house.
That was...
I can't tell you if you stare right at me.
I feel bad and intimidated already.
You feel intimidated too?
Then tell me what you did wrong.
I got a horribly wrong idea about you.
I see that. That's what you said when you were outside my place.
What was the wrong idea?
Here you are, Mr. Wang.
Go to Madam Yoon. She wants to see you.
Okay.
Let's finish talking later.
My treat. I'll make a reservation.
What?
Shall I take this to storage?
What did he whisper in your ear?
Is it something I can't know?
You must be pleased to be Madam Yoon's daughter-in-law.
I congratulate you both.
Why does it sound so cold?
Anyway,
I'm done with this kitchen,
now that I'm a senior manager.
I hope you address me accordingly from now on.
Jung Da Jung.
You should answer obediently when your superior talks to you.
What kind of attitude is that?
You need to correct that.
Do you think you can stay around with that attitude?
Very well. I understand, Ms. Cheon.
Darn you.
I had to poke you to get that out of you.
Poke with words, I mean.
I just don't like you.
My treat. I'll make a reservation.
What on earth is this about?
You'll register Ms. Kang?
Why are you so surprised?
She is my granddaughter, so she should be on the family registry.
That's true.
I'll do everything for her that I couldn't so far.
But that will have to wait.
Why?
I'd like to call my lawyer and sort out the inheritance too.
Mr. Kim left for Mexico yesterday for a month-long holiday.
My goodness.
He talked endlessly about the Santa María beach,
and he finally went.
Why don't you visit the orphanage where old Miss Kim is at?
She could tell you what your son was like growing up.
Yes, let's do that.
I'd been wanting to meet this Miss Kim.
Why is that manager always in the way?
I know, right?
We should sort him out.
How?
What if he uses that against you?
He knows about me and Sang Chul.
What if he tells Grandma and she doesn't make me...
her legal granddaughter?
Why did you have to fall for Sang Chul in the first place?
Your life is a newly paved highway.
Improve your standards a bit.
Not that again.
Wait. We should silence Da Jung first.
We can't have her talking to Madam Yoon.
Anyway,
I just have to marry Sang Chul soon.
Then all will be well.
What now?
Are you here to brag about your rich grandma?
Congratulations on that, though.
Do you want the scraps from the table?
As if.
You wouldn't spare any even if I asked.
You know so well.
You have a rich grandma now,
and we'll move in different circles.
End it with my husband.
Are you saying you won't divorce him?
That's right. Now listen up.
I will not get divorced.
Says who?
You must.
Why should I get divorced?
To do you a favor?
That's even more reason for me not to.
You want to cling to a man who doesn't love you anymore,
to keep an empty shell of a marriage going?
Da Jung, did you never have guts, a spine,
or self-esteem?
You.
Do you think Sang Chul loves you?
You saw...
just how fired up things are between us.
That was a show you put on for me to see.
Not once but twice.
You won't divorce him, then?
That's right.
So I'd like you to give up on him.
That's some advice from me, your one-time good friend.
Darn her.
Jung Da Jung.
You should quit.
What?
That's an order from your CEO.
You don't have to come in starting tomorrow.
I get that you're the CEO, but you can't fire me...
when I did nothing wrong.
I will not resign.
We'll see if you can stay on.
Yes, let's see. You don't scare me at all.
You want to fire me so you can marry Sang Chul.
Do you think you'll get your way?
Shut your mouth. Watch what you say.
The moment you force me to quit,
I'll go and tell Madam Yoon everything.
If you can handle that, go ahead and fire me.
Don't you dare.
I'll get you locked up for libel.
Why? Are you afraid of that?
Was sleeping around with my husband an honorable thing?
If you want to keep your flimsy honor intact,
Don't try to bully me at work.
What?
You want me to keep quiet about the affair to Madam Yoon?
I hate that darn word "affair."
It wasn't an affair. It was love.
Wake up.
Quit packaging your dirty lust as love...
and justifying your actions.
Mr. Wang.
Why are you so nosy?
Whether I'm lustful or in love,
it has nothing to do with you.
I can't ignore injustice.
And I can't stand that I mistook Ms. Jung for the mistress.
I feel guilty.
That's your problem.
I want you to stay out of my business.
Do me a favor.
Why should I do you a favor?
I can just tell Madam Yoon whenever I want.
Then tell her when you want to.
My grandma's health isn't that great.
I'm asking you to keep the secret...
for her own sake.
For her sake and health?
- Is that so? - Also,
as you already heard,
I plan to pull rank as CEO and dismiss Da Jung.
As you can see, Da Jung and I...
can't exactly work together.
It would be uncomfortable.
In this situation, who do you think should quit?
Don't you say anything about it.
I need to ask for one more thing.
The orphanage.
I'll handle them.
The orphanage?
I forgot to thank you.
I'm grateful you tracked us down via the orphanage records.
But from now on, we'll handle everything ourselves.
You seem to be mistaken.
I don't work for you or your mother.
I help Madam Yoon...
I'm telling you that it is now our business.
Anything about my father,
my mom and I will handle in person from now on.
It might be upsetting to hear,
but I'd like you to back off.
Madam Yoon sent me to find your father,
and I'll discuss with her how to wrap things up.
One more thing.
I have a condition for keeping quiet...
about your affair.
A condition?
Promise...
you won't fire Ms. Jung from Bobaejung.
The moment you do,
I'll be unable to control my tongue from talking to Madam Yoon.
How does that sound?
I'll take that to mean you accept the condition. Let's get back.
Darn it.
What is the matter with him?
Jung Da Jung. When did you wrap him around your little finger?
You have some cavalry backing you up.
What? Miss Kim went to a care home?
Hey, it's the bed-wetter.
Give back my son's photo.
It's not your son.
What are you doing with someone else's photo?
I don't know him.
Kang Man Seok from Sarang Orphanage...
was your son from before you met Dad so he's not my brother.
Myung Sik.
I don't care. I won't look for him.
He must've changed his name anyway.
It's my only wish before I die.
I want to see my son.
It's my only wish before I die.
I want to see my son.
Here you are.
You can't keep leaving your room.
- But... - Come along.
Goodness.
I'm at the restaurant in Dream Hotel.
Come over after work.
What's he up to?
Will this be a good enough apology?
I can make it up to her over time.
Sit down. Let's talk.
No, there's nothing to talk about.
Let's get a divorce.
What?
Even if everyone in the world,
no, all the women in the world were to cheat,
I thought you'd love and care only about me,
and never betray me.
Until we died.
What are you on about?
Don't pretend you don't know, you sly woman.
The black pot...
called out the black kettle and made a huge fuss.
When I think about how you treated me,
I feel so sick I want to throw up what I ate in middle school.
This is unbelievable.
What is this about? Put it so I can understand.
They say women are vixens.
How could I be so clueless?
But then, how could I know if you hid it from me so thoroughly?
Are you on your way?
I've been waiting for an hour now.
Text me back at least.
Don't wait for me.
See? You're still seeing him.
Give that back. You can't take my phone.
You're just as guilty. I caught you red-handed.
Did Mother tell you my manager was here?
She's mistaken.
"She's mistaken?"
There's proof right here and she's mistaken?
I'm done with you.
Goodness.
(Manager)
(The Third Marriage)
Will you quit the childish antics?
You're manipulating Sang Chul and his mom to get me kicked out,
but why would I do you a favor?
I'd rather die than get divorced.
I'm warning you. Don't get Da Jung in trouble.
Instead of trying to stab her in the back,
get your lives sorted out.
"Lawsuit against the affair partner?"
Se Ran, what are you doing?
Hand it over to me.
