Isn't hotel life a little uncomfortable?
I feel more at ease than when I'm at home.
I can eat or sleep whenever I want.
It's paradise.
You're right.
I'm excessively conservative and patriarchal.
And?
Well...
It's true that I thought you were just beautiful,
sweet, and fragile.
So what?
It's not an emerald this time.
It's a ruby.
It wards off jealousy and distractions and upholds peace, they say.
I'll accept your intentions only.
What? Just my intentions?
I won't give up myself to cater to you and let myself be manipulated.
I was losing the person I really was.
We both lived with and cared only for the masks we wore.
Let's stop doing that. It was suffocating.
I don't want to go back.
Weren't you happy?
I pretended to be.
I have important business to tend to.
I'm running late. I have to go.
It's been a long time, Auntie.
I'm Joo Se Young, the chairwoman's granddaughter-in-law.
I'm also the director of Cheonha Fashion.
Oh. It's the arrogant, bratty...
- Joo Se Young. - What?
I was hoping to see Seol Yu Gyeong, seeing it's been a long time.
Seeing her daughter instead...
- feels worse. - Hey, you!
What's the matter with you?
Mom.
Min Sun Jung, are you Stella Jung?
Stella Jung?
Do you have business with her?
Why con us when you're not even Stella Jung?
Ms. Seol.
- I have something to tell you. - What is it?
Strategy and Planning called urgently.
Min Sun Jung is not Stella Jung.
What?
Did you think Cheonha Group would fall for that trick?
I'm not at all surprised.
Seol Yu Gyeong. You showed your true colors.
What about you? You haven't changed at all.
You came back from the dead, but you're still just as vulgar.
What's wrong with being vulgar?
You should drop the rest of your masks.
Show exactly how you feel.
Shut your mouth.
See? It's much nicer to look at.
Min Sun Jung.
Why did you pretend to be Stella Jung?
Stella Jung?
I never pretended to be her.
I'm her manager.
Do you manage her business deals too?
She handles everything herself. I just relay the messages.
I want to meet her.
Sorry, no can do. She's temperamental.
She suddenly canceled today's meeting with Sky which was at 7 p.m.
She can't be bothered.
Oh. Stella's planning...
a fashion show.
Some models and unwed mothers are donating their time and talent...
to put on the Stella Show.
They're looking for a sponsor.
"The Stella Show?"
The Stella Show.
I'd like to be involved in the planning process.
Work with me.
What's going on?
Aren't mom and daughter working for the same company?
The chairwoman offered to reward the team that signs Stella first.
I see she still suffers from that chronic disease.
She never stopped pitching her son against her grandson.
It's pretty obvious where you two are headed.
I'll hear your offers and then decide.
You did pretty well. I'll head off first.
She even refused the ruby ring?
She's really determined, then.
Is it really a divorce that she wants?
No. I think she's making her last ditch attempt.
Her last attempt?
She's backing herself into a corner so she has no other option?
Yes. She's fighting to her death to survive.
I should be angry with her,
but she seems to be the angry one.
She knows you covered up the truth...
of who caused Hye Soo's accident when you were prosecutor general.
She believes I played a part in...
her biological daughter's attempted murder?
That's right.
Hye Soo believed for a while that Mother was behind the accident.
Then she could think I plotted with the chairwoman...
and framed her for trying to kill her own daughter.
It's possible.
That would explain why she's so frigid.
There's just one reason.
She wants to manipulate you...
much more easily than she used to.
What?
Sun Jung's alive and back?
And she's Stella Jung's manager?
Yes. She's a changed woman.
In Ha said he'd get a friend...
at Johns Hopkins to take a look at his mom.
He didn't mention his mother at all when he was abroad,
so I assumed she hadn't made any progress.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Why would you mind that?
The manager Stella Jung's working with...
just happens to be In Ha's mother.
He recently announced he'd cut ties with you and the company...
and he's helping Hye Soo to attack you, me, and Ji Ho.
Are you saying Sun Jung's against us as well?
Not just that. I'm worried Stella Jung could be as well.
If they're on the same page, enemies can become allies in an instant.
You should stop whining and bring Stella Jung to me.
Hey, that guy looks cute. Shall I get his number?
Are you mad? You can't do that.
Let's see the photos you took.
Gosh. He looks darn handsome.
Mister! Can we have one more plate of chicken?
Okay, order received.
Give us another, two in total.
Ma'am, two plates, please.
Mr. Part-timer, you're just so popular.
Didn't you say you had dinner plans?
I guess it's because I don't feel entirely comfortable.
I didn't feel like eating at all.
Hye Soo, your kimchi bean sprout soup is the best.
I know it is.
Do you know where you're staying?
I booked a hotel suite, of course.
But I don't want to stay there. Can I stay with you instead?
Why is everyone like that? What's so great about this tiny place?
Why? Does In Ha want to stay here too?
Of course, Mom. We're engaged.
What? Kimchi bean sprout soup?
Then we need this.
I'd like a bowl, Chef Jung.
- He knows good food from bad. - He does, doesn't he?
Give him lots.
Here we go.
Oh, my son knows how to pair things.
It's so good.
Nothing beats soju with ramyeon.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What's this now? It's mother-daughter, not mother-son.
I lost my mom and fiancée. I feel so lonely.
- Come on, In Ha. Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers.
I wonder...
what my Hye Soo's doing.
Mom.
I miss you.
Who do you think Mother's thinking about now?
Her fake daughter?
Or her real daughter that she finally reunited with after 28 years?
Anyone with an ounce of common sense would think of the latter.
Why did we end up like this?
You and I fell in love at first sight.
We impulsively spent one night together.
When we met again,
we acted like moths to a flame,
not caring if we burned up with love.
I wouldn't be this angry if you weren't a fake.
Why is the fact that I'm not Mom's real daughter...
such an obstacle to our relationship?
I don't get it. Explain it to me.
You're the chairwoman's grandson, her successor.
Why is it a problem that I'm an impostor?
The fact that you are is displeasing.
I can't stand that...
you acted like a princess when you weren't at all.
I really don't get it.
If I were Mom's real daughter,
that would make me the legitimate heir to Cheonha.
You and I would be cousins.
We couldn't have gotten married at all.
Then...
why did Mother try to marry you off to In Ha?
That's weird.
Mom must've known she was an heir to the Yoo fortune.
If she didn't know I wasn't her daughter,
why'd she want me to marry In Ha?
What? If Seol Yu Gyeong was born a Yoo, why did she try to...
marry you to In Ha if she believed you were her real daughter?
Yes. Did you never wonder about that?
I never intended to let you marry In Ha.
You had arranged my adoption, so I get that you didn't care about it.
But it was different for my mom.
How could she not think about that?
It's possible that Yu Gyeong knew you were a fake.
- What? - She knew I'd switched your places...
and wanted to mess with my grandson, my most precious boy.
It could also be the opposite.
The opposite?
In Ha might not be your real grandson...
How dare you?
Don't you dare speak of him like that.
Get out this instant.
In Ha cut ties with you and moved out.
Why do you still care enough about him to get upset?
If it turns out that he's not related to you...
Gosh, Auntie.
"Auntie?"
You said my son In Ha isn't the chairwoman's grandson.
So why am I your auntie?
Shall we get our facts straight?
Your husband Yoo Ji Ho or Kang Ji Ho.
Is he really the chairwoman's grandson?
You should bow to your mother-in-law to report coming back from the dead.
I should bow to you?
Move!
Go on your knees.
Mother. I came back from the dead to take you with me.
What? How dare you...
Your only son Min Sung. When he was comatose,
you blamed him for creating Cheonha Group's slush fund.
You killed your already dying son.
I had no choice but to do so for the company's sake.
It was for In Ha, and for your own sake.
I can forgive In Ha because he's my son,
but I have no reason to forgive you.
Do you think the likes of you have the right to forgive me?
I do.
Do you know that I'm Cheonha's major shareholder second only to you?
Min Sung's shares that In Ha inherited. I manage them all.
It's you, then me,
and Seol Yu Gyeong comes third!
So don't belittle me.
You can't have come here to brag about your shares.
You have no want for money.
Why would you work as Stella Jung's manager?
You failed to see the trend.
Stella Jung is a new business item I'm investing in.
She'll become a walking company all on her own.
Talk about Stella Jung with me.
You have no place in this conversation, so don't you dare talk business.
Wait outside!
Must I slap you again first?
Mr. Ko!
Darn it. She's a complete psycho.
I have to win her over first if I'm to sign Stella Jung.
Gosh. I hate this.
I remember what Min Sung said right before the accident.
"Mother is much scarier than you think."
I took the fall for Cheonha Group's slush fund.
What?
Mother will save you and In Ha...
and kill me instead.
Why would Mother kill you?
What's wrong? Honey, the brakes aren't working.
- Why wouldn't they work? - I don't know!
Watch out, honey, no!
I'm sure someone tampered with the brakes.
I checked as soon as I flew in and the case is still unsolved.
There's no way you'd let the press report what really happened.
You found out who was behind the accident, didn't you?
I was unable to find out.
You were unable to?
Did you not try to find out?
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying I deliberately did not look for my son's killer?
- Yes. - Why would I do that?
Why? What mother wouldn't try to find out who killed her son?
Why would I do that when I'd love to find the person and shred them to pieces?
Because you killed him.
What?
The chairwoman killed In Ha's father?
No way.
What?
I...
killed...
my son Min Sung?
You loved In Ha more than anyone and wanted him...
to inherit the company.
You treat people like they're worth less than a fly.
Aren't you the one who killed my husband?
How dare you? You wench!
Ma'am.
Ma'am!
Ma'am.
Mr. Ko. Call her physician Dr. Jung.
Okay.
- Wait, Auntie. - You're still here?
Do you want another slap?
(Cheonha Hospital)
Grandma.
You were so feisty.
Why are you suddenly so weak?
Do you know why?
Your mother suddenly showed up and acted like the Grim Reaper.
- My mom's the Grim Reaper? - Stop it, Se Young.
She's not getting any younger.
By the way... Are you sure you cut ties with Grandma?
I'll stay with her.
You left Yusimwon, so you should leave this place too.
Oh, yes.
Who are we going to save today?
Then can you imitate that voice too?
Shall I try?
"It's me, Pteraman."
- You sound exactly the same. - Do I?
You said you wanted to be a voice actor.
Then can you do Detective Conan the animated character?
"My name is Conan, I'm a detective."
"There's always just one truth!"
You're so good.
You sound exactly the same.
I'd have been happier if I'd become a voice actor.
Aren't you happier now because you're with me?
I am.
You lost your husband and now you put his mother in the hospital?
- In Ha. - What are you talking about?
Grandma passed out after you left and she's still in the hospital.
What did you say that she...
I asked if she tampered with the brakes on purpose.
- Mom. - You don't know her completely.
She could be behind your father's death.
What are you talking about?
Why would she kill her own son?
For you!
What?
I could've died as well.
I know how hard you tried to get through it all.
If it hadn't been for you, I'd have died long ago.
Don't you forget that, In Ha.
Hye Soo and I both cheated death once.
Mom. Grandma wouldn't have...
killed Dad.
If it weren't her...
There's one other person who would have.
Seol Yu Gyeong.
She's your biological mother,
so you must get revenge, reconcile, or forgive her.
I'll get to the bottom of it...
and once I find out who the culprit is, whether it's the chairwoman...
or Seol Yu Gyeong, I won't forgive her.
Nothing's for sure yet, Mom.
I know that. So until then, I'm on Hye Soo's side.
Do you know how I feel?
You'll invite Min Sun Jung?
I must get to her if I'm to sign Stella Jung.
Ji Ho is Yoo Min Sung's son, so that makes him Min Sun Jung's son too.
Ji Ho now has two mothers,
his own and Min Sun Jung.
Aren't you up against your mom? What is she up to?
We're competing. Would she tell me?
Min Sun Jung is In Ha's mom,
so she'll try to get to her through him.
That's easier.
Dad, what are you thinking about?
What?
Do you miss Mom?
She can't come right home after leaving the way she did. It would hurt her ego.
She'll come around in a few days.
Se Young.
I'd like to ask you something.
Your mom said she adopted you, thinking you were her daughter.
What about you? Did you know from the start?
I was just 12 years old.
I had no idea. I found out only recently.
I should go home. Goodnight.
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
I heard you must sign a deal with Stella Jung.
Se Young said she invited Min Sun Jung to her place.
You should have her over too.
Tell me the date and time and I'll make myself scarce.
I love you, honey.
She invited Min Sun Jung to her home?
I'll use your official title when we're at work.
That's only right.
We must sign Stella Jung...
if Cheonha Fashion is to conquer the Southeast Asian market.
And if you're to remain vice-chairwoman.
Don't you think you need Stella Jung's help...
to prove you didn't copy her work...
if you're to retain your honor and your title?
I think your career's on the line too.
What do you want me to do?
You know Stella Jung's manager Min Sun Jung, don't you?
Yes. She's In Ha's mother.
I'd like to invite her to my place for a chat.
You need her help to sign Stella Jung.
Yes, that's right.
I'll see if I can arrange something through In Ha.
Thank you.
Not at all. This involves me too.
- Goodbye, then. - Wait.
The wind got much colder recently. Don't catch a cold.
I can do this myself. Thanks for your concern.
Darn it. Those brats.
How could they kick me out during the weekend?
Where am I supposed to go?
Other than Seol Yu Gyeong,
I've never met another woman who intimidates me like that.
My phone.
I forgot my phone because I was so rushed.
- Welcome, Auntie. - Don't call me that.
According to the family tree...
I met you as In Ha's friend a few times,
but this is the first since I became family.
- I'm Yoo Ji Ho. - "Yoo Ji Ho?"
The one thing Min Sung left behind was a child born out of wedlock?
What a joke.
I see why you're offended.
But if you were to think you have one more son...
What? I have one more son?
This is unbelievable. I see you're brazen and shameless.
That's why you stole and married In Ha's witch of a fiancée.
Let's sort out our titles first. You're to call me "Mother."
I understand, Mother.
I'll call you that too, then.
Let's see how my new son and daughter-in-law treat me.
(Game of Witches)
How about we frame Seol Yu Gyeong for my father's accident?
Ji Ho, paint whatever picture you want.
I'll back you up.
Stella Jung will decide which team...
to work with after the fashion show.
Our ultimate target is Chairwoman Ma Hyun Duk.
Our first target...
is Joo Se Young who'll be dealt a painful uppercut.
