Sang Jun and Auntie are messing with Ji Woo's head.
Oh, no. What do I do?
What... Who may you be?
I'm Choi Jae Seok, a reporter with Breaking News.
I'm Woo Sung Doo, a reporter with Hanbit Journal.
Are you actor Lee Sang Jun's cousin?
I am. What is this about?
We received a tip...
about you raising Mr. Lee's son as your own,
and we cross-checked the facts.
The tip seemed credible, so we came to see you.
Is it true?
The evidence we have...
It's true.
Can you elaborate?
I raised...
Lee Sang Jun's son.
Young Sik.
Please continue.
For 20 years,
I raised Sang Jun's son with love...
and took care of him.
Why have you kept it a secret?
May I record our conversation?
Are you reporters?
Please don't be like this.
Please contact his agency for an official interview...
I will tell you everything I know.
Go ahead.
Who asked you to raise Lee Sang Jun's son?
Was it Lee Sang Jun?
It was Lee Sang Jun's mother.
Young Sik.
Auntie.
I'm giving honest answers...
to the reporters' questions.
Why are you doing this?
I've raised Lee Sang Jun's son for 20 years.
For more details,
you can ask the woman here.
Please wait.
Ma'am, aren't you Lee Sang Jun's mother?
Yes, I am.
If what his cousin just said is true...
I think he was just tired.
He's been harassed with a lot of calls...
from reporters lately.
Were there more reporters who asked about stuff like this?
Yes.
A few days ago,
they even asked if Sang Jun had twin daughters.
We've been suffering a lot on a daily basis.
Gosh...
What was that? He said he'd tell us everything,
but he just got in a car and drove away.
I think my nephew is too exhausted.
He is asked the same question every day.
Are you saying it's not true that he raised Lee Sang Jun's son?
That's not true.
My son, Sang Jun doesn't have a son.
I believe you all read the article...
that said it was a false rumor.
When Sang Jun's son is actually born someday,
you can make a report about it.
I'm telling you the truth.
How would Sang Jun have a son?
Then are his cousin's sons...
his biological children?
I don't think you have a reason...
to know everything about someone else's family affair.
I'm telling you...
it's not true that he raised Sang Jun's son.
If you run articles that are far from the truth,
we will look into taking legal action.
All right then.
Eun Ju, I asked you...
to give Ji Woo some time.
You have no right to lecture me.
I was just worried about my son, so I went to see him.
What's wrong about that?
Ms. Eun Ju, I think I understand how Ji Woo feels.
I once thought my family would be happy...
and better off without me.
But he will realize after spending some time alone.
That he loves his family and he can't live without them.
Forget about it.
Tae Ju, if you're here to give me a lecture, just leave.
Why are you taking it out on Tae Ju? She's just worried.
You're being so annoying. Just get out of here. Please.
Where's Young Sik? Isn't he home?
I guess he's at his studio.
Young Sik just told some reporters...
that he had raised Sang Jun's son...
for 20 years.
- What? - What are you talking about?
Why would he meet reporters?
The reporters came to the studio to interview him.
In front of the reporters,
he said, "I've raised Lee Sang Jun's son."
"It was his mother who asked me to do that."
He said this and took off.
My husband did that?
I told the reporters that it wasn't true,
but they might run some articles about it.
I just don't understand Young Sik.
Where do you think Young Sik would be now?
He wasn't answering the phone, so I came here.
It's all because Young Sik was deeply hurt.
He lied because he was hurt?
And he even got Sang Jun into a scrape!
If you're here to blame Young Sik,
I want you to leave now.
Didn't you find anything strange about him?
What do you mean?
I believe Young Sik deceived us.
Deceive you?
He knew that Ji Woo wasn't my son from the get-go,
but he didn't tell me.
Why would he do that? He has no reason.
Did he deceive you too?
Or were you in on this, lying to me?
- That's... - Sang Jun! How could you say that?
You know...
we have worked hard for your family...
as a butler and a housekeeper.
How could you possibly accuse us of being frauds?
Please calm down, Ms. Eun Ju.
Auntie, what did we do so wrong?
What is it we did so wrong to you?
I think we should call Mr. Wang now so he will cover up the story.
I'll call Seung Gu.
(Eun Ju)
(Reject)
Darn it!
"I've raised Lee Sang Jun's son."
"A confession by his relative?"
Gosh, they were so quick to publish such a trashy article.
Gosh.
The headline is very provocative.
It will attract a lot of readers quickly.
There will be a correction soon.
It will say he said it in a fit of temper because of the reporters.
Mother, please don't worry.
Even if it spreads, it's not true anyway.
So it will die away soon.
Of course. There's solid evidence that he's not Sang Jun's son.
Mom.
I found the center where Young Sik got the test results from...
twenty years ago and I'm checking things with them.
I think Young Sik lied to us.
I also found it suspicious.
Every time we talked about the DNA test results,
he got really over-sensitive.
I don't think he was just worried about Ji Woo.
If the test results said no match from the beginning,
then...
Then you will have to sue him for fraud.
At least I will bring a charge against him.
My artist had to suffer psychological damage from it.
Let's talk about it later.
Mother, why don't you go downstairs with me?
You should get some rest.
Okay.
Mom.
I still don't understand...
why you made such a decision.
I trusted Young Sik.
I trusted Young Sik as much as I trusted you.
How would I have doubted him?
He's my nephew. How would I even question him?
I'm still...
having a hard time believing it.
I know you've been through a lot.
Go get some rest.
Okay.
Dad is fine now.
He's just sleeping.
It feels like...
I had the worst nightmare today.
Obviously, she's not normal.
Don't let it bother you, Mother.
Why did you befriend a weirdo like her?
They say you can judge a person by their friends.
Mom, please.
You can't take it out on your pregnant daughter-in-law.
And she's not even Hyun Jung's friend.
She was someone she met at school.
I'm not taking it out on her.
All my three children are crazy.
None of them are married to a decent spouse.
- Mom. - Hey.
You might wake Haeng Bok up.
Mother, did I say anything wrong?
I think that runs in the family.
Getting married against their parents' wishes.
I wish I could say...
you didn't have to worry because they were happy.
Oh, dear.
But I just can't stand his ex-wife getting in the way.
Tell me about it!
Hey, that's enough for today.
You guys should go sleep now.
You did well today.
Okay.
Why are you looking at it?
Give me that. I'll throw it away.
No. I'll give this back to her.
You should go to your room and rest.
Don't get too caught up in it.
Go.
Hello.
Did you know Hee Eun was at the curry restaurant?
Yes. Ji Hye told me.
She even came to Gun Woo's work...
and gave him your wedding photo.
What?
I'll meet with this lunatic and put her in her place.
Even if she's terminal, this isn't acceptable.
How is So Rim doing?
She'll be devastated.
Her parents are in shock too.
Just knowing you were divorced...
and meeting your ex-wife is a whole new level of despair.
Her father passed out,
and the atmosphere is bad in general.
I thought you should be warned.
Okay.
Thanks for calling.
You found it, Professor?
No, we'll see them in person.
Thank you. I'll see you soon.
My professor found them.
What did he say?
He got a sealed envelope.
I said we'd see them in person.
Let's get changed.
Okay.
Luckily for you, everything was saved in a database.
They had all three reports that were requested in Jang Young Sik's name.
The first two were done a few days apart,
and the third was done two months later.
(March 10, March 15, May 20, year 2002)
It fits the timeline your mother gave us.
(No match)
"No match."
No match.
(Jang Young Sik and Jang Soo Bin are no paternal match.)
No match.
Professor.
Are you sure...
these were all done in Jang Young Sik's name?
Check the phone number.
It was a 016 carrier then.
They're Young Sik's last four digits.
Thank you so much, Professor.
You were a huge help.
Okay.
Are you sure these are the results from 20 years ago?
I got these through...
Tae Ju's med school professor.
Twenty years ago,
Young Sik had three DNA tests done.
They all say there's no match.
Ji Woo didn't have a name yet, so he'd used Soo Bin's name.
The first two tests were done on March 10 and 15,
and the third...
was done two months later, on May 20.
That was...
after Sang Jun had returned from filming overseas.
It sounds about right.
No way.
Why would Young Sik do such a thing?
None of the tests say I'm the dad.
He lied to you about it, Mom.
I saw three different reports that said it was a match.
He'd forged those.
No way.
Young Sik had no reason to do that.
Only he knows the reason.
There's no reason to lie and raise...
someone else's son as Sang Jun's.
He wanted to get leverage on me.
He got leverage on Sang Jun...
and used that to take our money.
Lee Sang Min. Watch what you say.
When did we take your money?
You may not have asked for it outright.
But we've done you favors and helped you in many ways.
Add up all that you took...
and I bet it'll be worth a house.
Don't you think of all the work we did for you?
Stop it.
He didn't tell that Bae Dong Chan wasn't a prosecutor...
and lured me into a fraudulent marriage.
I guess he wanted Sang Jun...
to live in guilt for abandoning his son.
Sue him for fraud.
Young Sik needs to rot in prison.
Lee Sang Min!
You're like this which is why Young Sik felt hurt.
Even if you fell into a trap he set,
it was your own doing.
That's enough!
Stop talking like that to each other.
I can't...
believe this.
I guess she had no idea either.
Why would Young Sik do such a thing?
Se Ran loved him so much.
Sang Jun worked nonstop to earn enough money...
to marry him off.
I bet you constantly made such comments to show off.
And they stung Young Sik which is why he did this.
Oh, dear.
Gil Yeon.
Why is your son Young Sik like this?
Jang Young Sik.
I'll make him kneel before me...
and apologize sincerely.
Fine. Do whatever you want.
Eun Ju.
You know something, don't you?
What grudge does Young Sik have...
that he'd dupe us for 20 years?
Grandma.
Why are you doing this to us?
You know how hard we worked...
to help Se Ran and do all her odd jobs.
Eun Ju. Don't get so worked up and think carefully.
There must be a reason Young Sik did this.
Neither of you cares about the state he's in, do you?
Are you sure you took him in and treated him as family?
Whatever grudge he had against us,
he shouldn't have lied 20 years ago.
Forget about Sang Jun and Tae Ju who are adults.
What about the hurt and turmoil Ji Woo's going through?
What did the poor thing do to deserve this?
I'll take care of my husband and my son.
You two can stop caring.
What...
Is she blaming us for this?
Se Ran.
You said Tae Ju knows where Ji Woo is, right?
I should see him.
How bad must he feel for him to say he won't come home?
I should talk to him.
Mom.
You might get sick first.
I can't face Gil Yeon like this in the afterlife.
You, Young Sik, and Eun Ju.
I had no idea you were all suffering.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Honey, where are you?
I at least should know where you are.
I'm worried about you.
Young Sik. Will you call me back?
Young Sik.
(Today's Curry)
Ms. Kim.
Goodness.
How's your father?
He's stable now,
and my brother is taking care of him.
I was also surprised when Ji Hye told me...
what happened last night.
I'm so sorry.
My entire family is in shock.
I heard that she came by your brother's workplace...
to give him our old photo.
When one is physically ill, it affects one's mentality.
You have a lapse in judgments.
I am utterly embarrassed by all of this.
I'm so sorry.
It's nothing you have to apologize for.
Does she really have an incurable illness?
I haven't been able to find that out yet.
You should look into how serious her condition is.
I should meet your parents and ask for their forgiveness first.
You should take that.
Right. I'm sorry about this.
(Lee Sang Jun)
Look who's calling me.
This is Sin Mu Yeong.
May I ask where you are?
I'm outside Today's Curry...
with Ms. So Rim.
If you're free this evening, let's meet up at my place.
Sure. Got it.
What did Sang Jun say?
That he wants to talk later this evening.
What a surprise. I didn't expect you to call me first.
Have a seat.
Enjoying the weekend with a friend isn't so bad.
Why did you go by Gun Woo's workplace?
Well...
I wanted to greet your husband.
Why did you give this to him?
I was reminded of how you brought us together.
By the way, when's the wedding?
Maybe I should be the one to catch the bouquet.
What the... My gosh!
Goodness.
Come on. What was that all about?
There was no need to smash it with a hammer.
The frame wasn't cheap, you know.
What game are you playing?
Are you even sick?
Are you questioning me as well?
You came to the curry restaurant and got on your knees.
Was that necessary?
Your in-laws seemed like very nice people.
I knew I'd get through to them.
Leave Mu Yeong be.
He worked hard to raise his daughter...
while running his company.
He finally found someone nice to settle down with.
The woman he's seeing is your sister-in-law.
The older sister of your young husband.
She is better than you in every aspect.
Leave her be.
There must be a reason...
she's dating an older man who has a daughter of age.
What about you, then?
What happened to all those men in your life?
My friend,
I'm dealing with an illness.
Can't I spend my remaining days with my family?
You call them your family when you stepped out on them?
You should spend your days at a hospital with doctors.
You're mean.
And you're crazy.
Leave Mu Yeong and So Rim alone.
Who knows? You might even get healthier.
One might think you're So Rim's mother...
or maybe her big sister.
I'm So Rim's big sister.
It's good to meet you. I'm Tae Ju, So Rim's sister.
Hello.
I see.
You looked much better in your photo.
Thanks for the dolled up wedding photo.
It left quite an impression.
Anyway, I heard you were sick.
May I ask what you have?
You and your sister must have a good relationship.
Look at you taking action when it's your sister's business.
Tae Ju's a doctor.
Informing her of your condition...
might benefit you.
Can you tell me which doctor you saw...
and what the diagnosis was?
What for? Are you going to fix me?
No, I don't have that kind of power,
but I'm concerned being a doctor myself.
Could I maybe check your medical record?
Do you think I'm lying?
I'm worried, that's all.
I'm sick...
which is why I want to spend my remaining days with my husband.
Is that too much to ask?
Why does it seem like you're threatening people...
by using your illness as an excuse?
You people are so mean.
You crossed the line big time...
when you came to see my parents.
It's why...
I'm going to tell So Rim not to break up with Mu Yeong.
Requesting that they break up because you're sick?
It's a form of violence.
This is too much for me.
I should head out.
Let me call an ambulance that will take you to a hospital.
Tell your sister to get her head on straight.
What is she trying to gain by clinging on to a man...
who has a daughter of age?
Out of love, probably.
I also love him.
Does that look like a sick person to you?
We'll have to wait and see.
Did you read the articles?
I did.
"I raised Lee Sang Jun's son for 20 years."
I also read the article that said...
he was harassed by reporters.
I didn't want the family to have any more secrets...
which is why I'm being honest with you.
I was able to track down...
the paternity test reports from 20 years ago.
None of them came back with me as your biological father.
If the reporters keep digging,
I'll have to reveal the truth to a point.
How far are you willing to reveal?
That your dad knew you weren't my son,
but he raised you with love.
I won't tell them...
that your father fooled us.
You should. Why would you keep it a secret?
Right.
I may have to say that as well.
That my cousin...
lied about the boy being mine...
and the family raised the boy in secret.
I'm telling you...
since either version could hurt you.
I'm fine with it all, so do as you wish.
You don't have to pretend to be brave.
I was abducted and shoved into a warehouse,
but I'm doing fine.
I'm sorry, Ji Woo.
It's just that I don't want...
to keep secrets or let things slide.
But...
why did my dad do what he did?
I'm not sure.
Ji Woo!
Tae Ju's here. Let's go.
Go where?
Just come on out.
Where are we going?
- To eat out. - What are we having?
It's not the curry restaurant, but the food is delicious.
Don't ask questions and just follow our lead.
Seung Gu apologized for plucking out your hair.
I told him to get you a hair transplant if you go bald.
Let's stop to recharge.
(How may I help you?)
Find me the nearest charging station.
(Find me the nearest charging station.)
Ji Woo, about the restaurant we are going now.
It offers home-cooked meals. Is that all right with you?
I'd love that.
Actually, that's my place.
Do you mind?
You mean Uncle Sang Jun's house?
No, my dad's place.
He misses you a lot.
I can go to the curry restaurant then.
But my dad is sick now.
So he won't be able to work next week.
Is something wrong with him?
Why don't you go ask him yourself?
The eldest is so busy.
Let's go.
Come on in.
Hello.
I'm glad you're here, Ji Woo.
I wanted to eat with you,
so I asked Sang Jun to bring you.
I heard you were sick.
I'm fine.
Now that I see you here, I feel a lot better.
Let's go and eat before the soup gets cold.
Wait.
Mom, you should apologize to Ji Woo.
You can't work here anymore.
It's just shameless of you to want to work here.
Honey.
What do you think you're doing? That's not very adult of you.
Did I say anything wrong?
Can you face him at ease?
He's Sang Jun's hidden son.
I'm really fine.
She's right, honey.
A real grown-up knows when to apologize...
to those who are younger.
He's right. You need to be more thoughtful.
Mother, I don't think you're in a position to say that.
Will you apologize or not?
I'm sorry, Ji Woo.
You must've been hurt.
Ji Woo, if you don't feel like it,
you don't have to accept her apology.
You're just here to have a warm meal today.
He's right, Ji Woo. Don't accept her apology yet.
Just save it.
My gosh.
You're the one who told her to apologize.
Why are you telling him not to accept it?
I'm really fine. I don't mind...
Actually, I do.
Look at you, Ji Woo. You hold grudges.
Let's go in.
Let's go.
Here.
Don't pick at your food and eat a lot.
You should refresh yourself with it so you can accept my apology.
Just eat at ease.
He might get an upset stomach.
Hey, if you don't like the food, give it to Jung Sook.
They say you kill your enemy with kindness.
Mother!
Mother and Grandmother, I guess you will never get bored.
My family is a little talkative.
I hope you will understand.
I think that's sweet.
Ji Woo would like some old comic talk.
We don't need an old comic talk. We have Tom and Jerry right here.
Who's Tom and who's Jerry?
Was the mouse Tom or Jerry?
- Tom. - Jerry.
What? Who would it be?
Is it Gun Woo?
I called my friend over.
You didn't have to bring these.
It's nothing.
Grandma.
My gosh.
Ji Woo!
What...
Is everything all right with you?
Have you been eating well?
Yes.
Look at you. My dear.
I've been really worried about you.
My gosh.
I'm glad that you're healthy.
Okay.
It's fine as long as you're healthy. There's nothing more I wish for.
Grandmother, you didn't eat yet, did you?
Please come and join us.
All right.
Tae Ju.
Thank you for taking good care of Ji Woo.
Thank you, Mr. Kim.
My pleasure.
I owe Ji Woo something anyway.
Ms. Yoon, please join us and eat with us.
I'd love to.
- Let's go in. - Okay.
- Ji Woo. - Let's go.
- Okay.
Come here.
I remember her face.
She was here about 15 years ago.
Do you not know where she is now?
Of course not.
When she was here,
did her family come here to visit her?
Her husband or son.
I'm not sure.
I don't think so.
Did she leave here on her own?
The thing is, she often fought with the people here.
One day, she made a big fuss...
and disappeared all of a sudden.
Okay.
If you hear from her,
please give us a call.
Okay. By the way,
are you her family?
We used to be family.
Please stay in touch then.
Sure.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
Wait.
A long time ago,
some photographer or painter came to see her.
She bragged to me that he took a photo of her.
He took a photo of her here?
Isn't he Sang Jun's cousin?
Didn't she say it was her son?
No.
She just said he was a photographer and a painter.
But I thought he might be her son.
Did he come here often?
No. I think he came here only a couple of times.
And she moved out shortly afterward.
Okay. Thank you.
All right.
I guess he was in touch with his mom 15 years ago.
I think so.
Where did your mother go? To the hospital?
She said she'd meet her friend.
I'm not sure if it's okay for her to go out like that when she's sick.
We don't know that.
Maybe she wants to wrap things up for the last moments of her life.
Don't say that.
It makes me so sad.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
Ji Hye, do you play tennis?
No.
Then this must belong to your mom.
I guess so.
My heart aches for you.
I hope a miracle will happen...
and my mom will recover completely.
Let's pray for a miracle.
Okay.
Ji Hye.
I'm praying for you every day.
I hope your dad and mom will be at our wedding.
My dream is that you and I will make a deep bow...
to them at our wedding.
Do you think it will come true?
Or why don't we just get married next month?
When my mom still has the energy to move around.
I'd love to. Let's get married.
I'll tell my mom.
Okay.
The eldest son is so busy.
And the eldest daughter is busy too.
Thank you for taking good care of Ji Woo.
And thank you that you want to meet with Mr. Sin.
I'm the firstborn and the oldest son-in-law.
By the way, why is it so chilly in here?
Actually, I called a technician to have our windows fixed.
I think they need repair.
Have you not been maintaining the apartment while I was away?
As my heart felt too cold,
I wasn't in the mindset to maintain the apartment.
What?
That must be him.
- I'll get the door. - Okay.
Can I wear this to host Mr. Sin?
Were you going to wear a suit?
We're meeting today to discuss a heavy topic.
It'll feel more suffocating if you dress up for a serious chat.
I feel bad that Father fainted.
It won't just be about Mr. Sin's ex-wife.
I stressed him out too.
You know that much?
You went on your knees as well.
I hope I can do my duty as the firstborn and help So Rim.
We're done fixing the windows.
You still fix really old windows?
Of course, we do. Call us at any time.
Check your side.
The place doesn't feel as cold now. Thanks a lot.
They're nice and tight now.
- That must be Mr. Sin. - Okay.
Thanks a lot.
- Hello. - I'm back.
- Hi, welcome. - Hello.
Did I bother you when you're busy with something?
No, I'm glad you're here.
I brought some fruit.
You didn't have to, but thank you.
- Come this way. - Thanks.
Can you help us out, So Rim?
Oh, sorry.
Tae Ju and Sang Jun invited Mr. Sin over.
I'm a bit worried.
I see.
Shouldn't we join in the meeting?
Shall we head over?
Tae Ju said she wanted it to be just the three of them.
She won't tell him to break up with you, will she?
Yesterday, your ex-wife and daughter came over,
went on their knees and wailed,
and my father passed out in shock.
Yes, I heard about that.
I'm so sorry.
You shouldn't be the one to apologize.
My father's on the mend,
but he won't work for a few days.
I don't know what to say.
I'll visit your parents...
and ask for forgiveness.
I don't think...
that's a good idea.
It's obvious my mother-in-law will say...
"Break up with my daughter."
We want to know your position on the issue.
I haven't changed my mind at all.
My ex-wife...
is someone I don't want to see again.
I heard...
your daughter wants her mother to stay.
I told my daughter...
and my ex-wife very clearly.
That we will not live together as a family.
What illness does she have?
I don't know the details,
but I think it's brain related.
If she needs money for treatments, I offered to pay the bills.
I also offered to pay for her funeral.
You even said that?
Yes.
We asked to see you out of concern...
that your ex-wife's appearance was affecting you...
in some way.
That won't happen.
You do not need to worry.
You will marry So Rim, right?
I feel so ashamed to say this,
but I really want to.
If you feel lost and cornered,
get a marriage license first.
- What? - Hey.
It's just a piece of paper, but the moment it's approved,
you feel different.
I can't do that.
- That's a bit... - That's a bit...
to your liking, isn't it?
Gosh. No way.
I can never do that. Don't even mention it.
What did my sister and her husband say?
They suggest we register our marriage first.
What?
Do they think everyone's like them?
I know. I don't think that's right either.
But if that's the only way, then that's what we must do.
What?
I was kidding. Pretend you didn't hear that.
But I did hear it.
I have a wish.
What is it?
I'll grant anything.
Can I call you "Mu Yeong" too?
I got a bit jealous.
Call me like you would a friend.
No, I can't do that.
I miss you, Ms. So Rim.
So do I. I miss you too.
I'm thinking of going for a jog...
by Today's Curry in about 30 minutes.
I need to exercise as well. See you later.
Okay.
Where are you going this late, dressed like that?
I'm going to the convenience store.
You know your dad's sick and you're still...
sneaking out to see that man?
It's not his fault, is it?
You've lost your mind.
Mother! I need you over here!
Help me keep her here.
She's going out to see that man.
You know your dad's sick.
- Don't go. - Stay here.
- Gun Woo! - Grandma!
- Let go. - Gun Woo, Hyun Jung!
- So Rim. - What's going on?
- Stop her. - She's about to go out...
to see that old man.
- Get a hold of yourself. - Grab hold of her.
- This is her business. - Mom!
Yes, Mother. You can't use physical force.
Stop using fancy words and hold her down.
- Grab her. - Hold onto her.
Grab hold of my grandma.
I'm really sorry, Grandma.
- Why are you holding onto me? - Let go, Mom!
What are you doing?
I'm really sorry. I won't be long.
- Grandma. - Mom.
Hey! So Rim!
- Mom, stop it. - Let go of me.
- Let go! - Mom!
(Today's Curry)
I'm here.
(Instructor Kim So Rim)
Ms. So Rim.
Is something wrong?
I'm sorry.
Can we stay like this for a while?
Grandma.
So Rim.
Do you have to date a man whose ex-wife came to see us?
If you care for your dad,
you should get a grip.
There's Nam Soo and a grown daughter,
and an ex-wife who barged in...
whether she's terminal or not.
Isn't that just too much?
Grandma, I have to get to work.
I know your father.
The moment the ex-wife showed up,
your dad must've known that this wasn't right.
It's why he collapsed.
Must you also break your parents' hearts?
I'm off to work, Grandma.
So Rim.
(Gipeun Cosmetics)
Mr. Cho, weren't you relocated to the regional factory?
Actually, I resigned.
I'd rather not work for a company that doesn't value me.
- Did you get home safely? - Of course.
Why are you at your old workplace, then?
What gives you the right?
Me? I was offered a job.
What?
Mr. Cho Nam Soo is now working for Mint Communications.
His performance at Gipeun Cosmetics was quite commendable.
It's not every day you come across an asset like him.
I heard about the issues he had here,
but I also heard that he was framed by his colleagues.
It's ill-mannered...
to bring a former employee to our meeting...
without telling us in advance.
There's a risk of him being a spy.
Since I'm working with Gipeun Cosmetics,
it's wiser for me to have someone on my team...
who knows the company well.
You're absolutely right, Mother.
Gosh, sorry about that. I meant, Director.
I keep slipping up when we're at the office.
Let us start our meeting, then.
By the way,
I'd like you to be understanding if I cut the meeting short...
since I'm dealing with a health issue.
There's something I must sort out first.
Mr. Sin, I appreciate your caring for us.
Let's all sit first.
Mr. Cho, shouldn't you be working at the regional factory?
I was offered a job at Mint.
But I never approved your resignation.
I handed in my letter to HR.
Actually,
you have been fired.
In other words,
we dismissed you from your duties.
Right. I guess the wording is different,
but I'll consider myself fired.
But Director Oh offered me a job and...
I'd like to make a suggestion to Mint Communications.
Sure. Go ahead.
It's more of a notification in a way.
As of this moment,
if Cho Nam Soo is involved...
in any of our joint projects,
we will terminate our contract with Mint.
Mr. Sin.
But Mr. Sin...
What do you say?
Gosh, how scary.
If you terminate our contract,
Gipeun Cosmetics will suffer from the blowback.
We'll pay the penalty...
which we can earn back through our sales.
Besides, our own PR Team has been doing a stellar job.
Signing business contracts isn't a children's game.
What is the meaning of this?
I have given Cho Nam Soo and Mint...
more than enough chances.
Those are my terms of this negotiation.
Dad.
Ms. Sin, we're at the office.
Mr. Sin seems to be furious.
I'm sorry, Ms. Oh. Why don't I explain...
Nam Soo, leave the room.
Sorry?
Didn't you hear me?
He's going to terminate our contract if you're involved.
That's what Mr. Sin said.
Ms. Oh, I'm the one who spearheaded this project...
Leave the room for now.
Ma'am, this is unfair.
I'm ready to devote my life to this project.
I told you to leave!
Gosh.
Right.
Is that better?
There's one more thing.
From what I hear,
your health isn't exactly up to par.
Who will take on the project in case of an emergency?
Don't you worry.
I'll be alive and well...
to see this project through.
Just wait and see.
The globally acclaimed Anthony Thompson...
said that he wanted to shoot a fashion spread with you.
You'll be agreeing to this, right?
Of course. It'll be an honor.
Okay. You'll shoot the fashion spread first...
and then film "Masters of Korea" with Mr. Cha...
while working on a movie.
I already have a few scenarios picked out.
I'll read them. When's the photo shoot?
I should get myself into shape.
Things are working out for us again.
(Photo and Essay)
He texted me late last night saying he'd be clearing his head...
while traveling the country.
I hope you didn't say anything.
I just told him to take care of himself...
and that I'd be there if he needed me.
Good for you.
Getting him back home is our priority.
Right.
So...
Have you heard anything about...
where Young Sik's mother could be?
No.
I heard he had lost touch with her a long time ago.
Why do you ask?
Hello, this is Today's Curry.
You applied for the cooking class.
We're sorry to inform you,
but we'll have to push back the date.
Right. We'll contact you after we reschedule.
Sure thing.
You should text them instead.
No one takes calls from an unknown number these days.
This makes me look like I'm working hard.
Mr. Cha, what's your take on employees...
who only pretend to work hard?
Ms. Lee, you're fired.
From now on, "Ms. Lee, you're fired"...
will sound like "Ms. Lee, I love you" to me.
That's enough.
Go ahead and taste it.
What do you think?
Something isn't right.
We followed Mr. Kim's recipe,
so why does it taste different?
Does the magician's apprentice have an idea?
I can't put my finger on it.
By the way, did Mr. Kim suddenly fall ill?
I'm not sure. Could he be sick from overworking?
I know what's going on.
His daughter So Rim's dating a man, and his ex-wife...
No, I'd rather not gossip.
Something unfortunate happened...
which stressed him out.
That's a new side of you.
Forgive me, So Rim.
What if I can't?
What do you think? That's one assignment down.
I can't give you a high score on it,
- but this will do for now. - Yes!
You should get on with your other assignment.
My other assignment?
Remember how you poured water on Tae Ju?
You're being mean.
You were mean to Tae Ju first.
Pour water on yourself and apologize to Tae Ju.
Forget it.
Finally!
We got rid of the annoying brat.
Maybe we should lock the door.
I like that idea.
Fine, I'll do it.
I don't know when,
but I'll get it done.
The day you do that will be the day you get your stamp of approval.
Gosh. This is one of the weirdest companies,
- but I'll get it done. - Unbelievable.
I'm on my way home from work.
Why don't we meet later outside Today's Curry?
I'd love that.
(Today's Curry)
Why on earth are you here?
Did you come to kneel again?
I came to apologize...
to your parents.
My dad collapsed,
so the restaurant will be closed for the time being.
I'm sorry.
My illness...
has me losing control at times.
Are you actually sick?
Are you actually in love with Mu Yeong?
Yes, I love him.
Fine, and I'll respect that.
Just give me six months with him.
I won't ask for more.
Why are you asking me to be with him...
when he's clearly against it?
Because Mu Yeong...
would probably listen to you.
My illness is real.
Do you know how many pills I take a day?
I don't want to know.
The upcoming spring...
will be my last.
Can't you show mercy...
to a person headed to her grave?
Please leave.
Don't hate me too much.
I'm a pitiful woman who grew up too late...
and is now living in regret.
Hey.
Ms. Oh?
Ms. Oh!
(Patient Report)
(Borderline brain tumor)
Hello? Someone just collapsed.
Are you her guardian?
Ma'am?
Sorry? Oh, right.
How are you related to the patient?
Ma'am, have you come to?
Ma'am, I'd like to order a CT scan.
If you hit your head,
there could be internal bleeding.
I'm fine.
I know how sick I am.
Sorry?
Shouldn't you get more rest?
Did you bring me to the hospital?
Thank you.
I'm going to die anyway,
but you actually showed me kindness.
You should receive treatment. You're obviously sick.
Like I said, it's incurable.
It's why I only asked for six months.
You now believe...
that I'm sick, right?
Help me once more just like you helped me today.
Anyway, I'm grateful.
Are you all right?
Gosh.
Mom!
Mom, are you all right?
I'm good.
Thank you.
- Can you walk? - I'll try.
- I'll take your purse. - Gosh.
Mom!
(Emergency Medical Center)
(Today's Curry)
Ms. So Rim.
What's going on? You weren't answering your phone.
I was worried sick.
I'm relieved now that I've seen your face.
Anyway,
did something happen?
Mr. Mu Yeong.
Yes?
Go ahead.
We should...
break up.
What...
are you saying?
But...
This is out of the blue.
Something happened, right?
Did Oh Hee Eun do something again?
I'm making myself uncomfortable.
I feel bad about hurting my family,
and I don't want to be with you...
if that will only hurt yours as well.
We should break up. It's for the best.
No, I can't end things with you.
I know it's shameless of me to say this,
but I'll sort out...
everything that has happened.
So please...
Believe me this one time.
- Just let me go. - No.
Please!
I enjoyed our time together,
so thank you.
She's as good as a professional player.
You're right. She's a great player.
I'm enjoying the vibe of the set.
I bet you'll look good here.
- Why don't you pose for me? - Sure.
Okay, let's do some test shots.
The photos will turn out great thanks to the great weather.
(Three Bold Siblings)
I'm going to press charges against your cousin.
I broke up with him.
Were you fussing around and cooking to get over your breakup?
Dad's sick because of me,
so of course I should manage the restaurant.
I want to see Ji Hye get married before I die.
I'll speed things up with Nam Soo.
No one said you should marry Nam Soo.
I'd like to see your medical report.
I'd like to hear about Oh Hee Eun's medical condition.
