(Episode 30)
Hi.
You must be sleepy.
Would you like me to sing you a lullaby?
The leaf boat
I left
After playing in the afternoon
Is still in my mind
Even after I lie down
Next to mom
CEO Jung. Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Can you help me to my office?
Are you really okay?
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
It's only mild anemia.
Goodness. Aren't you busy? You better leave.
Let me stay until Jo Yi comes.
I can't leave you in this state.
Gosh. See? I'm really fine.
Mom!
- Gosh. - Oh, dear.
Mom. Are you okay? I heard you nearly fainted.
Gosh, I'm okay.
Thank goodness.
Do you know how scared I was when I got the call?
Gosh. My dear Jo Yi.
The news really shook you, didn't it?
Of course.
My heart almost stopped beating.
I told you to scale back at work and take a rest.
You're the only one I have.
I get dead scared whenever this happens.
What about your medicine? Are you taking them?
Gosh, yes. Don't worry, okay?
You always say that.
Promise me that you won't get sick.
That you won't leave me behind like Dad did.
Hurry.
Okay, I promise.
Stop it. You're not a baby.
I promise, okay?
Goodness.
I didn't know you'd be that shocked.
Jo Yi.
She worried and nagged her mom...
to take her medicines and look after herself.
It made me envious.
You miss your parents dearly, don't you?
I do.
Especially after I meet CEO Jung.
You miss your parents too, right?
I used to miss my mom more when I was little.
But as I grew up, I started missing my dad more.
"Dad must've gone through such hardships during his social life."
"If Dad had been in my shoes, what would he have done?"
Those are what cross my head.
What do you do at those times?
I look through Dad's keepsakes.
It helps me connect with him a bit.
Dad.
I heard you were working for us from now on.
Yes. I'll be dropping by before I go to work...
and during my break in the afternoon.
I won't be here when you come again later,
so just do what you have to do.
Where are you off to again?
Don't beat around the bush.
Don't put it like that.
I'm helping Baek San as his wife by attending the madams' get-together.
It's a book club today.
You should cultivate yourself as well, Mother.
You should use more sophisticated words.
Cultivate, my foot.
Is sleeping with a book open cultivating yourself?
- My gosh. - When did I ever do that?
That's absurd.
Did you settle the past...
with Mr. Ma?
Of course.
From now on, I'm going to serve this family well...
like in the past.
Right. Let's get along as we did.
You've not only aged, but your skills have gotten better.
It's not bad.
Ba Da. You have an unusual way of saying that the food is delicious.
Rude wench.
Ba Da.
You didn't forget about your blind date on the weekend, right?
I told you that I'd choose who I'd marry.
How dare you talk back to your father like that?
I don't usually take your father's side,
but you should go on the blind date. No arguments.
You too? Why are you being like that?
I told you that I'd decide on my own.
Decide on your own? What are you talking about?
If you're that smart,
how did you mess up the new product development?
That was all because of you and Grandma.
If only you and Grandpa had voted for me, I would've won.
Since we're on the topic, tell me.
Why did you run away that day?
Is it such a big deal that CEO Jung looks like Seo Yoon Hee? Why?
Oh, my.
Stop it.
If you want to blame something, blame your incompetence.
Father.
Don't you dare cancel your blind date.
This is your last chance.
I have someone I love.
- What? - What?
What?
Mr. Yoon.
I'm going to marry San Deul.
Ba Da. Are you still not fully awake?
What nonsense is that?
You stay out of it, Soon Young. This doesn't concern you.
Have you been dating Mr. Yoon all along?
Things just turned out that way.
You'll let me marry him, right?
Doesn't Baek San also like San Deul a lot?
I'm not totally satisfied, but San Deul isn't bad.
- No! - What?
You cannot marry him.
Why? What's wrong with him?
He's smart and capable.
If I say no, it means no.
Father.
What's wrong with him?
I don't think San Deul would be a bad partner for Ba Da.
Could it be because San Deul...
doesn't have parents?
That's even better.
She won't have in-laws.
That must be nice.
What did you say?
Oh, my. Why is it San Deul of all people?
It doesn't matter if you don't approve.
I'm not going to marry anyone else but San Deul.
Then pack your bags and move out.
Also, give up your job at our company.
I thought you'd be happy about San Deul.
You recognize his capabilities more than anyone.
You supported him since he was a kid.
You always liked him. You said he was better than your own kids.
Why do you just keep saying no?
I only supported him because of Tae Poong.
Tae Poong stayed out of trouble when he was with San Deul.
Also, I let him into our company because I needed his brains.
That's all.
I don't need him as an in-law.
- San Deul is more than enough to be... - Quiet.
Unless you want to be kicked out of this house,
go on the blind date and prepare yourself for marriage.
Father. I can't marry anyone else but San Deul!
I already talked to them, so you can go ahead and process this.
Hello, Chairman Kang.
Hi.
Ba Da said she wanted...
to marry you.
What do you think?
Be honest.
I was meaning to talk to you about it.
I'm dating Ms. Eun.
Ms. Eun?
Yes, sir.
The person I love is Ms. Eun.
We promised each other to get married.
He wants to marry someone else.
What are you doing hanging on to him?
That's why I'm asking you to help me.
I can't let that good-for-nothing girl take San Deul from me.
You're the one who's good for nothing.
Father.
From the mask to the color makeup. What have you done well?
You aren't half as good as her.
Now you're pining after her man?
Gosh. You're pathetic.
That's why she beats you at work and at love.
Beat me?
You wait and see.
I'm going to make San Deul mine.
(Chairman Kang Baek San)
That pathetic girl.
Gosh. These useless things.
You want to go public?
I told Chairman Kang already.
Let's go public.
I'm tired of dating in secret.
Are you sure we're not rushing this?
Trust me. Just follow my lead.
So you weren't developing a hand cream?
You were dating?
We didn't mean to lie to you.
We kept it a secret because we didn't want to affect work.
We ask for your understanding...
and blessing.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Mr. Yoon is cooler the more I see him.
I would've given up my precious weekends for him.
I'm only giving him up because it's you.
Of course, I know that,
you generous, two-timing best friend.
If you know it, hurry up and marry him.
When is he going to propose?
What are you doing?
You stay out of it.
Let go of me.
What are you doing?
Gosh, that rude little girl.
What is she going to do now?
Gosh. Seo Yeon...
- What's wrong? - Seo Yeon...
Ms. Kang...
What do I do?
What in the world are you doing?
How dare you get in between me and San Deul?
What did you say?
San Deul and I have known each other for 20 years.
He's the only one I loved for all of those years.
How dare you good-for-nothing try to take him from me?
What's with that face?
Didn't you know?
Did he not talk to you about me?
See.
You and San Deul aren't close enough.
You can't even talk about personal things.
It's just a shallow, casual relationship.
Do you really think someone like you...
can win over our 20 years together?
Give up while I'm being nice.
Get away from San Deul.
I understand how you feel,
but this won't change our relationship.
Our relationship?
Don't be ridiculous.
I know girls like you.
They try to marry a good man to improve their social status.
They're nothing but trash!
Girls like you don't belong here. You should be thrown in an incinerator.
Watch your mouth!
Your greed and obsession...
should be thrown away, not me.
Greed? Obsession?
What do you know? Don't run your mouth!
Why do you keep pushing yourself down a bad path?
Why don't you see that you're hurting yourself the most?
Shut your mouth!
Don't act like you know everything.
Listen carefully.
You're the only one who'll get hurt.
I'm going to make San Deul mine, even if that means I have to kill him.
It won't work out the way you want.
I'm going to protect my man.
If you even touch one hair on his head,
I'm not going to just stand by and watch.
Eun Seo Yeon!
That's really...
like Kang Ba Ram.
She's the new member, right?
- She's so pretty. - Oh, CEO Jung.
- It's been such a long time. - I apologize.
- How are you always so beautiful? - Not at all.
Tell us your secret.
What dermatologist do you go to?
- Really. Tell us. - Really.
- Tell us. - Tell us.
- I'm so curious. - Gosh. How beautiful.
- Get out now. - Oh, my.
- This isn't the place for you. - Oh, my goodness.
- What's wrong with her? - What?
- That's so mean. - Why is she saying that?
Why would you say such a thing?
Why do I have to do that?
Do you really not know?
Do you want me to tell you?
I'm fed up with your mug.
- It's a mug of a ghost. - My goodness.
What are you saying?
- That was harsh. - What is wrong with her?
Do you detest that I look similar to Ms. Seo Yoon Hee?
Was that why you ran away...
for your life that day?
Run away?
I only left to avoid...
that mucky face of yours that gave me the chills.
Oh, my gosh.
Now that I think about it, I feel sorry for you.
Why did you have to resemble her out of everyone? Gosh.
What was that?
Do you know how evil she was?
As if her life wasn't enough,
that witch killed both her husband and child.
- Oh, my goodness. - What a woman.
Well, not like you're any different,
outliving your husband.
A face like yours must have such a fate.
Look here.
You've got such a foul heart to say such rude things.
I know, right?
What did you say?
You shouldn't feel sorry for Ms. Seo or me, who resembles her.
You should feel sorry...
for your husband living with a foul-hearted woman.
What?
Please excuse me first.
- Bye. - Oh, no.
- Please don't go. - Hold on, CEO Jung.
Hey. Stop right there!
- Oh, my gosh. - She's unbelievable.
What is wrong with you?
- What an absurd woman. - Dear, I'm shocked.
- Gosh. - She's crazy.
Listen. I couldn't tell you earlier.
Congratulations.
You and San Deul make a great couple.
Thank you for congratulating us.
Tell me if San Deul ever upsets you.
Tell you?
Why?
Because I will never forgive whoever hurts you.
How many times must I tell you?
You're my boss.
"Your success is mine too?"
You have a good memory.
A happy romantic relationship will put your heart at ease.
Only then will you do your job well.
So call me the instant San Deul disobeys you.
Understand?
I doubt such a thing will happen.
Mr. Yoon is the warmest person...
I have met in my life.
Is that so?
Gosh. So I was the bad guy for not trusting my dear friend.
That was not what I meant.
Whatever.
Anyway, enjoy your life together was my message.
Hey.
Thank you for worrying about me.
But rather than me and Mr. Yoon,
look after your sister more.
It seemed Ms. Kang...
had feelings for Mr. Yoon for a long time.
So the news of my relationship with Mr. Yoon...
would have hurt her.
Are you a fool or just too kind?
Stop thinking about others.
Why do you care about your love rival who's after your man?
Still, Ms. Kang is your younger sister.
That is the very reason I'm telling you so.
I know what she's like.
Kang Ba Da is a lot scarier and spiteful than you think.
You never know what she'll do.
Stay wide awake.
I will take care of my business. There's no need to worry.
I'm going home.
Is she banning me from worrying about her?
I heard Ba Da had feelings for you.
Why didn't you tell me?
Ba Da is nothing to me.
I didn't want you to be concerned about useless things.
Even so, you should've told me ahead of time.
It was weird keeping it from me.
Sorry.
I know you have it tough right now.
I should've been more thoughtful.
This won't happen again.
Don't worry about Ba Da.
But you should when it comes to Ba Da.
Come on. She's beyond nasty, isn't she?
I'm sure you don't know this,
but Ba Ram had it really rough...
because of Ba Da when they were young.
She had taken Ba Ram's everything from toys to clothes.
If she couldn't, she had torn them apart or burnt them.
She was unimaginable.
Gosh. Really. What a wicked person.
Someone like her will not back down easily.
I told Chairman Kang about us.
Ba Da will sort her feelings out now.
What we have will not change.
I know how you feel.
But you wanted us to talk about anything and everything.
So tell me what's going on with you too. Don't hide it from me.
Okay, I will.
Give me a second.
(CEO Jung Mo Yeon)
CEO Jung. Are you feeling better?
Oh, my gosh.
You went through such a thing at that young age?
Yes.
Back then, what shocked me more was the love that suddenly changed...
into hatred rather than the abuse...
from who was once my mother.
I was only 11 years old.
How could she have done that simply because...
you weren't her real daughter?
Being thrown out into the world alone...
at such a young age must have been hard on you.
I tried comforting myself,
but it was difficult.
Difficult to the point...
I couldn't dare say "Mom" since that day.
But what I couldn't bear the most was the fact that...
I had only recently found out...
who my real parents were.
Every year on my birthday,
we held a memorial service for them.
But even with their photos in front of me,
I had no idea who they were.
Without realizing that my parents had passed away...
the day I was born,
I laughed, sang,
and blew out the birthday candles.
Seo Yeon.
You told me I looked a lot like your mother, right?
Yes, I did.
Then...
how about thinking of me as your mother...
who has come down from above for a few days?
The things you wanted to do with your mother.
I'll do them with you.
CEO Jung.
Out of things you wanted to do with her,
let's have a meal, drink tea,
and buy flowers today.
Okay?
Thank you, CEO Jung.
Oh, the food's turning cold. Let's dig in.
Okay.
Do you like balloon flower roots?
You too, CEO Jung?
It's my favorite dish.
Jo Yi hates the scent and refuses to eat them.
Why do you like balloon flower roots?
I came to like them because of the flower.
Not only is the purple flower pretty,
but it also means eternal love.
I adore balloon flowers too.
We have a lot in common, don't we?
This must be fate.
Yes. I totally agree.
Go ahead and dig in.
Hi.
Please choose the flowers you like.
Then allow me to pick just one.
I'd like this one, please.
Isn't it lisianthus?
This flower...
also means unchanging love.
That's right.
It's harder to get it to bloom than other flowers.
It takes about half a year for it to bloom.
Also, if the environment isn't right,
it wilts without ever blooming.
It's a common, but also a rare flower.
A rare flower. That reminds me of something.
Do you know about the Japanese rowan flower, Ms. Eun?
Japanese rowan?
When I ran into Chairman Kang at the flower market,
he asked me about the Japanese rowan.
He said it was a very rare flower.
Do you know about that flower as well?
No. I don't know much about it.
I see.
That must be a very rare flower...
if you don't know about it. Right?
Japanese rowan?
Chairman Kang is looking for the Japanese rowan?
Japanese rowan.
I feel like I've heard of it before.
Where did I see it?
If Chairman Kang is looking for it,
there must be a reason.
Let's get some sleep. Please?
I thought you'd stop being a workaholic...
once you started dating Mr. Yoon.
Look at you go again.
Right. San Deul's letter.
(From Jin Il Seok, To Yoon Jae Ha)
This is the letter you were talking about, right?
Yes. Thank you.
Jae Ha. Are you doing well?
How is San Deul doing?
I think we're almost done developing the Japanese rowan.
As long as we can do that,
things will get better for our company and Byeolha-ri.
I knew it. It was a flower that my father mentioned.
- Flower? - Yes.
Chairman Kang is looking for a flower called the Japanese rowan.
I think my father developed cosmetics with that flower.
Why is Chairman Kang still looking for it?
They were co-founders. They would've developed it together.
This letter was written in September 1992.
My father died two months after sending this letter,
and Chairman Kang is still looking for information on the Japanese rowan...
when they supposedly finished developing it already.
I think I have to look into the Japanese rowan.
The Japanese rowan?
How do you...
know about the Japanese rowan?
(Vengeance of the Bride)
I think the project was stopped after your father passed away.
It seemed like important research. Why did they stop it suddenly?
I think development team two is starting a new research project,
but it seems like Chairman Kang won't let them.
How dare you ignore Chairman Kang's words?
Does the Japanese rowan also have a meaning?
It means a flower that only blooms for one day on the promised land.
Are you okay?
