(Episode 40)
(Chairman Lee Young Guk)
Yes?
I was able to track down...
Ms. Park Dan Dan's birth mother as requested.
Really?
Her birth mother's name...
is Kim Ji Young.
Kim...
Ji Young?
According to the file the hospital had,
the name Kim Ji Young was listed as the birth mother.
I then searched for Ms. Kim's whereabouts...
and found out that she went to the US...
only three months after giving birth.
She then fell off the grid.
Should I look into it more?
My mom...
left me when I wasn't even 100 days old.
She abandoned me.
Ms. Park...
I don't wish to find the woman...
who deserted me.
So Mr. Lee,
please put an end to any search you have going on.
No. This is good enough.
Thank you.
Kim Ji Young?
The US?
It can't be Anna, can it?
What am I thinking now?
Kim Ji Young is a common name.
My mom...
must've been such a bad person that I'm not supposed to meet her.
But Mr. Lee.
Even if my mom...
is a bad person that everyone in the world mocks,
I want to find her.
Even if it's just from behind,
I want to see her.
Hello?
Try to track down the whereabouts of Kim Ji Young,
Park Dan Dan's birth mother, as soon as possible.
Yes, please.
About Dan Dan...
She'll be moving out of that house this weekend.
So make sure to get things done...
before Dan Dan changes her mind.
As soon as possible.
Okay.
I'll find a ticket that leaves next week.
Then can I see Dan Dan again now?
Yes.
Mark my words though.
Sure. I'll never let her find out.
I'll be really careful.
I'll make sure she never finds out that I'm her mom.
I promise.
My gosh. Those two are seeing each other again.
All right. I should leave some evidence.
I'm sure there's something going on between those two.
(Brothers Jokbal)
Hey, Yong Pil.
You punk.
Where have you been without sweeping the alley?
You should take a look at this.
Mr. Park is a big disappointment.
He was meeting with that lady again.
Oh, dear. It is Mr. Park.
Yong Pil, just look at these two.
It looks like they're having an affair, doesn't it?
Mr. Ma.
What are you talking about? Are you talking about my husband?
Goodness. It's Ms. Kim and my husband.
Well... About that lady.
Are you acquainted with her?
Yes, I am. I know her well.
But did I hear you say they're having an affair?
What? My goodness. That's not true.
He was just talking nonsense.
It's not nonsense.
There seems to be something fishy going on.
Mr. Ma, where is this place?
There's a cafe next to the veterinary clinic...
My goodness. You clueless punk.
I think I should call Mr. Park and give him a heads up.
Hey, Yong Pil.
You shouldn't do this for social justice.
You silly.
What if we end up breaking up a family?
That's not our fault.
It's Mr. Park's fault for having an affair.
What?
So it's true that they were together.
Yeon Sil.
Why were you staring at her so fondly?
Have you been seeing her without telling me?
Are you having an affair with Anna Kim?
What are you talking about?
Then why else would you see her?
You're not going to the States.
I met her to talk about Dan Dan.
About Dan Dan? What about her?
Let's not do this on the street. We should go home and talk.
What?
Dan Dan is going to the US with Ms. Kim next week?
Yes.
So I met with Ms. Kim to discuss the matter.
Then you should've told me so.
Why did you not tell me when my daughter is leaving next week?
Do you even consider me your wife?
It was decided at the last minute.
I was going to tell you once things were settled.
By the way, what's all the rush?
I mean, this is so sudden.
It's not like she's going to Jeju Island.
If Dan Dan stays here, she won't be able to get over Chairman Lee.
And I heard Ms. Kim would go back to the US.
So I met her and asked for a favor.
So, Dad, did Dan Dan say she would go?
Yes, she did.
She said she would never break up with Chairman Lee.
And now she's willing to leave?
I told her to go.
I told her to spend three years...
studying and working in America.
If she still can't bring herself to move on,
I said I will reconsider her relationship with him.
So that's why...
I'm grateful to Chairman Lee anyway.
That he readily agreed to let her go.
I know.
How could you say something so silly, Yeon Sil?
Who do you think Soo Chul is?
What? An affair?
You silly thing.
Soo Chul would never cheat on you.
If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea.
Mr. Ma Dong Pil from the jokbal place told me something strange.
Mr. Ma from the jokbal place? How terrible of him.
He's just silly and reckless.
His older brother seems like a decent guy.
If you want to break up with Soo Chul,
you should go live with Mr. Ma Dong Pil instead.
Mom!
Dan Dan must be busy getting ready to move abroad.
- Why isn't she coming home yet? - Right.
She hasn't been able to tell the kids yet.
She will move out as soon as she's done talking to the kids.
They seem to like Dan Dan a lot.
She must be sad to leave them behind.
I just can't bring myself...
to tell the kids that I'm quitting.
Can we wait...
until you find my replacement?
I'll talk to the kids.
I think I should be the one to tell them, not you.
Okay. I get it.
Se Chan.
Se Jong.
Ms. Park and I...
decided to break up.
So Ms. Park is going to quit.
You can't ask her to stay this time, okay?
Because she's going to the US with Anna next week.
We should let her go so she can have a better future, okay?
I'll tell Jae Ni about this later.
She doesn't know about me and Ms. Park.
So I'll just tell her that Ms. Park is quitting.
Do you know what I mean?
You and Ms. Park are breaking up...
because Mr. Park disapproves of you, right?
This is ridiculous.
Se Chan.
No one can live alone.
Se Chan, you also live with me,
your sister, and Se Jong.
Ms. Park also has a loving family.
A family is the greatest safety net anyone can have.
So if your family disapproves of something,
even if it's something you love, you can't just go against their wishes.
Se Chan and Se Jong, I know how much you love Ms. Park.
I'm so sorry that I have to tell you this.
Why are you sorry?
This isn't your fault.
This is what Ms. Park said the other day.
Those who meet eventually say goodbye.
That's how it works.
Dad, it's not your fault. It's okay.
Yes?
Se Chan. Se Jong.
Ms. Park.
Dad just told us everything.
He told us you're leaving us.
Ms. Park. Are you really going to the US?
Se Chan. Se Jong.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Don't be.
We're still young, but we understood what Dad said.
So you don't have to be sorry.
Ms. Park, be happy in America.
Thank you, Se Chan, Se Jong.
Ms. Park...
Se Chan. Se Jong.
I will come back in three years.
Until then, stay healthy and happy.
Are you quitting?
Is that why you're packing?
Jae Ni, let me explain.
How can you quit just like that?
I didn't know you were this irresponsible.
I'm so disappointed!
Jae Ni.
Can we talk?
I don't want to talk to you.
Jae Ni.
I was given the chance to go to the US with Ms. Kim.
That's why I'm quitting.
I made the decision in a hurry and had no time to tell you.
I'm really sorry, Jae Ni.
You said you'd stay until March.
How can you break that promise?
I don't want to see your face. Get out of my room!
Don't act like this when you don't know what's going on!
Ms. Park likes us so much!
Wouldn't there be a reason she's suddenly doing this?
A reason? What reason could there be?
Well, there is a reason!
So don't upset Ms. Park any further!
Just tell me already.
Se Chan. Don't do it.
Ms. Park. Tell me.
What's the reason?
No, Jae Ni.
My plans were just brought forward.
I'm really sorry, Jae Ni. I really am.
What is wrong with you?
Even if you can't make Ms. Park happy,
at least don't make her sad!
How do you think she feels, having to leave us?
Yes?
Jae Ni.
Ms. Park.
You must have a good enough reason for doing this.
I'm sorry for being a brat.
It wasn't because I hated you.
I don't want to say goodbye,
and you're leaving so suddenly and so soon.
I yelled because I felt so sad.
I guess I'm even less mature than Se Chan and Se Jong.
I'm so sorry, Ms. Park.
No, Jae Ni. I should apologize.
Look after Se Chan and Se Jong,
and take good care of yourself as well.
I trust in you, Jae Ni.
- Ms. Park. - Ms. Park.
Ms. Park.
Ms. Park...
Yes?
My gosh. What are you doing in my room?
Ms. Wang, thank you for everything so far.
I'll stay until the end of the week and then I'll quit.
My goodness.
You're resigning? Is that true?
Yes. I'm going to the US next week.
The US?
Why there, all of a sudden?
Is Young Guk paying for whatever this is?
No.
I got a job at Ms. Kim's company,
so I'm leaving with her.
Oh, Ms. Kim...
Then...
what about you and Young Guk?
Is it over? Did you break up?
Yes.
My gosh. That's really... Good for you!
I'm glad you did.
You and Young Guk are a poor match.
You did the right thing.
This is right and just.
You're young and smart and got the message right away.
You'll do great in the States with that brain of yours.
Go and achieve the American dream.
Meet someone your age,
get married, and have kids.
Then I'll be going now.
Okay. Go ahead.
I feel like something inside of me has just been unblocked.
I feel so much better.
My goodness...
What's this, Ms. Park?
Is it a farewell gift?
Thank you so much for helping me...
and being on my side and looking out for me.
Thank you.
I liked having you to rely on.
I'm sad you're leaving.
How did you end up planning to move to the US so suddenly?
Who are you going with?
I found a job at Ms. Kim's company,
so I'm leaving with her next week.
Oh, really? That's great.
Ms. Kim is a really nice person.
Yes. She really is.
She cares for me like I'm her daughter.
I bet she cares for you even more because she doesn't have a family.
The helper I took over from told me that...
Ms. Kim moved to the US on her own when she was young...
and struggled before she became successful.
Then she almost died in a car crash.
Her face was badly hurt,
and she got over ten reconstructive surgeries.
Reconstructive surgery?
Really?
You saw it too.
When the chairman became 22,
he didn't recognize Ms. Kim and yelled at her to leave.
Oh, so that's why.
I found it strange at the time.
I didn't know what the circumstances were.
Still, isn't it great that she made it?
Ms. Park.
Moving to the US with Ms. Kim...
might be better for you if you consider your bright future.
You made the right decision.
Ms. Park.
It depends on how you think.
Forget what happened here...
and be happy in the US.
I will.
Thank you.
What?
You want to go on a farewell trip?
We gave Ms. Park such a hard time.
We can't let her go like this.
Tomorrow is Friday.
We can all go to the vacation home,
go fishing, play games,
and say goodbye over a barbecue.
I'm not so sure.
Dad. You need to say yes...
so Ms. Park can join us without feeling bad.
Dad, we want to make some final memories with Ms. Park.
Dad, please. Say yes.
All right, fine. We'll go on a farewell trip.
- Nice. - Yes!
You agreed, right?
Then we'll ask Ms. Park.
Sure.
- Nice. - It's going to be fun.
Really? Your dad agreed to it?
- Yes. - Yes!
We can't possibly say goodbye just like this.
- Exactly. - She's right.
Please?
Sure thing.
We'll go on this trip.
We'll play games, eat delicious meals,
and take lots of photos.
It will be a blast.
- Yes! - Nice!
It sounds like fun.
What? An affair?
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
Who do they take us for?
I don't care if they are our landlords.
It doesn't give them the right to accuse Soo Chul of infidelity.
I won't let this slide.
(Brothers Jokbal)
Mr. Ma, how could you?
Are you talking to me? What is this about?
Two people having coffee isn't grounds for an affair.
You shouldn't have such a biased view.
It takes one to know one, I guess.
No wonder this society is only getting murkier.
You lost me from the very beginning.
The lady whom Soo Chul was having coffee with yesterday...
runs a large company in the States.
My husband only met her to talk about...
our daughter going to the States with her,
but you called that an affair.
You've got to be kidding me.
I almost bit my husband's head off because of what you said.
You don't know the half of it.
They may only have had coffee yesterday,
but I once saw them with their arms linked.
What? With their arms linked?
Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.
I'm an honest man who does things by the book...
even when boiling jokbal.
I would never make anything up.
Goodness. Take care, Ms. Cha.
Dong Pil, what's with Dae Bum's mom today?
Don't you know?
Ms. Park took the job offer and agreed to go to the US with me.
I was wondering if Mr. Park Soo Chul...
could join us as well.
Accommodations and a car will be provided by the company...
and I'm considering...
at least 100,000 dollars as an annual salary.
I'll up my offer to an annual salary of 200,000 dollars.
I'd appreciate it if you could talk him into this.
Just look at these two.
It looks like they're having an affair, doesn't it?
Mr. Ma.
What are you talking about? Are you talking about my husband?
Goodness. It's Ms. Kim and my husband.
They may only have had coffee yesterday,
but I once saw them with their arms linked.
It's why she wanted Soo Chul to come with her to the US.
Without realizing what was going on,
I almost sent Soo Chul to her in exchange for money.
That minx. Darn wench!
Open up.
Open the door!
She's... Why on earth is she here?
My gosh.
- What brings you by? - You.
What were you hoping for...
when you offered my husband an annual salary...
of 100,000 dollars and then 200,000?
That's...
Why did you offer all that money...
just to get my husband to leave with you?
You have feelings for him, don't you?
Who are you to link arms with him?
How dare you crawl into his life like this?
There must be a terrible misunderstanding.
We only met briefly to discuss your daughter's job offer in the US.
That's all there was to it.
He only offered me his arm...
because I wasn't feeling well at the time.
He was kind enough to help me stay upright...
Unbelievable.
Then it's true that you linked arms with him.
Who are you to receive a helping hand from him?
I was feeling under the weather that day.
- That's why... - You were sick?
Did you perhaps receive surgery for a tumor?
How did you know that?
Unbelievable.
So you were the reason.
He left us to take care of the restaurant on our own...
so that he could help you get admitted at the hospital...
and then spend the night nursing you.
Did you call my husband to your sickbed...
so that he could nurse you back to health?
You darn wench.
What have you been doing to my husband?
Answer me, you wench!
You... Get over here!
You darn wench.
(New frying oil every day for only 60 chickens!)
Mr. Park.
- Hello, Mr. Ma. - I'm afraid I have bad news.
What is this about?
My foolish brother...
said the wrong thing to your wife.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I think that she went to find...
the woman you had coffee with yesterday.
It could be bad. Get over there, quick.
What did you just say?
Was this my wife's doing?
What's with your wife?
What did she hear and from whom?
Did you tell her about us? Is that it?
Why would I say such a thing?
Someone we know happened to have seen us.
Don't tell me...
you told her any of the details.
I told her about how you helped me through my surgery,
but nothing about what worries you.
All that I mentioned was Dan Dan's job offer.
So you can leave now.
Don't worry about me and go.
What? Dan Dan is going to the US?
Yes, she leaves next week.
My goodness. Next week?
Mi Rim, why would you only tell me this now?
We only found out yesterday.
This is because of Chairman Lee, isn't it?
It's to get them away from each other.
Yes, I think that's why she is leaving so suddenly.
I understand where Soo Chul is coming from,
but how could he send Dan Dan all the way to the US?
Now I'm just as confused. Things are complicated.
Did Dan Dan agree to go?
Yes, she'll be working at Ms. Anna Kim's company.
Well, I guess we can only thank Ms. Kim...
for her generosity.
Mom.
What on earth? What is this?
Doughnuts. This shop is trending these days.
I bought them with my own money.
The money I earned working part-time.
Anyway, take a bite.
Ms. Kang, you too.
What is this smell?
Did you put on a pain relief patch?
Oh, that. I've been working at the fish market, you see.
The muscle pain is real.
Unbelievable. Are you kidding me?
I never asked you to buy me doughnuts...
with the money you earned working at a fish market.
How long will you keep this up?
My son, Jun O, just go back to school.
Mom, please.
I've been happy these days, so don't rain on my parade.
Besides, I keep wanting to buy you things...
now that I'm making money.
I know you secretly love it too.
As if. I hate you. So just go back home.
I will if you ask me to.
Anyway, these taste great especially with coffee.
Ms. Kang, please enjoy them with her.
- Go. - Mom, I love you.
That darn brat.
What has gotten into him lately?
I wonder what could be so delicious?
What am I going to do with him?
Take a look. My goodness.
Hey. When did you get here?
What is this?
Ta-da.
Isn't it obvious? I got you something.
It's Valentine's Day soon.
We agreed to go to the amusement park,
but we can't since you have to work.
I thought this could make up for it.
It's so pretty.
Do you like it?
Of course.
I've never received a gift like this before.
It's amazing!
Do you like it that much?
Yes. I don't need to go to the amusement park.
This is more than enough.
I'm happy to know that you love it.
All the muscle pain was worth it.
- Jun O. - Yes?
Thank you.
There's no need to thank me. Do this side too.
- Jun O. - Yes?
My feelings for you grow every day.
Really?
Me too!
Seriously? Come here.
Gosh, that feels nice.
Thanks.
- Go! - One, two, three.
Go!
Seven, eight, nine...
What on earth?
Good job, guys.
No!
- And go. - Go!
- Ms. Park! - Go, Se Chan!
Here I go!
Se Chan's going to win.
You're the best.
Se Chan, you cheated!
- Go after him. Dad! - Dad!
Are you ganging up on me?
Attack him!
Look at Dad.
(See you again!)
Ms. Park, see you again.
Ms. Park, good luck.
(Ms. Park, good luck.)
Ms. Park, get yourself a great boyfriend.
(Ms. Park, get yourself a great boyfriend. Jae Ni)
- Bye. - Bye.
- It's so pretty. - Bye.
- Farewell, kite. - Bye.
- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
I will make it back.
We'll then be together again.
Ms. Park, be happy.
You had an affair, didn't you?
How far did it go? Did you sleep with her?
Tell me how far it went. Tell me!
Tell me what you two did!
I'll kill you both!
No, don't.
Groundless accusations will only make me seem crazy.
What I need is proof.
I know there is something going on between them.
Thank you for everything.
Jae Ni, Se Chan, and Se Jong.
Thank you so much.
Always be healthy and don't get sick.
I'll take her luggage and see her off.
Come on.
Who made her the first lady?
The whole freaking family came out to see her...
Unbelievable.
Bye.
Ms. Park.
Ms. Park...
Talk about a feast.
- Dan Dan. - She's here.
- Dan Dan's here. - Hey, you're here.
- Dan Dan, get in here. - Dan Dan.
- Grandma. - Why is everyone here?
Jun O is here as well.
Hi, Dan Dan.
We've all been waiting for you to come home.
I hear you're heading to the US next week.
Yes.
That's right. We all wanted to spend some time with you.
So everyone got together to have dinner with you.
- Come have a seat. - Have a seat.
Sit here, Dan Dan.
Dan Dan, I cooked bulgogi, your favorite.
- Right. - It looks great.
Dan Dan, I'm jealous.
Once you settle down there, you should invite me over.
- Hey, invite me too. - And me.
Okay.
- Let's eat then. It's getting cold. - Okay.
- Let's eat. - It looks delicious.
- Mom, go ahead and eat. - All right. Let's eat.
Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
- My gosh. - This is so good.
Here, Dan Dan.
What? Ms. Park moved out?
Yes.
She broke up with Young Guk and quit her job here.
I heard she was going to the US with Anna Kim.
She's going to the US with Ms. Kim?
Yes.
Mr. Park was strongly against her relationship with Young Guk.
I thought Ms. Park's family plotted the whole thing...
to seduce Young Guk and take his money.
But Mr. Park disapproved of him so strongly.
I guess I must've been mistaken.
I see.
That annoying vixen, Ms. Park, is gone now.
It would be really nice if Young Guk turned his eye...
to you at a time like this.
He's so cold-hearted.
(Flower delivery)
Hey, Sa Ra.
Are you trying to get back together with the chairman here?
What is this car? Did you open a flower shop?
(Flower delivery)
Sa Ra, we need to talk.
If you keep harassing me like this,
I'll call the police.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I apologize.
Sa Ra.
I deeply regret...
breaking up with you.
Sa Ra.
Where's our son?
You gave birth to my son.
You, me, and our son.
Let's start over.
What?
What nonsense are you talking about?
Do you seriously have a death wish?
Get out.
- Get out of here, you punk. - Hey.
Get out this instant.
My gosh!
Sa Ra, I'll talk to you later.
- Oh, no. Mister. - He's here again.
I'm sorry.
What was he threatening you with this time?
I told you to call me if he ever showed up again.
My gosh.
Got it? You have to call me.
Answer me now.
Why are you doing this to me? Stop being so nice to me.
You're even more annoying than him.
Mi Sook.
- Hey. - What?
- Gosh, it's pajeon. - Ta-da.
Goodness. I was getting hungry.
How did you know?
I know you like pajeon.
- Try some. - My gosh. It looks good.
Do you like it?
Hey, you look a lot better these days.
You said you could hardly sleep.
Did you get over your insomnia?
Yes.
I'm glad to hear that.
For people of our age, sleep is the best medicine.
If you don't sleep well,
you'll end up with all kinds of diseases.
Right. Hey, try it with the sauce.
Next, we have a heartwarming piece of news.
Last January, Sujung Orphanage...
received 500,000 dollars...
from an anonymous donor, and it became the talk of the town.
Sujung Orphanage is now...
looking for the donor...
to express their gratitude.
The donor is believed to be a female in her 50s.
She left a bag...
- filled with 50-dollar bills... - My gosh, 500,000 dollars?
And disappeared in a hurry.
And the bag had a message in it...
saying that she hopes the money will be used for children.
That's the orphanage where I donated money to.
Does that mean they are looking for me now?
They say they want to thank her for her help.
Hey, what's wrong?
Nothing.
I just choked.
That woman who donated money to the orphanage...
I don't know who she is, but I really admire her.
I mean, it's not 5,000 or 50,000 dollars.
It's a whopping 500,000 dollars.
I'm sure she will be blessed with good luck.
Gosh, Ki Ja.
Why are you breaking out in a cold sweat?
You look really awful.
You should go to a hospital and get a full medical examination.
My goodness.
Is there something bothering you?
What?
All right. I will do that.
Look. What do you think?
Aren't these pretty?
They look amazing.
Which one do you like?
I just can't pick one.
- Do you want to try these on? - Sure.
My gosh. This is pretty.
Ms. Park, I think it will look great on you.
Ms. Kim, you bought me so much already.
I think that's enough.
You are my employee now.
This is something I can do for my employee.
But still...
Just consider it a uniform.
Come on. Let's go in.
Yes, it's me.
Now?
What's the matter?
Okay.
I'll be out for a while.
Where are you going?
I need to meet someone nearby.
Okay.
Mom, I'll be back soon.
You can't all leave like that. I can't do all this by myself.
- I'm here. - You can stay with Dae Bum.
What's with Mom?
I have no idea.
- Oh, dear. Excuse me. - Sorry.
What? Where did he go?
My goodness.
What's the matter?
I just went shopping with Dan Dan.
We hung out and spent some time together.
It seems like Dan Dan is over Young Guk.
She's determined to go to the US.
That's good.
I'm so relieved. Everything is ready now.
We have the tickets. All we need to do is leave.
I'm glad to hear that.
You could've told me that on the phone.
I know.
I have...
something to give you.
Please accept this, Soo Chul.
What is this?
I'm sorry for everything.
And I want to thank you for what you've done.
Let's say I'm paying for years of child support for Dan Dan.
Or you can consider it alimony.
I'm grateful that you are letting me leave with Dan Dan.
What?
Do you think I'm sending Dan Dan to make you happy?
Don't be mistaken.
I told you...
never to tell her you're her mom.
Child support?
To Dan Dan, you're just Ms. Kim.
Do you get that?
"Dan Dan's mom?"
What did I just hear?
Is this woman Dan Dan's mom?
Anna Kim is her mom?
No way.
Were you meeting up like this behind my back all this time?
You deceived me?
How could you do this?
It's not that, honey. Will you...
Let's talk outside.
This woman is Dan Dan's mom?
Is that why you almost ended up...
going to the US with her?
How could you do this to me?
Let's talk outside.
Let go of me.
- Let go! - Honey.
Let me go.
I said let go!
Come with me.
Let go. I told you to let go!
How could you of all people do this to me?
Honey. Calm down and hear me out.
It's not what you think.
That woman is Dan Dan's mom!
Yes, she is. That's true.
So what?
Were you going to take Dan Dan and move to the US...
so the three of you could live happily together?
How could you do this to me?
Do you think I'm crazy or something?
You know how much I despise that woman.
You still almost moved with her!
I didn't know who she was then!
At first, I didn't know she was Dan Dan's mom!
What?
What are you saying?
Think carefully.
That woman doesn't have the face Dan Dan's mom once did.
Dan Dan's mom's face?
You're right.
She doesn't look like the woman I saw 27 years ago.
What happened?
She was in a car crash ten years ago...
and she had over ten surgeries to fix her face.
I didn't recognize her at first.
Then I found out who she was,
and I refused to move with her.
That's why I refused to take the job even when you urged me to.
Is that true?
Then why are you letting her take Dan Dan?
Why do you think I'd go that far?
It's because I have no other choice.
Dan Dan still has to grow and bloom.
Do you want her to grow old raising Mr. Lee's kids?
That's why I'm sending them off.
Because at least that woman is Dan Dan's mom.
Are you saying...
there's nothing between you and her?
There is not!
Honey, listen.
Trust me and pretend you don't know.
If Dan Dan were to know she's the mom who abandoned her,
she'd never go to the US with her.
Honey. Dan Dan leaves next week.
It'll be all over then.
I won't see her ever again.
So, honey... Please.
It won't go wrong now, will it?
We managed to talk it out.
My wife agreed to pretend she doesn't know,
so that's that.
Keep your promise and take good care of Dan Dan.
What a relief.
Thank you so much.
Se Jong.
Se Jong, where are you?
What is it, Dad?
Did either of you see Se Jong?
He was in his room.
He's not there.
Will you help me look for him?
Dad, wait.
Dad, Jae Ni. Se Jong is in here.
Se Jong, why are you in here?
Dad. When will Ms. Park come back?
Se Jong. Did you miss Ms. Park?
Se Jong.
Ms. Park said she's going to America and that she'll be back later.
Then is she really gone?
Shall we go to your room?
It's past your bedtime.
Dad.
I can't sleep without Ms. Park.
Then how about you sleep with me?
I want to sleep with you and Se Jong too.
Do you? What about you, Jae Ni?
I'm fine.
Okay, then. Se Chan and Se Jong,
you can sleep with me tonight.
Your brother is asleep already.
Can you not sleep?
No. Dad, I can't sleep.
Then I'll count up from one for you.
You'll fall asleep in no time.
Okay.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Se Jong. Are you okay?
What do I do?
(Chairman Lee Young Guk)
Hello?
Young Guk, you need to come home right now.
Something is wrong with Se Jong. He's very sick.
What? Se Jong?
He hasn't been sleeping and it has put him on edge.
I gave him a sedative.
Dr. Kim.
Se Jong has never been like this.
It looks like separation anxiety.
Separation anxiety?
Yes.
If he continues to have difficulty sleeping, eating,
and keeps vomiting,
he should be admitted for therapy and treatment.
These symptoms occurred because he's in shock...
after his tutor suddenly quit.
In my opinion, the best cure would be for her to come by...
and calm Se Jong herself.
I see.
The more I think about it, the more I don't get it.
That Anna Kim is really something.
Did she perhaps change her face with plastic surgery...
and approach Soo Chul on purpose?
Then she tried to bribe me with an annual salary...
of 200,000 dollars to steal him from me?
I will make her pay.
Let me in. Open the door!
Oh, gosh.
Why are you doing this?
Why am I doing this? You're a thief.
You changed your face and came back...
and tried to take Soo Chul from me.
You wench. You're a terror.
You thief. You witch.
You abandoned your newborn child.
How dare you come back with a new face?
You're a robber.
Don't you dare call my husband ever again.
I'm holding back for Dan Dan's sake. Do you get that?
How could you show up again with a new face?
You're a fraud and a thief!
Soo Chul.
It's me.
How many more times must I get my hair pulled?
What are you talking about?
Did my wife come to see you again?
How long...
must I suffer at her hands?
You're the one who asked me to take Dan Dan to the US with me,
so talk some sense into your wife.
What if Dan Dan happens to see your wife throwing a fit like this?
When did you get home?
What is the matter with you?
Why did you go to see her again?
My gosh.
Did that wench call you already?
Are you two still in contact?
You've got to be kidding me.
Are you seriously taking her side over mine?
Honey, please.
Just keep it together until Dan Dan leaves.
Unleash your anger at me if you must.
Is the attack on Dan Dan's birth mother...
that heartbreaking to you?
How can you only care about her when my heart has been shattered too?
Thinking about how she made a fool out of me...
by offering you a six-figure salary had me fuming,
so I took her by the hair.
Does that break your heart?
She went through multiple facial surgeries...
just so that she could seduce you,
so how can I not be angry?
Honey, please calm down.
I understand how you feel.
It's just that I don't want Dan Dan to find out.
Maybe we should rethink this idea.
Sending Dan Dan with her doesn't seem right.
That woman...
will use Dan Dan as leverage to seduce you again.
She'll use Dan Dan as an excuse to get you to the US as well.
How could I possibly let that happen?
It's like placing a fox in a henhouse.
How can we send Dan Dan...
to the woman who abandoned her?
My gosh.
What on earth did I just hear?
The woman taking Dan Dan to the US...
is her birth mother?
Mother, it's...
Dad, this is wrong.
What will you do if Dan Dan finds out?
She will feel betrayed.
This is wrong.
I can't condone this either.
I feel the same way.
Since it's her birth mother,
I'm sure she'll take good care of Dan Dan.
There won't be a problem if this stays a secret,
but no secret ever stays in the dark.
Honey,
you should tell Dan Dan everything.
It's not like she has fallen for a criminal.
The man is older with three children.
Must you be against him when that's his only flaw?
Honey, that's enough.
Nothing will happen as long as we stay quiet.
How will she find out when she's in the US?
Her mother agreed to take the secret to the grave,
so for Dan Dan's sake,
don't say anything until she leaves the country.
Once Dan Dan's there, she'll be able to forget and move on.
Sure.
She's your daughter, so who are we to go against your wishes?
But it'll only be a bigger mess if she finds out later...
which is what we're worried about.
We get it though.
Don't worry, Mother.
This will all be over once she leaves in a few days.
Her mother promised...
never to tell Dan Dan the truth,
so don't worry.
Know this though.
If you go to the US to see her...
or stay in contact with her,
I will call Dan Dan instantly...
and tell her who her birth mother is.
Don't you forget that.
That won't ever happen, so don't worry.
I'm home.
What's going on?
Why did you stop talking the moment I stepped inside?
It's highly suspicious.
Were you making fun of me?
You little genius. How did you know?
Is that true?
Of course not.
We're all upset to see you go to the States, that's all.
Change into something comfortable and join us for a beer.
Beer sounds good. Okay, I'll go and get changed.
Please help me send Dan Dan away peacefully.
All right, fine.
We should all watch what we say.
Look at this, Se Jong.
These are your favorite side dishes.
Se Jong, how about a steamed prawn?
Se Jong,
you love sausages. Why don't you have one?
Oh, dear. You poor thing.
Se Jong, it's all right. Don't eat if you don't want to.
Se Jong, why don't we go upstairs and rest in your room?
Come here.
Separation anxiety.
He doesn't seem to be faking it.
What are we going to do?
Se Jong.
Don't force yourself to eat what you don't want to.
Okay.
But being a great soccer player is your dream, isn't it?
If you don't eat,
you won't grow taller or stronger.
How will you play soccer then?
Since you want to be a great soccer player,
why don't I grind the rice...
and make you some porridge?
I don't want to eat anything right now.
Maybe tomorrow.
Okay.
Then let's go to sleep.
You'll feel better in the morning.
But Dad,
I can't sleep even though I want to.
Why don't I count numbers for you then?
But Dad,
you counted...
over 500 yesterday,
but I still couldn't sleep.
Dad,
I think seeing Ms. Park will help me fall asleep.
- This is the one. - Nice.
And the shades.
- One, two, three. - Three!
Ms. Park, be happy in America.
- Ms. Park! - Ms. Park!
- Bye. - Bye.
- Farewell, kite. - Bye.
- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Ms. Park,
I'm sorry to call you so late.
But could I ask you to visit the house?
What?
Right now?
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
What is going on?
You promised to let my daughter go.
- How shameless are you? - I'm sorry.
I'm leaving in two days. Isn't that enough for you?
So don't be cruel to Mr. Lee.
- This. - But I don't know how to play.
- Please enjoy. - Uncle, hello!
I know we broke up,
but it doesn't feel that way.
Don't wiggle your way back into my life like this.
I'm afraid I forgot to bring the flash drive...
containing the files for today's fashion show.
Could you go by my studio apartment?
This looks like me when I was a baby.
Aren't you Ms. Cho?
She comes twice a week to arrange the flowers.
Does my brother know about this?
I don't think you should come by anymore.
Are you saying that Anna Kim is Ms. Park Dan Dan's birth mother?
- I'd like a word in person. - All right.
Yes, that's her.
She's your birth mother.
Ms. Kim is my birth mother?
