Kids, be careful and I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay!
Goodbye.
- Mommy! - Mommy!
Mommy!
Na-ri!
There's my girl. Did you have a good day?
- Yes. - Give me a kiss.
And another.
Did you have something good to eat at kindergarten?
- Yes. - What did you eat?
Rice and spinach.
- That sounds good. - It was.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Take off your bag. Put it away and wash your hands.
Okay.
Does she change on her own?
Yeah. She's old enough to go to school, you know.
I just help her take a bath and brush her hair.
She's already so big.
I know.
When she was little, I wondered when she'd start walking and talking.
I heard she's not your real daughter.
You heard?
Yeah.
My mom's boyfriend heard it from your brother.
Yeah.
Why did you decide to adopt her?
How can you raise a stranger's kid?
See, an unfortunate accident made me infertile.
I felt like it was the end of the world then.
But when I first saw Na-ri, she didn't feel like a stranger's child.
Isn't it weird?
I think we were connected by fate even before she was born.
I thought as I raised her, 'This child is a gift from God.'
I could put the pain behind me and smile again thanks to her.
I see.
I don't think I can survive without her.
When I rub my cheek against hers, she smells like sweet fruit
and my heart tingles and I'm so happy.
Hold on.
Happy?
'You're happy?'
'So while I slummed it in America, believing that I'd lost my daughter,
you held her in your arms and felt happiness?'
'Ga-eun, just watch.'
'I'll take away that happiness of yours.'
Mommy, tell the lady to go away.
Why?
She's an evil witch. She's come to steal me away.
Na-ri, you mustn't say things like that.
Don't call your pretty auntie a wich.
But... I don't like the wtich lady. Tell her to go away.
Don't be like this. She's a guest.
- Have some of this. - Thanks.
Na-ri, who did you get your pretty looks from?
Na-ri, what's wrong? She asked you a question.
Na-ri, want to see the present I bought for you?
Wow, lucky Na-ri. Auntie bought her a present.
Say thank you.
You don't like it?
I have lots of dolls.
I see. You do? I didn't know.
I'll buy something you like next time.
Na-ri, Auntie bought it just for you.
The dolls you make are prettier.
Na-ri, why are you being so rude?
It's fine. She's just a child.
I guess you don't like me much. Is it because I scolded you?
I won't let you take me away. Never.
What is she saying? Na-ri, don't be mean.
Na-ri, when can we become friends?
You are a witch lady.
Why is she...? You're gonna be in trouble, young lady!
President Yoo caught our scent and put a stop to our project.
We'll just acquire the funds for the factory and shelve it for now.
Yes, sir. Oh, and sir?
Yeah?
I heard a rumor from one of President Yoo's men.
They plan to nominate Yoo Sung-eun for president at the next board meeting.
Just as we expected.
That's President Yoo's ultimate goal.
Unfortunately for him, Yoo Sung-eun is nowhere near capable.
How about we beat them to the punch?
Excuse me?
We'll seat him as president right away.
Then we'll control him like a puppet on strings.
I'll do the thinking and he'll take all responsibility.
He's perfect as my human shield.
That's an excellent idea.
Sung-eun's easier to control than President Yoo.
We'll make Sung-eun get rid of his father's allies.
Excessive investiments and inexperienced management.
It'll all be his fault and Sun Apparel will fall thanks to his incompetence.
The master bedroom isn't so big.
It's clean.
You wanna talk here?
Why not?
You don't want others in your husband and your private space?
Of course not.
How is he? Is he good to you?
You know, good enough.
He's not a naturally affectionate person. I've learned to live with it.
When are you happiest?
Um... I feel secure when I wake up with him by my side.
Like he'll always be on my side and belong to me.
Sometimes he rubs his unshaven chin to my face.
I tell him to stop and he just does it more.
That's when I feel the best.
Yeah?
So who was the guy you married in the States?
Ah... An Arabian oil tycoon.
An old geezer with 13 ex-wives.
It wasn't really a marriage.
I lived as his 14th wife. When we separated he gave me alimony.
I had no choice.
My mom was scammed by a guy and lost what little money I had.
Back then I was dancing on stage to survive.
What's the point of telling you this? It's not a very good story.
So that's what happened.
Forget about the past. You're a successful designer now.
Do you pity me since you were happy while I lived with an old man?
Are you sorry that you're happy?
- Ran, that's not what I... - Don't try to comfort me.
My life wasn't so pathetic that I need your reassurance.
It's me. When are you coming over?
I can't today.
I promised to go home and play with Na-ri.
I'm sick. I ache all over. I can't even move.
Yeah? How bad is it?
You know that it's the worst feeling to be alone when sick, right?
Did you go to the hospital?
Forget the hospital. Buy medicine when you come.
I can't even make it to the pharmacy.
I'll pick something up on the way.
Was that the guy? The married guy?
Why else would I put on an act to get him to come?
You've been through this before.
You need to find a guy who will belong only to you...
I didn't come to hear a lecture.
And he's with his wife against his wishes. He still loves me.
Until when are you gonna be with him like this?
Well, it won't be forever.
I should get going.
You look real happy. Your marriage life is a success, isn't it?
I guess?
I think living simply with no real ups and downs is a form of happiness.
Then according to you, I'm real unhappy, right?
Of course not. That's not what I meant.
You're living a life that people envy.
And getting divorced these days means almost nothing.
Then would you divorce your husband?
What a strange question.
Do you trust him 100%?
I can't bring myself to trust men.
I heard all men cheat at least once. All my friends went through it.
What about you?
If your husband cheats, are you just going to forgive him?
I don't know. I don't want to imagine that.
I can't. I don't even want to think about it.
Think about it seriously for once. I'll counsel you on it.
I'm quite the expert in the matter.
Do you know why I'm mentioning this? I'm giving you a hint.
A hint?
You know I go to your husband's office a lot these days.
I think he's dating someone.
What?
I better get going before my lover comes.
Ran.
Are you serious?
You think my husband has another woman?
Look how easily you believe me. There were signs, weren't there?
It's just my intuition. I don't know any details.
So live with some suspicion. Else you'll find a knife in your back.
I'm off.
Your turn to wander through hell in great pain.
Doubt and distrust your husband and drive yourself mad.
I think he's dating someone.
I don't like this scent. Do we have anything else?
My secretary bought them when I went to the sauna.
Are you suspecting me?
What about you?
If your husband cheats, are you just going to forgive him?
No way... He can't have another woman.
Sun Apparel vice president's office.
This is his wife. Is he in?
Hello, ma'am. He'll be back soon from the the factory in Cheon-an.
What about Mr. Kim?
Mr. Kim accompanied him.
Shall I tell Mr. Kim to give you a call?
No, it's fine. Thank you.
Busted. Totally busted.
Why you gotta bust there? This ain't good.
- To double that... - What?
- Here we go! - What the...?
I win.
What the hell?
What are you doing?
Why are you gambling at my house?
We were bored while waiting for you.
You're late. I was dying waiting for you.
Get out this instant!
We were worried about you.
Are you okay?
You gave up on the child?
Who says I gave up anything?
Could you give up your child?
Then again, you always left me to run off with men.
Wench, you're never gonna let that go, huh?
Let's go, Mister Cho.
Huh? Alright.
- Mister Cho. - Yeah?
I feel like crap. Let's go somewhere fun.
Sounds good.
Baby, baby. Shall we go dancing tonight?
'No, I'm suspecting him for nothing.'
'There's no way...'
So live with some suspicion. Else you'll find a knife in your back.
Mom, how's my drawing?
That is an excellent drawing. You are so talented.
I'm gonna show Daddy when he comes.
Shall we call and ask when he's coming?
Yes, Mommy.
Tell him to hurry home.
Okay, Mommy.
Please leave a message...
It's busy.
I'm glad you're thinking positively about working with us.
Let's just say that the meeting was better than expected.
Then shall we finalize the contract tomorrow?
Just one thing. I would like to add an article.
An additional article?
Yes. We'd like Julia to be the head designer.
We'll sign as soon as you agree to let her work in our office.
That's right. One second, please.
Hello.
Hey.
Okay. Call me when the final contract is ready.
Goodbye.
- Was that Sun Apparel? - Yes.
I asked them to include an article on Julia in the contract.
Isn't it a given that she's the head designer?
From what I hear, Park Jung-woo's got quite a head on his shoulders.
It's possible he'd say one thing now and change his word later.
True. Better safe than sorry. It's always best to be cautious.
Sir, dinner is ready.
Alright.
I don't really trust that VP. And there's something that bothers me.
What is it? He seemed a decent guy to me.
He's tall and handsome.
We're not picking actors here. Who cares if he's handsome?
Is your concern work-related? Did you hear some gossip?
Not exactly.
Then what's there to worry about?
In business, you hire your enemy if you need to.
Just think of getting good results.
What? Director Yoo Sung-eun as president?
There's a rumor that you're in talks with the directors of the board.
You really didn't know?
I had no idea.
Whoever it is, he guessed my hopes far too early.
It's no good for such rumors to surface already.
Report to me if anything happens.
Sung-eun, did you go around claiming to be the next president?
What? That's ridiculous.
What is this? Sung-eun's gonna be president?
Tongues are a-wagging since the president's seat is unoccupied.
But rumors don't come from nothing.
Sung-eun as president is a little...
Then again, why can't I do it? Father, you can be the chairman then.
That position isn't one that just anyone can fill.
Even being a director is too much for you.
Sometimes the position makes the man.
Then at least promote me.
Dad, I want a promotion, too. Please?
I've been a team manager for two years now.
I gave you that position so you'd get hands-on experience.
I've learned plenty already. Please, Dad?
I agree. Trust Jung-woo a little less and trust your family more.
Give Young-eun some support.
There are steps to be taken. I'm handling it.
Sung-eun, build your competence. Cut back on the women and the booze.
I will.
President Yoo Sung-eun.
They wanna just take the designer we worked so hard to hire?
We have no choice. We have to match their conditions.
What's important here is a successful partnership.
Tell Dream tomorrow that we're ready to sign.
Yes, sir.
Our clothing line Star will benefit with the establishment of Dream Star.
Which will only help build my influence.
Hey, Na-ri.
Daddy, when will you be home?
Huh? I'm not sure.
Hurry home and push me on the swings.
I haven't played on the swings in a long time.
Daddy's very busy right now. Let me talk to your mother.
Daddy wants to talk to you.
Sweetie? Remember your promise with Na-ri?
I have to work late tonight.
Explain it to Na-ri and put her to bed.
Will you be very late?
Not too late.
Then eat at home. I'll have a meal ready, okay?
Alright.
When you come...
Why do you ignore the humiliation and shame your family gives me?
All these years I've been disregarded and my pride stomped on,
but I'll take it no more.
I refuse to be the delivery boy for kimchi!
How dare you talk back to me!
Mother!
Stop this instant!
'It's true. His behavior has changed.'
'He's not just indifferent. He's always picking a fight.'
Let me see. Are you alright?
You've got a fever. Let's go to the hospital.
No. I just need you by my side.
But you feel so hot. Did you take medicine?
Yeah.
I saw Na-ri early this afternoon.
What?
Knowing she's mine, she's absolutely beautiful.
But she hates me. She calls me the witch lady.
She's too young to know any better.
When will you bring her to me?
It breaks my heart to see her hate me so much.
You two can get friendly over time. Blood always prevails.
Na-ri will start liking you in no time, okay?
You're going to stay with me, right?
No? You'll go home and leave me to be sick all alone?
You have your mother. I shouldn't do anything suspicious.
That's an excuse.
You want to wake up beside Ga-eun and rub her cheek to yours
and tell her that you love her, right?
Mi-ran, stop acting like a child.
My heart has ripped to shreds because of Na-ri.
Yet you can't stay one night with me?
You're really cruel, you know that?
Alright, alright. I'll stay with you.
When is he coming home?
Did I heat it too many times?
Is that you, sweetie?
Oh, Jung-hee.
Ga-eun, I'm divorcing my hubby. I just ended things.
- What? - What did you just say?
Mom. He hit me.
What?
How dare he hit such a small, frail girl?
I'm so furious and mortified. I refuse to live with him.
I won't ever go back. I'm gonna divorce him now!
Why did you fight?
Goodness. Look at your puffy eye. How did that happen?
He blew up about me reading his email. I caught him good.
He exchanged emails with some girl, talking about how he loves her.
So I bit him where it hurts.
Where it hurts? Where's that?
Where else? His nose!
Then his fist came out of nowhere.
He probably went to see an ENT doctor.
Or maybe a dermatologist?
Or maybe the ER since it's so late.
Who cares where he went!
Oh, you fool.
You're never gonna divorce him.
It's been 5 minutes and you're already worried about him.
I'm gonna divorce him.
I can't live with this feeling of disgust and betrayal.
I'm gonna end things.
Jung-hee, did you not eat dinner?
Go set the table.
You can eat right away. I have a stew ready.
Oh, you poor thing. My poor child was beaten.
Goodness.
And you didn't even eat! I'm gonna kill your husband...
Mom, I tell you, he probably went to the ER.
Go beat him up tomorrow.
Oh, where is your head?
What a waste. What a waste of stew.
Who cares about that when she's hurt?
Ga-eun, let me have a look. Does it hurt?
Oh, you've been burned. There are already blisters.
- We should go to the ER. - Goodness gracious.
Have you seen such a clumsy girl?
Can you call your brother for me?
How are things with Ga-eun?
What do you mean?
Do you like her? When do you like her?
When did I ever say that I liked her?
How could you live with her so long if you don't?
Even if it's for money, you've lived with her for 7 years.
Don't you know that I'll do whatever it takes to achieve my goal?
My home.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Why isn't he picking up?
