Jung Soo.
It's me Mrs. Woo.
Mrs. Woo.
Do you... recognize me?
Mrs. Woo.
Mrs. Woo... Mrs. Woo.
Mrs. Woo.
Jung Soo.
I'm so sorry for not recognizing you.
Mrs. Woo, Mrs. Woo.
Pale skin, big eyes full of fear and a strong body.
Still the same, everything's still the same. Why couldn't I recognize you?
I'm sorry Jung Soo.
I'm so so sorry.
You must've resented me so much.
You must've hated me so much.
I never once resented you Mrs. Woo.
I was just happy that you were healthy again.
I was just happy that you came back to Korea.
I was just happy to see you at a distance.
Mrs. Woo, do you remember the promise you made with me?
If we were to separate by any chance we would meet at the Yeon Jong Dong sea.
For seventeen years without fail, I waited for you by the sea Mrs. Woo.
You don't have to do that anymore.
We've found each other so don't do that anymore.
I know that you're Jung Soo now, so no more.
I'll never let go of your hand again.
I promise.
I remembered the key under the pot so I came here a lot.
I remembered playing hide and seek with you.
I hid in the closet once and fell asleep.
When I woke up, everything was dark.
For a moment I forgot where I was and I got scared.
Little thing like you, came here all by yourself?
I left notes for you every time I came to the cottage... did you see them?
I did, you have no idea how touched I was.
I was the happiest then.
I was full of the hope of seeing you Mrs. Woo.
Jung Soo, do you remember Mrs. Woo's tree, Jung Soo's tree?
Of course!
We were going to plant trees but it was raining so hard we weren't able to.
So instead you drew a picture of us planting it.
Jung Soo's tree, Mrs. Woo's tree.
Right... You're really my Jung Soo.
Mrs. Woo, you really haven't changed at all.
You're exactly the same from 17 years ago.
When you came back to Korea, do you know when I first saw you Mrs. Woo?
At the airport... I thought I was wrong but now I'm sure.
I was right, it was you at the airport Mrs. Woo.
I didn't know.
I didn't know... you recognized me instantly.
Why couldn't I recognize you?
How could you recognize me? I was a little girl back then.
In the end, you finally recognized me.
The Mrs. Woo I thought of everyday was always smiling.
So don't cry.
Have you been staying at your uncle's house all this time?
Yes.
When did you start making bags?
Since high school.
What are you doing?
Mom you're home.
Doesn't it smell good? I'm making your favorite salmon steak mom.
The main dish is salmon steak with caprese salad and white whine.
Dad will be home soon too.
That must be dad.
Dad.
Sure.
It's a wine from Spain. It has hints of mahogany in it.
You too mom.
Dad will you pour for me?
Sure.
Dad. Mom.
Do you remember when I got accepted to college?
Dad said he was going to cook and he bought a turkey.
But you set the timer wrong and burnt it to a crisp.
Dad, do you remember?
I do.
In the end, we were starving so we had salmon steaks instead.
Maybe because I was so hungry but the salmon
steaks that day was the best I ever had.
Don't you think so mom?
It's probably not as good back then but I put lots of love into it so enjoy okay?
Honey, let's eat.
Honey.
How is it? I put lime into the sauce to make it more refreshing.
Mom, try it and let me know.
Honey.
Mom must not be in a good mood again today.
Go in dad.
Honey.
I'm pretty sure Seo Hyun knows.
That's why she's acting like that.
Now that you've met her father, I'm sure she heard we know everything.
She knows and she's shamelessly ignoring it.
I think she does know.
That's why she's making an effort.
Anyways, until Seo Hyun brings it up first, let's wait.
This is nice.
How much is this?
That's 300 thousand won a foot.
That's real alligator leather.
What about this one?
You need to ask the people over there.
How much is this?
This fake one? It's 30 thousand won.
Okay, 30 thousand won.
The history and quality of the artisan's work is what defines a luxury product.
Without question the quality needs to be the best.
But it's the pride that's put into by the
people who makes and sells it that's important.
It's the same thing when making leather as well.
Depending upon the material and artificial
process the quality can be very different.
Look at the materials.
If the market designers come together.
I believe we can make our own competitive brand.
We no longer have to copy other famous designs and make our own luxury product.
Everyone, if we can just concentrate on the materials,
I really think we can make our own luxury product.
How's the President doing?
Since visitors are not allowed, I can't go even though I'm worried.
He's getting better everyday.
He'll be returning soon.
I'm happy hear that.
With the launching coming up, I was worried
we had to recommend an acting president.
I'm glad it didn't come to that.
Is there some progress with the new European brand?
He's responsible for the Chung Joo factory?
Yes.
What's going on?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
The personnel appointment notification.
The Chung Joo factory, you're responsible for it's management.
That's not an official announcement, they just want you to leave.
You're right.
They want me to leave.
Why?
What did you do wrong Min Ki?
I can't really tell you the specifics.
Anyways, I wouldn't be where I am right now without Director Choi's support.
But it's true that I betrayed him.
Then the personnel appointment is because of a personal agenda?
I'm thinking of taking this time to rest so it's not that bad.
I hit the floor running as soon as I came back from America.
I think it's best that I take a break.
Kang Min Ki.
You haven't changed at all.
You're still the same.
Do you know why I broke up with you?
At this point, I don't want to know.
Why don't you have a dream Min Ki?
When we were in New York, I knew about the offer you got from Red Milano.
You should have done it for me... no, you owed it to yourself.
To refuse the offer from Red Milano.
- Back then... - Don't blame this on Director Choi!
Even if you didn't return to Shin Hwa group.
There were a lot of ways to pay back Director Choi.
Min Ki, the reason you refused Red Milano's offer...
was because you had no dream or ambition.
It's only to you that I have no dream.
It's because you and I have different dreams.
So even if I had a dream, you didn't see it.
The way I see it, you're the one without a dream.
You don't have a dream... just useless desires.
All bags for 10 thousand won.
- It's really only for 10 thousand won? - Ah, yes.
- Take a look. - Okay.
- An omelet rice please. - Here it is.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Even though you're alone try to enjoy it... and dig in.
Director Do, wait!
Wait!
Thank you.
Have you thought about my proposal?
The contract engagement?
I think it's irrelevant from what I proposed to you.
Well I hope my irrelevant proposal becomes relevant then.
What are you trying to do, still staying in that house?
Kyung Hee, come out from there today.
You know the President and his wife don't have the heart to kick you out!
We can't turn back time and undo what we did.
Then at least act like you have a conscious!
If they tell me to leave right now, I will.
But... I'm not going to do it of my own free will.
Kyung Hee!
It's fine if you think I don't have a conscious.
It's fine if I don't have any pride.
As long as mom and dad don't kick me out, I'm going to hang on.
So... just mind your own business and leave dad.
In the meantime, I think they're thinking positively.
Find out from the service desk, who Eun Ki Jung was here to see.
Excuse me?...
Yes sir.
Who? Director Kim?
Yes. He was here to see Director Kim a month ago as well.
Yes? All right, you may leave.
[Resignation]
- What do you plan on doing now? - I won't forget your kindness Director.
There's no need to think you're indebted to me.
It wasn't out of kindness, you were an investment.
The investment wasn't making a profit so I just thought of it as a failure.
You may have changed Director.
But I still plan on using what you have taught me.
Time flies...
It's been 30 years if there's no change then I wouldn't be here.
I may have made a bad investment.
You however, will regret the choice that you made for the rest of your life.
Grandpa...
Nothing's going on.
Hurry and wake up grandpa.
Grandpa.
The name and writing is pretty don't you think?
- It is! - Jung Soo did a great job!
That's a fancy hanging board.
I like this saying.
The start maybe small but later it will be big.
Although we're starting off with nothing.
We're going to make something big happen here.
Dong Dae Mun's luxury product design.
No. Dong Dae Mun's worldly design.
Jung Soo you sure do talk well.
I don't know anything about that.
I'm just thankful to have a great sewing machine like this.
I promise to work hard.
Excuse me.
This is Joom Chi right?
Oh my gosh. Director Kang! How did you know to come here?
You didn't have to buy that.
Aren't you going to have a grand opening?
Thank you.
Wow, this is nice.
It's like a vacant room.
He's one of the director's from Shin Hwa group's design department.
Oh goodness... I'm... I'm Jung Soo's uncle.
- My name is Kang Min Ki. - Ah yes.
This is Shim Min Kyung.
In the young department of the street market, she's a very famous designer.
We've decided to work together.
It's nice to meet you.
Hello... but what's the relationship between you two?
Are you two dating? Or about to?
It's not that kind of a relationship Ms. Min Kyung.
Then you left Shin Hwa group for good?
Why? Why would they fire a person like you?
What happened?
Who said I got fired? I handed in my resignation letter.
So why did you hand in your resignation letter?
Ms. Jung Soo, will you hire me to your company?
No way.
I'm not joking.
In return, I won't accept a paycheck.
Just think of me as an investment.
I'm serious.
I was once a designer in high demand.
You're going to regret losing me.
You're curious about Jin Hoo aren't you?
Has the President been discharged?
He's still in the hospital.
In fact, he's gotten worse.
Jin Hoo is really having a tough time.
Adopted?
Director Kim is not the biological child of
President Kim Jong Wook but an adopted child?
- Yes. - Then how is Eun Ki Jung involved?
I'm not exactly sure.
But Eun Ki Jung had a sister who passed away from cancer at an early age.
When her sister passed away, Eun Ki Jung's daughter went to his house.
There's a rumor that several months later,
the child was adopted into another family.
I'm wondering if Eun Ki Jung's niece is Director Kim.
Director Choi.
Make sure that this information doesn't get leaked.
Yes sir.
You may leave.
Yes sir.
- Tell Director Kim to come to my office. - Yes sir.
But Director, your wife is here.
Honey, what brings you here?
Oh my gosh! You look as if you've been caught having an affair.
Why do you look so shocked?
I'm not shocked... you just came all of a sudden without even a call.
Even if I called you, you won't give me a definitive response anyways.
I checked with the secretary's office and your whole afternoon is free.
So don't think about escaping today.
- Honey, about Ms. Do Young... - Do Young?
My friend Do Young?
Ms. Do Young's daughter...
Director Kim from Sae Kyung company that's working here.
Is not her biological daughter?
Honey, you just pretend to listen to me don't you?
How many times did I tell you that Do Young adopted a full grown child?
- When was that? - I'm not sure.
It was after Do Young's accident.
So 1996?
But why are you asking that all of a sudden?
- Director, Director Kim is here. - Seo Hyun?
- Mrs. Jang, you're here. - Hi Seo Hyun.
Did you have something to discuss with Seo Hyun?
No, we can talk later.
Great. Honey, buy Seo Hyun and I dinner then.
No, you two should have dinner alone.
Hey! If it's just us two, he's going to decline. So do this for me okay?
Thank you.
Do you like eating steak?
I'm not sure what you like Jung Soo so I brought you here.
Yes, I do like it.
Eat.
Oh, wait.
Try mine first.
It's good!
It's good. It's really really good.
You're exactly the same.
- What is? - That smile, when you said 'it's good.'
The work that you started... is there anything I could help you with?
It's fine.
Is your office space small?
Should I get you a bigger place?
Later. If I can't do it on my own then I'll ask for your help.
Do that. You have to ask me okay?
If you like it then say that you like it,
If you hate it then say that you hate it.
If it hurts then say that it hurts. You taught to me say what I felt.
If I'm having a tough time, I'll make sure to ask for your help.
All right.
- Let's eat. - Yes.
Do Young.
Oh my... Yeon Sook.
Guess who I came here with?
Director Choi.
Seo Hyun, your mom's here.
It's been awhile.
Mom.
Hi.
And who's this young lady?
Oh my... honey, you know this young lady too?
We were in the middle of eating.
- Let's talk after we eat. - We'll just join you then.
Miss, can you make some more space?
Come on honey! Seo Hyun!
Shall we make a toast?
Young lady... what are you doing?
Yes.
Cheers!
Seriously, who's this young lady?
It seems like you know her too honey.
She was a part-time worker for Shin Hwa.
Then how do you know her Do Young?
Seo Hyun is my high school classmate.
Why are you seeing Seo Hyun's friend? And alone at that.
It just came to be that way.
How is that all three of you are having dinner together?
I barged into his office without a call.
Luckily, he was just waiting for Seo Hyun.
And I forced them to come with me.
Director Kim, where is your hometown?
Honey! You don't have to speak so formally here.
She's my friend's daughter.
Is that all right?
Yes, of course.
Please do that.
Was your hometown Seoul since birth?
Until she met her mom...
He knows everything.
Yeah, let's just all talk comfortably.
You lived in Yeon Jong Do before you met your mother right?
Yes.
- How old are you Director Kim? - Why are you so curious about Seo Hyun?
Why? Are you thinking of matchmaking?
What?
Yes.
Seo Hyun, ask Mr. Choi to find someone for you.
He has a good eye for people.
Seo Hyun... how old are you?... 25?
26.
Then were you born in 1988?
Yes.
Wow honey, you're calculation is really fast!
If it's not close to my age, I can't calculate the age or the date of birth.
Come on let's eat! Enjoy!
You must be delighted.
To be affectionate with my mom in front of me.
Are you going to be like this every time we run into each other?
I'm not delighted but I am happy that I'm with Mrs. Woo.
So I'd appreciate if you didn't ruin it for me.
Why aren't you eating? It's good.
I am.
I'm going to leave now.
Why?
Is it because I keep on asking who are?
No, not at all.
You know what, I'm going to leave too.
I'm sorry but we're going to leave first.
You too? Have dessert and go home with Seo Hyun.
We still have some things to talk about.
Seo Hyun is that all right? I'll see you at home.
Sure mom.
Then I'll see you again.
- Yes, see you soon. - Bye.
I'm really curious to know what's that young lady's identity.
Seo Hyun, besides your dad.
I've never seen your mom be so affectionate with another person.
Mrs. Woo.
We need to talk.
There's something that I have to say to you.
I've heard everything that I needed to hear.
There's nothing you have to say that I haven't heard already.
One thing! Just let me say one thing!
You must listen to me!
- Secretary Jang. - Yes.
- Please go back. - What about my Kyung Hee?
She did nothing wrong! I'm the one that's guilty!
If you're going to punish anyone, punish me!
Kyung Hee did nothing wrong!
- Please! - You can't do this!
Get up.
What are you doing right now?
- Get up! - Let me be.
In this way I can beg for forgiveness.
You think by doing this they're going to forgive you?
Get up, I said get up!
Listen carefully.
You didn't want to go.
From the very beginning, you said you didn't want to go.
But I, your mother, lost all control and sent you.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
So this is all my fault.
You did nothing wrong.
Get up. Get up!
Don't do this. I'm about to go crazy as it is!
You doing this doesn't help me at all mom!
So get up. Get up!
Sincerity moves heaven.
If I beg for forgiveness, who knows?
Since it's already in the past and the deed is done, they might let it go.
[This is my last gift to you. Yours truly, Hye Jung.]
That feels refreshing.
Thanks Seo Hyun.
- I know you're tired so stop. - It's all right mom.
Dr. Steve said massaging your legs will help you recover faster.
Seo Hyun stop.
I can tell the maid to do it later.
I'm doing it because I want to.
Mom, do you not like it if I do this for you?
I feel bad, that's why.
Having to wash your feet makes me happy mom.
I'm the happiest when I look at your grades.
Is Seo Hyun not home yet?
I had dinner with Jung Soo today and we coincidentally saw Seo Hyun there.
I keep thinking about the days when Seo Hyun was massaging my legs.
If I look back, Seo Hyun was really making an effort.
To make you and me love her.
She never once swayed from our expectations... no, she exceeded it.
She was upright, exemplary and studied well.
I don't think I ever reprimanded Seo Hyun at all.
Because we're not her biological parents.
I though she was just uncomfortable and awkward around us.
But I never dreamt that it was to cover up something big like this.
Honey, are you going to just leave Seo Hyun like this?
Honey, I was thinking...
If Seo Hyun agrees, how do feel about sending her back to America?
It will be hard for all of us to see each other.
At the same time, we can't kick Seo Hyun out either.
I'd rather appoint her to the branch in America...
Did you just get home?
Did you drink?
I'm home dad.
Your mother... I mean not your mother right now.
Is your birth mother Eun Hye Jung?
Excuse me?
Eun Ki Jung, your uncle.
And your birth mother, Eun Hye Jung. I know them both very well.
Before your mother passed away, you lived in Yeon Jong Do?
Yes.
How... do you know my uncle?
Did you know your grandfather was involved in the leather business?
The first time I learned how to make leather was from your grandfather.
Ki Jung and I were best friends, right before a misunderstanding.
This was your late grandfather's book of leather processing.
Ki Jung thought I stole this.
The truth is, your mother sent this to me Director Kim.
By any chance... have you heard anything about your father?
Dad I heard you're very familiar with Director Choi Soo Ho of Shin Hwa group.
Director Choi Soo Ho?
Choi Soo Ho?
The one Hye Jung had an affair with! That Choi Soo Ho!
That Choi Soo Ho works at Shin Hwa group?
- Affair? - Watch what you say.
Did Hye Jung ever get married?
Or did she have a relationship with a married man? How is that an affair?
Oh my gosh!
How could he get that successful with his career?
No way!
Some man came to your grandpa's house.
Your aunt... so there was a relationship with Jung Soo's mom and that man.
But in the end, he betrayed your grandpa.
He stole the book of processing leathers and just left.
Now that punk is what? Director of Shin Hwa group?
The Director of Shin Hwa group of where you're working at?
But why do you want to know all of a sudden?
Excuse me?
No, the Director said he was your friend so I just wanted to ask.
Friend my butt!
That person is our enemy, that's all you need to know!
Director Choi Soo Ho is Eun Jung Soo's father?
If Director Choi Soo Ho is Eun Jung Soo's father...
I can't let that happen.
- Yes. - I have big news!
Yes?
Charlotte department store is looking for a
pop up store for the fall and winter season.
A pop up store is only on trial for a couple of months right?
Yes. Until now they just focused on apparel.
However for this fall and winter season they've added on bags and shoes.
This is a great opportunity for us.
The Charlotte department store is the best in our country.
Yes! To be able to debut at Charlotte is very rare.
For Charlotte to let different brands come in is momentous.
Even though it's just a pop up store.
No, it's not uncommon for pop up stores to become permanent.
- We shouldn't take this lightly. - Let's do it!
Yes. This a really great opportunity.
But there's going to be a lot stores that will want to get in.
Do you think we'll be able to do well?
This is unlike you Eun Jung Soo! What are you worried about?
You have Kang Min Ki, Shim Eun Kyung and your uncle.
You're right. No one has a dream team like us.
Let's start preparing for our presentation.
For right now our goal is to debut at the Charlotte department store.
- Yes. - Oh yeah!
Oh hey Jin Hoo.
Jin Hoo, what's wrong?
Calm down and talk to me.
All right, I'll be right there.
The president is in critical condition.
Call the doctor!
Grandpa!
Please help!
Grandpa!
Jin Hoo!
Grandpa!
Check the MRV!
Done sir.
Grandpa!
Get the defibrillator ready!
Grandpa!
It's charged!
One! Two! Three! Shock!
- 150! - Grandpa!
Charged to 150!
One! Two! Three! Shock!
- Again! - It's charged sir!
Grandpa!
One! Two! Three! Shock!
Grandpa!
Grandpa! Grandpa!
We're not only launching a world renowned brand domestically.
At the same time we've licensed a newly developed product.
We will be indigenizing the foreign brand domestically.
Instead of planning to make a Korean product world renowned.
We'll take a world renowned product and fit into Korea's market.
With realistic business goals, I promise to expand Shin Hwa group.
Like last years model, profit is not the priority.
Just a moment ago, President Do Kyung Chul of Shin Hwa group... passed away.
There's no point in recommending an acting president.
This is an emergency, let's just draft someone.
You're right.
With enough managerial votes, we can elect a new president.
This is a period of mourning for President Do Kyung Chul.
Please refrain yourselves.
The President just passed away.
To fulfill his will, Shin Hwa must move forward.
I'm indebted to the President.
The President is no longer here.
But I promise to work hard at Shin Hwa group until his will is fulfilled.
Thank you.
I believe in order to fulfill the President's will.
That person must have the management rights.
He's resting in wonderful place.
Let's gather our strength and expand Shin Hwa group to his will.
Let's go in.
Okay.
What?
Nothing.
Min Ki, go home.
I'll sleep at your place today.
I'll be fine, I just want to be alone.
Sure. If that's what makes you comfortable then go ahead.
Call me if you need me.
Thanks.
It's one thing to act childishly in front of your grandpa.
But I won't tolerate you doing that outside!
This rascal takes after his father so he's not very good in that sense.
Such a poor judge of character.
It's no good for a man to be crying a lot.
What are you doing? Here, let me help you.
Here, grab it like this and pull this back.
Mr. Choi, I wish you were my dad.
I wish I was your dad...
Do Yoon Suk.
Then starting today, be my dad!
Yes? Mr. Choi!
Please? Mr. Choi!
Rascal.
As soon as the President's funeral is over.
We'll be calling for an emergency board of director's meeting.
During a war, if a king or commander got injured, they ceased battle.
Is it hard to give him that courtesy?
The army was defeated in war by ceasing battle.
And became a laughing stock.
For the last 30 years, did you go to my parent's grave with that attitude?
For the last 30 years with that mindset.
Were you waiting for the right moment with my Grandpa?
The emergency board of director's meeting and electing for the new president.
Is because of this reason.
The path that I want to go is not just solely mine.
And I wanted to show that to you.
I'll see you at the board of director's meeting.
We'll actively help you, so go out there with confidence.
The only person that can fulfill the late President's will is you Director Do!
Right now our company needs young leadership.
Let's work hard.
Grandpa, this company you worked so hard for...
I'll protect it no matter what.
You take after your father, the suit looks great on you.
Let's go in.
We will now begin the meeting in electing the new president.
The two candidates will introduce themselves.
I, Choi Soo Ho.
Will make Shin Hwa the best fashion company in our country.
The best fashion company in the world.
I, Do Jin Hoo.
To the 50 year history of Shin Hwa.
And it advancing towards a 100 years.
I will be the bridge.
Then, we will begin voting right away.
The way of voting will be by raising your hand.
All in favor of having Director Choi as the new president, please raise your hand.
Is there anyone else?
Has everyone decided?
The board of director's meeting.
In a unanimous vote.
President Choi Soo Ho has been elected the new president!
Director Kim!
The contract engagement you proposed last time...
Is it still on the table?
Yes.
Then... let's do it.
Let's get engaged.

For the last eight years I've fooled you both.
Why did you do that to Jung Soo and us?
I can't stand to see Ms. Jung Soo, cry because of you anymore.
If it's true that you're Hye Jung's daughter.
Then Seo Hyun, you are my daughter.
One of the employee's that works at Joom Chi has shares from Shin Hwa group.
Why do you always cause trouble? Why?
I was wrong Eun Jung Soo.
