When a Man Loves
[Episode 18]
This is Vice Chairman of Asia Star, Roy Chang.
This is President Han Tae Sang of Golden Tree.
Thank you for coming all the way here. I'm Han Tae Sang.
Nice to meet you, President Han Tae Sang.
Take a seat please.
He wanted to see the office and see you before making the decision.
I heard that you're reviewing us with enthusiasm. Thank you.
You're welcome.
You speak Korean well.
You speak well too.
Thank you.
The finance team will come from Hong Kong if you two leave with a great note here.
Sometime this week.
Director Lee, did you meet Chairman Chang Ji Myung too?
Yes, I met him.
How was he?
He was handsome. He was also warm.
I'd like to meet him too.
- I will let him know. - Thank you.
- Would you like to go to the meeting room? - Yes please.
We're ready.
Let me guide you sir.
- I'll go check on my brother. - Jae Hee.
I need to see you tonight.
For what?
I have something to tell you.
Tell me now.
It's about Chang Hee's letter.
What did he write to you?
What was it?
That you're not his brother.
Who your real father is and why he was such a good brother to you...
Chang Hee wrote it all.
Who is my father?
I grew up in the hands of my grandma and my brother.
I never had parents to begin with.
I don't want to know either.
Chang Hee wants you to know.
I will hear it from him when he wakes up. That's going to be more fun.
Come to my place tonight. I will show you the letter.
Chang Hee. I'm here.
Chang Hee.
You're not my real brother?
If I'm not your brother, why did you go crazy looking out for me?
Chang Hee.
Can you hear my voice?
Then wake up.
Wake up.
And tell him to cut the crap.
Tae Sang. I never thought this day would come.
Is this a dream?
It hurts. It's not a dream.
- Chang Hee. - Yes?
Even if I can't find my brother until I die, I'm okay because I have you.
What are you saying? You have to find him.
- Thank you Chang Hee. - That's enough. Shut up.
Chang Hee! Did you catch a lot?
Just wait! I'll catch a bunch and cook you fish stew soon!
You think you can do it?
Tae Sang!
Jae Hee!
- Tae Sang! - Chang Hee! Chang Hee!
Tae Sang! Wait for me!
Wake up! Chang Hee!
- Chang Hee! Where are you going? - Jae Hee?
- Chang Hee!
Tae Sang!
Jae Hee!
Tae Sang!
Jae Hee! Tae Sang!
Jae Hee!
Open your eyes. Are you having a sad dream?
Chang Hee.
We made a reservation at a nice restaurant.
This is what I want to eat.
I wanted to eat black bean noodles in the local Chinese place.
This isn't the first time you're in Korea is it?
This is what I'll have. Black bean noodles, Sweet and Sour Pork...
Also... Spicy seafood noodles and fried dumplings.
Sure.
Do you like it?
Awesome.
I have a reason I want to see Chairman Chang personally after this.
What is that reason?
I'd like to tell him in person.
My father is a busy man.
I'm sorry, but do you have any siblings?
I'm an only child. Why do you ask?
You seem like you grew up with brothers.
What about you?
I had a brother that was 10 years younger than me.
'Had'?
We got split apart because of family circumstances.
I was conned when I was trying to find my brother. It wasn't easy.
Is that why you quit?
I don't know if you'd understand.
Frankly, I'm scared.
I'm hanging on with the hope that I will see him one day.
I feel like I'm going to collapse if I hear any bad news.
Tell me if there's a place you want to go to or food you want to try.
Are you going to guide me yourself?
If you want? Sure.
We will pay double the rent. Please extend the contract by a year.
We need a place to stay too.
I'm very sorry.
How could you do this?
The last landlord helped us out because my husband was a writer and we had a bookstore.
I'd like for you to hurry up.
Please. We just moved back in after staying out for construction.
And our bookstore is only making business because of the locals.
Where and how are we going to start over?
I'm sorry.
Can you give us some time until we find a good place?
I cannot.
Vacate by the date mentioned in the document.
The place we saw last was the best. It wasn't even a basement.
It's not best. It's so far away. It's far away from bus stops.
What about the bookstore?
He's going to move the books to a storage until he finds a good place.
Dad went to rent storage.
The books will rot in the storage.
Han doesn't know that we're moving does he?
- Why does he need to know? - He was your fiance. Why can't he know?
What's wrong with moving? Other people move around for money too.
You think you did something great, right? You think you chose love over money?
Mom, stop. We're in public.
I guarantee you. You will never be happy with that director or whatever.
He hit on someone with a boyfriend. That tells me that he's anti-social.
Take advice from your elders for once.
Let's go Mom.
Are you happy to hurt Han now? Love? Yeah right!
What Han has done for you and for us... that's love!
Just wait 3 years, a great man will come by.
Then wait another 3 years, someone even better will come.
- Why don't you switch every time then? - That's enough Mom.
- Let's go. - Just thinking of Han breaks my heart!
We have to take the bus for so long even to get to the subway.
Stop it Mom.
I'm going to wear this for the audition. What do you think?
It took me 3 days to take these. Erase them as soon as you see them.
Please.
I don't want to do this any longer. It breaks my heart.
- I don't like it either. - It's not like you really need that building.
I need it. I'm going to connect the 1st and 2nd floors to make it into a cafe.
A cafe there? That's not going to work.
I can drink coffee there alone then.
Why are you intentionally doing this?
Is Han involved in this?
No.
Can I call Han and ask him myself?
Don't do that.
Leave that family and their bookstore alone.
Kick them out.
Then you tell them yourself. I can't do this anymore.
I got some fruit on the way here.
You didn't have to do this.
You were so good to me every time I came here. I should have done this earlier.
You don't have to do this.
You look better. Something good must have happened.
No, no. Did you want a bowl of soup?
I just came to give you the fruit.
Then sit down for a bit. I'll peel these for you.
I'm dying right now.
What's wrong?
We have a new landlord and he's kicking us out.
Oh no.
It's not easy to find a good place with the rent we pay now.
Did you talk to your son-in-law-to-be?
That's what I'm saying.
I just can't talk to him about it because I feel so bad.
You should. What good is a family?
It's for relying on each other when life is hard.
Right?
Hello, ma'am.
- Come in. - I brought something to give you.
This is herb soap... I liked the scent so I brought it.
Just wash your face with it for a weak, and you will have a new face.
What good is a nice soap for my old face?
You're still beautiful.
Tae Sang's face came from you.
He got his beauty from you.
I'll just leave it here. You don't have to get up.
She brought this here. Would you like a piece?
No, I'm fine. I just came to give you the soap.
Bye.
Why are you taking the toothbrush?
It seemed old. I wanted to get her a new one.
Then buy something new first.
I will buy one right now.
It's okay. I have a new one.
I will see you again next time. Please enjoy yourselves.
Who is she? She's not your daughter or daughter-in-law is she?
- She's my son's friend. - Men and women can't be friends.
She likes my son.
I'm good with faces. She's no good.
Don't ever let him see her. Ever!
She even stole a toothbrush. Something's wrong with that.
Chang Hee. I'm here.
I haven't told Jae Hee yet.
I'm going to tell him tonight.
But I don't want to show the last two pages of the letter.
I won't tell him.
Chang Hee!
He moved his finger as if he was going to wake up.
It could be just a reflex.
Is this the entire list of the board members?
Yes.
Director, why did you need the list of the board members?
I needed to find something out.
Yes. Where will you be tomorrow? I'd like to visit you.
Yes sir. I will be there by 2. Okay.
- Aren't you going home? - I am.
I'm going to see Roy Chang after this.
It's okay if you finish late. Come to my place after work.
I don’t want to hear it.
You have to.
Finish up and come to my place.
I'm not going.
Lee Jae Hee. Listen up.
Even if you leave my company, I have no intention of asking you to stay.
I can get anyone like you with your salary.
You're nothing special.
I know that too.
Frankly, I'm not even interested in you.
I'm doing this for Chang Hee, because I pity him.
- I pity my brother too. - I had you figured wrong.
You're someone full of issues.
Then what about you?
Of course I have my issues too.
I know that I didn't have proper schooling, and I used to be a gangster. I know that!
But I don't get immersed in suspicions and revenge like you do.
- What are my suspicions? - Everything that you think is right!
- My brother will wake up soon. - Yes.
I want him to wake up soon too.
I feel bad for Chang Hee to have lived his life for someone like you!
Oh my! Who's this?
Han!
How are you?
- Are you here to see Mi Do? - Yes.
That makes me feel better. Did Mi Do want to see you?
I came because I wanted to talk to her.
Did you have dinner? If you didn't, come upstairs and have dinner.
I already ate.
Then have some fruit later, okay?
I will see you later then.
It's good to see you walk.
What do you need to talk about?
Read it.
Is this true?
I have no reason to come see you with a fake letter.
Where's the next page?
That's it about Jae Hee.
I have 2 more pages, but that's personal to Chang Hee. I can't show you that.
Also I didn't want to show that letter in the office.
I can finally understand. He must have done it because of guilt.
He wanted to make his brother the best he could be.
Tell Jae Hee.
He will listen to you.
Why do you want to let him know so badly?
You can't like the fact that Jae Hee is Asia Star's Chang Ji Myung's son.
Because Chang Hee asked.
And he should meet his family.
Okay. I will let him know.
And take this.
If he changes his mind after listening to me, I will tell him to go visit you.
He may rip it into pieces in the heat of things.
A lot of shelves are empty.
We were re-organizing.
Bye.
No just take them.
Why?
We stayed at your place for so long. Those books are nothing.
- That was in the past. - Just take the books.
You were special to me back then. Now You're just a girl in a bookstore I know.
So I'm going to pay for it. Bye.
Take this.
Because you're someone special to me.
I liked you, and I hated you.
You helped me, and yet you couldn't understand me.
I still feel sorry and sad for you.
You're not just a customer to me.
I don't want you to pay.
If you want to buy books, then go somewhere else from now on.
I will.
You don't need to feel bad for me anymore. Just be happy with Jae Hee.
That's why you left isn't it?
Bye.
[Tee Tee, Mi Do]
I'm seeing the most influential share holder tomorrow.
Han. I know that he was a gangster once.
But considering where he is now, I don't think he would want to kill someone.
- He did. - Who?
- A competitor? - My brother.
He's at the hospital right now.
Why?
I can't tell you that.
I want to know.
You just need to buy out the Golden Tree don't you?
Yes.
Just get ready to become a richer man.
I will convince the board members.
Here.
Investigate everything on Mr. Jae Hee Lee.
Including family, female relationship, debt, his brother in the hospital.
Mi Do. Is there something you need to tell me?
Yes.
What is it? You can tell me.
I think your brother left a letter to Mr. Han.
You went to see Mr. Han?
You can decide to believe him or not after you've met him.
I don't want to meet him.
I read the letter.
- What does it say? - That you're not his brother.
The family your grandma was working for was studying abroad. She met a poor man
from Hong Kong and had a son with him when her marriage was arranged.
So who are my biological parents?
Your mother died in her 20s.
- Your father is... - My father is?
It's Chairman Chang Ji Myung.
That's interesting.
Asia Star is the company I'm dealing with.
You just need to see if the letter is your brother's handwriting.
Mi Do.
You know that my brother is reckless.
That's why... I'm a sinner to you.
When you see Roy Chang tonight, ask him.
Ask if I'm Chang Ji Myung's son?
Ask if he had siblings.
Fine. I will ask him.
I will go pick you up later. I will see you at 5.
[Mi Do, Tee Tee]
I'm sorry that I'm late.
It's fine. Let's go.
Let's go.
This is one of the attractions in Seoul.
It's impressive.
It's even raining.
Mr. Chang. Would you like to stand right there?
Let me get the background for you.
- Okay. - I'm fine.
- You haven't dated anyone have you? - Huh?
You're not going to move my heart like this.
You didn't like it?
I will choose the places myself.
Here we go.
- Mr. Han. - Thank you.
Try it.
Mr. Chang needs it too.
I think it's too spicy for foreigners to like it.
Let's eat.
Where are you from?
Mr. Chang.
How did know about this place?
I was always interested in the Korean market. I keep a team here.
They shared a lot of fun information with me.
I'm sure I know more places than you.
This place is famous for having the traditional spicy rice cake taste.
Yeah. It tastes just like what I tasted when I was little.
The blogger said that it was a taste of nostalgia.
It really is.
It's just like what I had with my brother when I was little.
My brother used to eat all the fishcake in there.
My sister always ate the dumplings and sausage.
We couldn't afford those.
We just had the rice cake.
My brother couldn't eat spicy food either.
So when we came, they always put the bottle next to us.
- Mr. Chang. - Yes?
Don't cry. You're the one who wanted to come here.
It's not spicy at all.
Your nose is red. And you're sweating.
- You should wipe your nose too. - Should I?
I'm fine.
I think they made this with coals back in the day.
I used to make this at home and ruined the ladle. I got in trouble with my Mom.
She beat me with the ladle.
That's no good.
That's the right face.
The only way to confirm that they are brothers is to do a parental DNA test with each.
You need the documents to prove that they are brothers to make it more dramatic.
I heard from my brother that he found Mr. Han's mother.
I will ask him when he wakes up.
I know where Tae Sang's mother is.
You know where she is?
You take care of Roy Chang.
You're not telling me what you're going to do when you find out that Roy Chang is Han Tae Min.
You look like you have a great plan.
When are you going to tell the cops for me?
Let's wait until Chang Hee wakes up.
You have to keep your word.
Let me see Roy Chang some time.
How was the schedule today?
It was good.
What are your plans tonight?
Mr. Lee Jae Hee wanted me to have dinner with him and his girlfriend.
- You want me to put it in the back? - I can do it.
[Bio Genetics Laboratory]
Were you doing the parental test already?
With Chang Ji Myung?
You saw that? No.
Then what is that?
I know who Tae Sang's brother, Han Tae Min, is.
I'm pretty sure. I just need to verify that with the test.
How did you find him?
Did you tell Mr. Han?
- I won't tell him. - What?
My brother is laying in the hospital. Why should I find his brother?
Your brother's accident is not Han's fault.
Did you see it?
I think there is a misunderstanding about your brother's accident.
I'm sure that it was not Mr. Han.
Mi Do, has your head not fully recovered?
Who is his brother? Where is he?
If I tell you, you're going to tell Mr. Han aren't you?
Of course, I will tell him.
- You can't mess with his family. - Whose side are you on?
What sides? It's his family.
You know that he wanted to find his brother more than his mother.
Mi Do.
Why are you being like this?
How did you find his brother? Where is he?
I'm going to set up a trap with his brother.
I'm going to make him lose everything he has achieved so far.
Roy Chang's associate said that he couldn't look happier.
It's not easy making the investors happy.
Asia Star's finance team sent e-mails for details.
But something is strange.
- What do you mean? - I can't tell if they want to invest or buy us out.
They want very detailed information.
Also Mr. Lee asked for the list of the board of directors.
I don't know why he needs the board of directors now.
I understand. I will look into it.
Say hi Mi Do. This is Mr. Roy Chang from Asia Star.
Nice to meet you.
This is my girlfriend, Seo Mi Do.
It's an honor to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Please take a seat.
You look familiar, Ms. Seo Mi Do.
- I do? - Yes. You look familiar.
You're not an actress are you?
No.
Mi Do.
You wanted to ask him a question.
What is it?
Do you happen to have any siblings?
I'm an only child.
My father didn't get married again after losing my mother.
Why do you want to know?
Tell him why you want to know that.
I was just asking, because I had nothing to bring up.
Excuse me for a second. Yes?
Is Mr. Chang Ji Myung coming some time soon?
Everyone is so interested in my father.
I should bring him here some time.
Did Mr. Han say anything about Mr. Lee Jae Hee?
No, why?
You don't like your boyfriend?
No, it's not that.
What's wrong?
There was a hot pepper in the sauce.
You can't eat spicy food?
No. It runs in my family.
- My father couldn't eat spicy food either. - He can eat them now?
He still can't eat it.
Sorry my Korean isn't too good.
Excuse me! Bring us more water please.
How did you meet Lee Jae Hee?
I met him overseas then I met him again at the firm.
You worked for the Golden Tree too?
Yes.
Did Mr. Han fire you for dating in the company?
Did you call him Tee Tee?
I saw the picture by chance. I will keep it a secret.
- It's a problem for us from now on. - What are you talking about?
A detective came and asked if I killed someone. He was missing for more than 10 years.
He was suspecting me because he lived near me.
Did you kill him?
No way! All I did was steal some money from a local sauna.
Then why are you so worried?
They are opening old cases with a special team for unsolved cases.
What's wrong? Have you killed someone?
You know that I did.
What you did was self defense. You wouldn't have been here if you had a good lawyer.
What's wrong with your face? Do you really have something else?
I checked again. Nothing was wrong with him.
He needs to wake up to wrap up the case.
He's not doing this out of guilt for the hit-and-run is he?
Maybe he was scared after getting into an accident right after he got out of prison.
The victim is fine. Please wake up.
Detectives, you should leave for now.
Let's go.
Hi.
You want to eat?
I'll have some soju.
[Closed]
How have you been?
I prayed that I would never see you and Tae Min again.
You haven't heard about Tae Min?
A kid like Tae Min came by once.
When?
A customer had a picture of you and him.
He pointed at Tae Min and said that he knew him well. He said that he would bring him.
They came once.
- Was it Tae Min? - I don't know.
You didn't even ask?
I don't even deserve that.
How did you lose him?
It was hard for him and me.
The guilt of leaving our families was too big for both of us.
We had fights often. He even beat me.
I knew that.
On the day I had a fight with him...
Tae Min was crying.
He wanted to go back to you. He ran out looking for you.
He never came back after that.
I thought he went to the playground. But he was gone.
I'd like a bowl of soup. How are you!
Look who it is! The prodigal son returns.
You were coming here?
You know how I like good old beef stew.
Sir. Please let me see Tae Min.
You tried to con me with my brother?
How long were you going to fool me?
Calm down Han Tae Sang. You're going to end up killing me too.
Goo Yong Gap. It's not even worth being angry at you.
Forgive your mother already.
I pitied her when she couldn't even ask if he was her son.
I avenged your mother for you. Be thankful.
Don't ever come here again.
Are you happy to see her?
She ruined your life because she was in love with a man. Can you forgive her?
Take care of the fake Tae Min.
Let's just stay like this for now.
Shoot me with that.
Idiot!
- Chang Hee won't wake up. - He's taking way too long.
He should be passing already.
I want to go to Tae Sang and tell him everything.
You know what Chang Hee is to Tae Sang?
You think Han Tae Sang will forgive you for what you've done to him?
Go!
You will be like that.
You want to mix some meds in Chang Hee's IV?
What meds?
Meds that will make him sleep forever.
I may have made a mistake.
But I'm not such a bastard. Han Tae Sang, Lee Chang Hee, and I may have started low.
We make mistakes sometimes, but we're not that low.
If you couldn't handle it, then you shouldn't have started.
What are you doing?
When Chang Hee wakes up, you will be investigated for embezzlement.
Just make him rest longer. I will get you the meds.
Go!
[Roy Chang and Yoon Hong Ja are biologically related.]
We found him.
We found Tae Sang's brother.
- Are you that happy? - Jae Hee.
Why do you think Chang Ji Myung adopted Han Tae Min?
Why do you think he didn't get married again after getting widowed?
Why do you stay alone loving only Han?
Everyone has his or her decision to make.
When are you going to let me see him? I want to meet him.
What are you planning to do?
I should do what it is that I always do.
You want him instead?
I may have hot blood, but I'm not a bitch that messes with brothers.
I'm looking into Lee Jae Hee.
He went to Stanford.
He doesn't have parents, but he stayed at a nice place in America.
It's going well. The finance team is coming tomorrow.
I canceled all the flights.
Why did you do that?
Because things go wrong when you rush.
This is my project. I will make sure that it goes as it was planned.
And what is that plan?
Isn't it getting an investment?
Please work on that. I trust you.
The finance team can come as scheduled.
I thought Han was making decisions. I heard that he canceled it.
I'm the one in charge for this.
Are you hostile to Han all of a sudden because of a girl?
What gave you that idea?
It just came to me.
You don't want to buy the Golden Tree?
Of course I do.
I want to take it.
Are you really Mr. Chang Ji Myung's son?
- Why do you ask? - You look nothing like him.
I look like my mother.
Yeah!
I have luck coming in.
What are you doing?
Don't do that here! You're going to give us a bad rep!
I had such a good fortune telling.
Welcome.
Mrs. Han is not here?
She will be here soon. Take a seat.
Please give this to her.
They're clothes.
Yes, I thought that she will need to head outside for a good occasion.
- Okay then. - Bye.
She comes here often.
- You think she likes me? - She probably likes me.
Roy. How is Korea?
It's good.
Tell me about your brother.
He's a pitiful man.
He has no one to count on.
Now, he has you.
Why should I help him?
You haven't forgiven him yet?
If I was 17 and had a brother, I would have found my mother and brought him to her.
Roy. You don't know what his life has been like.
You can't say that.
If you're angry at him, that means that you still love your brother.
I hate him and pity him.
You're family. You take care of each other even when you hate each other.
I will get ready to meet my new son.
If he's your brother, then he is my son.
I will protect my brother from Lee Jae Hee.
The place we saw last time was better.
I like it here better.
Which place do you like better?
What's wrong with her? She wants a hard life for herself.
It's a place I used to live in.
I used to say, 'I'm going to school, Mom.'
You grew up here until you were 17?
Yes.
I was happy here.
There is warmth in this neighborhood.
Look! We have a master of energy here.
You guys go ahead.
- I have to do something. - Okay.
Okay.
Yes, is this Genetics Bio Center?
Mr. Han!
What are you doing here?
You weren't answering your phone.
I couldn't hear it because it was so noisy.
- Can I talk to you for a second? - I'm working. I will talk to you later.
Then I will wait here.
