Episode 72
Dad, I'm headed out now.
You should have breakfast first.
I'm not hungry.
Come on. I made some soup for you.
Who is it?
Hello?
It's me. I need to see you.
Make it quick. I'm busy.
You know,
you're going to lose the custody battle.
What?
You know you're going to lose.
You're just trying to dirty my family's name.
You called me out for this?
Last night,
you two were quite a sight.
You're in the middle of a custody battle,
yet you were out with your lawyer,
having a heated lovers' quarrel with him.
My friend, Mr. Kang,
found it quite amusing as well.
Now I see that you're quite the actress.
You act fragile and innocent
as you steal away men's hearts.
What do you think you're doing?
How dare you judge me?
What gives you the right?
What?
Before we were married,
you fooled around with women left and right.
No, you even did it after we were married.
So why did I ever marry you?
Because I believed
that the love you showed me was real.
But when I saw you with Hwayeong,
I knew I was wrong.
You don't know what real love is.
Watch your mouth.
Why? You think this is over?
You think you've already won?
Get over yourself.
I'll never let you two have my son.
You call yourself a father?
You're the worst.
You're incompetent.
You're an abusive cheater and...
You must be out of your mind.
You're totally insane.
Yes, I am insane.
How could I not be?
You, Hwayeong and your mother
are attacking me like a pack of wolves.
You kept the housekeeper from testifying
and then you accused me and Seongbin
of having an affair.
You're all trash.
Complete and total trash.
Should I do the same to you?
I'll tell everyone
about your relationship with Hwayeong.
And I'll tell everyone
the kind of father you've been to Jinwu.
You... You're crazy.
How can one person change so much?
How dare you say that?
Why? Is it amusing?
Are you surprised?
Or are you scared?
Then don't mess with me.
I don't know why you called me out here,
but I'm done holding back.
I'll do the same thing you did to me.
Furthermore, I'm not your wife anymore.
No, you still are.
Our divorce trial isn't over.
So you'll pretend to be a loving husband
while another woman's in your bed?
Be thankful that I haven't
put you in jail for adultery.
Also, from now on, if you want to see me,
call my lawyer.
Does your lawyer know
what a two-faced witch you are?
Yes?
Did you want to see me?
Ms. Lee.
Have you prepped for the party of 12?
Yes.
Oh, good.
Okay, then.
Ms. Lee?
Yes?
What happened with Giseop?
Did you two make up?
I've realized
that the road to love is long and difficult.
It's me.
Dork, how could you
break Ms. Lee's heart like that?
Come apologize right now!
Geez!
Come in.
What is it?
What's this?
It's chili paste.
Are you kidding me right now?
Have you heard about this before?
It's not a "candy kiss." It's a "ring kiss."
It won't rust, even if you put it in your mouth.
Marry me, Jinsuk.
I'll make an honest woman out of you.
Chansik.
It's lovely.
It's so lovely!
I don't know what to say.
Actually...
I found that ring on the street.
What?
I didn't mean to lie.
I gave it to you without thinking,
but you seemed to love it so much.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think things through.
You mean to tell me that
you weren't proposing to me?
I like you.
But I'm not ready for marriage and...
What I meant is that you're still great!
I knew it.
Why would anyone propose to me?
Miranda.
Hey...
I'm sorry, professor.
Miranda... Ms. Lee.
You know what?
I love this ring.
May our love never change.
Do you want to go on a trip?
A trip to seal the deal on our love.
Yes!
But...
It's been kind of a mess at home lately.
Because of Hwayeong?
Yes.
Yeonhui and Byeongguk
are in the middle of divorce proceedings.
And with the grownups all fighting,
no one's been able to look after Jinwu.
Jinwu's been acting strange lately.
What do you mean? Is he sick?
Yes. I think he's emotionally traumatized.
He was sleepwalking before.
Sleepwalking?
On the morning of the court date,
Hwayeong cut up Jinwu's dolls
and Yeonhui's sweater with scissors.
Jinwu was terrified.
After that, his symptoms got worse and...
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
What?
What's Byeongguk doing?
You should've let his mother know.
Goodness!
Did you keep it from Yeonhui too
so that Byeongguk could get custody?
Have you no conscience?
How could you say that?
I heard you kept the housekeeper
from testifying as well.
It doesn't matter if you win custody
if the boy's sick.
If you truly cared about Yeonhui,
why would you keep that from her?
You should take Jinwu to the hospital!
Hey!
Who do you think you are?
You think law school makes you so great?
You didn't even pass the bar exam!
Don't act like you're a lawyer!
Why are you suddenly...
I have no conscience? How so?
I'm worried because I do have a conscience!
What I meant to say was...
I was just worried about the kid and...
Is he your kid? He's my nephew!
I can't stand the sight of Hwayeong,
but I'm playing nice for your sake.
How could you?
Goodness.
Back in the day, I was one tough chick.
So watch it.
Geez.
Oh, no. What will I do?
What will I do?
How is he, doctor?
I thought the medicine would help,
but it hasn't had any effect.
It's looking like reactive attachment disorder.
Reactive attachment disorder?
Yes.
He doesn't respond to questions
and he's nervous and scared.
He's even lost weight.
It's worrisome.
If this continues,
it could become very serious.
Where's his mother?
He's at an age when he still needs his mother.
I'll take good care of him.
I don't mean to be rude,
but to provide the most comfort,
he needs his mother.
There's no cure quite like a mother's love.
I told you I'd take good care of him.
Hwayeong.
Why not? I'm his mom!
Jinwu, welcome home.
Byeongguk went back to the office.
What did the doctor say?
He said Jinwu needs time to heal.
I'll take extra good care of him.
Jinwu, let's go upstairs and change.
I said, let's go.
I'll do it!
- I'm home. / - Welcome back.
What's this?
I don't know. I didn't open it.
Go wash up. I'll get dinner ready.
No, dad. I'll take care of it.
Go wash up.
What's this?
Don't say it's too much.
It wasn't that expensive, so just wear it.
You can't wear just anything
to the company's anniversary party.
Dad, I'm home.
Welcome back.
Yeonhui, I'm home.
What's that?
Is he your kid? He's my nephew!
I can't stand the sight of Hwayeong,
but I'm playing nice for your sake.
How could you?
Goodness.
I must've been crazy.
Why did I say that?
If you cared about Yeonhui,
why wouldn't you tell her that the boy's sick?
You should take Jinwu to the hospital.
Yeah. Right now, this is what's important.
What happened?
I heard you took Jinwu to the hospital today.
Apparently, it will take time for Jinwu to heal.
I think the trial will have to end
in order for Jinwu to feel safe.
What? The trial?
Are you saying that we have to wait
until the trial is over?
You call yourself a father?
Is the trial more important to you than Jinwu?
Aunt Jinsuk, I care about the trial
because I don't want to lose Jinwu.
Does it matter who has him?
Is he some kind of object to you?
His health is the most important thing!
Aunt Jinsuk.
You know better than that.
We're doing our best to...
Hey. Tell me the truth.
What were your intentions?
Was it your plan to intimidate Jinwu
so that he'd stay quiet?
What are you talking about?
What plan?
I wasn't going to tell you this...
Wait...
Your mother didn't tell you?
So you...
Do you know what she did to Jinwu?
Or are you just playing dumb?
What?
Hwayeong went up to Jinwu,
ripped up his drawing and his doll,
broke Yeonhui's hairpin and she even
cut up Yeonhui's sweater with scissors!
Jinwu was traumatized after that!
What kind of father are you?
I can't let you neglect Jinwu any longer.
Rectify this situation now.
Tell me.
What did you do?
You're scaring me, honey.
You'll wake Jinwu. Lower your voice.
Is what Aunt Jinsuk said true?
I only did it because I was angry.
It was never my intention to scare Jinwu.
You know how much I love him.
Yet, you terrified him like that?
- How could you... / - It wasn't my fault.
It was Yeonhui's fault.
I was just trying to help him forget her.
But she left her clothes here on purpose
so that Jinwu would never forget her!
This is killing me.
Honey...
When I see Jinwu in pain,
I feel like it's my fault!
It hurts so bad that I'm losing my mind.
It's not your fault.
It's all Yeonhui's fault!
Let's stay strong.
It'll all be over soon.
Afterwards, we can take Jinwu on a trip.
He said he wanted to see the ocean.
Honey...
30-Year Company Anniversary Party
Hello.
Attorney Tarzan.
You made it!
Oh.
I thought you'd come in a leopard-print outfit.
like Tarzan, but you came in a tux!
I thought that'd be too sexy.
Too sexy?
What are you doing here?
I'm sort of the corporate lawyer here.
Please go inside.
Are they...
Yes.
Oh my... They're shameless!
How could they?
Yeonhui!
I'm sorry. Am I late?
Wow! You're gorgeous!
Hello, President Bang.
Good to see you.
Hello, Mr. Lee!
- President Lee. / - Good to see you.
I only ever seem to see you at parties.
I know what you mean. Have you been well?
Yes.
He's president of the Clean Water Foundation.
- Nice to meet you. / - Likewise.
You're quite amazing.
Not at all.
Excuse me for a moment, Yeonhui.
Yeonhui has to meet someone.
I see.
Sir!
Happy 30-year anniversary!
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
Thanks, Myeongun.
Who is this lovely lady beside you?
Hello.
I'm Baek Yeonhui from Education Services.
The Education Service Team?
You don't recognize her?
She recently won our
new product idea contest.
She is that Baek Yeonhui.
I'm sorry that I didn't know.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Hello, sir.
It's nice to see you.
This is my fiance,
President Jeong Byeongguk of YN.
By the way,
have you met Baek Yeonhui?
She's the daughter of the former CEO of HS.
She's Baek Cheol's eldest daughter.
Oh, right.
I've seen her at a New Year's Eve party.
And right now,
she's going through a divorce with
President Jeong Byeongguk.
What are you saying?
I feel so bad for President Jeong.
He used to think he had
the world's sweetest and most innocent wife.
But she betrayed him.
She lived with another man
and even had his child, but she kept it a secret
and shamelessly got married anyways.
What kind of man could forgive that?
You should keep private matters private.
We don't need to stay here, Yeonhui.
Let's go.
No. Finish what you were saying.
Lee Hwayeong.
Tell everyone how you seduced my husband.
Tell them what you two did behind my back.
Tell them you were
my son's surrogate mother.
Surrogate?
You're a surrogate
who thinks my son is yours.
You're a shameless lunatic.
You're the one who's unforgivable, not me.
You thought you could humiliate me?
Give it your best shot.
No matter what people say about me,
I couldn't care less.
But no matter what you try,
you'll never take my son from me.
My apologies.
Yeonhui!
That's enough, Ms. Lee!
What?
You're her legal counsel at parties too?
What do you hope to achieve with this?
It'll only humiliate you!
Leave her be.
You can't reason with a lunatic.
Watch your tongue.
Why? Who do you think you are?
Since you live with this crazy lunatic
and let her do as she pleases,
you're crazy too!
You say you two will raise my son?
Don't be ridiculous.
That will never happen!
What makes you so sure?
What makes you so sure? Murderer!
If I'm a murderer,
you are too.
You better stop.
You're a monster.
You're a deceitful, thieving monster.
Lee Hwayeong. Listen closely.
I will not let a monster raise my son.
I will drag you down.
I'll make sure you go to prison!
Shut up.
You shut up, Mr. Jeong.
If you want to stay as Jinwu's father,
get your act together!
If you don't want to be remembered
as the man who left his wife for a surrogate,
then start getting your act together!
What did you say?
Now we're even.
Yeonhui.
Don't come closer.
Don't come. Don't come any closer.
Please leave me alone.
Yeonhui.
I'm sorry.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
You've done nothing wrong.
Let's stop.
I...
I don't want you to get hurt for my sake.
What are you talking about?
I haven't been hurt at all.
I'm bad luck.
Donghyeon died because of me.
My dad... My mom...
Byeongguk feels betrayed because of me.
So...
You should stay away from me.
Let go.
I need you to trust me.
We'll win this trial
and we'll get Jinwu back.
Trust me.
Don't run from me anymore.
What were you thinking?
Well?
You took me on purpose, didn't you?
Why did you bring me up to Yeonhui
in front of all those people?
I didn't plan anything.
I only went because I was invited.
Don't lie to me!
You think I wouldn't know?
You knew from the start.
You knew Yeonhui would be at the party.
What were you hoping to achieve?
I wanted to make our relationship official.
I don't like how Yeonhui gets to
gallivant with her lawyer
while we get judged for being together.
Do you think now is the best time?
Do you care about Jinwu at all?
Yeonhui's the one who doesn't care at all.
You saw how she was earlier.
She put on a dress and went to a party
instead of caring for Jinwu.
Whatever your reasons are,
don't ever embarrass me like that again.
I already have enough to deal with as is!
I'm sorry.
Do you hate me now?
Sora, what are you doing? Come and eat.
Yeah, come and eat.
I'm not hungry.
- You're really not going to eat? / - Yeah.
I have a team project, so I have to go.
Still, you can't go on an empty stomach.
Yeah, have one bite.
Bye.
Geez.
Sora's acting more strangely by the day.
She seemed fine for a bit,
but now she barely talks and she looks tired.
Don't you agree, Chansik?
What? Yeah.
What will we do?
Shik, what if Sora
becomes a bad kid because of all this?
She'll be fine.
Actually, that might be a normal reaction.
One night, all of a sudden, she finds out
that she isn't her mom's real daughter.
She was adopted.
If that didn't affect her at all,
that'd be much stranger.
You're the one who's strange.
How so?
3 bowls of rice for breakfast isn't normal!
Of course it's strange!
Stop hounding me over how much I eat.
You always do this to me.
Sora.
What time will you be done today?
Come home early.
I want to take you somewhere nice.
Okay.
I love you, dear.
Ssangsun.
Make some kimbap after you're done.
Why?
You, too, Shik.
Don't make plans since we all have the day off.
What are you saying?
Let's take Sora on a picnic.
What else is family for?
We need to stick together
and show her that we're all one.
If she was born into a better family,
she'd be able to take vacations overseas.
Poor Sora.
When the new product comes out,
teach the planners how it's used.
Give them a brief introduction.
You want me to give a lecture?
I'm not confident in my public speaking skills.
Why not?
From what I can tell,
you're great with men and women.
You're chic and elegant.
The planners are going to love you.
I have to talk to you.
Let's meet up.
Who's that? Tarzan?
Yeah.
What do you think?
Of what?
You know how he feels about you, right?
Are you just pretending like you don't know?
Be straight with him.
Giving him mixed signals
will only hurt him more in the end.
Sit.
I brought you some side dishes.
I knew you'd be too busy to eat.
All you need now is some rice.
Thank you.
Yeonhui...
I have something to tell you first.
Mr. Lee,
I'll pretend like yesterday never happened.
Given the circumstances,
I can understand why you did what you did.
Yeonhui, that's...
Until I get Jinwu back,
I can't think about anything else.
I can't focus on anything else.
So let's forget about what happened.
No. How can I forget?
It's still such a clear memory.
I can't get you out of my mind,
so how can I forget it?
Mr. Lee.
When will you stop pushing me away?
Do you really not know how I feel?
No. I don't know and I don't want to know.
Yeonhui.
Even if I knew, why would it matter?
If we start a relationship,
it'll only make our case more vulnerable.
This is about us, not the trial.
I am not available.
Baek Yeonhui is not available.
All I care about right now
is being Jinwu's mother.
Where did you adopt Sora from?
I'm the only mother Sora has.
Sora, Lee Hwayeong's sister,
isn't her real sister?
The asset allocation and alimony payments
can't get any better under these terms.
What do you think you're doing?
Until I get Jinwu back,
I'll keep fighting you in court.
I won't give up until I win,
so don't do this again.
What's wrong with Jinwu?
Let go of me! Jinwu!
- Get out. / - Jinwu!
Let go of me!
Jinwu's not well.
Since the adults are always fighting,
I think Jinwu's been traumatized.
He probably visited the psychologist today.
He has somnambulism.
Mom, I miss you.
Please come back...
