You're such a cute baby.
You can't take him!
Let me go!
Min Soo!
Let go!
Min Soo!
Were those Min Soo's baby clothes?
They were.
I made it for him when I lived in Hapcheon with Min Soo's dad.
It had a wrap too.
They took that when they took him.
It fit him perfectly then.
It's too small for him now.
I wonder how tall he is.
He's 36 now.
He's older than his dad was when we were separated.
I wonder what he's like.
Miss!
Why do I feel so nervous?
I feel like something's going to happen.
Isn't that my doctor?
It is.
He must be just getting to work.
What is it?
Wait.
You said you were going to your hometown.
So this is Yoon Bok Hee's hometown.
It's a small world.
It's someone else's hometown too.
Madam Chairwoman...
I think we found Min Soo.
What?
What are you talking about?
When we were in your hometown, I saw the doctor in front of the hotel.
I think he came in Choi Eun Ok's car.
And he said the person he went there with was also from your hometown.
What?
Then...
That means Choi Eun Ok and the doctor know each other.
Let's go.
Let's ask him where that woman is.
Please wait.
She might not want to see you.
You should approach him carefully.
You're right.
If she raised Min Soo as her own, she won't be too happy
if his mother shows up out of the blue.
Okay.
Let's go.
You haven't been doing your homework.
You must do it to train your brain.
The chairwoman went to the country.
She's been busy.
I heard you saw Dong Soo there.
I'm sorry we didn't get to say hello.
So that's your hometown?
Yes.
What were you doing somewhere so far away?
I went to get some fresh air.
Alone?
You didn't go with a girl?
No!
I don't have a girlfriend.
I went with the top person at this hospital.
I went to lobby a little to get more money for the hospital.
This top person is...
The chairperson of this hospital.
What's the chairperson's name?
Pardon?
It might be someone the chairwoman knows.
They're probably around the same age.
I see.
You could be friends.
She's from there as well.
And her name is...
Choi Eun Ok.
Do you know her?
No, we've never heard the name before.
Do you know her?
No.
I've never heard the name before.
You probably wouldn't know.
She lived in the U.S. for a long time.
I'm going to give you a prescription.
Make sure you pick up your medication.
Are you all right?
Now... where do we find that woman?
She'll be at the Daewu Group's headquarters.
Let's go... to wherever she is.
Where are you going?
I'm here to meet the chair of the board.
Chairwoman Choi Eun Ok.
Is she here?
Do you have an appointment?
No, but...
Tell her this.
Tell her Yoon Bok Hee's here to see her.
She'll know.
What time is Mr. Kim's son's wedding?
At 12. Why?
Are you going?
Just send a gift.
Is that how you do business?
Sung Ho's approached them too.
This is a good opportunity to score points.
I understand.
I'll have them bring the car around.
We'll leave in 20 minutes.
What is it?
You have a visitor in the lobby.
Visitor?
Who?
Ms. Yoon Bok Hee.
Who?
Ms. Yoon Bok Hee.
What would you like me to do?
I don't know her.
Send her away.
Mom, are you okay?
Who is she?
You look as pale as a ghost.
I said I don't know her.
Yes, I'll take care of it.
She said she doesn't know you.
It can't be.
You're wrong.
She knows me.
Call her back.
Madam Chairwoman.
Tell her a Yoon Bok Hee from her hometown is here to see her.
Never mind.
What floor?
What floor is that woman on?
I'll go up myself.
Look, lady...
Tell me!
Madam Chairwoman.
It's useless.
There's no way she forgot who you are.
She's avoiding you.
Really?
She's avoiding me?
Then I have no choice, but to wait here.
Let's hurry.
I want to see the groom before the ceremony.
Don't worry.
We'll get there in plenty of time.
Who are you?
Move.
I don't know why you're doing this, but...
I'm sure the chairperson knows why. Right, Eun Ok?
No matter how much time has passed
I'm sure neither of us can forget the other's name.
Am I wrong?
It'd take all night to talk about the past 36 years.
What will it be?
Should we do it right here in front of everyone?
Mom, who's this woman?
Why is she being so rude?
Be quiet.
I always knew you were shameless.
I see you haven't changed.
Let's go to my office.
Mom.
Go to the wedding alone.
I hope you didn't get the wrong idea.
I wasn't trying to avoid you.
I didn't recognize you.
I really didn't, Yoon Bok Hee.
You've changed so much.
Your face tells me what your life's been like.
You know that time treats everyone the same.
There's nothing left of the beauty who stole my man 36 years ago.
But you're not here to show me how you've aged.
What do you want?
You know the reason.
I don't have to tell you why I'm here.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Do we still have things to talk about?
Eun Ok!
If you had any decency at all, you wouldn't be here.
Don't you know what you did to me?
The pain you caused me?
That was 36 years ago.
I was very young then.
The only thing I did wrong was to fall in love with a man.
Did you ever think about who that man was?
My father saved you when you had nowhere to go!
He gave you food and a roof over your head.
But you stole his daughter's man!
So what?
Haven't you done enough to punish me?
You ripped my heart into pieces.
Wasn't it enough to take him and my child from me?
I didn't take anything from you!
Should we see who did what?
You ruined my entire life.
What does that mean?
What did I do to you?
You married that man and moved to the States!
That man?
We divorced 20 years ago.
The reason?
You!
That's right.
Because of you!
I was miserable during our entire marriage because
he couldn't forget you.
He didn't go to you?
Eun Ok...
I thought he'd happily run to you as soon as I gave him a divorce.
I guess he had a shred of decency in him.
I didn't know.
I really had no idea.
I thought you were happy together.
That's what I thought.
Now you know why I can't ever forgive you.
No matter how much time has passed
sitting across from you still upsets me to the core!
Now leave!
Eun Ok.
Our conversation isn't over.
There's something we have to talk about.
What happened?
If you divorced him, then what happened to my son, Min Soo?
You took him.
You had someone take him from me when he was only three months old.
Where is he?
Where?
Did he take him?
You raised him, but when you divorced him, he took him?
Is that what happened?
It is. Isn't it?
You have it totally wrong.
Why would you think I raised that child?
I never laid eyes on that child or raised him.
What... does that mean?
It's true that my parents took the boy from you.
But why would I raise my husband's illegitimate child?
I'd see your face every time I looked at that child.
Why would I put myself through that kind of hell?
Then... why did you take him from me?
Why did you take him if you weren't going to raise him?
So you couldn't use the child as an excuse to approach my husband.
That's... that's... the reason you took him?
That was the only reason?
That's right.
That was the only reason.
What did you do with him?
What did you do with my poor baby?
Who did you leave him with?
What did you do with him?
Where is he?
I don't know.
I heard that my parents gave him away.
It was for the best.
With you, he would've grown up without a father.
It's better that he met good parents...
How dare you?
Get out of this room right now!
I don't ever want to see you again!
I'll say one thing before I go.
You're not even human.
Gave him away?
His mother was very much alive.
I've lived with a void in my heart after you took him from me.
Did you think you'd never have to pay for it?
Get out!
I'll find my child no matter what it takes.
If I find anything wrong with him, I won't leave you alone!
Madam Chairwoman...
You're not even human.
Gave him away?
How could you do something like that?
Mom?
Is something going on?
What?
Nothing's going on.
Really?
Then why are you shaking your butt?
And you're blushing like a new bride.
Really?
I just got hot cooking.
That's not it.
You're acting very suspicious.
And you and Dad have been disappearing every night...
That's a big secret between just the two of us.
This is a feast for breakfast!
I wanted the family to eat well, so I went all out.
Try this.
Pork is better than any of these other side dishes.
It's okay.
You eat.
Just try some.
I noticed last night that you could you use a little help.
Honey, you have something to say to those two. Don't you?
Right.
Shasha, why put it off?
You two should register your marriage.
What?
Register our marriage?
Ki Nam!
Thank you.
When your elders say something, you go along with it.
Yes.
Ha Pil, you're our lucky charm.
This is something to be celebrated.
And we might get a big investment and make a lot of money.
Awesome.
Hey, Ko Young Chae.
You're still here?
Were you fired?
Not at all.
They keep sending me on stupid errands
so I redid my designs to show them.
So you weren't there as a designer?
Don't get me started.
I practically lived at the fabric market this week.
They didn't like anything I bought for one reason or another.
Don't keep your head down.
Face them head on today.
What does that mean?
They're really hard on interns to keep them meek and obedient.
You'll suffer forever if you let them think you're soft.
Show them that you have a temper.
What if she gets fired?
She's this good.
They wouldn't do that.
Right.
Show them I have a temper.
Let's have breakfast!
Mom!
You scared me.
What?
We just had breakfast.
Mom, what's the matter with you?
You've been totally out of it lately.
You're always losing things.
People might think you have dementia.
Pull yourself together.
Be quiet! Go to work!
I guess it's true that when you think you've hit rock bottom
you see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Ki Nam's so happy that we'll be able to pay off our debts
if we get that investment.
So?
Did you make up your mind?
I just turned in my application.
Hoon Nam!
I gave it a lot of thought before I decided.
You made the right decision.
You did.
Let's promise each other one thing.
As you said, let's forget the past and focus on work.
I already told you.
I'm over you.
You're not my ex-boyfriend anymore.
You're just a business partner.
Can you do it?
This is a very important opportunity for us.
We can't lose it.
I'm going to try to be objective like you suggested
in order to get it.
I still can't give it up
even if the both of us end up getting hurt.
Don't complicate things.
You do your job and I'll do mine.
Here.
[Spa Brand Customer Preference Survey]
What's this?
I'll know you'll get through the first stage.
This data will help you with stage two.
We will judge designs in stage two.
A lot of good companies applied.
You'll have to find a good designer.
If you don't have anyone, I can look into it for you.
It's okay.
I don't want to owe you for anything.
I'll handle it.
Thanks for giving me this chance.
Do you know what was hardest for me
after what my mom put you through?
It's the fact that we loved each other.
But it pained me that every time you thought of me
all you'd remember was the hurt I caused you.
If this project goes well for you
you might not remember me as your ex-girlfriend
but will you remember me as a good friend?
That's my goal, so I'll help you in any way I can.
So just take my help.
Friends don't do things like this.
You can't ever leave me.
Or I'll become a ghost and follow you around forever.
Don't you ever think of leaving me.
You're mine now.
A lot of good companies applied.
You'll have to find a good designer.
Coffee for everyone!
Here's your coffee!
What's this?
Hey, how many times do I have to tell you that
I don't take sugar in my coffee?
I'm sorry.
Do you want me to get you another cup?
Never mind.
Mr. Jang.
What's this?
I stayed up all night designing these.
Will you take a look?
That was sneaky!
Who told you to design anything?
Mr. Kim...
You still have a long way to go.
So go back to the fabric market and make another swatch book.
This is just too much.
I know that you were the designer here for a long time.
But why do you think they hired a new one?
They want young blood.
Let's be honest.
You're a bit old, so if you'd just accept my younger point of...
Come with me.
Wait! I'm not done talking.
I just can't take this.
It's that again. Isn't it?
Sit down.
I can't take it anymore.
I'm not here to get you coffee!
I can take the low salary
but I need to be excited about work in order to work hard.
All you do is send me on errands to the market and factory.
I'm not a servant.
Ko Young Chae.
And why's everyone so bossy here?
That's why the company doesn't grow.
I've been bringing in new designs every day.
No one's even looked at it.
Shut up and sit down.
You'll never get ahead if you don't change.
Seniority shouldn't matter.
One's talent is what really counts...
You think very little of our company. Don't you?
What?
These are your designs. Aren't they?
Yes, did you look at them?
We all took a look at them.
This is the conclusion we came to.
What are you doing?
Do you think putting together copies of expensive brands will sell?
What?
How did you know that?
Go to Dongdaemun!
It's already all over the place!
Do you think we don't do any market research?
Ko Young Chae, we send you to the fabric market and
the factory so you can figure out the market quickly.
You have no hope if you didn't know that.
Ah, so that's...
It's hard enough as it is.
If you're going to keep this up, stop hurting the company.
Just quit.
I must have been wrong to think I had glimpsed some talent in Cebu.
The clothes have a much younger look!
He'll send you an order soon.
Really?
It'd take all night to talk about the past 36 years.
What will it be?
Should we do it right here in front of everyone?
Did you want to see me?
You look well.
Happy after stealing Angel Fund from me?
Jang Ho, I already told you.
You're my only brother.
I'm grateful to you.
So let's drop the subject.
Is that why you wanted to see me?
What did you talk about in the country with Mom?
Have you heard of a person named Yoon Bok Hee?
How do you know about her?
So I was right.
She's Dad's old girlfriend. Isn't she?
You knew about it?
You know how much Mom and Dad used to fight when we were little.
They used to fight every day.
I hated listening to them fight.
I used to put a blanket over my head and cry.
Why are you bringing her up all of a sudden?
I saw her in the lobby today.
She came looking for Mom.
What?
And?
Did she see Mom?
Mom couldn't say anything to her.
Did Mom do something to her?
I don't know.
Anyway, Mom doesn't like talking about her.
So don't say anything.
Jang Ho, let me ask you for a favor.
What?
You said you hated listening to Mom and Dad fight, didn't you?
Me too.
So, if you don't want Ji Woo to go through that, be nice to Da Jung.
What?
There's no one like her.
Stop cheating on her.
That...
She's just frustrating.
But there's no one as innocent as her.
I didn't do anything for her birthday and she didn't even complain.
I'll be nice to her to keep the peace in the family.
Manager Kim!
Did you call for me?
I feel like having lamb for dinner.
You know the place I like?
Make reservations at seven for three people.
Three people?
I'm going to take my wife and Ji Woo to dinner.
Okay.
It's me.
I'll send the car at six.
Come to La Vita with Ji Woo.
I'll buy you dinner.
Yes.
We can watch an animated movie with Ji Woo afterward.
I told you.
Let's both try hard.
He wants to take his family out to dinner?
Sorry, Ma'am, but I can't allow that.
Is this La Vita?
I'm President Lee's secretary.
I want to make reservations for seven tonight.
For two people.
Can you get a bottle of your best wine ready, please?
Here.
We're going to take a very important test now.
A... a test?
That's right.
Number one, do you have a girlfriend?
Girlfriend?
You mean a girl I like?
That's right.
You're very smart.
What's her name?
Name?
Jessica!
What's she like?
Pretty!
Her name is Jessica.
Say it in English.
Jessica is beautiful.
You're smart just like your mom!
Remember that one.
Girls love hearing it.
Okay?
Sorry to bother you.
What is it, Da Jung?
His dad wants us to come out to dinner.
We might catch a cartoon afterward too.
Hurray!
You want me to end class early today?
That's good for me too.
Okay then.
30 more minutes then.
I'm going to get ready.
I made dinner reservations and bought the movie tickets.
You should leave in 30 minutes.
Thanks.
You can go home early today.
What?
Do you have something to say?
Well...
It's nothing.
I'll tell you later.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Now I'm curious.
Tell me.
Is something on your mind?
Actually, it's my birthday today.
Mine is two days after your wife's.
You didn't know. Did you?
Really?
I'm sorry.
I hoped to celebrate my last birthday of my 20s by having dinner with you.
Your family is in the States.
You're here alone.
You'll be lonely.
Oh, well.
I don't want to celebrate with anyone else.
I'll just have a drink alone.
Who knows?
Another handsome president might take me away.
That drink!
I'll have it with you.
I see my wife every day.
Cancel my dinner.
Would that be okay?
I feel bad for your wife.
Wow!
You look so pretty.
Pork Belly, you look lovely.
Do I look okay?
You do!
Anyone would think you're still single.
You married so well that you don't even age.
No one would think you have a kid.
Let's go.
I'll drop you off at the bus stop.
Thanks.
Let's go!
Hold on.
It's your dad.
Hi, honey.
We're about to leave...
Really?
Okay.
It's not your fault.
Okay.
What did Dad say?
I'm sorry.
A meeting came up.
He can't make dinner.
It's so unfair!
Ji Woo!
Ji Woo.
Hey, Da Jung, you're all dressed up anyway.
Why don't we go out for noodles?
That's all I can afford.
You get the movie tickets.
We're here, Ji Woo!
It's been months since I've been to a place like this.
I haven't stepped foot in Cheongdang Dong ever since Mom went broke.
Enjoy dinner.
We had reservations anyway.
My treat tonight.
Yay!
Can I order two things?
I don't see your reservations.
Really?
Did he already cancel it?
We can show you to another table.
Let's go.
Is this table all right?
Oh, yes, great.
Sit down!
I haven't been to a nice restaurant in a long time.
Girls used to take advantage of me at places like this all the time before.
Hey!
Ji Woo's here.
And if you know that now, please grow up.
I did grow up.
I live on ramen noodles and kimbap now.
You're going to make me cry.
Eat whatever you want tonight.
Ji Woo, what should we have?
What should I order?
Dad's not here. Should we have pasta?
Hey!
What is it?
Did you see a ghost or something?
Yes.
What is it?
Wait!
Let's go.
Ji Woo, I don't like this place. Let's go somewhere else.
What? Why?
Hey!
Be quiet.
Hey!
You too.
Let's go.
My purse!
What's wrong with you?
Da Jung...
They're probably having a dinner meeting.
Ji Woo.
I'm really touched by what you did today.
Touched?
To be honest, I wonder what I'm doing.
If it's okay to be nothing, but a shadow in a man's life.
I felt very troubled.
But after what you did today for me, I know that it's worth it.
That was nothing.
I'm amazed by you every day.
You know what my mom's like.
She expects more than I can give.
It drives me crazy.
If not for you, I wouldn't be here today.
Thanks.
You'll always stay with me. Won't you?
Drink it.
You must be upset.
What about Ji Woo?
I put him to bed.
Try not to be too upset.
They probably went to eat during their meeting...
This... is my life.
I'm embarrassed.
Da Jung.
Don't say anything to my dad.
He thinks I'm the most happily married woman in the world.
Don't worry.
I know how to keep my mouth shut.
I'm such a loser.
I don't know how to do anything.
That's why everyone thinks I'm so insignificant.
What a stupid thing to say.
You're really smart.
You're great.
Don't you remember?
When we had treasure hunts in middle school, you always won.
And that's not it.
You were the sweetest girl.
You were the only one who'd hang out with my crazy sister.
You were an angel without wings.
Be strong.
No matter how you slice it, she's just his secretary.
You're the mother of his heir.
Oh Da Jung, keep fighting.
Let's teach that secretary a lesson.
Hoon Nam, you need to go to the office.
What is it?
Everyone went home, but the lights are on.
What are you talking about?
I'm really scared.
There was a robbery at the neighborhood market last week.
Ki Nam, you stay here.
Hoon Nam!
Young Yi must have been mistaken.
Let's go.
Okay.
If you're going to keep this up, stop hurting the company.
Just quit.
Hold on.
Hold still.
This should stop the bleeding.
It hurts.
It shouldn't hurt.
Did you get a nose job?
No, it's my nose.
Right.
You couldn't still be this ugly if you'd had your nose done.
There.
It stopped bleeding. Didn't it?
That's amazing.
I thought you'd gone home. What are you doing back here?
Let's go.
Get your things and come out.
Where are we going?
It's the right way. Isn't it?
Banpo Townhouse.
What?
Yes, it is.
Just drop me off here.
You don't have to take me all the way home.
No way.
You even had a nosebleed.
If you collapse from fatigue, the company's liable.
I promise not to collapse.
Just drop me off here.
Hey, lady!
Stop fussing and take a nap.
I'll let you know when we get there.
But...
Take a nap!
It's really okay.
It really is.
Hi, Mom!
Do you know what time it is?
Where are you?
I'll be home soon.
I'm right in front of the house.
That dork!
He brought me all the way here.
Where did he go?
You're up.
What kind of woman falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow?
You were even snoring.
I was?
I snored?
Oh, no!
Here.
What's this?
Vitamins and an energy drink.
Take them tonight.
I don't want another nosebleed tomorrow.
What is it?
Did you get another nosebleed?
No.
This is the first time I've gotten something like this from a guy.
What?
All the guys I've dated until now only wanted things from me.
I used to buy them dinners and drinks.
I gave them spending money.
I even paid rent for one guy.
Thanks.
I'm sorry about what I said before.
One of the reasons I hired you was because I could pay you very little.
But there was another reason too.
I... haven't forgotten about what you did in Cebu.
You're the one who made that show happen.
I knew that you could shine if you wanted it badly enough.
I have faith in you.
But I got mad because you keep disappointing me.
What is it this time?
No one... has ever said that to me before.
That I can shine.
That they had faith in me.
No one's ever said that to me before.
That's so sad.
Can I really shine?
You have faith in me?
That's right!
So do your job right!
I said what I wanted to say.
Go home.
What?
Aren't you going home?
Go home.
Right.
Home.
Your jacket.
Go on.
I want to make sure you get in okay.
It's okay!
You go ahead.
It's right here.
My house.
Okay.
Don't be late tomorrow!
I won't.
He's so awesome!
You fell for him?
Wake up!
He has a girl.
How am I supposed to get home?
I hope I didn't miss the last bus.
She forgot something again?
She's really scatterbrained.
Lee Beom Suh moved to the States.
He has no contacts in the country.
We're asking around in the Korean-American community.
We should be able to find him.
Anything on Choi Eun Ok?
Yes.
They did get divorced 20 years ago as she claims.
They had a son and a daughter.
They both work at the company.
She has a son?
How old is he?
He was born in 1979.
There's a photo of him in the file.
Mom, who's this woman?
Why is she being so rude?
He's about the right age.
Then could he... be my... Min Soo?
Subtitles by K B F D SBS
Be careful!
I can't end it like this with Hoon Nam.
Please give me another chance.
Ji Woo's mother?
Over here.
Yes, she's my secretary.
Aren't you going back to work?
He has a birth mark.
Ms. Yoon Bok Hee?
You know my name?
[To be continued]
