Who is it?
It's Lee Myeongun.
Episode 67
Attorney Lee.
Hello.
What're you here for? You didn't even call.
I was in the neighborhood, so I stopped by.
Something smells great.
May I stay for dinner, President Baek?
Of course.
- Yeonhui. / - Yes, dad.
Are things going well?
It'll all work out.
If it doesn't at first, I'll make it work out.
- Help yourself. / - Thank you.
Today, Child Services probably went to
Byeongguk's residence, right?
Have you seen the report?
No, not yet.
Don't worry. It'll all work out.
This is great.
Who made this?
My dad.
Really?
Sir, you could open up a restaurant.
Yeah?
It'd be free for you forever.
I eat quite a lot, though.
It didn't seem like you ate much.
Are you worried?
Yeah.
Even so, you need to eat.
You need strength in order to win this fight.
Okay.
When was the last time you smiled?
What?
When was the last time you smiled?
That's why you should smile.
It'll give you the strength to bring Jinwu back.
Okay.
I will now begin a strength exercise.
Follow me.
One, two, one, two.
What are you doing?
In an effort to cheer you up,
I'm making a fool of myself.
Now, follow me.
One, two, one, two.
Three, two, three, four.
One...
I think my tooth is about to fall out.
Chuja, it hurts.
You have no right to complain.
What do you mean?
Just forget it.
If I'd held back, this could've been avoided.
It's my fault for letting you egg me on.
I egged you on?
How can you say that to me?
After sticking up for you and your daughter,
I almost got my tooth knocked out.
You should be thanking me. How could you?
Mom, Ms. Lee. Stop it.
I get scared when you two fight.
Uncle.
You're here! Have you had dinner?
Yes.
Sit.
I heard you went to my boss's house.
It came up. Why did you go there?
Hwayeong was kicked out of that house, so...
Even so... What's your problem?
Act your age for once.
You can't just barge into someone's
house like a thug,
break things and rip their hair out.
Can't you just think for once?
Can't you do that for me and Hwayeong?
What?
I know Hwayeong's not officially married yet,
but she was living there.
She's basically a part of their family.
They're pretty much our in-laws.
How could you do something so violent?
Violent?
Well, what else would you call it?
You're always hitting me too.
How can a woman be so violent?
Fine. I'm violent! So what?
Are you blind?
Can't you see that Ssangsun and I are hurt?
Do you think we went to that house
and beat ourselves up?
They hit us too!
Yeah, Chansik!
You're too much!
No matter how it went down,
if our faces are this badly bruised,
you should be asking if we're all right
and buying us some bandages!
After listening to that she-devil,
you come home and blame us?
This isn't because of what Ms. Jeong said.
Then what is it?
Why are you acting like this?
Do you have any idea
what that family thinks of us?
That woman called Hwayeong
a lowlife for being their surrogate.
And then she told me
that we're worse than dogs.
It's bad enough that
I was too poor to send my kids to college,
but she kept rubbing it in my face.
What? They're pretty much our in-laws?
You moron!
I know you're in love,
but how can you say that?
Of all the people in Korea,
who would say that to their in-laws? Who?
Mom.
Hey, you better snap out of it too!
Don't even dream about living there anymore.
You're better than that.
Why would you move in with those lunatics?
I told you from the start.
Don't interfere in my affairs.
What?
This is my business.
Whether they're lunatics or not,
I will deal with them.
So mom, go apologize.
What? Apologize?
Oh, I can't believe this!
Ssangsun!
I can't believe you're my daughter.
How can my own brother
and daughter turn on me like this?
Oh, I can't believe this!
Hwayeong, what's wrong with you?
You think this is okay?
Stay out of this.
What?
I don't need you.
I don't need any of you.
Mom, don't cry.
Oh, I can't believe this!
Don't cry.
You fool!
You're a fool!
The biggest fool I've ever known!
You want to be treated like scum that much?
It'd be better if you were dead!
Chuja!
Just die!
Oh, goodness.
Huija, take your medicine.
Tomorrow, tell Mr. Kim
to go down to the station to press charges.
Huija.
Didn't you hear me?
I heard what you said,
but assault charges go both ways.
According to the housekeeper,
you didn't just sit there, you hit them back.
In that case, you're both liable.
If you press charges,
you don't think they'll take action?
They'll countersue you for sure.
Who'll be ruined then?
If you're not careful,
you'll end up on the news.
We're in the middle of Byeongguk's divorce
and a custody battle.
Do you really want to do this?
I'm just so angry.
It's like they're not even human.
You better snap out of it too.
Keep in mind that the chef is just the same.
All those lowlives live under
the same roof together.
What did you expect?
Don't you realize it?
He's only after your money!
Ow, my head!
My head is throbbing.
How will I punish that family?
How's mother, Aunt Jinsuk?
Go see her.
Jinwu.
What's he...
Jinwu.
What will we do with you?
Jinwu.
By chance, did you see grandma
fighting with those old ladies?
Sometimes, even grownups fight when
they don't agree on something.
You know that, don't you?
Grandma Jinsuk.
I miss Baek Yeonhui.
What?
Jinwu, what did you say just now?
Baek Yeonhui.
What?
Aunt Jinsuk
Hello?
Mom!
Jinwu? It's mommy.
Mom.
Yeah?
Mom, you're not my mom?
What? What are you saying?
I'm not you're mom?
She said you're not my mom.
You're Baek Yeonhui
and my mom is Lee Hwayeong.
No, Jinwu. That's not true.
I'm your mom.
I have to go.
If grandma and Ms. Lee find out,
I'll be trouble!
Jinwu. Jinwu!
Jinwu!
The recipient is unavailable...
It's me.
Why'd you call me so late?
Let me see Jinwu right now.
What?
Did something happen at the house?
What are you teaching him?
He just called me Baek Yeonhui!
Baek Yeonhui?
Not "mom." He called me "Baek Yeonhui."
He said Lee Hwayeong's his mom.
Jinwu's still a child.
Not only did she tell him that she birthed him,
but what?
Now, she's teaching him to call her "mom"?
Calm down.
Hwayeong's been saying
that for a while now.
She says she gave birth to him
and that she's his mom.
So? Do you feel the same way?
Is that why you got together with her?
Because you think she's Jinwu's mom?
No matter what Hwayeong says,
you're Jinwu's mom.
Let me see Jinwu.
It's late. Go home.
Let me see Jinwu right now!
You won visitation rights already,
why're you being so impatient?
Wait until your designated day.
You can see him then.
You better snap out of it too.
Keep in mind that the chef is just the same.
All those lowlives lived under
the same roof together.
What did you expect?
Oh, geez!
This is a symbol of my love.
Like this fresh and beauitful flower,
it expresses my pure love for you.
Jeong Jinsuk is mine from now on!
If you lay a finger on her, I'll kill you!
What... What are you doing?
Chansik, do you love me?
I love you.
What will I do?
Are you still up?
I miss you and I feel awful about my sister.
I'm sorry. I'll apologize on her behalf.
I'm sorry, too.
I think...
We should reconsider our relationship.
The recipient is unavailable...
I waited all day
and still Miranda's not coming.
Not Miranda, I meant customers.
I was waiting for customers, not Miranda.
Or is it Miranda?
No. It's customers.
Or is it Miranda?
Ms. Baek, the picture came out great.
Next time, let's take Jinwu biking.
Why aren't you sleeping yet?
Who are you texting at this hour?
Is it your boyfriend?
No, Hwayeong. It's just a friend.
Let me see. Give it to me.
Oh, Sora!
It's me, Ms. Yeonhui. You sent me a photo.
What's this? Who are you calling?
How do you have her number?
Don't get mad, Hwayeong.
I ran into her by chance
when I went to see mom...
So why do you have her number? Why?
Did she tell you to spy on our family?
Does she know I moved back here
while they're having their custody battle?
Were you going to tell her that?
No, Hwayeong. That's not it.
Don't lie to me!
You...
Did you...
Did you find out?
Did you find out that
mom isn't your real mom?
Why are you being so loud
this late at night?
Hwayeong...
What're you nagging Sora about this time?
I'm not nagging her.
Mom, look at what she's doing.
We raised you all this time,
how dare you spy on us?
What are you blabbering about?
Don't say such ridiculous things
in front of Sora!
Stop it, mom.
Hiding it won't change anything.
You adopted her.
She's not even your daughter!
Blood's thicker than water?
She's got betraying down to a science.
Why'd you hit me? Was I wrong?
Shut your mouth!
You come back for the first time in months,
and all you have to say is this nonsense?
Nonsense?
Sora just texted Baek Yeonhui!
Then, Baek Yeonhui called her right back!
Do you still think this is nonsense?
Still, she's just a kid.
Get out! I don't need you.
Don't ever come back here again.
If you came here to spit nonsense, get out!
Get out! Get out! Get out!
You don't need me? You want me to leave?
Why?
You want to trade your dumb, real daughter
for a smart, fake daughter,
so you can take her money later?
You evil brat! You evil brat!
How can you say that?
Sora! No, Sora!
Sora! Sora!
What's wrong? What happened, Chuja?
Get off of me. Sora!
You can't go out like this.
Ssangsun, my clothes...
Chuja, what's wrong? What's wrong, Chuja?
Sora! Sora!
Sora!
Sora...
What's your problem, mister?
Sora!
Hiding it won't change anything.
She's not your real daughter.
You adopted her!
Blood is thicker than water.
She's overjoyed that she betrayed us.
Ms. Baek
Ms. Baek...
Come on in.
Who's this?
Hello.
Who's our little guest for the evening?
She's a friend.
She's having issues,
so she's staying here for the night.
I see.
Come on in.
Who's that?
Is she some kind of teenage runaway?
She looks really young.
We can ask her tomorrow.
Get her a blanket and pillow from my room.
Okay.
The recipient is unavailable...
Her phone's turned off.
What'll we do?
Where could she go so late at night?
Oh, man.
Don't worry too much.
It must've been a shock for Sora.
She'll sleep over at a friend's and come back.
Shik.
What if something happened to her?
If she's hurt, I'll die.
I'll die, Shik. What do I do?
Uncle Chansik. My battery's dead
so I'm texting from a friend's phone.
I'm sleeping at a friend's house tonight.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Don't worry and good night.
Tell mom and Hwayeong.
Don't worry. Sora's at a friend's house.
She says she'll be back in the morning.
Which friend? Did she give you a name?
No, but I'm sure she's fine.
Sora's not a liar.
What did Hwayeong say
to make Sora do this?
She just...
You know Hwayeong's temper.
She's such a brat.
You should get to bed.
Go to bed. Goodnight, Chansik.
Come on. Let's get you to bed.
Get up. Get up.
Get up. Come on. Let's go to bed.
That brat...
You have no reason to resent me.
You'd have to find out
who your mom is eventually.
If you want to resent someone,
resent your mom for abandoning you,
Lee Sora.
You're not uncomfortable in these?
Sora, can you tell me what happened?
What's got you so upset?
Ms. Baek, I really love my sister.
She's pretty, successful and smart.
But she's hated me ever since I was little.
Why did she hate me so much?
How could I get her to like me?
How could I get her to praise me?
I figured it out today.
I found out why she hates me so much.
She told me.
I'm not...
I'm not my mom's real daughter.
I was adopted.
What?
Still, I love my mom
more than anyone else in the world.
No one in the world is as nice as my mom.
Then that's all that matters.
Sora, are you sad that your mom
didn't give birth to you?
Good. No matter what,
you're still a precious girl to your mother.
Whether she gave birth to you or not,
it doesn't really matter.
You know that, don't you?
That's good.
Your mom loves you so much.
Thank you, Ms. Baek.
You must be tired. You should go to bed.
Come here.
Sleep tight.
Lee Hwayeong, how could you...
How could you say that to this little girl?
You poor thing. What will I do with you?
Jinwu, eat up.
You need to eat well
so you can grow up to be big and strong.
Got it?
Where's my other mom?
Other mom?
He must mean Hwayeong.
Jinwu.
Are you talking about mom or Ms. Lee?
Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee told me to call her "mom."
Then what are you going to call your mom?
Baek Yeonhui.
Mom is Baek Yeonhui.
Ms. Lee is my other mom, Lee Hwayeong.
He did this yesterday too.
What do we do?
Hwayeong brainwashed him properly.
Let him be.
He'll figure it out when he's older anyway.
He's too young.
This is ridiculous.
It's not the only thing that's ridiculous.
After what happened yesterday...
What happened to me and the housekeeper,
isn't this ridiculous?
I never thought I'd see the day...
I'll say this again.
You can't marry Lee Hwayeong.
Hurry up and find another woman.
Mother, let's wait until the trial is over.
You have to search right now
so that you can get remarried later!
Before you got married,
you had countless women around you.
What's wrong?
Do they see through you now?
Huija, not in front of the kid.
Hey, Chuja. Chuja!
Get up and eat.
I made you some soup to fill you right up.
- Get up. / - No thanks.
Come on. We have to go to work.
Get up for breakfast, my Chuja!
Come on! Just have one bite.
You need your strength.
Come on. The soup's to die for.
Isn't it, Chansik?
Come on. Try some.
Food is strength. Food is life.
Come on.
How can I eat at a time like this?
You have to eat in order to find Sora.
Yeah.
Come on. Just have one bite.
Where's Hwayeong?
She said she's not eating.
- Chuja! / - Chuja!
Chuja!
You! Get out.
I was going to leave today anyway.
You evil brat! Do you have any empathy?
Still, you want to raise Jinwu?
You have no right to be a mother!
Mom!
What? Am I wrong?
There are some things you just can't say.
How could you say that to Sora?
Don't you know she's dealing with teen angst?
Don't you remember what that was like?
All right.
I'm sorry. I should've given it more thought.
You evil brat.
You didn't help raise Sora at all.
You weren't her mother or her sister.
You never did a thing for her.
Sora... That poor girl...
That poor girl...
You might as well send her to her mom.
What? Are you even human?
You brat!
You call yourself human?
I know! I'm rude and I'm cruel.
But mom.
Don't you think this is unfair?
Have you ever shown me half...
No, not even half...
even 1% of the love you give Sora?
You're cold-hearted too, mom.
I hate myself for feeling jealousb
of a little kid.
I always felt like I was the adopted one.
Did you know that?
You were always so sweet to Sora!
She's not your real daughter! I am!
You!
You are so twisted.
When Donghyeong was alive,
he was all you cared about.
Since Sora's his, she's all you care about?
It hurts. It's upsetting. Don't you get it?
Hwayeong!
Sora!
- Sora, you're home. / - You're home.
Sora.
What's gotten into you?
How could you do that to me?
How could you do that?
Chuja!
Did I say you could sleep at a friend's house?
Am I a joke to you?
Who taught you those things?
Tell me! Tell me, you brat!
Stop. I'm sorry, mom.
I'm sorry!
All your life,
you were the center of my universe!
You made my pathetic life worthwhile.
Chuja! Stop!
Chuja, don't do this to Sora.
Calm down.
Chuja.
What did I do to deserve this?
Mom, I'm sorry.
Mom...
My poor baby...
My poor baby!
All done.
I'll see you later.
Sora.
Wait.
My little darling.
You're not going to look at me?
I'm sorry, Sora.
Mommy's sorry.
I resent Hwayeong.
I never resented her before,
but I really hate her now.
No, don't do that.
Don't hate her.
It's all my fault.
I should've just been honest with you.
My Sora,
is so smart, sweet and understanding.
I should've just told you.
No.
It would've been better if I'd never known.
Why did Hwayeong have to say it?
I don't care that we're not rich.
I'm fine without private lessons.
I don't care if I can't go to college.
I'm sorry...
I'm really sorry, Sora.
What will I do now, mom?
I don't even know who my mom
and dad are.
What am I supposed to do now?
That's not true!
Why would you think that?
Your mom is right here.
Your mom's right here.
Mom, why was I even born?
Why was I abandoned?
Welcome. Table for two?
No, for one please.
Oh, right this way.
For today, I'd like to recommend
the beef barbecue steak pizza
or the chicken and cream spaghetti.
That sounds great.
Very good. Coming right up.
By the way, is the owner of this restaurant
President Jeong Byeongguk?
Oh, do you know our CEO?
- Well, sort of. / - I see.
And his son is Jeong Jinwu?
You know Jinwu, as well?
You must be close with our CEO.
I'm thirsty. Could I get some water?
Of course.
Lee Hwayeong's man, Jeong Byeongguk
is the CEO of YN?
Is my plant doing well?
It's not dry and dead, right?
I'll be coming by to check.
Ms. Baek!
You know you're working
with the service team today, right?
Yes, ma'am.
You'll be pairing up with a planner today,
so make sure there aren't any problems.
You'll need a car, too.
Take mine.
Thank you.
It's time.
Hello, Ms. Seong.
Hello.
Ms. Baek, come say hello.
She's the planner who will be
working with you at the site today.
