When do you plan on having the wedding?
The professor wants to do it soon,
but I've been so busy.
We're trying to figure out a time frame.
Anyways, girls.
Isn't the color of the ring brilliant?
It sure is.
That's why diamonds are the best.
Are you sure it's a real diamond?
Sunnam, what are you suggesting?
You think this isn't a real diamond?
It's an engagement ring!
An engagment ring!
If you're jealous, just say so!
How dare you?
Oh, my.
What are you ladies talking about?
Hello, Michael.
Michael, do you think
this diamond is real or fake?
Hello, Ms. Jeong.
Ms. Jeong, this is a real diamond, right?
It probably is.
Even if it isn't,
it still must've been expensive
since it's an engagement ring.
I can't believe there
haven't been any customers.
Oh, man.
Hi, Miranda.
Have a seat.
You seem especially happy to see me today.
It's because I haven't
talked to anyone all day.
Well, since we're currently engaged
so if we weren't happy to see each other
it'd be really strange.
Oh...
What's this? Hawaii?
Oh, wow! Hawaii?
I love it!
You were looking into honeymoon spots?
We're definitely soulmates.
It's like we're of one mind.
We're so perfect together.
Professor,
where should we have the wedding?
Actually...
I have to go wash some coffee cups.
Just a moment.
Professor.
Leave those things to me. I'll do it.
Oh, right.
I'll have to take the ring off first.
It's not coming off.
- Oh, my. / - Are you okay?
How did...
Jinwu's behavior
might stem from physical abuse,
but since he had no injuries,
I'm guessing he's being verbally abused.
I think Hwayeong is hiding something.
Someone's blackmailing her over that secret.
What are you thinking about?
What? Did you say something?
Geez!
I told you about our
company's anniversary party next week, right?
Give Attorney Lee his invitation.
Tell him that he has to come no matter what.
You want me to give it to him?
Why not?
There's a rumor that Myeongun will do
anything you ask of him.
That's not true.
What's up with this?
You're not watering it? Why's it so dry?
I forgot.
I'm kidding.
This is your invitation.
Here.
Since you won the competition,
the CEO specifically asked that you be there.
As requested, here's HS Group's
second quarter revenue report.
On the back, you'll find
a list of shareholders from last year.
Don't ask me how I got these.
Thanks for doing me this difficult favor.
As time went on, more people
started thinking you were set up.
I'm one of those people.
That's why I'm helping you.
Not everyone turned their backs on you.
Stay strong.
After Lee Hwayeong became CEO,
a lot of people were unhappy.
Revenue has remained almost the same,
but rumors say they're building a new branch
and Lee's been looking around for real estate.
A new branch?
In any case,
you need to get back on your feet.
I will.
Even if I have to face the consequences,
Baek Cheol the viper never backs down.
Am I right?
Of course.
A house in Hawaii?
Do you think it's a bad idea?
I just got a call from a friend who said
there's a pretty cheap piece of land there.
It's not a small amount of money.
Even if I do my best to keep it under wraps,
if you're not careful,
it might reveal your other slush funds.
Your job is to prevent that from happening.
It's not a waste. It's an investment.
You said you were on my side.
You can't even do me this small favor?
If something goes wrong, I'll sell it.
Okay then. I'll look into it.
Oh, and here.
It's an official invitation for you
from CN Group.
A corporate anniversary party?
If you don't wish to attend,
I'll let them know.
No, I'll go. Thank them for inviting me,
and let them know I'll be sure to go.
Okay.
Seongbin.
I've been hearing rumors around work
that I'm trying to open a new branch.
Do you know anything about that?
Yes. I do.
I'm the one who made up those rumors.
What?
Sometimes,
you need rumors to cover your tracks.
You need a few false rumors to go around
to keep your secret activities under wraps.
Okay. You can leave now.
This is Yu Seongbin.
Will you meet with me right now?
An iced tea with extra ice.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for taking the time to see me.
I actually wanted to meet with you as well.
I have some questions.
Though I'm not sure I should ask or not.
Are you affiliated with the thugs
that Hwayeong hired?
What?
Hwayeong hired thugs?
If you're surprised then I guess not.
Hwayeong sure is naive.
It's not like a few thugs scare me.
Who does she think I am?
You see,
I'm not a fan of hot beverages.
I like iced things much better.
Recently, I saw something really interesting.
I saw Hwayeong fighting with Baek Yeonhui.
They kept talking about a boy named Jinwu.
How are the three of them connected?
Why...
Why do I have to tell you that?
Well, if you don't want to...
Please stay seated.
Mr. Choi.
You and Hwayeong seem pretty close.
How do you know her?
It seems like you know her better than I do.
I can't tell exactly what your intentions are.
You go first, since you invited me here.
Be a man and be honest.
I was a close college friend of
Hwayeong's older brother.
Right now, I'm her right hand man.
But I don't think
she's headed down the right path, so...
So you want to stop her?
Since you're a righteous guy?
What about Baek Yeonhui?
Baek Yeonhui
used to date Hwayeong's brother.
Now, it's your turn to answer my questions.
That woman
used to live with me.
She had my child too.
Miranda, you know that ring?
Could you show me one more time?
The design is so pretty.
I want to ask my boyfriend to get me
one just like it.
Sunnam, are you kidding me right now?
What?
I'm going out.
Where are you going, Ms. Lee? Ms. Lee!
What? What is it?
What's wrong?
Just tell me.
What? Did Giseop ask to break up?
Oh, come on.
You were so happy that he proposed to you!
What's the matter?
What's this?
What happened to the color?
I thought it was a real diamond.
I mean, I thought
it'd be a well-gilded, high-quality ring.
But...
It's actually a 1-dollar knockoff ring.
This is what Chef Bae was going to give me?
I know that price isn't what's important.
It's the thought that counts.
No. The price is important too.
Shouldn't a man invest in his woman
in a manner proportional to his love?
How could he buy me junk?
This is an insult.
This is a betrayal! He's a fraud!
Ms. Jeong.
Yes?
You're right...
I mean...
Ms. Lee, it's the heart that...
Ms. Jeong, let's be honest here.
The heart definitely counts,
but do you like cheap gifts?
Thriftiness is one thing, but this is too cheap.
You know, you're right.
The price matters too!
Thriftiness is one thing, but this is too cheap.
Oh, geez! Oh, man!
I didn't have time to ask you before.
This ring...
Were you really proposing to me
with this ring?
Well, you see...
If I tell her that I found it,
she'll definitely think I'm crazy.
Giseop.
Giseop, what have you done?
Tell me, professor.
Actually, the thing is...
I was fooled, too, Miranda.
I actually went to Las Vegas last year.
People say that
since there are a lot of casinos,
there are pawn shops filled with diamonds.
They said I could buy them for really cheap
and everyone else was buying them.
So at the time,
you really thought this was a diamond?
Yes.
I knew I'd get married someday
and I'd need an engagement ring,
so I bought it in advance.
Why didn't you just buy a stainless steel ring?
What?
That way,
the ring wouldn't have changed color on me.
I bragged about the ring to everyone.
I'm so embarrassed.
Then shall I get you a stainless steel one?
That darn Chef Bae!
If it'd been a $10 ring,
I wouldn't be in this mess!
Are you serious?
You must be out of your mind!
How could you propose to me with that?
Well...
I was too busy to shop around for a ring.
I'll get a really good one later on,
so don't be mad, okay?
You don't know what engagement rings
symbolize to women?
It signifies your love!
Yet, you bought a ring that rusts!
Do you want our love to rust as well?
That wasn't my intention!
Whatever! I don't care!
How could you try to fool me like that?
Are you a con man?
Is that who you really are?
Listen here, Jinsuk.
If you keep worrying about price,
then you'll be a superficial woman.
How dare you say that to me?
Please stop being so superficial!
Be modest and humble.
Who cares about some stupid ring?
Who cares if it's made of string, copper
or grass?
Isn't it the heart that counts? Love?
Yes! Love!
The ring is a symbol of love!
Geez.
Oh, my.
He must be out of his mind!
You are my better half
I'm so glad that I met you
Chansik, have this.
Thanks.
What's wrong with you?
What do you mean?
You look like you ate rotten food.
I didn't give him a rotten one.
The inside is pure gold.
I gave him the best one.
It's a perfect sweet potato!
Chuja, can I ask you something?
Do women really need expensive gifts?
Why?
Are you getting a gift for that manager lady?
No, I just...
Hey!
You've never even given me a gift.
All you ever did was freeload and what?
I just want to know
what women are like, so...
Shut up!
I told you to break up, but you still won't.
But what? A gift?
For her? Are you crazy?
Do you want to waste
all the money you've been saving up?
Do you know how much money it'd take
to please a superficial girl like that?
Yeah!
She'll take you for every cent you've got.
Mom, don't say that.
He has to date in order to get married.
Yeah.
He'll have to know how to get women gifts.
He never even spends a dollar on his sister.
Have you ever covered your living costs?
Have you ever given me spending money?
Geez.
Don't throw food, you ingrate!
Mom, please don't do that. It's bad enough
that he's a bachelor at this age.
Yeah.
We should be happy that he's seeing someone.
Don't you think?
Imagine if he never found a girl
and had to mooch off you forever.
Well, he should've picked a decent girl!
She always has those fake lashes!
She's tall as a tree too!
She's a real man-eater!
Uncle Chansik, are you mad?
No.
You know I'm always on your side, right?
I know, Sora.
When will you visit the restaurant again?
Why?
I want to make you some amazing food.
A new menu item.
Okay!
Oh, it's salty!
Huija, when's the housekeeper coming back?
She hasn't called back yet?
This is the only meal I eat at home,
but it's not edible!
If you don't want it, don't eat.
I made this myself.
The least you can do is eat.
How dare you complain?
You made this?
Not Hwayeong?
Starting tomorrow,
I'll wake up early and prepare breakfast.
Yeah, you better!
How could you let my mom make breakfast?
It stresses her out.
Good grief.
Jinwu doesn't seem to like it either.
He hasn't eaten at all.
Jinwu try and have a little.
Oh, no.
Jinwu doesn't say a word anymore.
Aren't you worried about him?
Take him to the hospital.
Ma'am, this is Yeonhui.
Please call me.
Please call me, ma'am.
Did you just sigh again?
Ms. Son asked me to give you this.
Oh man. I guess I'll have to wear a tux again.
If you see me in a tux,
you'll probably faint.
Wait. Would you get mad?
Why would I?
Why else?
Women would just flock to me
and you'd struggle to brush them aside.
Myeongun,
did you know you're a narcissist?
Hey now, listen close.
If you've got a face like this,
you're allowed to be a little narcissistic.
You're going, too, right?
Ms. Son said you had to come as well.
No, I don't think I will.
The party will be filled
with important guests.
A few might be able to help your father.
I'll give it some thought.
The outfit on the first mannequin
was done by team 2 under Ms. Seo.
I designed a sporty, quilted jacket
inspired by golf fashion.
The outfit on the second mannequin
was done by team 1 under Ms. Baek.
This is a jacket that is both
elegant yet sporty.
Take your time as you
make your assessments.
Shall we take a look?
Great job.
They decided to go with your design.
Congratulations!
I couldn't have done it without you.
No, you're the talent.
I'm glad that your design was picked
since it makes our team look great.
It wasn't just my design.
We made it together as a team.
In honor of Ms. Baek's victory,
dinner's on me tonight!
Wow!
Congratulations, Junhui. Dinner's on me.
Why can't he just call it a date?
Come on in.
Welcome! Congratulations!
I knew it.
What?
I thought it'd be like a date with...
Never mind.
Have you been waiting long?
I heard
you had a big win today at work.
Here! It's a gift!
Thank you.
You've been working so hard lately.
You should rest for a while.
You two look really cozy together.
Junhui, it's not like that.
Oh no, she's onto us!
Well then, dinner's on me tonight.
Don't be ridiculous.
I invited you here. Dinner's on me.
Regardless of who pays,
I'm going to eat a lot.
You both better watch out.
Okay. You can drink a ton too.
I'll be your designated driver tonight.
You can drink lots too. After all, I'm Tarzan.
I wanted to eat dinner first.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Sora's probably hungry.
She's been pretty down lately
and I feel really bad for her.
She doesn't let it show,
but after a shock like that,
what kind of kid would be perfectly okay?
I know exactly what she's going through.
I've been there.
I don't have any family at all.
It's painful to wander this world alone.
She's probably wondering who her mother is
and where she came from.
She must be having such lonely thoughts.
Quit yapping!
Sora's not an orphan!
I'm her mom. Why would she think like that?
That poor girl...
But, Chuja...
Where did you adopt Sora from?
That's not your business.
Tell me. I won't tell anyone.
I'm your best friend.
I said it's none of your business!
Come on. Tell me!
Be honest with me.
Hey, Sora.
Where are you?
What? At the restaurant?
Yeah, Uncle Chansik said he'd buy me dinner.
I'll come home with him later.
Sora, what do you want to eat?
I'll make you anything you like.
I'm sure you're busy. Don't worry about me.
How could I not?
You're my little cutie pie, Sora.
Huh? Cutie pie?
Cutie pie...
Wait one second.
- Hi, Sora! / - Hello!
Are you here to see your uncle?
Yes. Uncle Chansik's been down lately,
so I came to check up on him.
Really?
Ms. Jeong.
I have a secret I want to share with you.
What is it?
My uncle's a real catch.
And he loves you so much.
So much he could die.
Welcome.
Start without me.
Right this way.
You weren't even going to greet me?
Are you here to have dinner?
You should've just eaten at home.
Order whatever you'd like.
Your guests are waiting. You should go.
What would you know?
I'll eat with you, so don't make a fuss.
I'm not your real sister.
I don't deserve to eat in your presence.
I'll leave.
So what?
You're not going to be
my sister from now on?
If that's how you feel,
I guess you'd abandon all of us
if you met your real parents.
I'm sorry.
I don't know who my real parents are,
but I'm sorry I was born.
I'm also sorry that mom had to raise me.
I'm sorry that you were hurt because of me
and I'm sorry that our family's so poor.
But you know what?
From now on I won't get in anyone's way,
so please leave me alone.
Every time you said something to me,
do you know how much it hurt me?
I'm in so much pain, I could die!
So just leave me alone!
Stop right there!
Didn't you know that this is who I am?
Why are you acting so strange?
What?
As your real sister, that was alright but now
that you know, you're talking back like this?
I didn't do it because I hated you, I just...
Your biological parents
were digusting and I hate them!
That's why...
Do you know who they are?
Do you know them?
No, I don't, but...
If you don't, then stop.
I'm sure they had their
reasons for leaving me.
You don't know them. Don't insult them!
Buy whatever you need.
Go to the movies with friends, whatever.
Call me if you need more.
So that's who Junhui likes?
I think they make a good couple.
After having drinks with them...
How are you such a lightweight?
You had two glasses of beer
and you're this tipsy?
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
It's good that you're not a heavy drinker.
You can get drunk for cheap.
I'm just kidding.
I can tell Junhui misses your mom a lot.
She brought her up as the night went on.
Yes. She really does.
The bond we share with our mothers
is forever irreplaceable.
When I think about my mom...
Wait.
Don't say it. You'll make me cry.
Wow! The moon's so bright.
I can't see a single star.
When I was young,
I'd lay out in the fields
star at the stars and say this spell.
One for the stars, one for me.
Two for the stars, two for me.
Three for the stars, three for me.
Four for the stars, four for me.
Yeonhui, what's wrong?
Yeonhui, what's the matter?
Did I do something wrong?
I don't know what I'm doing here.
I might lose custody of my son.
I should be doing all I can to get him back,
yet I'm out here drinking.
I don't deserve to be a mother.
Myeongun, I must be out of my mind.
I'm a crazy mother.
You're a mother, but you're also a person.
You worry about Jinwu so much everyday
that you hardly ever have a good meal.
Everyday, you're struggling to survive.
Aren't you exhausted?
Aren't you tired?
How long are you going to blame yourself?
You never did anything wrong!
When I see you in pain...
It hurts me deeply.
Why does it matter to you?
How long are you going to blame yourself?
You never did anything wrong!
Hello?
What did I do so wrong?
What?
What did I do that was so wrong?
You called me at this hour to ask that?
Shall I start from the beginning then?
My only mistake
was that I loved your brother, Donghyeon.
Is that such a crime?
Then what does that make you?
You conned my father
and stole his company.
You caused my innocent mother's death.
You better listen closely.
I will never give up on Jinwu.
I'll also reveal what you did to my dad.
I'll hunt you down to the gates of hell.
I won't forgive you.
I will never forgive you!
