Episode 41
What was that?
Watch over Jinwu.
Jinwu, let's get you a snack.
You're disgusting.
You're completely disgusting.
Why did you even marry me?
How could you hide such a thing,
and then marry me anyways?
It's not true. I didn't hide it from you.
I told you everything.
I told you everything in that letter.
I thought you'd accepted me.
I thought you understood me, forgave me
and accepted me regardless.
A letter?
I don't remember any letter.
What kind of man
would accept a filthy woman like you?
Who would do that?
That's what I believed back then.
I thought you'd accepted me regardless.
That's why I agreed to marry you.
Lies. Don't lie to me.
This is all a lie! Liar!
You are truly...
Truly despicable!
You're terrifying.
Honey...
What did you two just say?
Tell me right now!
Before Yeonhui married me,
she was living with another man.
What did you say?
Yeonhui.
What's this?
Is that true?
Did you...
Did you really...
Huija, Huija! What's wrong?
Ma'am! Ma'am!
Huija, are you okay?
Help her! Hurry!
Oh no! Come with me.
You should go and lay down...
Get off me!
Get out.
Get out of my sight!
Huija, just go lie down!
Huija, are you okay?
Don't give it too much thought.
He could be mistaken.
Byeongguk probably heard something...
No. I'm certain it's true.
It's all true.
Why else would she just sit there in silence?
She lived with another man?
We've been fooled.
We've been swindled.
How disgusting.
Huija.
For now, let's just wait and see.
Nothing's been proven just yet.
Let's not make any accusations about her.
What if they get a divorce over this?
If they get a divorce,
you know who'll be happy to see it.
Jinsuk.
I've been completely disgraced.
I won't ever be able to live it down.
Jinsuk, what should I do?
Huija.
Let me see.
Go see a doctor first thing in the morning.
There might be glass stuck in the wound.
Oh, dear...
What happened?
Is what Byeongguk said true?
I've never been in a relationship,
but I'm not an idiot.
We live in a modern age now.
Everyone dates before marriage.
It'd be weirder if you hadn't.
But is all of that true?
Did you really live with another man?
I'm sorry.
But yes, I loved him.
So we were going to get married,
but my parents disapproved.
When I got pregnant, I felt blessed,
but then he and the baby both died.
Goodness.
You even had a child?
How could you hide that from Byeongguk
and then marry him?
I didn't think you were that kind of person.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't even want to get married.
But my dad...
After I met Byeongguk,
I regained my will to live.
Byeongguk was my lifeline.
Still, you should've told him.
Even if he probably wouldn't have married you.
I told him before we got married.
What? You did?
After he proposed to me,
I thought he should know,
so I told him everything in a letter.
Since he didn't say a word about it,
I assumed he accepted me
and that's why I married him.
Byeongguk already knew all this?
Then why is he making a scene now?
Maybe he wants to divorce you
to be with Hwayeong.
Is that why he's bringing it up now?
That was quite a performance, Hwayeong.
Well played.
Congratulations.
What are you...
The information you gave me
yielded fantastic results.
Did you figure everything out?
How did you know?
Tell me.
How did you find out?
Curious?
I did a background check on her.
I wanted to know why you loved her so much.
I was jealous.
Do you know how I felt afterwards?
I was disappointed.
I was mad at you for being in love
with a woman with such a dirty past.
And I was mad that she was the mother
of my child and raising him.
Byeongguk, Baek Yeonhui
has no right to raise our Jinwu.
You're disgusting.
You're completely disgusting.
Why did you even marry me?
How could you hide such a thing,
and then marry me anyways?
No. I definitely gave him a letter.
How could he not know?
Why didn't he know?
You're as pure as this bouquet of lilies,
my sweet Yeonhui.
Please accept these flowers and my heart.
This is already my fifth time proposing to you.
Please don't reject me this time.
Will you marry me?
Thank you for the flowers.
However, I cannot accept your heart.
I'm grateful that you are taken with me,
but there's something I haven't told you.
I met with you for my parents' sake, but...
Could you still accept me?
I'm sorry.
Please try to understand
why I can't accept your marriage proposal.
What about mom? She's not eating?
Leave her alone.
Yeonhui.
Mother.
Don't come in.
Mother.
I told you not to come in!
I can't even bear to look at you.
Mother, I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
You ruined a man's life,
you destroyed our house,
and all you can say is you're sorry?
Are you even human?
How could you hide such a thing
and marry Byeongguk so shamelessly?
Are you happy?
Are you glad that you fooled all of us?
Mother, you know that's not true.
What do I know?
How could you?
You lived with another man
and then with your filthy body
you married into our family.
How could you?
Mom, what's wrong?
We were a respectable family.
So how could you fool us
and marry into this family?
Mom.
Mom?
Why are you crying? Don't cry, mom.
I hate you, grandma!
Don't get mad at my mom!
Jinwu.
Why do you hate my mom so much?
Jinwu, don't say that to grandma. Come here.
I'm so upset!
Jinsuk!
I feel so cheated. It's killing me.
She'll send me to an early grave for sure!
Huija.
Good grief.
Hey, Bae Chuja! Chuja!
It's hot out. Have some of this.
What's that?
Can't you see? It's ice coffee.
Today, she gave me some ice cold coffee.
Did you get these from Ms. Baek?
Hey! That coffee's expensive!
It's such a waste!
What's your problem?
Get it together!
I know how you feel,
but what did the coffee ever do to you?
Don't ever get coffee from there again.
No ice water either!
Why? Because Ms. Baek might poison it?
You're such a frustrating person.
I know it's for your daughter.
I know you have your pride.
But why take it out on the coffee?
This ice coffee was so expensive.
Are you just getting to work?
Why are you here, auntie?
- Where were you last night? / - A hotel.
With Hwayeong?
Say what you need to say and go.
I have no time for small talk.
I understand why you're angry.
But didn't you
already know about Yeonhui's past?
You were obligated to keep her secret.
Why are you making a scene now?
Is it because of Hwayeong?
Hwayeong?
Auntie...
Just let this go.
Before it stirs any more trouble.
And while we're on the subject,
let's be honest for a moment.
Weren't you a player back in the day?
Didn't you meet lots of women?
Try to remember.
You were way worse than Yeonhui.
Auntie.
It's true.
You're making me really upset.
You were no different.
What's with the double standard?
Men can fool around but women cannot?
It all happened before you two met.
It's not like she met lots of guys.
She loved that man.
They were going to get married
but her parents disapproved, so they broke up.
During your wedding,
I was scared that a random woman
might show up with your baby.
Auntie.
So what I want to say is...
Just let this slide. Please?
Just pretend like she got a divorce once.
It's not like she was a player like you.
Auntie.
Why did you even come here?
Are you trying to make me more upset?
That's not what...
I get it! Stop.
Auntie.
Of all the great girls I could've been with,
do you know why I chose Yeonhui?
It's because I thought she was pure.
Yes, as you said,
I used to be a player.
But that's why I wanted to marry
someone who was pure.
I know it's selfish.
But I chose to marry Yeonhui
for that reason alone.
But I was fooled.
I was completely fooled.
Hey!
If that's what you came to discuss, then leave.
Come in.
Why are you acting so paranoid?
You're allowed to be in here.
Where were you? I was waiting for you.
Why?
Let's go out.
Where to?
It's break time.
We haven't had much time for dates.
Plus you seem a bit down.
Let's get some fresh air.
That'd be nice.
But if we leave together,
people will get suspicious.
Then can't we just leave separately?
Are you heading out, Ms. Jeong?
Yes, I have an appointment.
With whom?
Do I really have to report that to you?
Geez!
Michael, where are you going?
A friend of mine wanted to meet up.
A friend?
I'm all prepped for dinner.
I'll be back before the shift.
Geez!
Hello, Miranda.
Professor.
What are you doing?
Don't fight me. Just come with me. Hurry.
Why are we at a clothing store?
I heard women relieve stress by shopping.
Pick something out for yourself.
This is nice. What do you think?
Go try it on.
Come on!
Hold on.
What do you think?
It looks great.
We'll take this.
You're buying this for me?
Of course!
I can spend this much on my woman.
Are you going to pay all at once?
No, over the course of 3 months, please.
Wait. Is it interest free?
Then, over the course of 6 months, please.
Yes, sir.
That's not necessary.
Why not?
I said it's fine.
Just keep it on. It's pretty.
Why do we need to be in hiding?
Let's be bold.
Be patient, professor.
I'm going to make sure
I reveal the exact nature of their relationship.
We can just ask them directly.
Prof...
Professor! Professor!
Mommy!
Miranda!
Miranda! Are you alright?
Hey, you two.
What are you two doing here?
Cutie pie! You see...
Didn't you two have prior engagements?
Ms. Jeong, you had an appointment
with Chef Michael?
And chef, Ms. Jeong is your friend?
Well, you see...
Yes, I had plans with Ms. Jeong.
Is that a crime?
It looks like you two were tailing us.
That's actually against the law.
It's an invasion of privacy.
You could go to jail for that.
It all happened before you two met.
They were going to get married
but her parents disapproved, so they broke up.
I understand why you're angry.
But didn't you
already know about Yeonhui's past?
I knew about this already?
It's me. I need to see you.
I'm sorry for putting you through this.
I want to ask you something.
I knew everything before we got married?
What does you mean?
Is that just an excuse you gave
my mom and my aunt?
- Honey. / - Tell me.
What do you mean I knew about this?
Don't you remember the letter I sent you?
The letter you sent me?
What are you talking about?
The letter I sent you before we got married.
To me?
The letter saying you'd accepted my proposal?
That letter?
Yes. I did get a letter.
It said you'd marry me.
It said I'd marry you?
That's the only letter I got from you.
Why wouldn't I remember that?
Why?
What about it?
It said that? That I'd marry you?
Don't you remember?
Deny it all you want.
Wait. I'll show it to you.
Take a good look.
This is the letter you sent me.
The one where you accepted my proposal.
This is the first and last letter you gave me.
Thank you.
I'll gladly accept your marriage proposal.
But I have one request.
When we get married,
let's agree never to bring up the past.
Let's focus on what our happy future holds.
Still, you claim that you told me everything?
That's not true.
Why would you make up such a ridiculous lie?
No, this can't be...
How could this be?
Don't play dumb with me.
It's despicable.
You completely fooled me.
If I didn't have this letter,
you would've denied it to the end.
Pretending to be sweet and innocent
with that fake mask of yours.
That's not it. This isn't it.
What's wrong?
Now that I've given you proof,
you're trying to make another excuse?
You're unbelievable.
You're disgusting.
Yeonhui, what are you doing here?
Is something the matter?
You look upset.
Where's dad?
I just spoke to him on the phone.
He's on his way home.
Why?
What's wrong now?
I'm worried sick.
Why did you do it?
What are you talking about?
Why did you do that to Byeongguk?
You have to tell me what this is about.
I hate you all.
I hate both you and dad.
What did you say? Yeonhui!
Oh? What brings you here?
Hey. What's wrong?
You did this, didn't you?
It was your handwriting.
What are you talking about?
The letter, the letter I wrote him.
You switched out my letter, didn't you?
Yeonhui, you see...
Why did you do it?
Why did you do it? Why?
What is she saying? What letter?
What am I to you?
Am I your puppet?
Must you dictate my every move
for you to be satisfied?
I'm Baek Yeonhui! Me!
So why would you switch out my letter?
Why?
I did it all for you.
Did I ask you to do that?
That wasn't what I wanted!
You're my daughter.
Why would I want you to be unhappy?
Do I look happy?
My marriage is a total sham.
Are either of us happy now?
If you really wanted me to be happy,
you should've let me marry Donghyeon!
What do we do now?
Byeongguk knows everything.
His whole family knows now.
What?
How much do they know?
All of it, from the beginning.
If we had told him from the start,
if we'd never gotten married,
none of this would've happened.
Donghyeon died because of me.
If only you didn't do that,
he and I would've lived happily.
Yeonhui.
Why must Byeongguk and his family suffer
because of me? Why?
You made a mistake.
This is all your fault!
Yeonhui!
Yeonhui! Yeonhui!
Why did you do that?
Why would you do that?
I did it for Yeonhui.
I wanted her to forget her dreadful past
and get married as soon as possible
so that she could start a new life.
This is all my fault.
It's all my fault.
Baek Yeonhui. It's all my fault.
Father-in-law
Hello?
It's me.
Yes, father-in-law?
Do you have time today?
I need to talk to you.
I'm sorry I'm late.
That's alright.
Come sit.
I know you're busy. Thanks for coming out.
It's fine.
Yeonhui came by the house earlier today.
She told me about the letter.
That letter...
I wrote that letter.
What?
The letter...
The letter accepting your marriage proposal.
Yeonhui didn't write it. I did.
Please say that more clearly.
Yeonhui...
She didn't want to marry you.
It wasn't just you.
She didn't want to get married at all.
But I...
I really wanted you as my son-in-law.
And you liked Yeonhui.
Yes, I did.
Since you loved Yeonhui,
I wanted her to marry you and be happy.
But Yeonhui wrote a letter to you.
You know the contents already,
but it revealed her entire past.
I know times have changed,
but if you knew she'd had a child,
would you have married Yeonhui?
Would you have accepted her then?
That's why I did what I did.
I did it so you two could be together.
I ripped up the letter she wrote,
and I replaced it with the one I wrote.
It said she'd accepted your proposal,
and that she'd marry you.
Yeonhui did nothing wrong.
It's all my fault.
Do you actually
expect me to believe that right now?
Believe me. It's all true.
Baek Yeonhui.
The daughter you'd do anything for.
How am I supposed to trust you, sir?
She'd been living with another man
and she even had his child,
but then you told me
she'd never even had a boyfriend
and you tricked me into marrying her!
How am I supposed to believe you?
Byeongguk.
Get on your knees.
Kneel and beg for forgiveness!
