Episode 49
It's my first night here.
I don't want to go to bed yet.
How could you move in
without discussing it with me first?
I'm sorry, honey.
But if I waited around,
would you have asked me to move in?
You still should've talked to me first.
You saw, didn't you?
You're mom wasn't completely against it.
She didn't even yell at us.
It's better that I moved in this way.
How's Jinwu?
He's sleeping.
I held him in my arms and read to him
and he fell asleep right away.
I told you. I'm his mother, remember?
I carried him in my stomach for 9 months.
Our heartbeats were once one.
He knows in his heart
that I'm his mother.
Are you just going to bed?
I wanted to have some wine with you.
I'll go bring it.
Honey.
I'm going to do right by you.
I'll be a good mom to Jinwu too.
Jinwu. Do I look pretty?
Yes!
Thank you, Jinwu!
What's wrong, Jinwu?
I'm going to give it to my mom.
- Your mom? / - Yeah.
Mom!
Jinwu!
Jinwu, no!
I'm right here, Jinwu!
No!
Jinwu...
No! No, Jinwu! Jinwu...
Yeonhui, are you okay?
You were talking in your sleep.
Was I?
You must've been really tired.
Want some water?
I'm okay. Go back to bed.
Classifieds
How is she?
The doctor came by this morning and said
her heartbeat and breathing were normal.
Okay. Go get some rest.
I'll be right here.
Okay.
Did you sleep okay?
Hiring sales associates, females preferred
Mom, can I get a toy?
That one?
Jinwu, Jinwu...
What are you doing here?
Mother.
Leave now.
School's about to end,
please let me see him for one minute.
What good would that do?
You look awful.
He's gotten used to your absence.
Are you trying to make him upset again?
This is why you're not fit to be a mother.
You only care about yourself.
You don't think about how Jinwu feels!
But mother,
I'm sure Jinwu wants to see me, too.
Please let me see him for a minute.
I told you.
You're no longer his mother.
Mother, how can you say that?
How am I not?
Mother.
I said to wait in the car.
I wanted to,
but I was worried she might upset you
and push you over the edge.
Let's go, mother.
Leave before Jinwu shows up.
You heard mother.
Please leave.
Have you gone deaf?
Leave! Leave!
- Mother! / - Just go!
Mother.
- Please. / - Jinwu!
Mother.
My son...
As a mother, think carefully.
Jinwu!
Let's go.
Welcome.
Are you looking for anything in particular?
Are you looking for a gift, perhaps?
No, I'm just window-shopping.
What? Can't I do that?
Do I have to pay to browse here?
Not at all. Take your time.
Well, I was about to,
but the dirty look you're giving me
is making me uncomfortable.
How much for this?
It's $75.
How about this one?
That's one's $63.
And this one?
It's $51.
Darn. That's ridiculously expensive.
Is everyone in Korea a millionaire?
I'm sure that was Lee Hwayeong.
Welcome back.
Hello. I need some clothes for my son.
These are so cute.
Jinwu, how about this one?
Mother, what do you think?
Excuse me, mother.
I'm going to the ladies room.
Did he recognize me?
No way. That happened ages ago.
It's just a coincidence.
No, he was just a look-alike.
Don't lose your nerve, Lee Hwayeong.
So it is you, Lee Hwayeong.
You must be mistaken.
Let go before I scream.
Then let's just speak quietly.
Just talk.
It's been a while.
You seem to be doing really well.
Make this quick. What do you want?
Where is that child?
Child? What child?
Our child. The baby you gave birth to.
Just tell me its location.
It died.
It's true. I had a miscarriage.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I heard the rumors.
Have a nice day.
Why isn't she back from the bathroom yet?
Jinwu, let's go to the bathroom.
I bet you never expected to see me again.
Wow. I can hardly believe it myself.
We finally meet again.
Tell me. Where's the child?
I told you it died.
It died?
Don't lie to me.
I heard you gave birth.
My child is alive and well,
but you're saying it's dead?
Tell me. Was it a boy or a girl?
It was a boy,
but he died.
I'm supposed to believe that?
Are you trying to backstab me again?
Lee Hwayeong.
I'll compensate you for what happened
10 years ago.
Just let me go for now.
How can I trust you?
Jinwu!
Grace Lee?
Who was that man?
He's my brother's old friend.
Your brother's friend?
Yes.
Jinwu, let's go get some ice cream.
Should we go eat there?
Let's go.
How's your new place?
No roaches or bedbugs, right?
Don't take it the wrong way.
I'm asking because I'm worried.
You hate bedbugs and roaches.
And I'll tell you this for Yeonhui's sake,
don't worry about Jinwu. He's doing fine.
He's doing well without Yeonhui?
Really?
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
Thanks to that crazy witch.
What crazy witch?
You mean Grace Lee?
She moved into our house recently,
with two big suitcases.
What?
I know it's absurd, but what can I do?
I have no say in my family's affairs.
I have no choice but to deal with it.
She's got some nerve.
As soon as she came to my house,
she started being nice to me and...
What the...
Well, I wouldn't want to hear anymore either.
Yeonhui, it's me.
Have you heard?
That crazy woman moved into Byeongguk's.
Yeah, I know.
You're just going to sit there and take it?
I won't let her get away with this.
Don't worry, Junhui.
Here, Jinwu.
I hate beans!
Oh, you hate beans?
You're just like me. I hate beans too.
What about anchovies?
Do you like anchovies?
No.
Wow! I don't like them, either.
You and I have so much in common.
That must make you so proud.
I'll take that.
Mother, try some. I made it myself.
- You did? / - Yes.
How is it? Isn't it refreshing?
It's not bad.
Wow! Jinwu, you ate all that?
Then I'll give you prize as promised.
Okay?
Jinwu.
I wonder what's on top of your desk.
Jinwu!
She's so sly.
At least Jinwu listens to her.
The bride-to-be bought groceries for dinner.
The "bride-to-be?"
What should I call her then?
She's technically not a part of the family, so...
Please stop talking.
Yeonhui's not even here.
Relax a little bit.
Stop berating Hwayeong in front of Jinwu.
Hwayeong's doing her best.
How are you so clueless?
If you give her an inch, she'll take a mile.
Can't you just tell?
Your divorce isn't even official.
I'm ashamed to face our housekeeper.
Don't underestimate her
just because she's our housekeeper.
She might act politely in front of us,
but if she talks behind our backs,
our reputation can be ruined.
So watch how you behave.
What do we do now?
If my family hears that we're dating,
my house will become a war zone.
Are you saying that we should end this?
No one's saying that.
If that's what you want, go ahead.
I don't have anything to offer you.
How can I ask you to stay with me?
If you want to break up with me now,
I'd be willing to accept that.
Are you leaving this up to me?
You told me that
it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
But now, you're running away like a coward?
Hwayeong just moved into your house.
What's that got to do with us?
Even if I'm worried,
aren't you supposed to take my hand
and try and elope or something?
As a man,
how can you have such little courage?
That's not what I'm...
I'm really disappointed in you.
I thought you were better than this.
Don't cry. You're breaking my heart.
This is...
Check to see if my heart's broken.
Oh, my!
I left my cell phone behind.
I see.
Professor. Come in.
Professor? Dork?
Miranda.
Hey!
Suk! What are you two doing here?
Dork, what are you two doing here?
Mom, I'm home.
Welcome home, Aunt Jinsuk.
Yumi, how was work today?
Have you had dinner?
I'll make something light. Come eat.
Huija, what do you plan to do?
Are you just going to let this happen?
My niece, Hwayeong...
I know you don't like her,
but please take care of her.
Mom, I want my own apartment.
What are you talking about?
She makes me really uncomfortable.
I can't stand her!
Everyone has something to say.
Mom, why aren't you waking up?
Is it because I didn't bring Jinwu?
If I bring him, will you wake up?
Mom.
I saw Jinwu.
He's grown so much.
But he looks a bit thinner.
I promised to take him to the beach.
I should've taken him sooner.
I don't know why I worked so much.
But don't worry, mom.
I'll save up some money
and bring Jinwu back.
You miss him, right?
So wake up, mom. Please?
The shareholders are meeting soon.
They'll be picking a new CEO.
Seongbin.
I went to Jinwu's kindergarten earlier.
But that woman, Lee Hwayeong,
she came to pick Jinwu up.
What? Why would she be there?
I think she moved into Byeongguk's house.
Seongbin.
Has Jinwu already forgotten about me?
Children forget easily.
What if he forgot me
and he's calling Hwayeong his mother?
Don't say that.
You're the only mother Jinwu has.
Jinwu is all I have left.
I'm afraid that
I'll only be a distant memory to him.
I'm so scared.
What should I do, Seongbin?
Grow up, Yeonhui!
Can you stop feeling sorry for yourself?
Please, get it together!
How long are you going to cry over Jinwu?
Get on with your life!
Yeonhui.
Yeah. You're right.
But...
It's been so hard for me. I just want to die!
So you're just going to give up?
You're going to let them take Jinwu?
The recipient is unavailable...
Brat...
I have no idea how she's doing in that house.
It might be better that she hasn't called, but...
I can't shake this nervous feeling.
Resume
I'm sorry, but given your lack of experience,
I'm afraid we can't hire you.
I'm sorry.
Be careful!
He's fine.
Jinwu, I'm going to get tougher.
Even if I miss you, I won't cry.
Wait for me. I'll come get you.
I'm sure of it.
We will now be inducting
the new CEO of HS GROUP.
We'll call forth the CEO we voted upon
at our last shareholders' meeting.
She's young and talented.
We're ready for you.
Thank you.
I'm HS Group's new CEO,
Grace Lee.
Oh my god.
HS Group is inducting a new CEO.
I heard it'll be Grace Lee.
How did this happen?
You're HS Group's new CEO?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I wanted it to be a surprise.
I just don't get you.
Why would you keep this from me?
And out of all the possible companies,
why did it have to be HS Group?
What are you plotting?
What do you mean?
I was chosen because I'm talented.
Aren't you going to congratulate me?
No matter how talented you are,
you don't just get to become CEO.
Try and see it from my perspective.
Didn't I tell you?
I took business classes while I was with Lasar.
I'm going to give it all I've got.
I'm going to grow this company,
and be an asset to your company as well.
That'd be good for you, right?
Let's get out of here.
We need to celebrate. Right?
Enjoy.
Eat up.
We're still on the clock. What if we get fired?
You walked out of the meeting.
Don't tell me you're worried now.
Junhui.
Should we just quit together?
And afterwards?
Afterwards, we'll start our own company.
I'll handle management,
you can design clothes.
You go on ahead.
Companies are lining up to hire you.
What about you?
You know I can't.
If I quit, my father
may never get his company back.
I'll stay to the bitter end.
I'm going to keep getting promoted,
buy up as many shares as I can
and get the company back.
What? The CEO?
Who?
Didn't you hear?
Do you even care?
It was your in-laws' company
and it's the one I work at.
In any case,
I was shocked at the announcement too.
Who is that woman?
I heard that
she used to work at Aunt Jinsuk's restaurant.
How did she become CEO of a conglomerate?
Wait.
The shareholders voted her in.
Did they pick her for her looks?
I feel like I'm prettier than her.
I'm going upstairs, President Gwak.
Lee Hwayeong's a sly one.
She took President Baek's position?
We're home.
Come here and sit.
I heard that you're HS Group's new CEO.
How did you do it?
Not a manager, but a CEO?
Mother.
I know you don't think highly of me,
but I'm very talented.
So please, mother, accept me.
I told you not to call me "mother."
I'm not your mother-in-law yet.
I'm letting you stay for Jinwu's sake,
but I can't accept you yet. Understood?
Yes, President Gwak.
But while I'm CEO of HS Group,
if I expand the company many times over,
who will inherit my wealth?
Byeongguk and Jinwu, correct?
When that happens,
I'd like to believe you will accept me.
Hey! You're here.
Nepotism!
Well that wasn't very nice.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
