What's wrong with you?
Taepil...
It's okay, mom. You don't need to worry now.
Now, you're safe forever.
Just act the way you used to.
Don't get weak over the dishwasher and bring her inside.
You'll feel guilty every time you look at her.
Or has your conscience gone numb?
Can you live facing her as though nothing happened?
Why did you leave it in the wardrobe?
Why didn't you burn it?
Mrs. Hwang... Youngest...
He's gone down.
Mrs. Hwang, what's wrong with him?
Does he always behave like that when he's drunk?
Make sure he doesn't drink. What if he does that to other people?
Mrs. Hwang!
She must be shocked because of the youngest son too.
He's such a troublemaker. He's hopeless.
Wait... Why did I come here?
Oh! My things!
Does Taepil know?
Is that it?
The end!
I'm back!
A photo to show that I'm back in the attic.
This is happy Jaeun! That ends today's report!
I knew he'd do this.
Shouldn't he reply if someone sends him a message?
You should reply if you receive a text message!
Forget it. I'm nice and pretty. I'll let it go.
Are you... Guksu?
Let's go.
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
It's water. Drink it. You must be thirsty.
Do you know how to use chopsticks?
Then use this.
Eat it. Have you tried udon and rice rolls before?
Do you know how to eat this?
You don't know Korean? Why don't you speak?
Eat it. You must be hungry.
Eat. Try it.
Why don't you eat? You don't want to?
Aren't you hungry?
Excuse me, can you put the rice rolls in a doggie bag?
We'll have some meat dumplings to go as well.
Yes.
Sit down. Put your bag down.
Okay, I won't touch you. Put your bag down and sit.
Sit down. Are you going to stand all night?
See these dumplings, rice rolls and drink?
If you wake up and you get hungry, eat it.
You didn't eat a thing. You'll get hungry later.
Yes, Yejin.
I'm sorry, Yejin. Something really urgent came up.
Yes, it won't ever happen again.
I promise.
Yejin, I'm really sorry.
Bye.
Yes, mom. It's me.
One of my colleagues has had a death in the family.
The funeral's at Daegu. I'm going there now.
Yes, I'll go straight to work tomorrow from there.
Yes, bye.
- Going somewhere? - Yes.
I'm going out to meet Taesik for a little while.
Really? It's quite late.
It will take a while. Don't wait up for me.
Wait!
I made some sandwiches. Try a little before you go.
You didn't have much for dinner.
I don't feel like it. I'll have it later...
Taesik!
Hey.
What are you doing here, at this hour?
What is it? Why do you look like that? You're scaring me.
Tell me. Did you get into some kind of trouble?
Taesik!
About Angelica...
What about her?
Is Angelica here?
Did she come to find you?
No. Her child came.
What?
She had my son and raised him alone for 9 years.
She sent him to the airport today and he came.
A child? Then you have a son?
Yes, apparently.
You have a son?
Yes...
You have a son? Is that it?
I told you! How many times do you have to ask?
Let's get out of here.
Is Angelica crazy?
How else could she do this?
How could she have a child, hide him for 9 years...
Then send him to you like this?
I know. I can't find a way to understand her either.
Why should you understand?
If she was sane, she wouldn't do something like this.
This is unbelievable and it's wrong...
Wait. Is he really your son?
I haven't doubted that.
No. She's not that kind of woman.
She's not that kind of woman, so she hid your son for 9 years?
Then she took him to the airport and put him on a plane?
All alone too, without a guardian?
She must be crazy. That's not normal!
You're always so weak-hearted and easy.
Why are you getting so angry?
I'm the one who wants to die and is going crazy right now!
Can you even imagine how I feel right now?
How could this happen and at this moment?
Why now?
I've been blessed for the first time and am finally happy.
I thought I could live a proper life now.
At this very moment...
What did Angelica say when she sent him over?
Tell me in detail.
Nothing special. This was all...
She can't raise him any longer. She wants me to take care of him.
So what do you want to do?
I don't know yet.
I can understand that.
I don't know yet but I don't think I can raise him.
What do I tell mom and dad? How about Yejin?
I've only just gotten myself back together.
Dad always looked on me with a disapproving gaze.
He's only just started to see me as a proper human now.
Now I have to tell dad about him?
For now, I have to find Angelica's contact number.
My friend's looking into it. Can you try to find out too?
- You have contacts. - Okay.
I have a friend in the Philippines. A colleague is working there too.
I'll use all my contacts to look into it.
Can you give me her full name, age and her old address?
Yes. Thanks.
Did you have dinner?
How can I eat right now?
What is it?
Why does nothing work out for you?
Why's your life full of misfortune?
It's mom.
I'm coming in.
What's going on?
Our breakfast table has never been so quiet.
I know. It's like they all planned it.
Taesik's at a funeral in Daegu. He's going straight to work.
Taehui's working late.
Even Taepil went out early this morning.
Taepil too? What's going on?
Did Taesik go to meet Yejin's parents?
What did Taesik say? Did it go well?
I haven't asked him yet.
What's gotten into you? I thought you'd be the most curious.
I know...
Mrs. Hwang!
The duck restaurant owner is coming here today.
His restaurant's under repair so he has some free time.
He's coming to see our ducks again. Misuk just told me so.
What's this water, Mrs. Hwang?
Water that garlic was washed in and water that had green tea bags in it.
It's good for sterilizing and getting rid odors.
Welcome, sir.
Thank you for making a second visit here.
I'm so grateful.
Welcome, sir. It's an honor to have you here.
There's no need to be so polite.
I would run 1,000 miles to find good ducks.
However, if they're not good, I can't buy them even if Misuk begs me to.
Of course.
As I said, whether it be our ducks or the pen,
there is nowhere better than Ojakgyo Farm.
I can tell you that confidently without a trace of guilt.
Let's see the pen... No.
I've steamed some duck.
- Would you like to try some? - Shall we?
The quality of meat is decisive. Let's eat it while it's warm.
Yes, it should be eaten when it's warm.
This way, sir.
Here you are.
I don't think I can buy them. The duck meat smells.
It smells?
It doesn't smell at all.
All I can smell is duck.
Yes, he means the smell of duck.
- It smells of duck, Mrs. Hwang. - Because it is duck.
Of course duck meat smells like duck.
You have to get rid of the duck smell completely and sell them.
If it smells like this, it can't compete on the market.
I'm sorry.
I don't think it's sufficient to use at our restaurant.
Misuk, come and look at the pen while you're here.
There's no use in that. The meat smells.
It's most unfortunate. I'm really sorry, Mrs. Hwang.
I'm so upset, Mrs. Hwang.
We worked up a sweat cleaning for nothing.
I know.
I don't know if we'll even be able to sell them before the year ends.
I don't know what's happened.
How do you get rid of the smell of duck?
How do the other pens do it?
If I knew, I wouldn't be in this mess.
Go to school. You'll be late.
Yes, see you later.
Hey, it's Hyeonuk.
Just go.
- How can we do that? - Let's just go.
Thank you. I missed the bus. I didn't want to catch a taxi.
Good morning.
- Taebeom? - Yes.
Why are you going to work together?
- The bus stop... - The subway...
We met at the subway station where there's a bus stop.
I missed the bus too. The team leader saved us both.
Really?
Why are there men's socks here?
Whose are they? Are these...
- They're mine. - Excuse me?
They're mine. They've been there for 3 days. Put them down.
Team Leader, you have quite big feet.
Yes, I like to wear large socks.
Remove your hand now, please.
Team Leader, you're such a humanist.
Your first reaction is to protect your colleagues.
I respect you so much.
Taebeom, be good to her.
I think "Accursed Cha" has the hots for you.
Be careful, you don't want to end up being her man.
Okay, my friend?
What? Why do you need a maid?
I'll clean the house for you.
Is Taebeom still angry?
Why is he so narrow-minded? He should be a man.
Alright. I said okay!
I'll open the door for her and stand aside.
I won't touch his things. Don't worry about it.
Ever since she got married, all she cares about is her husband.
- Is Taebeom still angry? - I think so.
He looks like he has quite a temper, doesn't he?
You were too extreme. You stepped all over his pride.
What happened? Did you fight with Taebeom?
Your sister...
Have you contacted your friend?
No... I'm looking into it.
You won't find her. But even if you did, what would change?
You already signed the contract. Even if you said,
"Let's cancel the agreement.
Why didn't you tell me your store was making losses?"
Do you think she'll care one bit?
She planned to trick you.
So just do as I say.
That store's made losses for months. Don't lose any more money.
Just go back to the States now.
Operating that huge store and paying wages...
If you keep being stubborn, you will really go bankrupt.
Wash your hands clean and go back.
I'm getting up. I have an appointment.
Nam Yeoul! How dare you get up when your sister is speaking?
Honey, she's not a child.
She may look like a baby and seem naive to you, but she's 35.
Don't treat her like a child.
She has her pride too.
If she had her pride...
- Let's just eat. - Alright. Let's eat.
I will clean the table and the desk in the study.
They work as journalists at IBC. There are some important papers.
Please clean up everything else.
The laundry basket's on the verandah. Please separate and wash them.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Does he sleep here?
Why are the books here? They should be on the shelf.
Help! Some strange men have taken Jaeun!
They look like debt collectors. They dragged her to that building!
- Please help! - Hurry up! Please!
- That way. - Oh, no...
- Where's your stepmom, Jeong Yunsuk? - I don't know.
I would cooperate if I were you.
Don't touch me!
How dare you? Think about what's good for you.
Do you know how much money Jeong Yunsuk owes us?
I don't want to hit you either. Where's Jeong Yunsuk?
I don't know. I haven't seen her for several months.
Just saying you don't know isn't going to solve anything.
One more time. Where is Jeong Yunsuk?
I have no idea. I would tell you if I knew.
- Jaeun! - Who are you?
- This is a university! - What are you doing?
So do what you can to find out.
That way, you won't have to face us again.
- Let's go. - Yeah.
- Jaeun, are you okay? - Goodness.
- Did they hurt you? - Oh, no...
She's crazy. How much money does she owe?
Why are you here?
How did you know I was here?
I don't care how you know. Go. I don't want to see you.
I didn't want to come here either. I have something to tell you.
Some scary men keep coming to school, looking for you.
I think they're debt collectors.
They're really mad and they're looking for you.
They seem really scary.
Just seeing them made me shake all over.
Be careful.
Did you come to tell me that?
Thanks. I mean it.
I don't deserve to have you come all the way here for me.
I know it's useless telling you this now.
But I didn't betray your father while we lived together.
I wasn't seeing Mr. Kim.
I really wanted to tell you the next time we met.
Though it won't be as much as you, I do think of your father a lot.
I really miss him and want to see him.
I will probably never meet a man as good as your father.
I'm sorry.
If your father comes back alive, tell him this for me...
I, Jeong Yunsuk, was very happy during those years.
Your debts... How much are they?
I don't know how much they are, but hang in there for a few months.
I may be able to get some money.
Until then, stay on the run and hang in there.
Please.
- What are you doing here? - How about you?
I'm out to investigate. Why are you here?
I came to meet someone.
What's wrong with your face?
I got hurt.
I'm becoming like you. You got hurt here too.
Why are you so angry?
- Who's angry? - You are.
- You were sighing heavily earlier. - I never did that.
You always avoid the subject when people talk about you.
Even celebrities don't want to stay mysterious these days.
Where are you going? Can you give me a lift to the station?
Get in.
I went to meet my stepmom...
At the student hostel over there.
Didn't she leave you after your dad went missing?
Yes, that's right.
I wasn't going to meet her again.
And it wasn't because she left me. She betrayed my dad at the end.
I was never going to see her again.
But I had to tell her something.
I had no choice but to meet her.
But she talked about dad.
She thinks of him a lot.
She realizes now that dad is the nicest person in the world.
She misses him a lot.
I was never going to forgive her.
I was going to hate her forever.
But I couldn't when she talked about dad.
The fact that someone remembers my dad as a wonderful person...
The fact that someone remembers dad and thinks of him just as I do...
That made me forgive her.
I'm so hopeless.
What about you? Why are you so angry?
- When was I angry? - You were.
I can tell just by looking at your face now.
- I'm not angry. - Don't! You're so unfair!
I told you everything, every embarrassing detail.
Why do you think I told you? So you'd tell me your story.
Tell me. Why are you angry?
I made a mistake. A stupid, hopeless mistake.
I lost very valuable evidence.
I didn't see things realistically or objectively.
I just believed and saw as I wanted to.
I trusted someone that I shouldn't have.
Why is that your fault?
If someone stabbed you in the back, they're the one at fault.
All you did was get hurt.
The one who stabbed you. He's the bad fool.
I mean, bad person.
If you were going to get stabbed anyway...
It's better to have been stabbed when you fully trusted them.
If you don't trust them and they betray you, it's even more infuriating.
It's even more foolish.
Don't regret your faith.
Every time my stepmoms left... Every time my dad got conned...
I always told him that.
What I'm saying is that it wasn't your fault.
Do you want coffee?
Yes.
Taepil, when are you coming home? I want to talk to you.
Hello?
- Is this Hwang Taepil? - Who is this?
Thank you for coming.
As I said, I would like to hear your advice.
How did you know about that area without even seeing the store?
That store had been losing sales for 5 months.
The retail area's dead. There are hardly any people.
You asked me if I had a plan to improve sales.
Do you have a good plan?
I have to open soon. I don't know what to do.
Do you want to know a strategy that makes zero losses?
Yes!
That store...
Don't open it.
- Excuse me? - Don't open it.
If you open now, the operational costs and wages...
You'll just expand your debts. Don't open. Just forget it.
You will just lose take over costs and prevent further losses.
Excuse me, Taepil. I really want to operate that store.
I want to succeed too.
Business is for those who can succeed, not those who want to.
Even those who are good can't guarantee success. That's business.
There are so many people who want to run a business, but can't.
Even if they have the skills, they have no support or
they have to give up because they don't have the money.
How could you sign the contract without knowing anything?
You should look into it for at least 6 months and research.
You should gain experience at other stores.
You should've researched the market then signed the contract.
Do you think business is easy? Is it child's play to you?
I'm not qualified to say this. I got carried away.
I don't know why I'm getting mad at you when I hardly know you.
I know it's silly for me to get worked up like this.
Anyway, my best advice to you is to just give up now.
Why doesn't money like that come my way?
Thanks for coming, Misuk.
You wanted to tell me something. What is it?
Let's sit down first.
Misuk, I overreacted that time.
I'm sorry.
Forget it. It's all in the past.
Hurry up and tell me. I have to go.
Okay.
Well... Misuk...
I have a favor to ask you.
Don't get shocked and listen.
- Is he really your son? - Yes.
So?
So why are you telling me this?
Misuk, can you take care of Guksu for just a few days?
Just until I contact his mom.
Just for a few days.
I can't trust anyone else.
I can't keep making him sleep at a motel.
Your house is close, so I feel safe.
- Are you crazy? - Misuk...
Do I seem that easy to you?
Do I look like such a pushover just because I said I liked you?
Just go ask Yejin why don't you? What? Can't you do that?
Is that why you're asking me?
- That's not it. - It is too!
You've disappointed me again.
I have no good feelings left about you now.
I don't want to! I refuse!
Why should I look after your child? What are you to me?
I have no intention of doing that. Ask someone else!
Misuk. Please, save me.
Let go! Let go of me!
Let go! You rotten fool!
Let go of me!
Misuk...
Taepil, you're home.
Where were you all day?
I met a friend. I'm going downstairs.
Did you have dinner?
Why don't you answer your mom?
I ate.
Taepil...
What you said yesterday... What did you mean by that?
Do you...
Do you know? Is that it?
The written promise...
Is that it? You know?
- Taepil. - Let go, don't touch me.
I'm scared of you, mom. I'm scared and I don't like you.
It's horrifying. How could you?
How could you do such a thing?
How could my mom do that?
How could you steal the written promise and throw her out so heartlessly?
I trusted you, mom. I was always on your side.
You didn't want to give up the farm, as the promise was missing.
I understood you better than anyone else.
Because I know you've worked hard for the last 10 years.
The written promise disappeared like it was fate.
The land belonged to you again.
I thought that the heavens recognized your hard work and effort.
I thought your work and effort had moved the heavens.
Of course...
I believed that the person who worked the land, should own the land.
Even though Jaeun was in pain and having such a hard life...
I tried to avoid her and pretended I didn't see, even when I did.
How could you steal it?
Did all this begin because you were a thief?
How could you? How could my mom...
How could the person I love and respect the most, do that?
How could you steal that?
What did you just stay? Who stole the written promise?
What is going on? Who stole the written promise?
