I will start work from next week no matter what.
No matter what?
Yes. I'm saying I'll work even if you oppose it.
So please allow me for the peace of the family.
What if I oppose it to the end?
No, I don't think you can.
You will allow me soon.
You're insolent beyond compare.
Even though you were never brought up with discipline,
...you really have no manners!
What's the reason I should do as you tell me?
You smile?
Are you curious?
This is the reason.
What is this?
Guess you already met Jisoo Shin and heard everything.
That everything she did to Minjoon was a fake.
Their encounter, breaking-off of marriage, and re-encounter.
And the problem is,
...she didn't do it by herself.
I'm sure someone abetted her.
What are you talking about?
Why do you bring her up to me?
Let's not waste time. When I brought this up,
...it means I found out who was behind her.
Are you saying I am the one behind her?
Now we speak the same language.
Yeah?
Then what is it in your hand?
A certified copy of register...
...of the officetel she stayed at.
It clearly shows that you own the building.
It explains your relationship with her, right?
So? What are you going to do?
I clearly remember...
...what you told Jaejoon at the TNC restaurant in the past.
"There cannot be two suns in the sky.
You must elbow Minjoon out of the way...
...and succeed the company."
I understand your situation but enough is enough.
Although Minjoon isn't your own son,
...you should not ruin his life like that.
He is quite a nice guy to succeed the company,
...and will not treat his half-brother cold.
So please, don't be anxious.
Stop doing things like this.
You know what? I'm still worried.
A weed in your lawn...
...can soon make the entire lawn overgrown with weeds.
Minjoon is not alone.
It's obvious you'll contaminate him.
And you should know this.
If I were to eat the crumbs that fall from his table,
...I wouldn't have given birth to my son.
So just give up your ambition and stop pushing me around.
Just mind your own business!
Are you done?
I was going to let it pass but I don't think I could.
I'll show this to Father and tell him everything.
Would that be okay for you?
You're so off base.
You think I'd be scared by the evidence you have?
Wrong.
Did you forget what I mean to Taesoo?
I am the reason and the purpose of his life.
Even if you tell my husband everything I did,
...he wouldn't believe you. Why?
What he believes is not the truth, but me.
Now you see? You worked in vain.
So don't get into trouble with me and just stay out of my sight!
Honey.
When did you come? Just now?
Father.
Honey. Honey...
Honey. Honey!
I was going to let it pass but I couldn't help.
Honey. Honey, are you okay?
Why don't you go to the room and lie down?
What's wrong with him? Why is it so noisy?
Heera, what's going on?
- Honey. - Father, take the medicine.
I called Dr. Seo. He'll come soon.
Honey.
Honey, are you okay?
Go lie down in bed, please?
How could you... How could you...?
Don't get me wrong by what you just heard.
I know you must be shocked but it's not true.
You're mistaken so please calm down and...
Mistaken?
Am I mistaken?
I heard you admit everything from beginning to end.
Yet, am I mistaken?
Honey.
You abetted Jisoo to approach Minjoon...
...and then broke off their wedding.
And again, you had her come to Korea to separate them.
How could you do that if you are a human being?
Isn't he our child?
Honey, that's not true. I never...
Mind you!
Now I see clearly...
...how Minjoon fell for that girl...
...and why you spoke for the two and persuaded me...
...to approve their marriage.
How could you do that?
How I've cherished you.
When he grew up motherless, could you not love him?
Did you really have to do that to come between us?
Honey.
Acting like such a good wife and loving stepmother,
...you always called him "My Minjoon, My Minjoon."
But behind his back, you made plots to ruin his life...
...alienate him from me.
Now are you satisfied?
Were you that desperate to leave our property to Jaejoon?
Was the CEO seat that tempting?
I really trusted you.
My 70 years of life has been in vain.
I thought...
...you were the biggest blessing in my life.
But how could you disappoint me like this?
How could you betray me like this?
My life has been a waste.
It really has been a waste.
Father! Are you okay?
Really?
Are you that disappointed?
Then I'm sorry...
...for having stabbed you in the back instead of repaying you.
But am I the only one to blame?
Am I?
Don't you think you made me like this?
What?
While you cared about Minjoon, how did you treat Jaejoon?
You called him a weakling, not even half as good as Minjoon.
You compared the two all the time and broke his spirit.
I know.
Why did you do that?
Is Minjoon that special?
Is it because he reminds you of your old wife?
Then you shouldn't have remarried me!
Honey!
Let me remind you of this.
Remember what you said when he was offered a marriage?
You said you'd appoint him as your successor...
...finish the legal procedure.
Jaejoon was only 18 at that time.
Not knowing he lost your favor,
...he studied hard to go to medical school to please you.
But you only cared about Minjoon.
I had no other choice but doing that for my son!
Still, it cannot be justified!
If you're a human being...
Yes! I did it.
I knew it was bad but I couldn't help.
Don't look at me like that.
There's but one step from good to evil.
Even a good man can do evil if he's desperate,
...and if it is for the sake of his child!
I'd do the same if I were put in the same situation.
Please stop and go in.
Get off me. You can't blame me either.
If you had ever treated me as your mother,
...I wouldn't have done that.
It's been over 30 years since you lost your mother.
Yet, you still regard her as your only mother.
Since you didn't accept me, I did it to survive with my son.
Stepmother.
Stepmother! Stepmother! Stop calling me like that!
I'm so sick of it!
How dare you raise your voice?
You made him feel dejected for 10 years.
But far from repenting it, you're raising your voice?
Are you still impenitent?
You really make me feel sick of you.
I don't want to see you again.
Taesoo, what are you saying?
Heera, calm down and say sorry to him.
Blame him for his deeds later.
Right. Listen to Mom.
Yeah?
Are you so sick of me that you don't want to see me?
Alright.
If that's your wish, I'll leave now.
Heera, Heera!
Heera!
- Father. - Father.
Father.
Why does he call us so urgently?
Mr. Park almost collapsed from shock.
So what's the reason?
I assume Lena Jeong provided cause for it.
Lena Jeong? What's with her?
The Qingdao Hospital might come to nothing because of her.
What?
Why does she have to get in the way of everything I do?
What do you mean?
When did she get in your way?
Have you met her personally?
What are you talking about? She's a total stranger to me.
I saw her for the first time when you were on Healing Recipe.
But you always overreact when it comes to her.
When?
Gosh, it's a headache.
When I barely put Yura and Jaejoon together,
...why does this have to happen?
You came early. Still 10 minutes left to the time.
It's the first time you called me out first.
Why did you ask me out?
Are you stuck on me?
What?
I worried over nothing as if I forced you to drink with me.
Finally, you're attracted by me, huh?
Look, Yura.
You don't have to explain.
If you can't get a horse, ride a cow. I can go out with you.
It's not that.
I understand.
I too grew fond of you as we often drink together.
You are manly, considerate,
...and you accept my drunken frenzy.
Yura...
You need to date many types of men to marry the right one.
So let's date to practice.
I found a nice pub. How about a drink there?
Let's go.
Calm down and listen to me.
Do you have something to tell me?
Tell me. What is it?
I'll tell you when other people arrive.
What is it?
Dongu.
Yura.
Hey. Is it a double date?
Or are you going to buy me a drink of gratitude?
Anytime, with pleasure.
So, why did you call us?
Jaejoon and Yura, give me your cell phones.
My cell phone?
Why?
What are you doing?
Positioning-tracking app?
Done.
You still have a long way to go and shouldn't get caught.
Share your schedule with each other to prevent a mishap.
Look, this is invasion of privacy.
Why should I sacrifice my privacy for them?
No. I don't want to.
Okay, okay.
I'll treat you big tomorrow with beef and beer.
Do us the favor. Please?
Really? You gave your word.
Yes, Uncle. What is it?
Of course I am with Yura.
What?
Okay, I'll be right home.
Something happened?
My father is sick.
Dr. Seo is with him. What should we do?
I hate that I'm too tender-hearted.
I'll come with you.
Don't forget to buy me a drink.
You should be thankful to me, Esol.
Let's go.
Thank you for everything.
I'll call you. Bye, Dongu.
You're okay, right?
I don't know if I was right to tell you to go to the end.
You look like you're at a verge of breakdown.
I know. But he needs me now.
Don't think your love will be a storybook ending.
You can get disappointed.
I'm ready for a sad ending.
So I regard every day as the last day I might see him,
...and do my best.
I see.
How long should we do this?
Aren't you afraid of being caught?
Why don't we tell our parents the truth?
No.
Not yet.
When you're such a coward, how can you date Esol?
It's not for me.
If my mom finds out, she'll give a hard time to Esol.
Since I'm too weak to protect her now, I'm putting it off.
Can you help me until then?
I'll appreciate you all my life.
I'm irritated.
I hate a complex situation but how come I got involved?
Alright.
I'm going to go to heaven when I die. Sure I can.
It's still high but not too high.
Mr. Park, how's your headache?
Do you feel better?
Get a good sleep.
Then you'll feel better. I'll come again tomorrow.
Yes, please get some sleep. I'll stand by outside.
We'll let you rest.
Why are you sitting up? Sleep.
You knew it, didn't you?
Didn't Lena tell you?
But why didn't you tell me anything or show it at all?
I understand my stepmother.
It's also my fault that she didn't show affection to me.
So please forgive her and let it pass.
I can't.
I'm too disappointed to see her again.
Father.
I'm sorry.
When your mother was dying,
...she asked me to take good care of you.
But I couldn't even keep that promise.
I'm a sinner.
No.
You always did your best.
I have nothing to complain about.
I have to get back to work.
Watch Mr. Park and bring him to the hospital in emergency.
Don't you need to visit Mrs. Park?
She lost her reason to have left home.
She won't listen to me now.
I'll visit her later.
- Bye. - Bye.
Making porridge? How skillful...
...to pretend to be helpful when you caused this trouble.
Get out. How dare you enter here?
Why? Shouldn't I come here?
This is my in-law's kitchen.
Get out now.
Did you forget our promise to avoid each other? Get out
You think I came here to kill time?
I'm warning you. Don't ever spoil our business again.
Your business?
We've waited for Mr. Park's approval on a project,
...but you dared to spoil it?
If you intrude our business again,
...I will unveil your past.
My past?
It is your past as well.
Go ahead if you have guts to do that.
How dare you!
Do you know what I'm going through?
Because of the girl you gave birth...
What are you talking about?
You said she died. Then...
Anyways, you're an obstacle in my life. Got that?
Lena.
What are you talking about so seriously?
She's too worried about your father.
Have no worry. He'll get well soon, Mrs. Park.
The porridge is ready to serve.
Can we talk first?
How's Father? Did he calm down?
Did you have to do that?
I told you to forgive her and let it pass.
I was going to.
But since she might stab me in the back,
...I couldn't take it lying down.
I must attack first before I get attacked.
I don't think I did wrong today, so don't blame me.
Is this how you've lived so far?
Like battling with enemies?
Yes. I have lived to realize...
...that it's the way to protect myself.
So what is left to you?
You lost people, money, chances. And you are left alone.
I beg you.
Don't live a life like that.
You should not.
Minjoon.
Listen to me.
You might've lived like that since you were alone,
...but not anymore.
You don't need to since I am with you now.
Don't live like that.
Tada! Spicy pumpkin stew!
Enjoy it!
Wow, it's the delicacy of the season! Let me taste it.
It hits the spot!
Hits the spot?
It's hot!
Dad, I burned the roof of my mouth!
There's no one to trust in the world.
Youngu, it's too early for you to acquire the taste of life.
After a lot of burning the roof of your mouth, you'll see.
Oh!
Esol, this is for you.
Mom.
I took a little and deposited the rest.
Make a deposit by yourself from next month.
Don't give me your paycheck.
But you'll need money.
Don't worry about the households.
We're free from debts, so I can earn our livelihood.
Esol, then by me a delicious meal and clothes.
Okay. Name the date. I'll come to your hospital.
What? No, you can't!
Why should you go there? No, don't!
Mom.
No. Don't go there. Never ever! Got that?
She's really strange.
She always gets riled up when it comes to my work.
What do you mean?
My boss and Mother have known each other for a long time.
How?
When she was a housekeeper of his family 20 years ago,
...he did wrong to her.
That's why.
His wife came to our restaurant to see your mom.
She grilled Yangsoon about their past affairs,
...and your mom was sweating hard.
Really?
What could it be? It was really long ago.
Perhaps, it has something to do with Esol.
Mom told me to keep it a secret from her.
Really? Something to do with me?
What could it be?
I don't feel like eating.
It could be so much for all our effort,
...if Heera divorces Mr. Park.
That's impossible. He loves her so much.
He can't remarry at his age.
It was 10 years ago. She'll be alright.
Can you forgive if it's in the past?
The longer you're deceived, the more you feel betrayed.
Oh, right.
Speaking of it,
...what is your secret?
Secret? What secret?
A 20-year long secret between you and Eunsol's mom.
What are you talking about?
Dad, are you cheating Mom?
No.
She overreacts to nothing.
A call from the medical society.
Geez. He's really fishy.
I smell something fishy about him.
So what is it?
Your father had some shady past 20 years ago.
Why are you calling me from the morning?
You think I felt like calling you? Do me a favor.
What is it?
Keep your wife from coming near us.
What are you talking about?
Did she come to see you?
That was not all.
She grilled me about our past and it was nerve wrecking.
So what did you tell her?
Did you tell her everything?
You think I'm crazy?
It's about my daughter's future so I kept mum.
Anyways, your wife seemed to be no quitter.
So please stop her, okay?
Ms. Goo. Ms. Goo!
This is nuts.
How can I stop Hyejin?
If she meets her again, she'll find out everything.
What should I do?
I'm going nuts.
Have coffee.
This is all I can give you.
Aren't you on an empty stomach?
Seems you drank all night. Let's go out for breakfast.
I have no appetite.
Aren't you curious about Father?
It's written on your face.
Besides, Dr. Seo and Dr. Choi must've paid a call,
...and taken good care of him.
It's not a matter of his physical health.
What about his wounded heart?
You know how much he loves you.
Let's go home...
...and beg for forgiveness with me.
Jaejoon, shall I divorce your father?
I thought over and over again all night.
It's spilt milk now. What'd be the best I can do for Jaejoon?
Mom, if it's for me...
Listen to me first.
If it's for you, I can even crawl before your father.
But he probably won't even trust me or love me.
When he loves Minjoon like the apple of his eye,
...it's obvious he'll shield him even more.
After all, you'll be ousted from successorship.
Instead of seeing it happen,
...why not receive division of property and start a hospital?
Do you think it makes sense?
Doesn't it? I can tell he'll treat me cold.
It's better to divorce him.
Moreover, you're going to marry Yura this fall.
However hard I think, that's the best.
What about your life? What will become of it?
Fine that I live in wealth and honor as you wish,
...but what will be left to you?
Can you live without your family, Father and money?
I told you.
I won't wish for more if you succeed and that's all I care.
So let's do that. That'd be the best.
The best? What is the best?
I shouldn't have been born and that'd be the best.
Then you wouldn't have done that and would live your life.
How can you say like that?
You know whom I live for.
My life is meaningless without you. Don't you know that?
Jaejoon.
Jaejoon, Jaejoon.
Don't worry, Jaejoon.
Agitation is bad for your health.
Don't mind anything. Just take care of your health.
I'll take care of the rest, okay?
Don't worry, okay? Jaejoon.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, Jaejoon.
Is beef for Table No.7 ready?
Yes, here it is.
Hey, why don't you rest at home on your day off?
Do you work part time to raise marriage funds?
Sorry?
Well. I should work hard and earn more money.
Yes, coming!
Well? Isn't my son right-minded?
Yes. The educated and the haves are not always great men.
What matters is the heart.
Who do you mean?
You mean Eunsol's boss?
Don't even bring him up. He's trash.
Hi! I came to the right place, huh?
How early you came. Come this way.
Of course, since it's for free.
I'll start with soju and beer.
Alright. Give me a minute.
Smells great.
What brings him here at this hour?
Oh, I shouldn't get caught.
Good...
What brings you here?
Why didn't you answer the phone? Follow me.
No. I don't have anything more to talk with you.
But I do. Follow me.
Let go of me! Let go!
A 20-year long secret between you and Eunsol's mom.
Then is she her mother?
Hey!
What's wrong with you?
I told you I won't see you again,
...but why do you and your wife bother me in turn?
So why did you initiate this?
Did you come to quibble over it?
Alright, I'm sorry. Forget about it and don't come again.
"Forget about it?"
It's already spilt milk.
One who spilled the milk must wipe it up.
Get in the car. We need to talk in some quiet place.
Get off me! I have to work so say your piece here.
You are really!
Will you take responsibility if my family is destroyed?
Will you take responsibility if my wife finds out?
Why should I? You are to blame for your own wrongdoing.
What are they talking about?
What did I do wrong?
If you hadn't showed up, I would live happily now.
But you came into my life and caused this trouble!
What? Can't believe this guy.
You want me to say who is to blame?
Without me, what would your life have become 23 years ago?
Twenty-three years ago?
Would you have lived in peace after abandoning her?
Seeing you this brazen-faced,
...I'm sure you would've lived happily without feeling guilty.
Why do you bring up the old story?
We regarded her as dead,
...and you promised to take it to the grave!
As dead? How can we regard her as dead?
Although you abandoned her, she is your child.
She was born out of wedlock, yet she's still your daughter!
Daughter? Born out of wedlock?
Listen carefully.
I have never regarded her as my daughter.
I didn't want that child.
Since her mother gave birth to her to hold on to me,
....I gave up on that child.
So never say that she is my daughter.
I agree.
So I'm begging you not to show up before us again.
What is this?
We both wish not to see each other again.
Then one of us should leave far away.
What?
Are you telling me to go away with my daughters?
Then should I leave when I live a stable family life?
You can't earn that much money even if you work whole life.
Just go back to Kaohsiung.
What?
You also don't want her to find out about me!
So for her sake, leave Korea as soon as possible.
Wait. Wait.
Hey, look. Wait! Take this back!
So my dad... He abandoned his child,
...a newborn baby.
My dad has another daughter?
You can do it today, right?
I'll give it a try.
Go, Jaejoon!
I'm by your side, so take it easy.
I should get stronger.
Wait here. I will go alone.
But...
Just wait here.
He favors Minjoon.
It's obvious he'll shield him even more.
After all, you'll be ousted from successorship.
Instead of seeing it happen,
...why not receive division of property and start a hospital?
Understand your mother.
I must become stronger.
Since I can't change her, I should change myself.
Right. Then she'll believe in you and let you live your life.
Are you okay? Why are you so quiet?
Have you worked at that restaurant for long?
No. I work as part time once in a while. Why?
Are you close to female staffs there?
To some yes, to some no.
Why do you ask?
You know the woman with big eyes and perm hair.
Are you close to her?
Who do you mean?
Almost all female staffs have perm hair.
Why? Did she offend you?
Well, she and my dad are...
Your dad?
No, forget it.
A sister? Sister out of nowhere?
I don't know who but it's really ridiculous.
Are you okay? Sorry, I should've come with you.
Don't worry. You'll be alright.
It's okay.
Let's get out of it. We can try again.
Wait!
Wait! What should we do?
Jaejoon.
You were right. It was nothing.
When I went up to the top there,
...the sky looked different.
You mean...
Thank you, Jaejoon.
Honey, take me with you.
I've lived too long and seen everything.
Mom, have some vitamins.
Go away.
It'll make me have a sour stomach.
Honey, take me with you.
Mom, it's been three days since Heera left home.
What if she is divorced?
What? Divorced?
Then what will become of us?
Obviously, we should leave this house.
How can I live after leaving this house?
The mere thought of it make me dread.
Grandmother, please have some.
Put it away!
When I can't even swallow water because of you,
...are you provoking me now?
I'm sorry.
Even though you hate me, please eat this and cheer up.
Mother will be okay. Don't worry too much.
Really?
She'll be okay? Did you catch Heera?
Where is she?
Just go back home.
When it turned out that you did wrong,
...holding out like this will cost you.
There's timing in reconciliation.
It you miss it, that's the end.
Heera, making someone a traitor can happen instantly.
When Mr. Park is weak-hearted,
...who knows if Lena Jeong might slander you?
Please, don't miss the timing.
Go and grab Mr. Park's heart again.
You think I can?
Though Taesoo looks easygoing, he is stern in a way.
His heart probably turned away from me to Minjoon.
Besides, there is Lena Jeong.
Will Jaejoon even have a chance to succeed the company?
I'll feel only humiliated if I beg for forgiveness.
So are you going to give up before you fight back?
Will you give up on the future of Jaejoon in fear of Lena?
Yes, I'm afraid.
I'm not sure if I can change Taesoo's heart.
I'd better divorce him as soon as possible...
...and request the division of property...
...to build the Qingdao Hospital.
Go back. I have to hurry.
If Minjoon gets the heirship, I might end up a beggar.
It takes too long to serve food. Find a way to shorten it.
Yes, sir.
Also, work on PR strategies for lunchtime get-together.
Yes.
What brings you here?
I stopped by before I take the lunch to Father.
He can rarely eat.
Did you have lunch?
No. I came to have lunch with you.
Actually, since it's the first day of work,
...I didn't have time for lunch.
Come on.
Why, you have no appetite?
Somehow I feel pity for you.
What are you saying?
I thought I was the loneliest and unluckiest person.
But it seems you were as lonely as I was.
Although you had a family, you were alone.
Maybe that's why I was drawn to you,
...since we are alike.
You told me the other night...
...not to live like battling with enemies...
...and relax since you are with me now.
It keeps coming into my mind.
You always said you want to live happily, right?
And live well off as well, right?
So you believe if you struggle to succeed and rise higher,
...you'll be happy, don't you?
Am I wrong?
Can't you see my family?
Does my stepmother look happy?
Do I look happy?
Or, does Jaejoon look happy?
There's no limit to one's desire.
If you don't stop, you'll hurt everyone, including yourself.
I see what you mean.
Let's not live like that.
That's foolish.
Can you promise?
Answer. Can you?
It won't be easy but I'll try..
How are you, Mother?
Seems you're in your element.
Why? Did Taesoo promise...
...he'll appoint Minjoon as a successor if you do this?
Did you come to see Father? I'll leave you alone then.
I prepared enough lunch, so please enjoy it with him.
Don't flatter yourself.
Now that you pushed me out, you think you own the world?
Oh dear, no. You can't change your birth.
Even if a lowlife like you becomes the first lady of TNC,
...how long do you think it'll last?
You still didn't get it?
It won't do you any good to provoke me.
What?
Minjoon said today...
...that avarice knows no bounds...
...so if you don't stop, it'll hurt everybody.
He said we shouldn't live like that.
So are you going to turn over a new leaf?
Why not?
Why would I struggle when the top is within reach?
I need to be content.
Father completely relies on Minjoon and me.
If you want, I can ask him to forgive you.
You might want to just stay quiet.
So you mean, I'd better curry your favor to come back home?
You know what? I have no desire to go back.
I'd rather give up everything than fawn over on you.
Give up? What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
This is nuts.
What's in her mind to think of divorcing him?
Division of property is not easy.
If she gets divorced penniless, what will become of me?
Hi, it's been a long time. How is it going?
You sound like you're waiting for my call.
Get to the point. Yes or no?
Did you find something on Lena Jeong?
Would I call you if I didn't?
I've combed through her past and discovered a huge secret.
Really? What is it?
Give up? Do you mean you're going to divorce him?
Yes, Dr. Choi. What is it?
Are you with Mr. Park?
Go ahead. What's this regarding?
At last, we've got something on Lena Jeong.
What is it?
Don't be shocked. She has a baby.

The day you came to me was the day I buried her in my heart.
If she were alive, she'd bet at your age.
That means she just brought forth a baby.
What? Did you even say that?
Never ever bring it up again.
More than that you had a baby before marriage,
...the fact that you abandoned her is shocking!
True love has no fear.
I will not fear to love you.
So how will you make up for his wound?
If you accept me, I want to be a true mother to you.
