Jiwan, good job.
Did everything go well?
Yes.
You finished earlier than I expected.
They were easy to talk to.
The negotiations went well.
They asked to see the blueprints?
Return the blueprints right away.
Yes, sir.
What is it?
What's wrong?
Your call is being forwarded
to an automated voice message system.
Hello?
I got it.
They obtained the product blueprints.
Leaked?
Technology leakage?
This is our new product.
Do you know how much money went into this?
You let them steal the blueprints?
What if they come out with knockoffs?
Jiwan, what are you going to do about this?
How are you going to take care of this?
I'm sorry.
I'll take responsibility for this and...
Take responsibility?
Let's just skip the domestic market.
What about the legal issues from overseas?
You'll pay for the legal costs, compensation
and the damages to the company image?
What are you talking about?
I think they were spies disguised as buyers.
They brought a copy of our blueprint cover
and switched them right away.
So?
You're saying we fell for that?
Do you know how serious this is?
Kim Jiwan might end up
being fired for this!
Excuse me?
Yes, I know that.
How could you let this happen?
I'm sorry.
Haengsuk!
Haengsuk,
listen to me before you go.
What do you want to tell me?
What more lies are you going to tell?
Is Eunsu Sangjun's daughter?
Did I hear you two wrong?
How could you deceive my mom so long?
Haengsuk.
I was a complete idiot.
How could I let that happen...
Don't blame yourself too much.
We must figure out how to resolve it.
The two men who pretended to be buyers
left the country and can't be reached.
So you can rest easy.
I ordered Audit to suspend Kim Jiwan's company
email and phone line and investigate on him.
Mom!
Mom?
What's the fuss about?
I'm in here.
Aunt, shouldn't you be at work?
I knew it wouldn't last long.
Did you get fired again?
No, grandma.
You came home to get something, right?
Aunt came home to get something, grandma.
Don't side with her.
You know she can never
hold a job long enough.
She got fired or she quit.
Mom...
Don't say that, grandma.
If you talk now, you'll get wrinkles.
Okay.
- Close your mouth. / - Okay, close my mouth.
Stay still for three minutes.
Grandma, you're going to be beautiful.
What good will that do?
Your aunt gives me gray hair and wrinkles.
Grandma, no talking.
Okay.
Eunsu, can you leave us?
Okay, aunt. Let me just clean these...
I'll do it, so just leave already!
Have you gone mad?
How dare you scream at her?
You should know when to throw a fit.
How dare you scream at Eunsu?
Mom, shouldn't you be at the restaurant?
Did you have an argument with aunt?
Eunsu, go to the supermarket.
Get me some fish to make soup tomorrow.
We could go together in the evening.
All the good ones will be gone by then.
Okay, I'll go.
Try to make aunt feel better.
She tends to hold a grudge.
Can't you see how much weight Eunsu lost?
You sure are gutsy to scream at my baby
when you're freeloading here.
Mom, all you care about is Eunsu?
Mother, I'm coming in.
What are you doing here?
Did you two have an argument?
So she ran here to tattle on you?
There's something I must tell you, mother.
You're actually taking turns now?
Okay. What is it?
Seonhui...
I'll tell her, Haengsuk.
Mother.
About Eunsu...
What about Eunsu?
Eunsu!
Eunsu is...
What was that called?
Yes, contest.
She's busy preparing for some contest.
Contest?
So? What's wrong with that?
Well, you know... Umm...
About Eunsu's drawings.
She needs some expensive computer program,
but we don't have the money.
So Seonhui was... Well...
She said no, but I told her to buy it.
It can't be that expensive. You're her mom.
Is it really expensive? Is that why?
Wait, what were you going to say?
She dotes on Eunsu,
and you want her to have a stroke?
Do you know how scary you can be? How...
I want to tell her.
If it ensures Eunsu would never find out,
I would love to tell mother everything.
How could we keep it from Eunsu?
The moment mom finds out, she'll pass out.
To mom, Eunsu is the final gift
Sangjun left her before passing away.
She's Sangjun's gift to me, too.
Sangjun handed Eunsu to me and said,
From now on, this child is our daughter.
From that moment on, Eunsu became
our daughter, outside whose blood she is.
All right.
I won't tell her. But!
Oh, whatever! I don't care.
- Mom... / - Please stop pacing around.
You're driving me mad.
When's father coming home? Is he working late?
Why do you ask?
Did you get into trouble again?
I'm not cleaning up after you.
Mom, it wasn't me. I...
Is it something too serious to tell me about?
Did he catch you meeting Eunsu?
Just what do you take me for?
Father, you're home?
Father...
I need to talk to you about Jiwan.
Don't get involved.
But father, Jiwan's your friend's son.
None of that matters concerning this issue.
What did Jiwan do?
Did he get into trouble?
Is it your job to clean up after those two?
Hi, Hyeondo.
If you have something to say, hurry up.
I have to go and help set the table.
Do we need a reason to call each other?
I just called to hear your voice.
Is Jiwan okay?
What?
Why are you asking about my brother?
Did something happen?
No.
Go and help your mom.
Those siblings must be rubbing off on me.
Seonhui,
can I have some more rice?
Okay, Haengsuk.
Don't get it for her.
You go and get your own rice.
You've got arms and legs.
I asked her because she's in the center.
Seriously,
why are you tiptoeing around Seonhui?
Man...
Seonhui, are you mean to mom when I'm gone?
Haengsuk, how could you say such a thing?
Have you gone mad?
Who would dare to be mean to me?
For a freeloader, you sure are getting bolder!
Having a job finally isn't bragging rights!
Mother... Don't be so hard on her.
Grandma, try this pork. It's really good.
Oh, forget it. I lost my appetite.
I'm stopping because of the kids.
When will you grow up?
Jiwan, did something happen at work?
Why do you ask?
Hyeondo seemed worried about you,
so I was wondering if something happened.
No, nothing happened.
The work is a little tiring.
Even when I was tired, I liked going to work.
I envy you.
You'll get a good job. Don't worry.
Okay.
Goodnight, Jiwan.
Keep your chin up.
Thanks.
Here's your roasted rice tea.
What's going on with Eunsu and Hyeondo?
What? Why do you ask?
You're going to threaten me?
When I was against them, it was fun,
but now that you joined me, I lost interest.
What would Mr. Jang Taesu think
if I get rid of Eunsu?
She did it because she's afraid of me.
Getting rid of Han Eunsu must be hard
for you to say such a thing.
Getting rid of a girl like that is no trouble!
You have a lot to do, don't you?
You seem extra vicious, so things must be bad.
They are.
Things are very bad.
So I'm taking care of them one by one.
- Grab everything. / - Yes, sir.
Jiwan,
go to Internal Audit.
Yes, sir.
It's just a formality.
Keep your chin up.
It's as if someone set you up.
What if Jiwan
says something to involve you?
Like what?
Like you ordered him to meet them or...
I met the two of them around
3 p.m. at the entrance of the building,
had a one-hour meeting in the conference room,
and I walked them to the 3rd floor elevator.
Who else from our company was there?
I was the only one.
Why did you go to a meeting like that alone?
The others were all busy with work,
and I was put in charge,
so I went alone.
Were the others very busy?
Yes, especially on that day...
Why did you take the blueprints there?
I didn't take them with me at first.
The buyers wanted them during the meeting,
so I took them.
Wasn't it outside ordinary protocol
for you to take the blueprints there
just because the buyers requested them?
It was out of the ordinary,
but we needed that contract,
and I checked with my team leader.
You didn't leave during the meeting?
I left once to bring the blueprints, and...
I'm sorry.
One of the buyers spilled juice on himself,
so I showed him to the restroom.
Did you take the blueprints with you?
No.
You didn't leave them there on purpose?
No.
I didn't want them to feel like
I didn't trust them.
You went to an important meeting alone,
and you took the product blueprints there.
But you didn't take them with you
when you stepped out of the meeting?
No.
Anyone would think that was suspicious, right?
You're right.
Whose fault do you think this is?
Jiwan has a strong sense of responsibility.
And that sense of responsibility
will become the trap that will ruin him.
I'm sorry.
This is my fault.
One thing that
bothers me a bit is having to do this
to Sangjun's son.
But then again, what choice do I have?
Each of us must go back to where we belong.
I'll stay in this seat right here,
and he'll go back to the bottom.
Your appointment is at 3 p.m. today.
Okay.
Jiwan,
how did it go?
I told them what happened.
Yes, once things check out, you'll be fine.
Don't worry.
Thank you.
Yes, that's right.
Excuse me?
Mr. Kang Jaecheol?
I got it.
- Mr. Kang. / - Yes?
They want you at the president's office.
Why is he asking for me?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I don't understand what...
I hear you and President Jang go way back.
You were in charge of his company long ago?
I see.
I would've acted the same if I were you, too.
Right.
That's why I avoid people from my past.
I'm sorry about that.
It's okay.
Anyway, I felt badly about snubbing you.
I felt like you didn't warrant such treatment.
No, I just charged at you.
I'm very sorry.
But are you sure
the vending machine coffee is okay?
It's fine.
Sometimes I crave vending machine coffee.
Oh, right.
Why did you come to see me the other day?
Right...
Actually,
do you remember a woman named Lee Jeongae?
Leave.
Should I just tell Seonhui everything?
Lee Jeongae.
Yes, Lee Jeongae. I remember her.
She was the bookkeeper at Taehu Industry.
I see...
Actually,
I don't know how to put it.
What is it? You can tell me.
She wants the records from Taehu Industry.
I told her I couldn't give them to her,
but she kept insisting.
I had a bad feeling about it,
so I had gone to tell you about her.
Uh, well...
I think that's because of
how she used to work during that time.
She didn't like it when she didn't get to
keep all the records by herself.
Is that so? I see.
By the way, what kind of records do you...
Things like transaction records.
- Transaction records? / - Yes.
- You still have those? / - Yes.
We keep them at our document storage.
Only the employees can go into the storage?
Yes, you can't go in unless you're an employee.
I was wondering why Jeongae was lying low,
but she's been digging around.
Find out about that storage.
How long do they keep their records,
and if it's possible to get them discarded.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
We've been a bit distant lately.
I know.
You introduced a doctor and a prosecutor.
But my girl thinks the character is more
important than what's on the surface,
so things didn't work out very well.
No, she hasn't quit her teaching job yet.
She's taking some time off to...
What?
Don't treat her like an old maid!
She's very young.
If my daughter's hopeless...
Wait, hey...
You!
I can't believe this woman!
Who was it?
Nobody important.
Man!
When Yeongju was a teacher, she called often.
I'm going to find Yeongju a great husband.
You!
Where did you go looking like that?
To get some ice pops.
You want some, mom?
Ice pops?
You're not a kid!
What's wrong with you!
I should ask the same.
Did something bad happen?
You're taking it out on me, right?
Don't go around looking so shabby.
What if you run into someone?
I have to wear makeup to go to the store?
Who cares if anyone sees me?
This is how everyone lives.
Others can do it, but you can't!
What if you run into Jiwan?
Minja.
Wait, now that we're at it,
how long are you going to keep this up?
You looked put-together when you were teaching,
but now, you don't even look at the mirror.
You look messed up. Just look at yourself.
You should groom yourself even more now!
I lost my chance with that beautiful girl!
So he'd think that!
Don't you have the least bit of pride?
Now you're picking on my appearance?
Please don't mind me.
Why didn't you say that when
I changed your diapers?
Now that you're all grown up,
you're sick of me?
How lame.
How dare you!
Honey,
have you seen Jiwan?
No, why do you ask lately?
No reason.
Yeongju said it's over, so you should stop.
Stop what?
I'm going to find her a great husband
and make him regret losing Yeongju.
These look nice.
Our company is working on designing
a portable air purifier.
And you fit the project's needs.
So you're going to give it to me?
Let me see your drafts first.
Can you come up with functional designs?
I'll decide after I see them.
Thank you.
Please don't.
I should thank you.
I'm relying on your experience of
working at the Best Global TFT.
I came because I was worried about that day.
I see.
I'm always making you worry.
Have you talked to Haengsuk?
Did she understand?
I got her to calm down,
but I'm still nervous.
I'm not sure how my mother would take it.
What is it?
Nothing.
All you put on is toner and you're beautiful.
And you only use free samples.
Stop that. You're embarrassing me.
You don't have customers coming on to you?
Who'd come on to me?
But you're beautiful.
Am I the only one who thinks so?
You must be the only one.
My face is covered with wrinkles.
Where?
Looking that beautiful at your age is,
like Yeongju said, fraud.
You're so beautiful.
Men wouldn't leave you alone, I'm sure.
I said there's no one like that.
Really?
Why are you talking nonsense?
I can't lose anymore weight.
Look at how loose the ring fits.
Why am I losing weight over those two men?
Ms. Jeong!
Are you going somewhere?
To clean up after Hyeondo's mess.
Don't ask. It's too much of a bother.
Have a nice day.
Yes, we're leaving now.
I'll text you the place.
Thank you, Mr. Park.
I'll buy you a drink soon.
Bye.
Ms. Jeong Sugyeong's been very busy.
Wait, but I already told
Eunsu not to see my mom,
but she goes and meets her whenever she calls.
Hyeondo, you look like you're going to leave.
Don't dream of it.
You're required at the meeting.
Mr. Yun, I...
Seriously, please!
I'm sorry, mother.
I didn't think you'd be here already.
Sit.
I want this to be our last meeting.
Doing this too often is tiring for both of us.
Okay.
Tell me what you want to say.
I already said everything I wanted to say.
Moth...
Ms. Jeong, I came today to listen to you.
So just like you told me that day,
you don't intend to break up?
You two might have a change of heart,
so leave you alone?
Is that it?
Yes.
You think I'm a joke?
I went easy on you, and you think I'm a joke?
Wait, what?
You tried to soften me up
and now you're acting cheeky!
Oh, no, my ring!
What do I do?
I don't believe this!
I knew it felt loose!
Still, how could it just fly off?
Please sit down. I'll find it.
Oh, forget it!
I can't believe you!
Don't you know whose fault this is?
So I'll find it. It happened because of me.
Please sit down.
I'll find it.
Didn't she say she'd find my ring?
Why is she looking in there?
Hey!
Just come back.
Oh?
Mother, I found it!
What?
Oh!
You found it?
I got it!
I got it, mother.
Here it is, mother.
Oh, Eunsu...
I told you not to call me "mother."
Right, Ms. Jeong.
Mom!
Mom, seriously!
You asked to see her again?
Eunsu, I told you not to come, but you came!
Seriously, mom...
Did you call him over again?
No, I never called him.
Right.
Unless you're an idiot, you wouldn't.
Are you Superman?
How did you know to come here?
That's a secret, mom.
Let me look at you.
Your face looks fine.
What's this?
Is that dirt?
Mom! You came prepared, didn't you?
How dare you!
Listen to me, Hyeondo.
- Why? / - That's not true.
Listen to me and believe me.
I'm not nice enough to endure hardship alone
and keep it bottled inside.
If I'm mistreated, I'll tell you,
and when I'm in pain, I'll show it.
So trust me and trust your mother, too.
Okay.
I trust you, mom.
I can't believe I gave birth to him.
Are you okay with that shirt?
Wait, I'll get you a new shirt.
I can go home and change.
Okay, let's go.
Where are you going covered in dirt?
Come. I'll drop you off at your neighborhood.
Thank you.
Please come again.
Bye.
I said I never want to see you again.
Are you still angry?
Why don't you get over it?
Get over it? As if it was something trivial?
You still get mad at the littlest things.
You haven't changed at all.
Seonhui, will you give me something to eat?
I haven't had a decent meal today.
Seoulites aren't as kind as they used to be.
Get out.
You sure hold a grudge.
Jeongae, get out.
Seonhui,
don't be so mean to me.
You want me to drag you out?
Leave before I drag you out.
Fine.
I'll leave.
I should ask Eunsu to buy me lunch.
What?
I gave birth to her,
so she should at least buy me lunch.
You...
What happened to you?
Is she your friend?
I'll be over there, so get me if you need me.
I didn't know Seonhui had a friend like that.
What a surprise.
Lee Jeongae went to see Ms. Han Seonhui.
What should we do?
She got kicked out of her motel yesterday,
and today she went to see Seonhui?
That's not a good sign.
Jeongae tried to get transaction records
from Kang Jaecheol, which means she knows.
The food here is good, Seonhui.
You've always been a good cook.
Nice. I haven't found a good restaurant yet,
so I should come here often.
Why are you doing this?
You sure are asking too many questions.
You're not interested in Eunsu.
Why are you mentioning her and...
Who says I'm not interested?
I gave birth to her,
so of course I'm interested.
You should've done a better job with her,
so I could be happy about having her.
I have
never met anyone more decent than Eunsu.
See?
You raised her to be a good girl,
but you can tell she was never well-off.
If you were well-off,
she could take care of her poor birth mom.
Jeongae.
Don't be so stiff.
I came to tell you something shocking.
Why don't you listen to me first?
It wasn't easy for me to come here.
You'll be enraged, so I braced myself.
Seonhui,
if you come into money thanks to me,
you'd give me a cut, won't you?
You have to, okay?
You have to promise me.
Seonhui,
listen carefully.
Back then...
Yes, what is it?
Jeongae,
you met Mr. Kang Jaecheol?
Yes.
So you know the gist of things.
Yes.
I see.
That means we need to meet again.
Of course.
We must meet again.
Finish what you were saying.
It was nothing.
I made it up to get free food.
Did you expect something great?
What?
That was good.
I'm quite full. Thanks.
Goodbye, Ms. Jeong.
Thank you for bringing me home.
I didn't bring you home!
Why did you get off? Get in!
I'm going to walk her home.
Oh, boy...
This is...
You can't go home alone looking like this.
Here.
Let's go, Mr. Park!
Bye, mom.
What's this?
You should go. Your lunch hour is over.
It's okay.
I bought them so much coffee.
You'll run into my mom. Her restaurant's near.
Maybe I should go and say hello to her.
No, your shirt's more important.
Let's go, okay? Let's go.
Oh?
Hello.
Were you at my mom's restaurant?
Yeah.
I went there to see her.
Hello.
Your boyfriend?
Yes,
I'm Eunsu's boyfriend.
We should go.
I'll see you again.
Okay.
They must have just started seeing each other.
Jang Hyeondo!
You left your phone.
It's sunny. You'll get a tan, mom.
Here.
Go home, mom.
I'll see you at home.
Don't get fussy and go home, mom.
She's dating Taesu's son?
She must have a few tricks up her sleeve.
How did she get their son?
Oh, my.
Honey,
can you help me with this patch?
Why is my shoulder hurting so early today?
That job, maybe you should...
This isn't because of my job, honey.
If it were, I couldn't ask for your help.
You must be crazy busy.
You never used to forget anything before.
What was that?
Nothing.
Dad,
I have to go do research today,
so can I borrow your car?
Yeongju!
You're not the best driver. Just take the bus.
Buses don't go there.
Dad, just this once.
Actually...
I already lent it to my co-worker.
A coworker? When?
Tell him to bring it back.
I can't take the bus.
I have to meet with the agency right after.
Be quiet.
Your dad already said no.
I'm sorry. Next time, I'll...
I only ask a couple of times a year,
so tell him to bring it back.
Where does he live? I'll go and get it.
He said he really needed it.
I don't believe you.
Your dad's not doing this on purpose.
Why didn't you ask him in advance?
Don't ask out of the blue and throw a fit!
Whatever. Forget it.
You only care about your coworkers.
You put your coworkers before your family.
Be honest with me.
What did you do with your car?
Actually...
I sold it.
Why?
Because of your paycheck this month?
Actually,
I got a pay cut.
You're too timid to get into trouble,
so whose mess did you clean after this time?
The bank president?
Or the vice president?
Or was it a subordinate?
How could you keep doing...
Wow, this is nice.
This is perfect for the Chinese market.
You mean it?
Can we sign a contract?
The $100,000 you mentioned...
Ms. Kang, I'm disappointed.
Excuse me?
We must make a real drama that can change
the financially driven entertainment world.
Going with money will ruin your drama.
But...
What does that have to do
with my signing bonus?
I mean, don't dwell on the signing bonus
and let's make a drama first, okay?
Give me two synopses within ten days.
Coming up with two synopses isn't easy.
I don't believe you.
How am I supposed to trust you now?
You changed your words.
I'm disappointed in you, Ms. Kang.
I'm disappointed in you, too!
What's the world coming to?
Writers talk about signing bonus first.
But I just bought him pizza...
Maybe I shouldn't have said it.
He's the only person who likes my writing...
Ten days.
Fine. I can write two synopses in...
What? Today's dad's birthday?
I know mom's been busy going out,
but she forgot her husband's birthday?
Seriously...
You only care about your coworkers.
You put your coworkers before your family.
Idiot...
I'll do my best.
Okay.
Have a good trip.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
It's been a good day.
I'll be able to meet my quota for this month.
Mr. Jang...
You,
are you really trying to get me fired?
What's this about...
Can't you tell numbers?
Why did you put an extra zero!
Don't you know how serious that is?
I don't know...
It wasn't me, it was someone else...
Someone else who?
Are you putting this on Mr. Ma who quit?
I'm sick and tired of you.
You won't get away with this.
Why don't you just quit already?
What are you trying to do?
Don't you know why they want you to retire?
We're trying to get rid of managers
like you who are wasting the bank's money!
When you're gone,
several lower positions can be spared.
Get a conscience!
I'm sorry.
This won't ever happen again.
What are you doing?
You keep talking,
and I'll just cover my ears, is that it?
When are you going to get this done?
We told you to leave, but you won't!
The least you can do is not cause trouble!
Are you trying to get me fired, too?
Mr. Jang, please stop.
Stop what?
Mr. Jang, please...
What?
Please stop.
Stop that, sir.
Haven't you done enough?
He's my dad.
That man is my dad.
He gets it.
Anyone who heard that would get it,
so stop it.
He's my dad.
He's my dad...
That was nothing. Don't cry.
Didn't you have a job before?
When you make a mistake, you get yelled at.
It's okay.
I'm okay.
I'm fine.
It's okay.
Stop crying.
Everyone's been talking about this.
There were four people who asked me
what was wrong with him.
He's not a criminal.
This was completely unexpected.
What could we do?
If you get pegged as an industrial spy,
you'll get isolated at work.
But why did they take everything from his desk?
Jiwan.
The warehouse wants someone.
Why don't you go?
Okay.
Thank you.
Jiwan!
Where are you going?
To the warehouse.
But you know what?
Something's weird.
What do you mean?
You went after them right away.
So how did they get away with the blueprints?
I'm not sure.
Every product blueprint is embedded with a security chip.
If you try to remove it by force
or take it outside without proper notice,
the alarm goes off.
Really loudly.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I checked, and I was right.
And there's even a budget set for that.
So if they were trying to remove the chip,

Here. This is for you.
Thank you.
I have a small favor to ask.

Be sure not to get seen together.

She dotes on her

Eunsu and Sangjun aren't related.
She's not his blood.
