I might be mistaken.
But I want to ask you.
Ask me what?
Ms. Lee Jeongae said
you are Eunsu's birth father.
All we have between us is money,
but how interesting.
Others don't think that way.
I see.
So that's why your mother...
Okay. So you came to ask me that?
Whether or not Eunsu is my daughter?
Yes.
Whomever Eunsu's parents are,
didn't you decide to accept her as family?
It's because of Hyeondo.
Hyeondo?
Why are you bringing Hyeondo up?
They are seeing each other.
They are?
The girl Hyeondo is seeing is Eunsu?
Who is she?
Someone who makes me regret
for not having taken my life more seriously.
So the lady in question is Eunsu?
Please give me an answer.
Is Eunsu really your daughter?
Why should I answer that question?
Lee Jeongae, Han Eunsu,
and now Hyeondo...
Hello.
Yes.
Where are you, Jeongae? We need to meet.
This time, I have a reason to see you.
What is it?
I was thinking of seeing you,
but you called me first.
You've been causing so many problems
that one of them came looking for me.
What are you talking about?
Kim Jiwan. Sangjun's son.
Maybe I should call him Han Eunsu's brother.
You had a daughter?
He asked me something strange.
He asked if Eunsu is my daughter.
So?
What did you say?
"I don't know what you're talking about.
I never laid a hand on that cheap floozy."
Why?
Why would you tell such a lie?
I'm sure you know why I told that lie.
Where did you get all that money?
Where did it come from?
Tell me where that money came from.
Did you...
No.
I got it from the baby's father.
Yes.
He abandoned the baby to keep his family,
so I deserve this.
Sugyeong came to see me today.
She told me to keep you on a leash,
before rumors start about you seeing Taesu.
It's not him, is it, Jeongae?
The man who gave you the money...
It's not Taesu, is it?
What's wrong with it being Taesu?
Had I told Seonhui it wasn't your child,
you think she would've backed down from
finding out where the money came from?
She would've tried to get to the bottom of it.
And she would've found everything out.
Do you want her to find out like I did
that you stole Sangjun's money?
You don't care if she finds out?
Just tell her she's your daughter.
Seonhui would never tell Sugyeong.
She's the kind to keep it to herself.
What's wrong with that?
Right.
Nothing would be wrong with that.
So she's your daughter?
She's yours?
Come in.
Father, you called for me?
Father, I've been working really hard
to become a decent man.
I know.
You don't have to tell me.
So, how's it going with your girlfriend?
Well...
Some days are good, some days are bad.
You know how it is.
Really?
How does her family think of you?
This is unlike you.
Why are you interested in
what her family thinks of me?
I'm just wondering
if her family isn't against you seeing her.
Who'd be unhappy with me?
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Okay.
If you are serious about that girl,
get her family's permission first.
If you, Jang Taesu's son,
get turned down by them,
I have no intention of accepting her, either.
Okay.
Sure.
If there's nothing else, I'll go.
You should go to bed, father.
Eunsu.
Han Eunsu.
Of all people, why did it have to be her...
What did Mr. Jang Taesu say?
Did he give a different answer?
He didn't give an answer.
What do you mean?
I don't understand why he didn't answer.
But if she isn't his daughter,
he would've cleared it up.
What are you going to do now?
I'll have to make her quit her job.
I'll make her turn in her notice tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
I can't work here anymore.
Is something wrong?
It's something personal.
Quitting now will hurt your resume.
Why don't you reconsider?
I'm really sorry.
I feel like I've only caused a fuss.
Please say goodbye to everyone for me.
Kim Jiwan.
What are you doing here?
We need to talk.
Well...
Did your mother say anything?
She's not angry anymore, right?
Hey, have this first.
That's enough.
I heard your opinion mattered the most.
I thought your mom always agrees with you.
So why is it so hard?
Break up with Eunsu.
Jiwan, you said all you ask for is sincerity.
Don't you remember what you said right here?
Is there another reason? What is it?
There must be a reason why you
and your mother are being like this.
What is it? What?
Eunsu turned in her resignation today.
You won't see her at work anymore.
Hey!
Why are you doing this?
You should at least tell me why.
Why?
After the kind of past you have?
Don't ever show up in front of Eunsu again.
Han Eunsu turned in her resignation.
What?
How can she do that in the middle of a project?
Man! Talk about being irresponsible.
What was the reason?
I'm not sure, but it was for personal reasons.
Personal reasons?
Fine.
Hyeondo.
- Yes? / - Come here.
Okay.
Did you know about Eunsu's resignation?
Yes.
Did you tell her to quit?
Because we found out about you two?
Why did she quit?
She's your girlfriend.
You must have talked about it.
Uh...
I'd be grateful if you
didn't ask personal questions.
What?
I think Eunsu got the job through Hyeondo.
I think so, too.
Hyeondo's girlfriend wouldn't need a job.
That's right.
Stop talking about other people's business.
By the way, why did Eunsu quit?
Can't you tell me?
We should be able to tell each other that.
I won't tell anyone else.
Just tell me.
Why did she quit?
Let's talk later.
What about dinner?
Did you eat?
If you didn't, I'll fix something up for you.
The job was temporary to begin with.
Eunsu.
Don't worry.
I quit, just like you told me to.
But you must know something.
We still won't break up.
Not seeing each other doesn't mean
we will forget about each other.
When time passes...
Please.
I want you to try, too.
You know you're being really strange, right?
You're like a different person.
How could someone change this much?
Eunsu.
You're not doing this for me.
You're doing this for yourself.
You never got along with Hyeondo's mother.
Isn't that why?
Still, how could you be so rude to Hyeondo!
I don't care what you say.
If you don't see each other,
Hyeondo will get over you and move on.
That's the kind of person he is.
You're so cruel.
You two come out.
Resignation? Did you say resignation?
You made her quit because of Hyeondo?
Are you out of your mind?
Let's be frank here.
Taesu's family's being humble,
but Hyeondo isn't so bad for Eunsu.
How can you be such an ingrate?
Mom...
You always said Taesu's family's beneath us.
Be quiet, girl.
Why do you hate Hyeondo so much?
I asked her to do it.
I know Hyeondo's past,
so I couldn't let him date Eunsu.
Jiwan, you...
Seonhui, what did you say to Jiwan to make
him act this way when he dotes on Eunsu?
It's not because of mother.
It was my decision.
Hi, Eunsu.
I have to go back soon.
Okay.
I won't be able to call you for a while.
How are you going to go without seeing me?
I'll try.
If that can change my mom's mind,
I'm going to tough it out.
So...
Please don't hate my mom so much, and...
Eunsu.
Yes?
I really like your mother.
It was like that from the start.
It just happened.
I thought about why,
and I think it's because I see you in her.
When I see her, I think,
"Oh, she's my dear Eunsu's mother.
She gave birth to her and raised her,
and that was how Eunsu came to me."
To my mom, I'm everything.
So with time, she'll go back to being herself.
My happiness means everything to her.
Of course.
She will.
Where are you going? What about breakfast?
I have employee training today.
I have to go.
What is it?
You're being mean because of that suit guy!
Stop talking about the suit guy.
And this is embarrassing.
Did you have to beat him up there?
Looks great in a suit?
Your dad looks two times better!
Why do you keep saying "the suit guy"?
When I worked so hard to get over him?
Yeongju!
You're not going to eat?
I have to go. I'm late.
It's just a part-time job. Nothing serious.

Suggested Resignation List
Mr. Kang, did you see it earlier?
He was filling out the resignation list, right?
I think so.
Oh, this is crazy.
This keeps going on and on.
Whose name do you think he wrote down?
I'm sure it's my name.
Okay.
No.
Your performance last month was great.
I didn't meet my quota, so I'm worried.
I doubt he put your name on it.
Mr. Kang, how do you do it?
You can tell I lost weight, right?
I'm doing it because I have to.
I've been trying my best thus far,
so let them bring it on.
Dad, I'll be near your office. Can you meet me?
Yeongju.
Dad!
Give your mom a break.
She was born to look out for her children.
It's in her DNA.
She's not looking out for me. She's being mean.
Wait and see.
She'll start nagging me about blind dates.
When I told her about becoming a writer,
she was so mean.
I thought she was quiet for a minute,
but she found something else to pick on.
How's your writing coming along?
It's hard, isn't it?
I love it, so I have to bear with it.
Right. That's the answer.
Dad, do you still think your job's the best?
Come to think of it, you don't say that now.
But I do.
I get paid on time every month,
and everyone thinks I'm successful.
Working at the bank is the best.
Sounds suffocating enough.
Yes, it does get a bit suffocating.
That's why
I love watching you enjoy your freedom.
I love how my child can afford to do
what she wants, and avoid what she doesn't.
I love how I have a dad who lets me do
what I really love.
You mean it?
Of course.
You have my back,
so I can do whatever I want.
I'm not dense.
Wow!
So you owe it all to me!
Thank you for being aware of it.
If my child knows, that's all I need.
Check this for me.
It looks good.
- Can I get your signature? / - Sure.
Hyeondo,
is something wrong between you and Jiwan?
No, nothing's wrong.
Then why do you two look so awkward?
Jiwan, did something happen between us?
See?
Here.
Thank you.
If nothing's wrong, face each other and smile.
The story is very original.
It's just original. That's all?
No.
Uh, yes.
But this is the first draft.
It's interesting and very vivid.
I did so much research for that vividness.
This is good, so with some editing,
this script might come out really great.
Yes, I'm prepared for that.
Shall we see if anyone would adopt it?
Put it up for adoption? Why?
Aren't you going to film it?
You know I didn't get listed.
But I still want you to direct it.
You're the only one who loves my writing,
so you'll be the best at it.
Do you really think so?
I don't know when I'll get listed.
I'll wait then.
You'll be able to get listed someday.
Huh?
Ms. Kang's mother...
Do you know who conned Yeongju?
Had I known who it is,
I would find him and rip his mouth apart.
Oh, my! Mr. Producer!
Ms. Oh, hello.
What are you doing here?
You're here to talk to Yeongju about work?
Uh, yes.
Do directors and writers meet this often?
Yes, we do.
You two might start getting attached.
Hello, Ms. Oh.
Hi.
You're going home now?
Yes.
You look different now that you have a job.
Oh!
He works with Yeongju at the broadcasting...
Yes, you can call me Director Heo.
Yes, Director Heo.
- I'll see you again. / - Okay.
I'll get going as well.
Okay. Bye.
So he's Director Heo.
The jerk who conned Yeongju
was Heo something, too.
Heo Seonggeun
- Director Heo Seonggeun? / - Yes?
Oh, my! You!
I wasn't sure,
but you're that Heo Seonggeun!
You made my daughter suffer,
and you have the guts to show up here?
Does my daughter look like a doormat to you?
The suit guy!
Over there! That's the suit guy!
Jiwan's the suit guy?
Is the suit guy Jiwan?
What?
Oh, my, it is Jiwan!
That jerk dumped you?
Did he?
Why, I should just!
How dare he dump my daughter!
Where do you think you're going?
You're going to beat him up like Hyeondo?
You're trying to humiliate me again?
Mom, this isn't love. This is being nosy.
Nosy?
Mom, it was a stupid crush.
Jiwan has no idea.
Oh, no...
That's even more infuriating!
Why would you suffer alone?
Tell him!
You should tell him before giving up!
Jiwan met someone. He has a girlfriend.
He just started seeing her, so I can't!
Do you really want to humiliate me?
Why are you blaming me for everything?
He's just my friend's brother now.
I'm trying to get over him,
so why do you keep rehashing it?
It's hard enough as it is.
You should've told me, then.
I had no idea.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm not!
Tell me when you feel hungry.
You're not mad?
I'm furious.
That stupid girl!
Think of the heartache she suffered over Jiwan!
What could we do?
Her self-esteem is more important.
Let's not talk about it, Minja.
I'll find a great guy for her
so she can either date or marry him,
and make Jiwan jealous.
That'll show Jiwan.
That jerk.
What's wrong with Yeongju?
That's what I'm saying.
What a jerk.
The issue with Eunsu and I aside,
I'll talk to Mr. Yun,
so have Eunsu come back to work.
Even if it's a temp job,
don't you know quitting in the middle
will hurt her resume?
Stop talking about Eunsu.
This is so frustrating.
Your family's so weird!
How can you make her quit her job over me?
Don't you care about Eunsu?
I said stop.
Should we go see a movie tomorrow?
Something happened at home, so I can't.
Is it about Eunsu?
Is that why she quit her job?
Oh, I shouldn't ask anymore questions.
What does that have to do with the movies?
Let's go.
I don't think I can tomorrow.
Then,
since you don't have time tomorrow,
would you like to come over to my place,
and have a cup of tea?
Next time. When things settle down.
You said you have feelings for me in Daegu,
but you're busy and won't go to the movies.
Why did you tell me you like me?
If you're so busy, go.
I can walk home alone.
I can, really!
What brings you here, mother?
Sugyeong.
Yes, mother.
Seonhui's weird, but don't worry.
I gave the kids my permission.
Permission to do what?
Eunsu and Hyeondo,
don't worry about them breaking up.
I'll take care of everything,
so don't you worry about it.
I scolded her.
They're in love, so why make them break up?
I'm sure Seonhui has a good reason.
There is none.
She's just weird.
What's wrong with Hyeondo? I don't get it.
Yes, Hyeondo is great in every way.
Of course.
That's why I thought he'd be perfect for Eunsu.
But Seonhui hates him, so what can we do?
I can't let Hyeondo cause trouble
between you and Seonhui.
I'll just have to find someone else for him.
Sugyeong, are you upset?
I'm not, mother.
I didn't want to get involved,
so I left them alone, but if I were to nitpick,
I wouldn't have trouble finding him a match.
From family tradition, wealth, to connections,
we have to match and pair every detail.
That's the way the upperclass matchmake.
It's worse than an M&A.
Is that so?
Why do they do that for marriages?
I know what you mean.
I don't like it, but that's how it's done.
Millions of dollars are at stake.
Our children's feelings are second to business.
Come to think of it, Seonhui's being smart.
She's doing it because she knows how much
it takes to get a son-in-law like Hyeondo.
Oh, right!
Has Eunsu studied abroad?
She'd need to speak at least 3 languages.
How can Sugyeong say that to me?
Goodness.
See, mom?
I told you she was being shallow.
When I first became your housekeeper,
do you know how mean she was to me?
No.
A person can't change overnight like that.
She's mad because Seonhui pushed her too far.
Mom! You're living in your own bubble!
Have some porridge.
Do I look like I can eat porridge?
Yes.
You look like you can eat porridge.
Oh, boy.
What is it, Ms. Oh?
What? Mr. Shin's at the restaurant?
What do I do? I'm at work right now.
Okay, I got it. Bye.
Mr. Shin?
You know?
The man who did business with Sangjun.
You're talking about that Shin?
Wait, why did he go to the restaurant?
Why?
Probably to have pork stew, I'm sure.
Why else?
Wait, mom. Can you cover for me?
I told you to stop barking up the wrong tree.
Stay put and work.
Say,
I checked, and the manager won't be here.
Oh, I see.
Thank you.
It's been a long time, Ms. Lee.
Yes, it's been a while.
Sit down.
Yes, ma'am.
What brings you here?
Well, I was passing by, so I dropped by.
Okay.
I know she seeks you for advice.
I heard Sangjun told her to talk to you
about the kids when he was alive.
Seonhui does everything Sangjun said.
Yes, ma'am.
She still hasn't gotten over Sangjun.
I try to kick her out, but she refuses to leave.
I know how she is.
Are you still single?
Why are you still single?
Your family's been rich for generations.
I was having so much fun making money,
that it just happened that way.
Is that really all?
What other reason could there be?
None, I'm sure.
The photos came out really nice.
Taesu, you love your wife so much.
Aren't you worried she might see these?
You've been coming home early lately.
Your company must be doing great.
It has to do great, so Ms. Jeong Sugyeong
can spend all the money she wants.
Nothing's under my name, so no thank you.
You're talking about the secret fund again?
With the amount of money you spend,
I wouldn't need it if I were you.
Recipient: Jang Taesu
Ms. Jeong, can I have a glass of ice water?
You always want ice water when it gets hot.
Here's your ice water.
What photos are they?
They're nothing.
They looked like yours.
Eunsu and Hyeondo are seeing each other?
Did you know about it?
The girl Hyeondo's serious about was Eunsu?
What? You're going to let them get married?
Oh, no way!
They're just dating.
I don't want to be in-laws with them.
Hyeondo was just dating Sangjun's daughter?
That Hyeondo...
Together with my friend's daughter,
who worked for me at my company...
She meets every condition I said no to.
You know Hyeondo's been trying his best.
What are you going to do to him this time?
Well,
I can't get involved in something like this.
You deal with it and end it.
I'm relieved that wasn't so bad.
But I have to get rid of Eunsu?
Lee Jeongae
Taesu, did you get my gift?
I didn't mean anything by it.
I added some value to my power of attorney.
Sugyeong gets really upset over such photos.
I can already see how she would react.
Making her upset is so easy.
Jeongae.
We shouldn't mess with each other's family.
Too bad.
I don't care because I don't have family.
Fine.
How much do you want?
This time, the amount is a bit large.
But I'll hand over my power of attorney.
I'm serious.
You can trust me.
You said the same thing ten years ago.
Bring me the money, and I'll hand it over.
Then you can sleep at night.
Fine.
The line in that picture,
and the line there have to be differentiated...
- I will. / - What's more important is...
- Check this, please. / - Yes, sir.
- Got it? / - Yes.
Excuse me.
I'm busy.
What?
The president?
Okay.
- Here. / - Thank you.
You still can hold your liquor.
Not as well as in the old days.
I pass out after a bottle.
How's your mother doing?
She passed away.
Thanks to you, she received treatment,
and passed away peacefully.
Okay.
All I can do for you is to give you money.
Come to think of it,
we used to sit like this and drink all the time.
Right.
Is something bothering you?
Why don't you come to the headquarters?
I know you're not a suit-and-tie guy,
but I need your help.
You're the only one
who's seen my dark side.
Mr. Kang,
the resignation list for our office isn't up.
What's going on?
I know.
I haven't received any emails yet.
But other departments' lists are up.
Mr. Jang didn't write anyone's name down?
Are you out of your mind?
Why didn't you put any names on the list?
Everyone did pretty well,
and nobody deserves to leave.
Even when your position is on the line?
I'll look again.
So, you've saved my number.
I need to see you today.
I'm sorry. I should've been the earlier one.
It's okay. I came early.
You look even worse.
You should've taken the wild ginseng.
I heard from Hyeondo.
You're not one of his one-month girlfriends?
You're serious about each other?
Yes.
I heard your family's against him.
Excuse me?
Seonhui is so crafty.
She objected first, knowing we would.
Hyeondo is way out of your league.
Don't you agree?
You knew that, and that's why you told me
you were just casually seeing him.
At least you're wise. I'm relieved.
I hate people who are stubborn.
Mother, Hyeondo and I are...
Okay.
If you break up with him,
I'll make it worth your while.
It'll be of great help to your family.
Your house is a rental, right?
Even if you stick with Hyeondo,
he doesn't have any money.
You do know that, don't you?
I expect you to break up with him soon.
I'm sorry, mother.
I never expected anything from Hyeondo.
And so I won't
break up with him to gain anything.
I'm sorry.
I thought you were reasonable.
Hi, Seonhui.
I just met Eunsu.
But she's still delusional.
Why don't you reason with her?
I'm glad
both you and I are against them dating.
Why do I have to be the bad person?
I can't believe the two jerks in my family!
Hey!
There's another reason behind it, isn't there?
The reason why you're so against it.
I can't get over the feeling
that there's something I don't know about.
Why did you come all the way here?
No matter how hard I try,
I just can't understand you or Jiwan.
There's another reason, isn't there, mother?
Please tell me.
Whatever that is,
if it's something understandable,
I'll give up Eunsu.
I just don't like you, Hyeondo.
What other better reason do I need?
I don't like you, and I don't like your family.
You really don't know your mom?
You know her better than I do,
and what kind of person your mom is.
Do you really think she could accept Eunsu?
Even if she does eventually,
Eunsu would've already suffered too much.
Hyeondo,
I can't put Eunsu through that ordeal.
I'll protect her.
I'll make sure she doesn't get hurt.
How would you do that?
You're going to disown your mother?
Could you do that?
For Eunsu's sake, break up with her.
I'm begging you, Hyeondo.
I'm sorry, mother.
We can't break up.
If you won't break up with her,
I'm going to disown Eunsu.
Mother, I'll be better. I'll try harder.
Can't you give me a chance?
I'll make sure nothing bad happens.
Is that not enough?
Eunsu met Sugyeong today.
What do you think Sugyeong said to her?
How do you think she treated her?
If you could prevent it, you would have.
It'll happen to her again and again.
Do you think you can protect her every time?
You can't do anything, Hyeondo.
There is no other reason.
I don't like you because of that.
Mom.
You look like you're about to go to war.
You already heard?
She sure is quick.
And I thought she was mild-tempered.
Actually, this makes it more interesting.
Mom, this is wrong.
You know I can change my mind any minute,
but when you do this, I get more serious!
I wonder why you didn't see that.
Eunsu and I are going to get more serious.
You think I'm going to let you get serious?
We just talked today,
but next time, it won't be just with words.
You just talked?
I'm sure you were more vicious with words.
I thought you had turned into a moron,
but you seem perfectly fine.
Mom!
You're the one who made me the villain!
You should've found someone at your level!
Mom.
If you don't like this, end it!
You want me to go crazy?
How dare you threaten me?
Do it to me.
Whatever it is, do it to me.
I'm begging you, Ms. Jeong Sugyeong.
Please!
Just do it to me, mom!
Are you really in love with her?
You're crazy!
How could you fall for someone like that?
Pick up the phone, Eunsu!
8 missed calls, Hyeondo
Han Eunsu.
How long have you been waiting?
I thought you left.
Is something wrong?
You met my mom?
Don't think about anything else.
Don't get any ideas in your head.
You came because you thought
I might start thinking too much?
No.
I came to see you.
It's nice to see you.
Let's try to see each other, okay?
Don't look so sad.
Try smiling.
I'm sorry.
I know this is all because of my mom.
I had no idea my mom would be like this.
I had no idea
my mom would hurt you so badly.
That's not true.
It's like she's a different person.
As if she's not my mom.
Mom.
Mother, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mother.
I called her out.
It's not her fault...
Mom...
You think I'm a joke?
I told you I don't like him.
I told you I hate him.
I begged you.
Fine.
Get out.
I want you out of my house.
I hate you, too, Eunsu.
I hate you for not listening to me.
Might as well just get out of my sight.
Mom.
I'll give up, mother.
I won't see her again.
We'll break up.
So please stop doing this to Eunsu.
Please stop doing this to her.
You kicked Eunsu out?
What did you do to drive her away?
If this gets out, who will it hurt?
When they don't get their money back,
I heard they sell your organs.
I can hand you over to them
with a flick of a finger.
Seeing how they even have records of
borrowed-name accounts,
they are well over 20 years old.
These are all from 20 years ago?
Why does he keep showing up?
It's annoying.
Will he cause a problem for you?
This is father's passport?
Give me your answer.
Is Eunsu your daughter?
Why are you hiding it?
