Is this Eunsol Kang's sister?
Yes. Who is calling?
This is Eunsol's superior.
I need to meet you and talk about something.
Her superior? What's this regarding?
I can't say on the phone.
Let's meet today.
I'm sorry but if you give me your name...
You know where my hospital is, right?
There's a cafe over at the building.
I'll wait until you come.
Hello? Hello?
Who was it?
Don't know.
She didn't give me her name but just wanted to see me.
Then you don't have to meet her.
But she's my sister's superior so I'm concerned.
Esol, mind your manners from now on.
You got on the air so people might recognize you.
Watch your behavior to avoid gossips.
Okay.
Every day of your life makes your entire life.
Look at me.
My past more than 20 years ago still follows me.
I've made a lot of effort to make it to this point,
...but everything will crumble to dust if it's revealed.
So don't do anything you might regret.
I'll keep that in mind.
Good. Somehow, I wish you well.
It's because you remind me of myself at your age...
...or perhaps...
...because you're like my child I lost.
Never mind.
I don't know why I'm getting sentimental these days.
Maybe I've become too comfortable.
To bring up the child I buried in my heart.
Forget the last part of my words.
Thank you for watching Healing Recipe.
We'll see you next week with a lot more interesting stories.
Don't miss it next week!
Wow, it was so fun.
Man, you're photogenic. Superb!
Your talking about TNC all throughout the show...
...will create a great PR effect, I think. Great job.
Thanks to Lena.
Above all, she looks lovely in that dress.
She has an exceptional sense of style.
I'm going to ask her to lend me that dress.
Mom, it's not her dress. And you're too fat to...
Hey, shut up!
Minjoon, we need to talk.
What's with you?
You looked uneasy while watching TV.
Is it intentional or are you simply indifferent?
What do you mean?
I'm talking about Esol Kang.
How could you let her even go on the air...
...as if her working with Lena wasn't enough?
If Jaejoon had seen it, how would he feel?
Mother.
I'll make it short.
Tell Lena to dismiss her as of today.
I can't.
She was unfairly dismissed from TNC because of Jaejoon.
And she's been working with Lena since before we got married.
I can't get in her way only for Jaejoon's sake.
How can you say like that?
Who made him faint?
She ruined his engagement and made him hospitalized.
When I managed to have him get over her,
...now you shake him again?
Are you going to remain a spectator?
Trust Jaejoon.
He is not who he used to be.
He's trying hard to stand on his own feet.
If we get in her way and he finds out, it won't help.
Rather, if he finds she's doing okay,
...he'll feel liberated to move on.
That means you can never dismiss her?
Why? Is that Lena's idea?
Lena pretends to trust me but she still guards against me.
That's why I doubt her intention of hiring Esol.
If you can't help me, I should take care of it myself.
Because I must protect Jaejoon.
Ha, it's been a long time. Hit the jackpot.
Soohyon, can we talk?
What brings you here at this hour? Have a seat.
I came to ask you a favor.
I'll get straight to the point.
Is this regarding Lena?
No. It's about Esol Kang.
She got a problem with my family. Force her out.
You think it makes sense?
We're thinking about putting her on the show as a regular.
Go on the Internet. She's gotten popular.
I can't pull her out.
And your request is out of personal feelings.
If you lay her off, TNC will sponsor the show generously.
Please?
Heera, how come you've changed like this?
I thought you were very rational and sensible,
...but you're unreasonable when it comes to Lena.
NBC is not my private company. I can't boss it.
So you mean you can't?
Sorry.
I came here this late since I thought you were on my side.
But fine. I'll never ask you a favor again.
Ms. Bae, how could you do this to me?
How could you put Lena in my seat? Am I nothing to you?
You should've canceled the recording without me,
...but how could you put the sub in the main position?
It was you, not me, who yielded that position.
Is our job a joke?
You didn't show up just because you didn't like the guest.
Did you forget who picked that guest?
I won't let it pass.
You choose. Will you go with Lena or with me?
Heeyon.
If you can't choose, I'll help you.
Unless you fire her, Healing Recipe will be no more.
I'll ask my in-laws to withdraw all the ads and sponsorship.
Is that clear?
Heeyon. Heeyon Jeong!
How come there's no peaceful day?
Is she on a bad term with Lena?
Isn't it obvious? They are mortal enemies.
Really?
No date today?
Celebrate your broadcasting debut with your boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
He's too busy today.
Is he?
Return the dress and call it a day.
Ms. Jeong.
How was I today? Speak frankly, please.
Frankly?
Then you should be ready for harsh remarks.
I'm ready. Your opinion is most important to me.
Don't worry.
You were like a white sheet of paper,
...clean and pure.
I'm looking forward to what you're going to draw on it.
Ms. Jeong.
The task falls to your share.
I'll help you by your side. Keep growing, okay?
Thank you. I'll do my best.
Good. Get going.
Hi.
What are you doing?
Get your hands off me when you're no better than me.
How dare you act like a vulgar woman!
Vulgar? Talk about yourself, you thief.
Thief? I'm the savior of the show you didn't show up.
Instead of saying thank you, you're accusing me?
Listen carefully.
I didn't like you from the beginning.
You used all sorts of dirty tricks to take my seat...
...now you even steal my spot?
You think I'd let it pass?
What can you do then?
I gave a notice to Ms. Bae...
...that I'll ask my father-in-law to withdraw all the ads.
Do you think NBC will keep you on then?
Today is the first and the last day of your solo host.
Buzz off from this field forever.
How pathetic you are.
You can't do anything for yourself.
Taking advantage of your in-laws from beginning to end, eh?
I can stir up your powerful in-laws!
What?
You remember this picture, don't you?
Aren't you receiving infertility treatment for 6 years?
What if your in-laws find out about this boy?
Carrying on a family line is important to such a family.
And this boy looks very healthy.
You are really!
Choose whether to continue to work with me or to pull out.
You think I'll leave you alone?
You'll see. I will certainly drag you down.
Mark my word.
Don't be scared. I told you..
People with no strings to pull like us have to be pioneers.
This is Heera.
Lena hosted the show on her own today.
Any comments on the web?
I've kept searching but there hasn't been any comments yet.
Really? That's not good.
We need to get something on her quickly.
Let's take the measure I suggested.
Putting her old photo in the paper.
If we're going to do that, we should do it right.
I'll think about a more effective way to do that. Hang up.
They are mortal enemies.
Ms. Heeyon Jeong?
Can we talk for a minute?
I think we might be of like mind.
Who are you?
Let's say I want her fall?
Yes, Lena. I watched your show.
Guess you didn't see me to watch someone else?
Sorry.
Esol is on her way over there.
Have fun and give her a big congratulation.
Thank you.
Oh, please keep it a secret from my mom.
Don't worry. I really wish you two the best.
Mother, now you see?
You have no one on your side.
Who are you to say that to me?
Who I am is not important.
What matters is that we have the same objective.
You said you want Lena to fall.
Why?
Same as you.
She came up the ranks at all cost and dare to covet mine.
I have to beat her off to protect mine.
You're not telling me who you are.
I'm sorry but I don't have time to talk with a stranger.
That's why you are no match for Lena.
You should put bait to catch fish.
Even if you have to borrow bait from other people.
If you don't like it, just sit by and watch...
...your Healing Recipe change its title...
...as Lena Jeong's Healing Recipe.
Wait.
Then do you really have the bait to catch Lena?
Of course.
Hi.
I came to return Ms. Lena Jeong's dress.
Thank you. Her dress for next week is ready.
Already?
She wants you to try it on and check. And shoes too.
She wants me to try it on?
Yes. You know where the fitting rooms are, right?
Your acting is superb!
I was nervous that she might catch on.
It's strange. The dress perfectly fits me.
Of course, since it's yours.
I'm sorry? What do you mean?
Someone bought it for you.
Who?
Whose present is this?
Who else other than me?
Jaejoon!
A lot prettier in person. Very tall too.
Congrats on your debut.
Don't you abandon me because you're a star.
She's not that kind of a girl.
She's nice, strong and very upright.
Yura.
You've met her?
Don't even think about meeting her.
I'm saying this for your sake.
You said you won't divorce Dad.
Who is she that Yura tries to protect?
Is it because they are related by blood?
No way.
Why isn't she coming?
How did you come here?
You said you had an important meeting.
This is the important meeting.
Actually, I consulted Lena about...
...what would be a good present for you.
Since you were on TV, mind your looks more.
Wait. Then did you tell her about us?
She knew it already.
But don't worry. She's on our side.
What if your mother finds out about us?
I'm going to tell her soon.
Don't worry about anything and let's just enjoy the date.
I'll throw a nice party for you.
Come on.
Where are you? I've been waiting 30 minutes.
If you don't show up, your sister will be disadvantaged.
What's the matter?
Excuse me.
Eunsol, your superior wants to meet me at the cafe...
...in front of your hospital. Something happened?
Get back to me when you get this message.
My superior?
Esol, pick up the phone.
Mom, we got a problem. I think Esol is meeting my boss.
What? What are you talking about?
My superior called her out and I can't get hold of her.
What? Esol?
My. I begged them not to tell her anything but...
Go in.
I'm sorry I can't go on a date with you.
I'm not a small-minded man.
I have plenty of days to be with you...
...so I'll let you go to Eunsol today.
You must be tired. Go home quickly.
No. Somehow I'm worried about you.
I'll wait here. Come back after you meet her.
Jaejoon.
You'll be the nation's heartthrob soon.
You need a bodyguard like me.
Be back.
I feel so safe. Thank you.
She dared to stand me up?
What brings you here?
I came to meet someone.
What a small world...
...that I see a hateful face here.
Wait. Eunsol Kang, Esol Kang.
No way!
Hello?
Where is your boss? In the office?
Calm down, Mom.
How can I calm down? Where's Esol?
Is she locked up in there?
No, they're not here. I think they're meeting outside.
Outside? Where? Tell me where they are.
What's your business with me?
You said it's about Eunsol. Did she make any mistake?
Give me your date of birth.
Excuse me? Why do you ask that?
Just answer my question!
When is it? When were you born?
Were you born in 1992?
Yes.
Evil destiny stems from a wrong relationship.
How could she mess with me like this?
What is the matter?
You really don't know? You have no idea?
Sorry?
Is it about Jaejoon?
Didn't your mom tell you anything?
Then is this regarding...
...the mistake Dr. Seo made to my mom 22 years ago?
Mistake? Did she say like that?
Your birth is the mistake.
I'll make it short.
I need a strand of your hair.
Wait. What are you talking about?
I heard what happened 22 years ago has to do with me.
Is that right?
It was 1992 then, the year of my birth. What is it?
Does it have to do with my birth?
It's too filthy to even mention!
Dr. Choi.
If you're curious, ask your mom!
What's wrong with you?
You'll find out soon enough anyway, but let me say this.
You shouldn't have been born...
...for Yura and for me! Do you understand?
Wait, look! Wait!
Dr. Choi, did you meet my daughter?
Watch your manners!
What the heck did you tell her?
Did you tell her everything despite my earnest request?
Look.
What the heck did you tell that poor girl?
Are you even a human being?
Why do you have to distress that innocent girl?
Innocent?
Her birth itself is a sin.
What? You evil...!
I didn't tell anything to your daughter. You know why?
Because I too hope she has nothing to do with us.
All I did was...
...getting a few strands of her hair.
So let's talk later when I get the DNA test result.
You can't go! I told you...
...she has nothing to do with you. So give it to me.
Give me!
Get off of me!
Mom!
What's going on?
Mom, are you okay? Wait!
She must not know I'm seeing Esol again.
What's wrong with you?
Why even to my mom?
You took the word out of my mouth.
Why do you mess with my life?
Again, let's talk when I get the result.
Wait. Wait!
What should I do? I can't go help them.
Wait! Wait!
She can't do this. If she's a human being, she can't.
She can't do this to us.
Mom, stop. Please.
Good evening!
Aren't I late?
Everybody is waiting for you.
Congrats!
You're like a child.
What if the firecracker hurt her face?
I just wanted to congratulate her. Congrats!
Yes, right.
It is true that a woman's life depends on whom she marries.
Last time you looked poor on TV,
...but this time, you look noble from head to toe.
Besides, Minjoon sitting next to you...
...sure made you look like a noble lady.
Exactly!
That's enough.
Thank you. It was good PR of TNC.
Not at all. What could I do for Minjoon?
I should help him get reinstated quickly.
Yes, thank you.
That's conjugal affection.
By the way, where is Heera?
She had a headache and went out for air.
Alone at night? It's dangerous.
Is Minjoon upstairs?
Come to think of it, he isn't seen anywhere.
Did he go to work out?
Where did he go?
I expected his congratulations the most.
What's this sound?
Aren't you tired?
What are all these?
Room service for my queen.
Isn't it too early to pop the champagne?
The show hasn't become mine yet.
This is not for you.
Then for whom?
Me.
You?
I'm the luckiest husband in the world.
It's hot on the Internet...
...that I'm the luckiest to have a wife of intelligent beauty.
For the happiest guy in the world.
So if I show this photo on the air,
...things will go as I wish?
Of course.
If we find someone who knows her past,
...it's a matter of time before she goes down.
What was her past like?
I can't tell you now but it'll deal a fatal blow to her...
...making her unable to resurge.
I knew it.
From the way she behaves, I can imagine how she must've lived.
What wouldn't she have done to get ahead?
So the picture should be open...
...to the public in the most effective way.
I see your point.
Lena is audacious as if she were something,
...but if this is open to the public, she'll learn a lesson...
...that however hard she tries,
...she's bound to go downward in life.
I'm grateful for this extravagance.
I always dreamed of...
...living in luxury like this, not being ignored.
Frankly, I didn't expect anything from people.
Maybe because I was exploited,
...I didn't need anybody to love me...
...nor did I believe I could be loved.
You said on our honeymoon...
...that you felt like having walked a long way in barefoot...
...and wanted to rest.
You don't have to struggle anymore. Take it easy.
I'll be by your side forever.
Let me ask one question.
Are you happy now?
Curious?
Happy?
There's a change since I met you.
I used to hate to wake up in the morning,
...but now I want to in order to see you.
How about you?
I'm happy too.
You taught me the value of relationship.
I really can't believe I have such a wonderful husband.
So we are meant for each other.
Let's toast to the happiest couple in the world.
Cheers.
It's good.
Youngu!
It'll take time to be done. Stay focused!
Okay. Go ahead.
Now, Korean.
Say an if subjunctive sentence.
For example,
"If I were a bird, I would fly."
- Dad. - Yes.
How about "If cup noodles were done, I would eat"?
You are really.
Are you a genius or a fool?
You make me so confused.
Father, it seems something happened to Esol's family.
Really?
This is the worst.
The worst-fated relationship.
What's this?
Mom, did you meet Esol?
Don't say a word, if you're going to speak for her.
You're really too much.
Why do you stir up trouble?
What good is it to let her know?
What do you gain if you hurt her?
Can't you be quiet?
You think this is a simple matter?
No. The real beginning is now.
Honey, here you are.
Just pray she isn't your daughter.
Mom, what are you going to do with a paternity test?
You still can't believe Dad is her father?
Or are you going to show her the result and throw money away?
I told you she isn't after money.
Why do you make things worse?
I beg you. Please stop.
You and Dad have disappointed me enough,
...so please stop here.
Stop? What have I done?
Oh, come on. I am a victim!
Can't you see that unwelcomed child might break our family?
Did you already forget?
That she almost broke off your engagement?
And that's not all.
She messed up our Qingdao Hospital project too!
Keep in mind. Ill-fated relationship won't end easily.
You must nib the bud before things get worse.
I'll take care of it, so say no more.
Mom.
Mom! Mom!
This is nuts.
Move away from us. Please, Esol.
She's ridiculous. Can't believe how rough she is.
And what the heck was she babbling about?
Why does she need Esol's hair for a test?
She makes me just dumbfounded.
Why did you take it lying down?
If she talked nonsense, you could've retorted at her.
People play you for a fool if you're just being nice.
Aren't I right, Mom?
I'm going to quit my job right away.
Then it'll be all over, right?
Go to sleep. It's late.
Mom.
Why? Go to sleep.
I'm not one of those cases, right?
Dr. Choi asked if I was born in 1992.
It was the year you and Dr. Seo had some trouble.
Esol.
She also said....
...that I shouldn't have been born,
...that my birth itself was a mistake,
...and it was too filthy to mention.
I'm not in that case, right?
I am your daughter, right?
You gave me birth, didn't you?
Didn't you? Right, Mom? Right?
Esol...Esol.
Mom.
Tell me that you gave me a birth.
Tell me I am your daughter...
...and you are my mom.
Yes.
Yes, sweetie. It's true you are my child.
You are my child, my daughter.
I've raised you since you were a newborn baby.
Of course I am your mom.
They don't deserve to be your parents.
Don't even mind or deal with such scumbag.
Don't listen to their nonsense.
Just ignore it.
Don't cry. Don't cry, baby.
Nothing will change.
Don't cry, baby. Don't cry. Don't cry.
I am you mom.
I am your mom. Who else can be?
Don't cry. Don't cry, Esol. It's okay.
My baby.
It's okay, don't cry. It's okay.
What am I hearing now?
So Esol was a foundling?
Then Dr. Seo is her real father for sure.
That was why they came to meet Yangsoon so often...
...to put a gag on her.
Then who is Esol's real mother?
Real mother?
What's this picture?
Dongyang Hospital, Inchol and Eunhye?
Who are these people?
Why are you looking at my picture?
Right.
Yangsoon has an old picture of a young couple.
Perhaps they were Esol's parents.
Really? Is there their picture?
Pretend you don't know. This isn't time to bring it up.
Don't you dare, you filthy man!
Honey.
Sleep on the sofa!
Okay.
What was she like?
I can guess from the looks of Esol.
Wasn't that woman quite pretty? And tall as well?
What did she do for a living?
How did you meet her? I mean, how long?
I told you. She's not even worth your attention.
Think I was taken in by a gold digger and forget about it.
And she won't bring us any damage...
...since she's well-off now.
Well-off now? What do you mean?
Do you still keep in touch with her?
No! You think I'm crazy?
I'm saying she must be well-off since she's quiet.
Good night.
Nuts.
What a bolt from the blue.
Like a mutt came into my garden and messed it up.
Dr. Seo and my mom knew each other since 22 years ago.
I heard Dr. Seo had done a grave wrong to my mom.
Maybe that could be it?
What could be their problem?
You think I'll leave you alone?
You'll see. I will certainly drag you down.
Such an incompetent big talker.
What are you studying so hard?
I'm so nervous ahead of a recording.
Whatever a guest says, I have to lead a talk.
I should make a thorough preparation.
Isn't that the key of your success?
People think you became a Cinderella overnight...
...but you work really hard.
What do I have?
Unless I work harder than others, I'm uncompetitive.
Well, do you have time to see me?
I'm sorry.
You have a meeting today, right?
I'll coordinate your style so you can look better than others.
It's okay.
I sparkle without any grooming.
How come?
Because I'm the husband of a star emcee.
You're becoming a glib talker. Where did you pick that?
Why, you don't like it?
I do. I think I got addicted to it.
I get disappointed if you don't flatter me every day.
Then I can make your day today.
No, don't.
Do a good job today.
Don't get lost in a daydream of me.
Okay.
Whether I take over the show or not will be decided today.
I'll do my best.
Good morning!
Hi.
Why do you want to see me from the morning? I'm busy.
I have something important to tell you.
You're strange.
Guess you have bad news to come to my room..
What is it?
Don't get me wrong.
You know, viewer ratings are most important in this field.
Lena's solo show last week hit the jackpot.
Ratings went up by 5% and we got more ads.
And?
Give the devil her due.
You are on the downward in this market...
...while Lena and Esol are fresh faces.
So what are you trying to say?
The management wants you to drop out on your own.
I too think that would be the best for you.
But if your in-laws want to withdraw ads,
...I can persuade the management to go with double emcee.
So you're going to cast me aside like dirt, eh?
Double emcee?
In name only. You're telling me to serve as a foil!
Heeyon.
Alright.
But a lion doesn't eat rotten meat however hungry he is.
Actually, I'm prepared for my farewell episode today.
Don't worry. I'll drop out nicely.
There's a condition though.
Condition?
I want a lot of reporters on my farewell episode.
Are you up to something to screw over Lena?
I'll be damned if I am.
She's going to succeed my show.
As her predecessor, I want to make the end well.
You may look forward to it. I'll do as you asked me.
Yes!
This is Heera.
Yes, ma'am.
Lena's old picture will go on the internet by reporters.
There must be someone who can recognize her.
Check online comments thoroughly.
Don't miss anything.
Yes, ma'am.
Heera, Lena is going to work.
I'm going out. I'll be home a bit late.
Okay. I'm worried you might be tired.
Not at all. It's my job.
But somehow, I think it's going to be tough for you.
Take care and do a good job.
Thank you for caring about me.
But what could be tough for me?
All that remains is to keep on rolling.
Bye.
That's right.
Good to see that you care about each other.
She looks cold but is very warm-hearted inside.
Remember the dress she wore last time? I said I like it,
...and she promised to get me one in a big size.
Lena, drive safely!
Keep on rolling?
Yeah, rise as high as you want.
The higher you rise, the more painful it will be to fall.
Esol.
What happened to you? Why didn't you answer my calls?
I saw your mother argue with Dr. Choi the other day.
What's the matter?
Tell me what the matter is.
Sorry but don't ask anything for the time being.
I'm so confused now.
I'll call you when I sort out myself.
You can't go like this.
Alright.
I will wait. Do a good job..
You know I love you, right?
The first part of the show will go with Heeyon's story.
Guess it's going to be her farewell episode.
Esol.
Esol!
Huh? I'm sorry.
You're really strange today.
Can you do the recording today?
Do you have any trouble at home?
Even if you do, cut it out once we start shooting.
If you're going to get lost like this, just quit the job.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Jeong, please stand by.
I thought you'd become something. Don't disappoint me.
Don't you know how important it is today?
It'll be decided today whether I take over the show or not.
Keep your mind clear and do it right!
Robbed again...
...when I'm already penniless.
Is there any way I can get rich quickly?
Hi! Welcome to Heeyon Jeong's Healing Recipe.
Hello, I am Lena.
I'm Esol. Glad to meet you.
Well, today I have to tell you some sad news first.
It's going to be the farewell episode of Heeyon,
...the main host of Healing Recipe.
Heeyon, how do you feel?
I'm so sad and sorry to leave here.
I've led the show for 3 years, and I think I'll miss you a lot.
Healing Recipe will continue though,
...so please give Lena lots of your love.
Thank you.
So I prepared something for today.
I'm going to introduce the details of Lena, your new host.
The more you know, the closer you get, right?
I'm nervous how you'll introduce me.
Are you?
You'll be surprised too.
I obtained something special.
Something special?
Don't say it's my picture before a makeover.
No way. Everybody knows you didn't get your face done.
You didn't know?
No.
Really? Then I'll prove Lena is a natural beauty.
I wonder how you are going to prove it.
Throw it on the screen, please.
She's pretty!
It's her picture when she was in her 20's.
How do you feel to see your old picture?
Surprised, huh?
People call you a beauty from another planet...
...because your past is veiled.
Now that your old picture is open,
...why don't you tell us about your past?
You moved to America in your early 20's.
Then you must've lived in Korea until then.
Right?
Can you tell us about your 20's?
Mister. Mister!
What?
Time is up. Will you extend it?
Okay. Bug off.
Wait.
It's Eunhye Jeong.
Yeah, it's her.
My guess was right.

Call the media and ask to pull all the articles about me.
To reveal your dirty past you're hiding behind your smile.
I was her love.
You've achieved your dream. Live in contentment.
Only good things will happen.
Do we look alike? We are sisters.
We should give her our assets just because she's his child?
You're treating me like a con using my own child.
You are really too much. Am I wrong, Father?
