(Episode 69)
Grandpa!
Goodness me!
My baby. My cute puppy.
I heard about everything from Gangu.
I'll keep Maeum close to me,
so don't worry about a thing.
Thank you.
You should go to the office and get to work.
Yes, sir.
Fool.
You and I need to talk.
Straighten your tie.
Got it?
You cannot let anyone in without the Chairman's...
I mean, Ko Bongnam's permission
into this house. Got it?
What's going on, mom?
Goodness.
Oh, my God. Why do we have bodyguards?
What's going on?
The Chairman said to keep Madam Seorin out
at all costs.
She's no madam.
She's just a greedy fox. Move!
Goodness.
I'm not weak. She's just very strong.
The women of this family
are really tough, so stay alert.
You must use all your strength.
Fool.
How good would it have been
if you became my daughter-in-law 5 years ago.
At least fate brought us together now.
I guess we should be comforted.
I'll take care of Gangu's divorce quickly,
so don't worry...
And get yourself ready.
No, no.
Now that Maeum is home,
you should move in too.
Why waste time?
We're family anyway.
If you stay by Gangu's side...
I think I can leave this world in peace.
I'm worried about Maeum.
We should tell him.
He's young. He'll be shocked.
Please let me take time
to make sure he won't be confused and hurt.
Okay. Sure.
But don't focus only on Maeum.
You need to take care of the company too.
Make sure Gangu is doing a good job too.
Yes. I will.
(Chae Seorin)
What if Secretary Chae gets angry at us
for cleaning out her office?
What power do we have?
We just did as we were told.
Rumors say she got kicked out of her house.
Why did she come to the office?
Miss Park Soyeong.
Yes, Director Yu?
It's hard because Jiyu is out often, isn't it?
Not at all, Director Yu.
I heard she's caring for a child at
the Chairman's home.
Please keep helping her.
Yes, I will.
Did you order for my office to be cleaned out.
Isn't it obvious?
Please call security to drag her out.
Yes, Director Yu.
You...
As of today, you're fired.
Says who?
If you don't want to be arrested for murder, go quietly.
You know I have your recorded confession.
If you try anything again...
You'll be back at the police station.
This time, nobody...
Will get you out.
We gave you a chance.
You're the one who wasted it and
tried to hurt Maeum.
Fine. Try me.
I won't sit still.
If you do this, I have my own plans.
You'd better prepare yourselves.
Reporter Oh, it's me, Chae Seorin.
I have something to report.
Can we meet?
I'll give you an exclusive.
The company is noisy because
of the Secretary Chae Seorin matter.
What is it all about?
It's a family matter.
I'll explain over time.
It may become a company matter.
Director Yu Gangu
wasn't able to take proper care of his family.
I'll stop there for today.
I organized this meeting
to introduce someone to you.
Introduce someone?
It's nice to meet you. I'm Min Seonho.
Mosung Group's Chief Director Yu Gangu
is having an affair with the chairman's caregiver.
I have detailed information on the caregiver as well.
It's quite a dirty scandal.
Here.
I wrote down everything that has happened to date.
You could just publish it as is.
It's a good read.
Also, if you need additional interviews,
I'm available at any time.
They all seem to be impressed by you.
The directors I met today...
Are they important people?
They're the most respected men by shareholders
after the Chairman.
That's why their decision becomes
the shareholders' decision.
I need to know who Byeon Ilgu meets
and what he talks about with them.
In order to stop this man...
I need to move with him.
We've got the things that dad likes.
Now let's get your favorite carrots.
Maeum, you can scoop them.
A lot. A lot.
Let's have some salad too.
- It's good for you. / - I want this and this.
Do you want that and that?
There you go.
I eat carrots well now.
You do? You are so cool.
Here.
There you go.
Eat up.
Now I get it when parents say,
"They're full without even eating."
I want to understand what that means too,
so eat up.
How can you be full without eating?
Juri.
Oh, my. Look who's here.
At first, you came as two, then alone...
And now you're three.
For Maeum....
Strawberry juice.
Juri, can you give him something else?
He's allergic to strawberries just like me.
Really? Does he take that after you too?
Maeum, what juice do you like?
What do you have?
Do you want to come with me
and ask that handsome uncle?
Let's go.
What would you like, kiddo? Just say the word.
Something yummy.
I'll have to show off my skills for our kiddo.
Jichan, make me one too.
You stay out of it.
When I think about it,
he takes a lot after me.
Do you like grapes?
Peaches? Then what?
He's allergic to strawberries...
And has the same mole on his ankle.
I feel like the heavens gave me hints and
God left clues for me.
But still I didn't recognize him.
I feel like such a terrible mom.
It was inconceivable...
To both you and me.
It's still early. Stop drinking.
What do you think you're doing?
How dare you order me around?
Are you looking down on me too?
I'm Chae Seorin. Chae Seorin!
Where's Maeum?
Did you find out?
He didn't go to kindergarten.
I kept watch over the Chairman's house,
but I didn't see him.
I miss Maeum so much.
I miss him so much that I think I'll go crazy.
Do you think he's at Kang Jiyu's house?
I can't stand it.
I need to see Maeum.
There's no use.
You should eat.
Here.
How was work today?
You have no idea.
There was a cold front at the office again.
Chae Seorin got kicked out.
Goodness.
That's what she gets for being so greedy.
She got what she deserved.
She got kicked out from the house
and from the company too.
She tried to go from rags to riches
but ended up ruining her life.
Everyone wants to live with riches
but happiness comes from living modestly.
Still, I wish I could get rich just once.
Make loads of money
and live it up.
How cool would that be?
Mrs. Han, how did you make so much money?
Money runs away from you if you chase it.
If you work diligently, the money follows you.
Don't be like that.
Tell us your secret.
Do you want to know which smell
money likes the best?
What is it?
Which smell?
The smell of sweat.
It likes the smell of sweat the best.
I should sweat a little more.
A little more wouldn't be enough.
Even if you create a flood with sweat,
it might not be enough.
What?
Look. I'm sweating.
I'm sweating a lot.
Who could that be?
Who is it at this hour?
Where's Maeum?
Where is Maeum?
Hong Sunbok!
Stop coming here. Maeum isn't here!
Stop lying.
Come here.
- Let go! / - Why that...
Leave them.
Bokja is in her right mind.
This is a good time for them to talk.
Where's Maeum?
Give him to me!
Have you still not come to your senses?
Jiyu's finally got her child back.
I won't allow you to steal him again.
I can't do that anymore.
Mom.
Do you recognize me now?
Do you think I wouldn't recognize my own daughter?
Then please help me.
I was kicked out of my house.
What?
Jiyu told them everything.
The fact that I'm Hong Sunbok and about Maeum too.
What?
Then what will you do now?
Mom.
That's why I need Maeum.
That's the only way I can go back.
Mom, where is he?
Bring him to me.
I can't live without him.
That's good.
Stop it now.
Don't sin anymore.
Why are you trying to sin again?
I'm not going to let you off anymore
just because you're my child.
Mom!
That's right!
I'm your mom, you brat.
So please...
Come to your senses and look at me.
Imagine how bad it was
that I kept losing my mind?
Because of you,
I can't look up to the heavens anymore.
Please...
Please think about your mother. Just once.
Why should I?
What... What?
Why should I think about you?
You only ever cared about Jiyu.
You never thought about how I would feel.
It was always Jiyu! Jiyu! Jiyu!
And now, you want me to think about you?
Should I think about you, lose everything
and return to being Hong Sunbok?
Why you...
Are you being serious now?
Yes.
It's because of Jiyu again, isn't it?
Because of Kang Jiyu...
You're making me go back
to being that sickening Hong Sunbok!
You care only about Jiyu!
Why must I think about you? Why!
And why do you think I cared about Jiyu?
That was the way to live a good life in that house.
That way I could provide for your education,
feed you good food and live a good life.
Why...
Why did I take Jiyu's baby and give him to you?
It hurt me so much inside...
I begged and begged so that
I didn't have to say anything.
I was afraid you'd die.
Because I had to save you!
All of this... It's all my fault.
I'm paying for my wrongs.
Every time you forced your way,
I should've taught you better.
Fine.
I won't allow you to do this anymore.
Even if I die, I'll have to stop you now.
I'll have to stop you from sinning anymore,
you wicked girl!
Don't you ever think about your mother's situation?
Have you ever thought about
taking her to the hospital?
How could you be so selfish?
You're all so full of yourselves.
Mind your own business.
Maeum isn't here,
so don't ever come back and cause a scene!
Get out of here already.
Goodness.
How did my daughter...
I don't know how she turned out like that?
Maeum.
Let's go in.
He must be tired.
He must be.
Goodness.
Give me Maeum!
Give him to me.
What do you think you're doing?
Let go.
Let go of him!
Take him inside before he wakes up, Gangu.
It's okay.
So you did all this to kick me out and take my place?
I'm not interested in your place.
I'm just trying to protect Maeum.
Then you shouldn't do this to me.
Who raised Maeum until now?
Shouldn't you be thanking me?
I saved his life and I raised him until now.
Let me ask you one thing.
Why do you...
Want to take Maeum?
Don't you know?
I'll die without Maeum.
Without Maeum, I'm not Chae Seorin.
Do you understand?
So in the end...
It's all for yourself.
It's so that you can be Chae Seorin.
That's why you need Maeum.
What?
Even now, you only see Maeum
as a means to satisfy your greed.
That's why I can't let you near him.
You...
Saved Maeum and raised him.
Fine. I'll accept that.
But...
I can't thank you.
Kang Jiyu.
Kang Jiyu...
Kang Jiyu!
Maeum!
Excuse me.
Excuse me! Excuse me.
Are you free? Just 5 minutes.
Okay?
Look at her.
Stop for a minute.
What the?
Secretary.
I've arranged a place for you to stay.
You should go there.
Why don't you leave too?
Everyone hates me and leaves me.
Everyone has abandoned me.
You should leave too.
You think...
I'm pathetic too, don't you?
But just watch.
I won't lose.
I refuse to lose.
I will do...
Everything I can.
Mom.
Are you still awake, Maeum?
Where's mom?
You see, mom...
She went on a business trip.
Can you be a good boy while she's away?
Sleep now.
Maeum.
I'm so sorry for making you
go through this terrible thing at such a young age.
How should I tell you?
How?
Please stay strong, Maeum.
Bring that thing home tomorrow.
Chae Seorin?
Why do you want to see her again?
I want to confirm something.
You can just ask me.
No matter how much I think about it,
it doesn't make sense.
She ran away from home in high school
and lived as Chae Seorin.
But even when she prepared for the wedding...
It was all too perfect.
Do you think it was possible for her to do it alone?
I need to ask her what happened.
You can't believe anything she says.
Everything she says will be a lie.
I'm looking into it.
I'll let you know when I have solid evidence.
Do you suspect Secretary Byeon too?
I was right after all.
I may be on my death bed,
but Yu Manho isn't dead yet.
Ever since I found out that he and that thing
were stealing my slush funds...
I thought it was suspicious.
What will you do now?
Leave him for now.
What?
We need to find out what he's up to.
If he's after the company,
we need to know how far he has reached.
Director Min is helping me on that matter.
He is?
We'll get solid evidence.
Secretary Byeon is different to that thing.
Kicking him out won't end things.
We need to end things without a doubt.
Okay?
Reporter.
When will you publish the story that I gave you?
It'll be released soon.
I brought additional material.
Please let me know when the article is released.
I'll leave it to you.
What did she say?
She gave me additional material.
She seems to be asking around here and there
since the article isn't being published.
Is it really an affair?
It's not like that at all.
I'll give you a real story so just give it some time.
How could she do this after what she's already done?
Where are you going?
Let's eat.
Chairman.
You should sit down.
Sit.
Go on.
Seeing you two side by side like this...
It's great to see.
What's going on?
Are you making her your daughter-in-law?
They haven't even signed the divorce papers yet.
I looked into it.
The divorce will be over quickly.
Please keep Maeum out of the proceedings.
What do you mean?
She threatened to make him testify in court.
What?
That wicked...
She's a greedy fox.
Dad, this is for the best.
They were going to get divorced anyway.
You can kick her out without giving her a cent.
Let Lawyer Park handle the divorce.
Gangu and fool.
You two prepare for your wedding.
Wedding?
Are you really going to marry them?
Even if she gave birth to Maeum,
aren't you going to check her family background
and education?
I have one criteria for my daughter-in-law.
Making Gangu work well at the company.
After what I saw with the rice cake business,
I don't need to see anything more.
So prepare for your wedding.
Yes, father.
Who says they can get married?
I am still legally Gangu's wife.
How can he get married?
How did you get in?
Isn't anyone out there?
Who would stop me from entering my own home?
That fox...
Secretary Byeon.
You take responsibility for Gangu's divorce.
If you can't take care of it properly,
it's all on you. Got it?
Yes, I understand.
Who says I'm getting divorced?
I refuse to get a divorce. No!
I can't!
(Secrets of Women)
The woman that faked her identity
and married into a rich family.
Who is the man in the shadows?
Sounds like a hot topic.
Chairman Yu is the source of all evil.
It's time for you to enter that house.
You're going to send me back into the sewer?
Why would you say you were in the sewer?
Shut up.
You turned that place into a sewer yourself.
