Seung Joon.
Come here.
Come on, Seung Joon.
Seung Joon.
It's me, Mum.
Come here, please?
Come to Mum.
Mum?
See?
He is your son.
What are you doing?
Let go of his hand.
- Let go. - No.
I changed my mind.
I...
won't give this kid back to you.
What?
No.
You can't take Seung Joon. I said you can't!
What are you trying to do?
Now, I have the right to do anything I want.
You said that you're his mum. You gave birth to him.
That makes this kid...
- To me, this kid is... - Who do you think you are?
How dare you think that you have the right to say these things?
Try to remember...
what you did to me and Seung Joon.
- Have you forgotten all about it? - But you gave birth to him.
You just went ahead and gave birth to him.
So he has nothing to do with you.
Give him back to me. You...
If you're really going to keep this up,
I don't know what I'll end up doing.
Seung Joon.
It's all right. Everything is okay now.
Mum is here.
It's okay. It's okay.
I heard everything I needed to hear...
and confirmed everything I wanted to know.
You admitted it so quickly today. Why didn't you do it sooner?
Don't look at me like that.
- You can't scare me. - Wrong.
I bet you're terrified.
I will never forget what you did...
to Seung Joon today.
I will not let it slide.
I'll be sure to make you pay for it.
You'll end up living in pain for the rest of your life.
I will...
teach you a lesson.
How cheeky.
Fine.
Bring it on. Let's see which one of us...
will end up suffering in pain.
- Gosh, Seung Joon! - Seung Joon.
My gosh, Seung Joon. Goodness.
Gosh, Seung Joon...
Seung Joon, what happened?
I was so worried thinking that you went missing.
What happened? Were you with him the whole time?
I thought that jerk took him.
I was about to leave to go teach him a serious lesson.
If Mum finds out,
this could actually turn into a big problem.
No.
I missed Seung Joon so much,
so I asked one of the employees at Baekdu Films to bring him.
I'm sorry for not letting you know in advance.
What? Then you should've given me a heads-up...
or told Young Soo's mum the truth.
I thought Seung Joon was kidnapped.
Gosh, for goodness' sake.
- I'm sorry, Mum. - Be quiet.
My heart was skipping beats so badly earlier.
Gosh, look at this. My hands are still shaking like this.
So...
that boy is my son.
Kang In Kyung.
Are you going to become a menace to me like this?
No.
I won't let it happen.
I will do everything in my power to make sure that I can...
snatch that kid from your hands.
(No Scrutiny for Unlicensed Orphanages)
"Unlicensed orphanages"?
That's right.
I should hide him at a place like this.
Somewhere like this where In Kyung can't find him.
That boy.
He must disappear from this world.
It sounds like Mr Cha has gone absolutely insane.
How could he do that to that little boy? I mean, Seung Joon is his son.
I should...
use the person whom he's most afraid of.
The person whom he's afraid of?
- Are you referring to Chairman Nam? - Yes.
He's worried that he might lose everything he's enjoying right now.
That's why he's anxious and nervous.
Chairman Nam is the only person who can take everything away...
from him in a matter of seconds.
That is true, but it'll also be a little dangerous.
We don't know whom he'll end up siding with...
between you and Cha Min Woo.
If it goes wrong, it could be the end of your acting career.
All of this has already happened,
so I should make a lethal move.
My Seung Joon.
You must've been so scared today.
Mum is sorry.
But...
I was also...
extremely terrified today.
I'm still scared.
However,
I have you.
Because I have you in my life,
I'm going to try to overcome my fear...
and become stronger.
I'll become stronger as a mother for you.
I promise.
What brings you here, Ms Kang?
It doesn't look like it's about the film.
It's something personal.
I'm here because...
there's something I'd like to ask you.
It's something personal?
Go ahead and ask me.
Sir.
By any chance,
do you know what happened...
between me and Mr Cha in the past?
Did you come all the way here to ask me about that?
Yes, I've known about it.
If the two of you end up getting back together...
and break my daughter's heart even by just a little bit,
I'll make sure that both Min Woo and you...
pay for what you did.
You don't need to worry about that, Sir.
It'll never happen.
If he ever tries to approach you with bad intentions,
you should tell me.
I'll banish him to a place where he'll never...
be able to approach you and bother you again.
Yes, Sir.
I'll be sure to let you know.
Step aside. Move over! Goodness!
Hey...
Why... Why are you here?
- His guest was you? - Yes.
- I had to speak with him. - About what?
Did you come here to tell him on me about the spaghetti incident...
and your dress getting ripped?
Go ahead and ask him directly if you want to know.
How dare you...
Gosh, that tattler.
Mr Byun.
If I become the president of Baekdu Films...
President?
Mr Cha, you're a very ambitious man.
Becoming the president of Baekdu Films means...
Right. Dream big or go home.
If you do achieve that goal, I'll certainly benefit from it.
Of course.
If I do get there, I'll make you a director...
No.
I should be able to give you the executive director title.
So are you saying that you'll make me an executive director...
when or if you become the president of this company?
That's right. If you continue to help me, that is.
Of course I'll help you.
We're already in the same boat, you know.
Then what should I start with?
That little boy.
In Kyung admitted that he's her son.
I knew it.
I told you...
that he must be your son.
If I want to make Baekdu Films mine,
I must avoid getting on Chairman Nam's nerves. You know that, right?
Yes. Of course I'm aware.
If he finds out that you had a child with another woman,
he might actually kill you.
Hence, I decided...
to take him from her.
Take him? How?
Are you thinking of filing a paternity suit?
Then shall I look for the best attorney in town?
Lawsuit? What are you talking about?
If people find out about that boy,
both you and I will be doomed.
Oh, you're right. If that's the case...
First,
look into these...
unlicensed orphanages this article talks about.
It has to be a place where no one can find him.
I see. So you're saying that you want to hide him there, right?
I got it. Don't worry.
I'll find the best place for that.
Also, watch that kid's every move and find out where he usually goes.
Sure thing. That's my speciality, you know. Don't worry at all.
Who knows what can happen?
I must not dirty my hands.
I should use this guy first.
So you're saying that Chairman Nam isn't concerned with your...
past relationship with Cha Min Woo even though he's aware of it.
I don't think he knows what's going on between us now.
If he finds out about Seung Joon,
he won't let it slide.
Cha Min Woo, Seung Joon...
and myself will all be in trouble.
But he's the best shield you can use now...
because he's the person whom Cha Min Woo is most afraid of.
Yes, I know.
However, it's the last resort.
I admit that I am scared,
but I'm ready and willing to take any risks...
in order to protect Seung Joon from Cha Min Woo.
Well...
I just wanted to give you the update and leave you to work.
- I hope I'm not being a nuisance. - Gosh, no.
We're close enough to enjoy a cup of tea together like this.
Thanks to you, I can also get a quick break.
Then I'll stop worrying about it.
Oh, right. I haven't seen In Kyung today.
Is she at the hair salon now?
Oh, we're signing a long-term lease today. She'll be here soon.
A long-term lease?
We've been renting the place we currently live month-to-month.
I think she always felt bad about it.
So we decided to move with the money she has saved up.
I wanted to contribute a bit of money, but she kept saying no.
I can just picture her saying no to you.
You can save up and buy a house for your family later.
You're absolutely right. I should.
I envy you.
Pardon me?
You envy me because we're signing a long-term lease?
No, it's because you and In Kyung care so much about each other.
(Name: Kang In Kyung)
Thank you so much for everything you've done for us, Mr Choi.
Why are you thanking him? This house is so old.
How can he rent it to people without even bothering to fix it up?
Mum, stop it.
Are you moving to the neighbourhood just south of here?
Yes. Please keep the house clean.
I'll stop by from time to time to check in, okay?
- Sure. Please don't worry. - All right.
Oh, gosh.
He thinks he can act high and mighty just because he's a landlord.
We wouldn't have been able to survive in Seoul without his help.
I know that, but...
it's not exciting at all since we're not moving to a new place.
Han Soo said that he'll put up new wallpaper.
New wallpaper and furniture pieces...
will make it feel like a new house.
We should try to freshen it up for Seung Joon.
Yes, you're right.
Then all of us should work on it together on Han Soo's day off.
That sounds great, Mum.
(No Scrutiny for Unlicensed Orphanages)
Mr Cha, are you busy?
Can it wait if it's not about work?
I have news that will pique your curiosity.
Guess whom I ran into at Tae Joon's office earlier today.
Get this. In Kyung was there to see him.
Ms Kang was there?
Why was she there? What was it about?
Well, that I don't know.
She said that she was just stopping by to say hello,
but it looked like there was more to it.
What would it be?
Mr Cha, is anything coming to your mind?
No.
I'm sure it's nothing important. Please don't worry about it.
It looked like there was something more to it?
Could In Kyung be thinking of...
("Sad Dream")
Look, In Kyung.
What did you say to Chairman Nam?
Did you come all the way here to ask me about that?
Tell me now.
What did you tell him?
We had a quite serious conversation.
What?
About Chairman Nam...
How much do you think he knows about our relationship?
Did you...
You didn't tell him everything, did you?
Well...
How much do you think I've told him?
- Kang In Kyung. - If you're that curious,
go ask him yourself.
Stop following me around with that anxious look on your face.
I mean, you're his one and only son-in-law.
- How dare you... - Or shall I ask him for you?
"How much do you know about our relationship, Sir?"
"Your son-in-law is dying to know."
- Kang In Kyung! - Lower your voice.
Have you forgotten? We're at work now.
You're unbelievable.
Chairman Nam,
how much have you heard from In Kyung?
Could he be...
pretending to know nothing when he actually knows everything?
Da Eun, do you want to sleep beside Grandpa today?
You won't have a restful sleep if she doesn't sleep through the night.
I'll be fine even if I don't get enough sleep.
I'll be just so happy to have Da Eun right beside me. Right, Da Eun?
Tae Joon, I'm starting to feel a little jealous here.
Do you love Da Eun that much?
Of course I do. She looks...
just like Hee Ae when Hee Ae was around her age.
I think...
that she's half Hee Ae and half Min Woo. Don't you agree?
Pardon me?
Oh, yes. She is.
She looks nothing like Min Woo.
From her clear, beautiful eyes to how her mouth looks when she smiles,
she looks just like her mother.
When she grows up, she'll look so much like how Hee Ae looks now.
Dad, you're funny.
Those of us who don't have the surname, Nam, feel excluded.
Don't be so mean to us.
People will probably assume that Da Eun's surname...
is Nam, not Cha.
Who cares about her surname?
What's important is that Da Eun is my adorable granddaughter.
Gosh, Tae Joon.
- You're hurting Min Woo's feelings. - Not at all.
Da Eun's grandpa loves her because she takes after her beautiful mum.
Why would it hurt my feelings?
I don't think your father likes the fact that Da Eun takes after me.
Or...
is he more bothered by the fact that I'm her dad?
Honey, what are you talking about?
I'm just saying.
To be honest, he did hurt my feelings a little bit earlier.
He was talking as if he doesn't care about me at all...
- as if I'm not part of his family. - Do you still not know how he is?
He just meant that he adores Da Eun so much.
He adores her because she's your daughter.
The fact that I'm her dad doesn't matter.
Honey.
Just because...
Da Eun is obviously your family,
but I just feel that you father still doesn't fully approve of me.
Just redoing the wallpaper and the flooring...
made this place feel like a new house.
Gosh, stop making such a fuss.
People will think that you bought this house.
You silly. Switching to a long-term lease isn't an easy thing to do.
Mum, give me a little bit of time. I'll buy a fancy mansion for you.
There's no need.
This is good enough for me.
Gosh, look at that room!
Who would've guessed that I'd end up using that master bedroom?
Compared to when In Kyung and I used to sleep in Geum Soon's room,
this is like a fancy mansion to me.
We just have to put up the wallpaper in that room, right?
Yes. But it'll take no time because Choon Ja's room is so tiny.
Tiny?
Kid, you'll have to sleep...
in that tiny room from now on.
I know. I'll feel so claustrophobic.
I don't even know if I'll be able to stretch my legs.
Are you bragging about your long legs or what?
"The sun came out from behind the clouds and smiled brightly."
"The temperature rose, and the man took off his clothes."
"You can't solve all problems by being demanding."
"Embarrassed of itself because of what the sun said,"
"the wind vanished to a faraway land."
We finished this book.
I'm sorry, Seung Joon.
I have to head out now.
When will this kid come out of the house?
Kid,
you have to get out of the house so that I can take you.
- Be careful. - Come here, my baby.
There we go.
Let's sit down.
In Kyung, are you heading out now?
Yes.
Mum, please take good care of Seung Joon.
Don't you worry. Seung Joon and I will have a lot of fun today.
You're so adorable.
Babysitting him all day long must be exhausting for you.
We should try to come up with another solution.
Gosh, people will assume that Ms Park...
is Seung Joon's grandmother and that you're his mum.
Hello!
Is this where Ms Kang In Kyung lives?
Yes. I'm Kang In Kyung.
Mr Nam Jung Ho of Baekdu Films sent this for you.
- Mr Nam? - Yes.
Mr Nam has such great taste.
He picked what you'd love.
Why did he send me a mirror out of the blue?
Oh, he must've sent it as a house-warming gift.
I told him about us signing a long-term lease.
Han Soo.
- This mirror... - In Kyung.
It's rude to return a gift you received.
I was going to ask you to hang it for me.
- What? - I'll leave it in your hands, then.
Oh, I see. Don't even worry.
(Baekdu Films)
Goodness.
You never put down the script.
Make sure to take some breaks.
I can't act as well as I want to, no matter how hard I try.
That's why I can't stop reading the script.
You're already doing a great job.
Oh, right. I've meaning to thank you for the mirror you sent me.
It's such a beautiful mirror. Thank you so much.
You didn't have to get anything.
Thank you.
Picking out that mirror was so difficult.
- Do you like it? - Yes.
It's so pretty that I had to keep it.
I made a successful choice, then.
I gave you that mirror...
for a reason.
I want you to look in the mirror and smile as often as you can.
Try to smile a lot for yourself.
I will.
Also, you'll think of me every time you see it.
I won't blame you if you want to think about me a little.
Pardon me?
Well... I just meant that...
You don't really have to think about me.
Oh, boy.
Goodness.
You didn't put glue properly on that spot over there.
Where?
- Here? - No.
Right next to it.
- Here? - Yes.
Be gentle, will you? You'll end up ripping the wallpaper.
Are you here to babble away or what?
You said that you were going to help me, so you have to do something.
What? When did I say that I'd help you?
You dragged me here. Also,
my precious hands...
only work when I have to do makeup for the actress, Kang In Kyung.
All right, fine. I'll do everything,
so just stay right there.
You should've said that from the get-go.
Han Soo. By the way,
you've been speaking so casually to me lately.
What do you mean?
You used to talk more politely to me.
We've gotten close enough.
What did you just say?
Have you forgotten that I'm older than you?
What is the matter with you?
Hey, roll up my sleeve for me.
My goodness, you're trying to order me around again.
Hey, come on!
Can you also do something about my bangs for me?
I can't focus because it keeps bugging me.
Gosh, you're so fussy.
Is it better now?
My lips are so itchy. Why are they so itchy all of a sudden?
How dare you pout your lips in front of my face? You little...
Gosh, it hurts. You're hurting me. Stop it, seriously.
Why are you sitting alone in my office?
I came to speak to you about promoting "Sad Dream",
but you seemed to be busy with something else,
so I've been waiting for you here.
Don't stall and cut to the chase.
The reporter, Mr Park, of "Daehan Daily" will be coming by.
He'll want to interview you...
- and take photos of the set. - Mr Park?
The one who is all about digging up stuff on celebrities' private lives?
You're not going to tell me that you will deny his interview request...
just because he rubs you the wrong way, are you?
You say that you always separate your personal feelings from work.
You're saying it's for promoting the film.
My feelings shouldn't get in the way, of course.
All right.
We lived together for eight years,
yet I don't think I know much about you at all.
What is this about now?
I didn't know...
that you were the type of man who buys gifts for women.
I can't believe you bought her a mirror.
Had I known about it, I would've asked you to buy me things.
I'm regretting not doing so.
You're seriously a piece of work.
- Did you eavesdrop on us? - No, I didn't.
You two were laughing and talking so loudly that everyone could hear you.
You sounded very happy.
It's ridiculous that I'm talking to my ex-wife about this matter.
I should go to the set now.
You can stay a little longer if you have a lot of time on your hands.
Are you going to keep avoiding me and fooling me like this?
Nam Jung Ho and Kang In Kyung.
Let's see until when you can hide it from me.
If I catch any evidence, I'll take...
the two of you down in one blow.
(Baekdu Films, Set Number 3)
- You found a place? - Yes.
It fits all the requirements you listed.
It's in a very remote area where people rarely visit.
It's an unlicensed orphanage. It'll be hard to track him down.
- Can we trust this place? - Yes, of course.
I was being cryptic on purpose,
but the director understood me right away.
If we change that kid's name and send him there,
no one will be able to find him.
So we've found a place to send him to.
That means we just need to go kidnap him now.
(Baekdu Films, Filming Set)
You acted as if you'd never be away from your son.
Why didn't you bring him here?
As you're well aware, the set isn't exactly a safe place.
There's a piece of trash like you, too.
Get out of my way.
Is that so?
Anyway, try to spend as much time as you can with your son.
You don't have that much time left.
Are you trying to threaten me again?
No, it's not a threat.
Shall I say it's more like an ultimatum?
You're his mum, so you should know what kind of fate lies ahead of him.
That boy.
I'll be sure to take him from you.
Do you seriously think I'll let that happen?
I told you. I'm a mother.
I will...
keep my son safe, no matter what happens.
I'm not sure if it's something a rising actress can say.
Trying to protect that kid...
will make you lose everything you've worked so hard for.
I don't care. My priority is keeping my son safe.
So don't even think that you can threaten me like this.
I can let go of anything and everything for him.
I don't care even if I end up losing everything.
But you know what?
If I lose everything and protect my son,
what will you be able to protect?
Are you belittling everything I have now?
My father-in-law owns Baekdu Group.
Someone like you can't even dare to touch me. Do you understand?
You're wrong.
You won't be able to protect anything you have now.
Everything you've earned in such a shameful, pathetic way...
and all of those things you've been trying so hard to protect. You'll...
end up losing all of them in a flash.
I'll be sure to make it happen.
So...
don't you dare try to take my son. If you do, I will...
destroy both you and your life.
