Episode 62
What happened to Bom? What happened?
If anything happened to you,
you'll get it from me.
How did this happen?
It's terrible for
a girl's face to be scarred.
I'm fine.
This isn't that bad.
What are you talking about?
It could have been very bad.
What will we do about the restored wine?
The second sample bottle is broken.
The event took a lot of time to prepare.
I'm sorry I ruined it.
Don't worry about it.
All that matters is that you're okay.
We can do another launch event later.
Bom! Bom!
Bom!
Ms. Choi.
Who told you to endanger yourself?
Why did you get on a motorcycle?
What if something
went terribly wrong?
I wouldn't have been able to live
if something had happened to you.
I'm fine.
The doctor said Bom was fine.
Don't worry.
How is Maru?
What were you thinking?
What if something happened to Bom?
She only just found her family
and returned to our parents.
What if something awful happened to her?
I'm sorry.
Enough, Aran.
Maru, you were reckless today.
What did I tell you? Always be careful,
and more so when you're rushed.
It won't happen again.
Okay.
How are you?
The detailed test result will be out soon.
But I think I'm okay.
What a relief.
Maru,
we can let this slide as a small accident,
but something like this can't happen again.
I can't let anything happen to Bom.
Please be mindful of that.
If something like this happens again,
I won't forgive you.
Okay.
Oh, my goodness, Bom.
This is terrible.
What are we going to do?
Why did this happen to
my lovely granddaughter's forehead?
Don't worry, grandma.
They said it wouldn't scar.
No? Really?
If she gets it treated well,
she'll be as good as new.
I'll take her to the hospital
every day to get it treated.
I almost passed out when I heard
that you were in a traffic accident.
I thought I'd have to follow you to heaven
if I had lost my dear granddaughter again.
My goodness, mom.
Why are you so morbid?
Where's Maru?
He's still at the hospital.
Why?
Why is my brother still at the hospital?
It's nothing to worry about.
He's waiting for his test results.
You're all so heartless.
All you care about is Bom's little scratch
when Maru's still at the hospital?
Jia, it's not like that.
Maru's not badly hurt.
Never mind.
I'll take care of my brother.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
What did I tell you?
The reason you're here is to
make our parents happy after
their long years of suffering.
So shape up.
Having found you should be worth their while.
Why did this have to happen to Bom?
It wasn't a serious accident.
Kids can get
nicked and scraped on the job.
This doesn't sit well with me.
She wasn't alone.
It was Maru who was driving
when the accident happened.
It wasn't Maru's fault.
I don't know why you keep him around.
I think it's time we let him go.
Stop being so cruel to him.
If you can't do it,
I'll have to.
I'll have to do whatever it takes
to save my granddaughter.
It's all my fault.
I was mean and drove my daughter out,
and I'm being mean,
insisting I can't live with
my brother's wife's daughter.
Geez, Midal.
I said things I didn't mean yesterday
because I got worked up over Chisaem.
Don't dwell on it
and please be understanding.
What? "Please be understanding"?
I'm not stopping you.
Move out if you want to.
Without the three of you,
I'll save money
and do better for myself.
You said you'd contribute $1,000 monthly,
but you give me chump change of $50
or $100 here and there.
We can't help it that we're poor.
All you care about is money.
Fine. Money is all I care about.
Mom, I might really get kicked out.
What?
What? What accident?
Oh, no.
Okay, mom.
Midal, Bom was in an accident.
What? What are you talking about?
They cried and pleaded to take my girl away,
and they let this happen to her?
They're getting it from me.
Midal!
Midal, where are you going?
My goodness.
Midal.
What happened to my daughter?
You should've taken better care of her.
Where is my daughter?
Where is my Bom?
Calm down.
It's nothing serious.
Hey,
after raising her well without a scratch,
I was forced to give her up.
How can you say it's nothing serious when
you won't even let me see her?
Stop being dramatic.
She just has a band-aid on her forehead.
Why did you have to be a big mouth about
my mindless banter?
I wasn't being a big mouth.
Give me back my daughter.
I'm taking Bom back.
Give her back!
That's enough.
You're not taking Bom anywhere.
How dare you raise your voice at me!
Why can't I take her?
I raised her,
so I want her back.
Stop it, mom.
Please, Midal.
Let me look at you, Bom.
Are your arms and legs okay?
I'm perfectly fine.
You wretched thing.
I wasn't going to sit back
if anything had happened to you.
I was going to ask them for compensation.
Mom, I'm fine,
so let's get you home.
I'll take you.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm going to take mom home.
Come on, mom.
We're sorry. We're sorry.
Bye, mom.
What got into you, mom?
I'm perfectly fine.
If you had listened,
you wouldn't have lost it.
This is all your fault,
you wretched thing.
I thought something happened to you
and lost my marbles.
But still...
Why?
Now that you're with your refined birth mother,
I seem ignorant and crass to you?
How can you say that, mom?
Then why haven't you called or visited me?
When I think about how I let you go...
I missed you too.
But I was worried I'd miss you more
if I saw you.
My goodness. You didn't miss me.
Why would you miss me?
Of course she does.
I'm sure Bom missed you too.
I miss hearing Bom say,
"Breakfast, Uncle Baedal" every morning.
But, Bom,
your mom will worry
if you stay here too long.
That's right. Hurry up and go.
I can't keep you here forever anyway.
Run along.
Go. Run along.
Go. Hurry.
Go.
What took you so long?
I apologize for
my mom's rudeness earlier.
Why don't you keep some distance from her?
We're grateful she raised you,
but she's hot-tempered
and can be unreasonable.
I worry she might cause you grief.
Please don't speak ill of my mom.
They think I'm a pushover because I take it.
It's not like I have nothing to say
or no compensation to demand.
This is to cover my cost of raising Bom.
What do you think?
I was planning to discuss this with you anyway.
You should've approached me first
if you had the mind to compensate me.
Why did you have to make me
come to you and ask for it?
I apologize.
I don't need empty apologies.
I will sever all my emotional ties to Bom
if you give me 5% of
the inheritance you're planning to give her.
But...
What is this about-face?
You acted like
you'd give me anything when you took Bom,
but you're hesitant now that money's involved?
Ms. Bae.
We must revise Bom's family status.
Please look it over and call me.
Right.
Bom is your daughter,
so it's only right to switch her over
from our family registry to yours, but...
This means Bom won't be in our registry.
What do I care about retroactive child support?
Bom. Bom.
Huh? What is that?
Bom. My Bom...
Ma'am, is something wrong?
Did someone break in again?
No. It's nothing.
It can't be nothing.
Seeing you cry so plaintively
makes me sad as well.
I'm sorry you had to see me like this.
Please don't say that.
I hope I didn't get in your way.
When you want to cry,
it's best to let it all out.
Thank you for saying that.
Thank you so much.
Here.
With you staying in our storage room,
I feel reassured and comforted.
I won't ask why you're upset.
Pretend I'm not around and
cry to your heart's content.
Excuse me then.
This has to be taken in, right?
Oh, no.
I can have my brother do it later.
That's okay.
I'll consider it a workout.
Sir.
Hey.
Fancy running into you here.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see someone.
Oh, right. I said I'd pay you back for the taxi
but kept forgetting.
Don't worry about it.
What are you talking about?
I can't owe a young lady like yourself.
It really is okay.
No, it's not.
My goodness.
This picture.
I'm Maru's father.
Maru's father?
I left when he was little and only just returned.
Maru's seen me but
doesn't even recognize me.
Maru's spoken about his father.
He has?
I'm too ashamed to ask you what he said.
I'm such a terrible dad.
Don't be.
He misses you too.
He said he acts like he doesn't
but always thinks about his faceless father.
A faceless father...
I shouldn't burden you like this,
but I've made a lot of mistakes.
I'll take care of you from now on.
No one in our family is of any use.
See?
You're in the hospital,
and yet no one's come to see you.
Everyone's busy.
No one has as much time to spare as you.
Maru.
Bom.
You're something else.
Maru got hurt while trying to help you,
but it took you
this long to show up?
I'm sorry.
I wanted to come sooner,
but I had to stop by the office.
Now that you're stepmom's daughter,
you won't even associate with us?
Why are you being like this to Bom?
Can't I even speak my mind?
Since when has Bom gotten too good for us?
Don't mind what Jia said.
Have you eaten?
It must be hard with your broken arm.
Jia's around, so I'm fine.
Why haven't you eaten?
You need to eat well when you're hurt.
Let's eat.
I don't have an appetite.
Eat anyway.
Here.
Maru,
you once mentioned your birth father...
I don't want to talk about him.
Do you know what I've always hated?
Any mention of my father.
I don't want to talk about him with you either.
Oh, my goodness.
What is the meaning of this?
What are you two doing?
Maru hurt his arm,
so Bom must be helping him eat.
Bom, shouldn't you get back to work?
Grandma and I will look after Maru,
so get going.
How disgraceful.
Don't you have any sense of shame?
I'll get going then.
Maru, take care of yourself.
Fancy seeing you here.
What are you doing here?
I came to visit someone who was hospitalized,
but he's been discharged already.
I got this for him as he used to like it.
Would you like some?
Here.
I like this too.
What a treat.
Thank you.
What a shame you hurt your right arm.
Let me see that.
I'll write a spell for a quick recovery.
(My beloved son)
Thank you.
I'll treat you to beer and chicken once I get out.
Okay.
I'll be waiting.
Please eat.
I'll go and check on Ms. Lee often.
Don't worry and
just get your bearings here.
Oh, my goodness.
What is the meaning of this?
No can do.
That should never happen.
Grandma, what should never happen?
Yes. To get one away from her,
I must get her together with the other.
I have something to ask you in confidence.
There's no one else in the house,
so we can have a heart-to-heart talk.
So you love Bom no matter what, right?
After hurting your eldest granddaughter,
I know I'm offending you
just by mentioning Bom's name,
but I'll be honest since you're asking.
I really love Bom.
I'm sorry.
My goodness.
But a young person's love cannot be stifled.
Romantic relationships cannot be controlled
by will.
I'm ashamed, ma'am.
If I help you get together with Bom,
are you ready to get down on your knees
and beg Aran for her forgiveness?
Of course, ma'am.
Then you have my support regarding Bom.
Mother.
Hey, An Taeho!
When did you get home?
Mother, what were you saying?
What do you think you're doing?
Why are you trying to win over a frail old lady?
You're a piece of work.
That's enough.
I asked him to come see me.
I asked him over to find out
if he had feelings for Bom.
Mother, what are you trying to do?
Bom is one thing,
but what about Aran?
I'm doing this for my granddaughter.
Although you gave birth to her,
she's of my blood too.
Stop being unreasonable.
What did you just say?
What? Unreasonable?
You have no respect for your mother-in-law.
Do you think I want to do this?
I just want the best for my granddaughter.
How can Gukhui be like this to me?
How can she treat me like I'm senile
without letting me explain first?
Gukhui has all the right to be angry.
You were on the wrong, mom.
I'm very angry too.
Good heavens.
Is my only son disrespecting me too?
How can this be?
I'm too upset and saddened to even cry.
So don't do it again.
Fine.
So you're telling me to leave, aren't you?
You want this old hag out of the house, right?
Fine.
I'm leaving.
Where will you go?
Anywhere would be better than here.
Geez, mom.
Jeongmi.
You're something else, Baedal.
Did I say something wrong?
She's trying to make a killing off Bom.
How can she ask for $200,000?
So I merely told her she was pushing it.
What was so wrong with that?
We're in no position to take issue with her.
We should be fawning on her to no end,
not speaking our mind.
It's unnerving how money-grubbing Midal is,
but it's even more unsettling that
you're such a wimp.
Listen, honey.
You've gone overboard.
How can you call me a wimp?
At least Chisaem's father was man enough
to take my side in front of his mother.
What did you just say?
You're the only one I have here.
But if you don't take my side,
I don't know how I stay on.
What?
So are you saying you can't live with me?
I'll have to think about it.
I thought I'd stay with my daughter,
but it looks like a no-go.
Our new tenant seems to have
experienced his fair share of sadness.
Hello, Midal.
What are you doing here?
And why so chummy?
Bom's no longer here.
And your son stopped coming too.
Neither of them is here.
I know.
I'm not here to see the kids.
I came to see you.
What are you trying to do?
Why are you being so friendly?
You see...
I hear Bom hasn't warmed up to Ms. Bae yet.
And that's to be expected.
You're the one who raised her after all.
I'm sure you're the only one in Bom's heart.
So?
I'll just cut to the chase.
Let's get Bom and Taeho together.
What?
You can't be serious.
It wasn't long ago that
you basically assaulted Bom.
I know.
I was a bad judge of character
and made a terrible mistake.
How could I have known that Bom
was such a sweet, lovely child?
So let's forget what happened
and join forces to
get our kids together.
Get our kids together? Dream on.
Stop spouting nonsense
and don't you dare come back.
Never ever.
How ignorant. I can't get through to her.
Doesn't she know to adjust
to the changing tides?
What the...
Ms. Kim?
Ms. Yun.
My goodness.
Goodness me. Come in.
Why were you outside for hours
in this frigid cold?
Please sit down.
Ma'am.
Good heavens.
Good heavens. Woe is me.
When you're old, you must stay
quietly in your room, never speaking
your mind or acting on your thoughts.
What happened?
I drew on the wisdom of my years
to get your eldest son together with Bom,
but my daughter-in-law kicked me out.
Pardon?
What are you talking about?
After careful consideration,
I realized that with young people these days,
we shouldn't ask for more
than their love for one another.
But of course.
That goes without saying.
You are so right, ma'am.
But my daughter-in-law
was going
to bite my head off.
I know Ms. Bae is very stuffy and stubborn,
but who knew she lacked the flexibility
even someone much older than her is showing?
Does your family know where you are?
I didn't tell them as
no one stopped me from leaving.
Ma'am, please don't worry about anything
and just make yourself at home.
My mother-in-law is at your place?
Okay.
Good grief.
What is she trying to prove by going there?
Geez.
Mom, let's go home.
You're imposing on Mr. An's family.
I like it here.
They're nice and make me feel at home.
Unlike some people, they don't disrespect me.
What I said earlier was uncalled for, mother.
Please forgive me and come home.
Goodness me. I'm getting drowsy.
Your legs are as shapely as you are virtuous.
Mother, this is no time to be throwing a tantrum.
What did you say? Throwing a tantrum?
You heard that, right?
How can she say that to her mother-in-law?
You're right.
It was a bit offensive.
This won't resolve the matter regarding Bom.
Let's go.
I think it'd be best to let Ms. Kim sleep here.
I'll take her home
in the morning,
so don't worry and go home.
Ma'am, you can stay as long as you like.
I thought you were just pretty on the outside,
but you're pretty on the inside as well.
This couldn't have fallen on its own.
And this room has restricted access.
(Choi Aran)
(15:42)
15:42 was just before the launch event.
So was Ms. Choi here right before
I came to get the sample?
Please tell me the truth.
Did you break the sample bottle
of sinseonju?
What?
Why are dumping your mistake on me?
Why were you in the development room then?
Why would I have gone there?
Your name was in the entry log.
An employee forgot her entry card,
so I let her in.
Which employee?
Why do I have to tell you?
Fine. Let's say I broke the sample bottle.
Do you have proof?
Do you have proof that it was me?
I won't let this slide.
Hey, where are you going?
I still can't believe the sample mismanagement
that led to yesterday's disaster.
Where's the director of product development?
I'll go and get him.
What do you think you're doing?
What's the point in
digging up what's said and done?
Hey, Oh Bom.
How dare she...
(Oh Bom)
What a pretty bracelet.
That must be the matching sister bracelet.
Yes.
My name is engraved on Aran's,
and Aran's name is engraved on mine.
Why is Aran's bracelet here?
Ms. Choi, please admit to it just once
that you broke the sample bottle.
If you hate me that much,
I can leave.
Yes. I do abhor you,
and I did do it.
So what though?
Do you want me to tell mom it was me?
Yes. Please tell her the truth.
Why should I?
What for?
There's no proof it was me.
I can destroy the entry log.
Did anyone see me break the sample bottle?
Choi Aran!
Is this the kind of proof you're
talking about?
