What brings you here?
It's all your fault!
You killed my father!
You're awfully rude to the woman who's your mother on paper.
Watch it.
I don't know how you took control of the company and killed my father...
but I'll never forgive you.
And if you don't? What could you possibly do to me?
What?
That's all big talk. It's nonsense.
You wanna hurt me? Become powerful.
Move in. Marry the daughter of HB Construction's chairman.
Then you'll have your chance.
And as your father willed, the company and its employees will be safe.
I don't believe you.
So all you'll do with your life is hate me?
Sorry. Were you worried?
Things happened so suddenly I couldn't find the time to call.
Hi, mom.
I'll be home in the afternoon.
I'm sorry. Bye.
Your family?
Yeah.
I forgot to call them.
Don't you have someone waiting for you at home?
It's been a long time. You could be married.
- You don't have to answer. - I will.
There's no one waiting.
- Let's go. - Jeong-woo...
I might...
be able to forgive you.
You ran away from our happiness, thinking you didn't deserve it.
I can understand that.
I thought the same.
I found myself laughing one day after our baby died.
I was happy in that moment, and I couldn't forgive myself for that.
Thank you for being alive.
Lady?
Where is she?
Hyeong-woo! What are you doing?
Mom, I'm hurt. I'm bleeding.
- Let's get you fixed up. Lady... - Hospital, please.
I'm bleeding now, so let's go to the hospital.
Let's go see Nurse Seo.
I'll do it.
I'll get you everything you want.
So Eun-young didn't come home at all?
She didn't come.
If only nurses had a 9 to 5 shift. This is bad for her health.
So true.
Anyone home?
Who could that be? Go see.
Who is it?
Chairwoman!
Good morning.
Oh, hello.
Morning.
I want us to become in-laws.
- In-laws? - In...
In-laws?
Yes.
So you want your son and our Eun-young...
- ...to marry? - Yes.
Wow.
Sweetie, what's going on?
But you've never even seen her before.
Your daughter was in charge of my son when he was in the hospital recently.
Ah!
Let me get this straight. When your son was hospitalized,
he fell for Eun-young!
That's absolutely right.
I'll be honest. My son really likes your daughter.
And as his mother, I couldn't just watch him pine away.
Don't worry about Eun-young.
She hasn't had much experience with guys...
Shush, dear.
Thank you for acknowledging and accept my daughter.
I hope you can understand...
I can't really respond to this because she's never even mentioned your son.
Of course I understand. I just stopped by to say hello.
We'll meet more officially next time.
- Oh, leaving so soon? - I'm sorry for dropping by so suddenly.
- Not at all. - We should offer you some breakfast...
Maybe next time. I shouldn't have dropped by without calling ahead.
Not at all. Take care then.
- Goodbye. - Let me get the door for you.
Goodbye.
What was that? She wants Eun-young as her daughter-in-law?
What in the world is going on? Let's call your sister and ask.
Stop with the fuss. You'll just bother her at work.
You're one to ruin the mood!
So that house belongs to her father?
Yes, he bought it 3 years ago.
You must be tired.
I got some sleep. You're the one who did all the driving.
Don't doze off during work.
What is it?
- You're back for good? - Yes, I am.
You'll be late. Go on in.
- I'll call you later. - No...
Don't call unless it's urgent. I'll call you.
It's hard to take personal calls while I'm driving the president around.
Oh, that makes sense. Call me when you can.
Drive safely.
I will.
<Missed calls: Na-kyeong, Na-kyeong, Na-kyeong...>
Hyeon-woo, it's me.
I have a favor.
Where's Mr. President Son?
He had an important meeting early in the morning.
They're already working him way too hard.
Oh, is that you, Jeong-woo?
I'm home.
Didn't you go to work because of some meeting?
You left some documents behind, right? I found them in your study.
Yeah, thanks.
You should've sent your secretary to pick that up.
- Continue with breakfast. - Okay.
You must be tired.
You're not gonna ask where I was all night?
You mentioned a sudden meeting. I'm sure you were at the office.
You're on a whole different level.
I am?
It's hard to find a wife who trusts in her husband 100% like you do.
It's hard to cheat on a woman like that.
Good thing I didn't question you.
The guy I sent to Japan came back suddenly.
Didn't you send your friend Jeong Hyeon-woo?
- Yeah. - Did he bring bad news?
The reports he took to Dodo were insufficient.
We spent the entire night reassessing it, and I think things are going to work out.
That's a relief. Go wash up before breakfast.
Okay.
The president already left, ma'am.
You're still as capable as ever, Jeong-woo. Good work pulling off an all-nighter.
I'll call you when I land in Japan.
Hurry up and wash up. Mother prepared your favorite soup.
I'll be right out.
Jeong-woo...
What the hell are you doing?
She's super rich and all she brings is a cake?
What is this?
M-mom. Mom!
Why are you making a fuss?
Mom, take a look at this.
Wh-what is...?
Hundred, thousand... ten thousand..?
How many zeroes... oh my!
I'm off to work.
D-dearest! Look...
T-take a look at this!
- What is it? - It came with the cake.
- I have to meet the president. - Not without an appointment.
Then tell him that he'll regret it if he doesn't meet with me now.
And what exactly would I be regretting?
You the president?
You know Joo Ae-suk?
When will the next chilly day come?
- What are you doing? - Just trying it on for size.
Going somewhere?
A friend is holding an art exhibition. I won't be late.
- Have a good time. - I'll be back.
Mother, have you seen the news?
Global warming has temperatures rising.
So what?
Just... global warming is a terrible thing. I'll see you later then.
So she's saying I won't get to wear this?
It's stinkin' hot!
- Hello? - What have you done!
What's he yelling about now?
- What do you mean? - You set Hyeong-woo up?
What were you trying to pull?
I don't know what you've heard, but that girl tricked me.
I'm a victim, too!
She doesn't come by the office unless there's a meeting.
She works from her home.
I can't tell you her address, but I can pass a message along.
- What is this about? - Well, Mr. Yoon...
I have to ask you something. Have a seat.
Sure.
You've known the chairwoman a long time, right?
That's right. I've been working here since Chairman Kang was alive.
Then do you by any chance...
do you know anything about her son?
You know that the new president is not her son by birth.
I've only heard rumors so I can't say for sure.
But her real son isn't normal.
- Hmm, you waiting for a call? - Nope.
- What is it? - Strange, isn't it?
You were moping around yesterday, but today you're full of smiles.
- Then should I frown instead? - You call that a joke?
The guardian for the patient in 303 is looking for you.
You're wanted by a guardian. You should hurry.
You won't get rid of me so easily.
Hey, Bo-young.
I'm good to talk. Something up?
I'm hurt, you know.
Thought I'd ruin your chances if you told me about your rich future in-laws?
What are you talking about?
Still not gonna tell me?
Your future mother-in-law stopped by in the morning.
How'd you catch the heir to Dream In?
Say that again. Who came by?
Why'd you come?
You refuse to answer my calls. I had to come to explain myself.
I'm busy.
I don't know what sis told you...
- She didn't say a word. - Then how'd you find out?
The woman came to see me, demanding that I pay her since you refuse to.
Or else she'll go to the chairwoman.
She out of her mind?
How dare she blackmail us when she ruined the whole thing...
You know that a regular woman will not marry Hyeong-woo.
It'll inevitably be a gold-digger. So why not a woman on my side?
He can't take over Dream In even without those schemes of yours.
Don't fool yourself.
Becoming president didn't make you the heir.
If a smart girl comes along and has Hyeong-woo's soon,
you think you'll be safe?
I'll take care of it. Go home.
My dear son.
Don't you worry about a thing. I'll take care of it all.
Go home already.
S-sure. If sis asks you about it, tell her you know nothing.
If she seems mad at me, take her side and tell her you feel the same.
Okay?
I want the 2009 status report. Now.
I'm leaving already.
Bye.
Let go of me! I have to meet the president!
You in on it, too? Is that why...
you promoted a worthless thing like me and raised my hopes for nothing?
Mr. Seo, please stop!
It's fine. Leave us.
Look here, you insane? This is the president's office!
That's enough. Go home, mother.
- But, son... - Go on.
Alright.
Have a seat, sir. What seems to be the problem?
You people may think of others as items to buy and sell, but not my daughter.
You can't have my daughter, even if you offered the entire company.
There seems to be a misunderstanding. Let's sit and talk about it.
Misunderstanding?
Your haughty chairwoman came herself with this envelope of money.
Trying to buy off my daughter!
The chairwoman did?
Stop right there. You're awfully rude.
She's not a slave trader. Why would she try to buy your daughter?
- Mother... - She wants my daughter to marry.
To marry that son of hers!
I understand.
I'll give the chairwoman a call.
You're too busy for all this.
He can go meet the chairwoman himself.
You shouldn't be taking this up with President Kang here.
Want me to show you where she lives?
You know where she lives?
Of course. We're family, you know.
Mother, don't get involved. Just go home.
Is that so? Alright.
- Lady. - Yes, ma'am?
There's an important guest coming. Go prepare some tea.
He won't eat and just stands there all day.
Leave him be. He'll eat when he's hungry.
She came this morning to ask permission for you to marry her son.
She's so rich she left a huge check behind.
Dad took it with him in a fit of anger.
What are you doing?
He spilled juice on himself, but won't let me help him.
I tried to take off the whistle.
Stop that at once!
What's he doing now? Hyeong-woo!
Hyeong-woo, look at me.
You can see that I'm angry.
Keep this up and you're no longer my son. You okay with that?
We have a guest over. How should you behave?
Stay quietly in my room.
That's right. Good boy.
Go change clothes, okay?
Okay.
Aren't you going to say hello?
Go bring that tea for our guest.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll help you with that!
- Have a seat. - I...
came storming over here to set you straight.
But I won't because I pity you.
Don't you ever approach my daughter again.
Did I give you too little?
Dear god, you're crazy.
The world's gone crazy, full of crazy money,
and you're the cause of it.
Let's cut to the chase. How much do you want?
Give me the entire department store, and I'll consider it.
Why? Can't do it?
You're wondering if the poor security guy has gone crazy, too, now.
My entire life...
I've depended on my family for money, so I'll do almost anything for money.
But this filthy thing you gave us.
Not this cursed thing.
The sight of it makes me sick.
I say no to every last bit of your money.
So back off!
You won't... reconsider?
Dear lord... oh god...
You're completely insane.
Too fargone for me.
What the hell are you doing?
That's right. I'm insane.
You saw how my son can't do a thing on his own.
And now he refuses to eat or sleep because of a woman.
What mother wouldn't go insane?
He's not a criminal or a murderer.
He's the sweetest thing and has never done anything to hurt me.
He's just very sick.
Can't you take pity on him and accept him?
What are you trying to pull here?
Dad.
Ma'am...
I'll repeat it one last time.
Not while I'm alive. No! Not even over my dead body.
There will never be a marriage between our families.
Don't show up in front of us again!
- Let's go. - Dad, hold on.
- Let's go! - Wait...
Oh my, sis... sis...
- What is going on? - Please stand up.
- Ma'am! - Sis!
I'm fine.
Go draw my bath. I need a hot bath.
Yes, ma'am.
You... did well.
Nurse Seo... you did well.
- Then I'm off. - You're going to the president?
I was a little rude to him earlier.
So I'm gonna give this to Mr. Seong instead.
I'll go.
- You will? - Yes.
I'll show off a bit and tell them that they're losing a great asset.
There's no need for that.
You don't want to face them.
I'll go so find somewhere warm to wait for me.
It's fine... I can go!
Come in.
Seo Ho-gu turned in a letter of resignation.
- Did he come himself? - Well...
His daughter brought the letter instead.
Substitute it with a leave of absence until I order otherwise.
Yes, sir.
Hold on, when did his daughter come by?
She just left. Should I bring her back?
No, I'll go myself.
It's me, dad. I handed it in.
Where are you?
I'll be right there.
You must be upset.
No way.
I feel relieved.
I can admit it now.
I don't know how to be a leader.
And people probably resented an old man like me taking over.
As each day passed, I started realizing that I didn't belong in this position.
But I couldn't leave.
I liked seeing your mother so proud.
I'm sorry, dad.
Stop that. Stop being so nice and apologizing all the time.
That's why people try to take advantage of you.
He's a pure, kind man.
I know, but even so, you shouldn't do things out of pity.
If I did truly pity him, I might have been tempted to say yes.
But he has so much more to offer than I do.
He's selfless and doesn't know how to hate.
And his mother will do anything for him, though her methods are questionable.
It's true. I overreacted out of anger.
But don't look down on her too much.
Parents with sick children see and hear nothing other than their children.
- I understand. - And Eun-young?
Let's not tell your mother all this.
It'll just upset her.
You've had too much already.
It's fine.
I have to go back to work.
You do?
Guess I should do what you tell me.
- How much do I owe? - I'll pay.
Stop right there. I can handle this.
- But dad... - How much?
You're back for good?
No more disappearing again?
- Hello? - It's me.
- Where are you? - Heading back to work.
You free after work?
Yeah, I am.
Then I'll pick you up later.
Okay.
But this filthy thing you gave us. But not this cursed thing.
The sight of it makes me sick.
I say no to every last bit of your money.
So back off!
You don't need my money?
