- What's that? - Hyeong-woo and Seo Eun-young...
cannot marry.
Follow me.
Does Hyeong-woo need your permission to marry?
I'm his older brother.
Fine. What's your reason?
You must have a reason.
Do you agree with your mother that Hyeong-woo should marry a crook
and ruin his life?
- That's not it at all. - Then explain yourself.
She ran away once from the engagement party already.
She's too much trouble for someone you're buying with money.
You're one to talk about marriages bought with money.
- Ma'am. - Why?
You're gonna pretend yours wasn't?
- That's an entirely different matter. - Sure, it's different.
You married just for money, but Hyeong-woo loves Eun-young.
More than you can ever imagine.
Run along if that's all.
No, I still have more to say.
There's something you need to know about her.
Did Hyeong-woo's mother go somewhere?
She's not in her room? President Kang's car is outside.
Maybe they're in the study?
Let me ask again. What is it I need to know about her?
That's what I thought. You're dismissed.
She...
had a child before.
I was afraid it would shock you, but I thought you had a right to know.
You did a background check on her?
I confirmed this fact myself.
What a deal-breaker.
Yes. She isn't right for Hyeong-woo.
What are you trying to pull!
Ma'am
I paid for 5 years of studying abroad and this is what you show me?
Hyeong-woo's my only brother.
I can't allow that lying, conniving woman to join our family as his wife.
Who says she lied?
What?
- Then she... - That's right.
I knew from the start.
And yet you...
I liked her better for it.
At least I know she's upfront, unlike you.
What about the guy?
The baby's father?
Apparently he died. 5 years ago.
Out of my sight. Now.
Eun-young.
Hyeong-woo ate half his dinner and his fever's fading.
That's good to hear. You should eat, too.
I will. Would you like to join us?
I already ate.
Goodbye then.
Leave.
Eun-young?
Hyeong-woo said he wanted some milk. I'll go buy some.
Let go!
Would you rather we talked here?
How dare you...
Of all the...
Don't you feel ashamed to our child?
Don't look at me like that. You made me do it.
No, your fear made you do it.
Fear that I might tell the truth.
Fear that you'd lose everything.
But you know what?
I already lost everything, and I have nothing else to lose.
This marriage will pull me out of my rut.
You're not in your right mind!
You're gonna hit the point of no return.
It'll be too late then.
Wow, thanks.
You're so worked up over me.
But guess what?
You're the one beyond return.
Fine, but what about Hyeong-woo?
You'll be tricking him for the rest of his life!
That's none of your business. Not like you care for him much.
You've changed so much.
I didn't change. You just didn't know the real me.
Just like I didn't know you.
Please just eat your meals and rest so I don't have to come running again.
Don't wanna be nagged, eh?
Good morning!
Maybe for you. Why are you so late?
Morning traffic's a horror.
Did you make breakfast for your sister?
- She's not home. - Where'd she go?
I told her to stay home.
Aren't you late? I'll walk you out.
Huh? I'm off then. Hold up, stop pushing. I'm going!
Spill it. Something happen to your sister?
Last night she went to the chairwoman's house.
Why?
Don't know the details, but she went to nurse the sick son.
So he fell sick, did he?
I'm not surprised. It was too much even for a normal person.
I'm more shocked now. I thought you'd go charging to get her.
She was the one who messed up. She needs to make up for it.
Truthfully, aren't you a little bit disappointed it fell through?
- Say what? - Come on.
We're gonna lose the apartment and the sauna.
It's one thing to have nothing, but to have it and then lose it all?
You little...
- Why'd you hit me? - Stop babbling and look after your father.
Just cause I hit the spot. Psh!
You overheard everything?
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
I understand. He's Hyeong-woo's brother.
He's against the marriage because of me, not you.
I can't explain it right now.
But he has a deep grudge against me.
You don't have to explain.
I'm here because Hyeong-woo's sick. I don't want to think beyond that.
Thanks.
Why'd you turn it off? I was listening.
I was getting sleepy. Ravel's music puts me to sleep.
You just don't get classical music, that's all.
That's true. Have some tea.
Smells good.
Mother, if Jeong-woo were to cheat on me whose side would you take?
- Oh no! - Hot, hot!
Are you okay?
Why? Is he cheating? Did you find evidence?
No. I said "if."
Why're you...? Of course I'll take your side.
Really?
Of course. You're my daughter-in-law.
I won't let some other tramp seduce him and ruin his life!
How dare she seduce a taken man!
Why're you laughing?
I'm glad to hear you'll take my side.
That's all? You weren't thinking of me, were you?
Why would I?
Never mind.
Hey, Ju-young, hold on a sec.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
What do you have?
Nothing in particular to report, but I did find a tollgate receipt in the car.
Dated when?
The Yeoju tollgate, December 11th.
Got it.
December 11th?
I'm going to Japan.
I should've told you sooner but It was scheduled suddenly.
This is the Yeoju Real Estate Agency.
I'm interested in buying a house.
No, I'm going to use it as a weekend getaway.
Anything in Yeoju?
You are good, too.
You eat well and take your medicine well.
I'm not. I did you wrong.
You are good because you keep your promises.
Hyeong-woo, how are you feeling?
Hyeong-woo is not sick.
Thanks for all your trouble.
I have to run some errands. Will you be okay here?
Yes, don't worry.
And you like being with Eun-young more than me, right?
Yup.
Didn't even hesitate.
Whoa, you're dressed to kill. Who're you gonna stomp on today?
So immature. I won't be late. Take care of Hyeong-woo.
Don't worry about a thing.
- Bye then. - Goodbye.
Role-playing as the daughter-in-law, eh?
I know what you're thinking, but I'm only staying until he's better.
You'll have to put up with me until then.
This isn't going to eventually lead to marriage?
- That won't happen. - Is that a promise?
Yes.
Fine, I'll believe you one last time.
I'll leave my brother in your hands, Nurse Seo.
- And the house? - I took care of it.
To the office?
No. You know where Eun-young's mother works?
- Yes, ma'am. - Take me there.
- Lady, more radish here! - Coming, coming.
- Ugh, just look at my sweater! - I'm so sorry.
Little boy, don't spray water everywhere.
What the... look here, lady. That was your fault, not his.
What are you talking about? Don't you see the water everywhere?
I can't believe this!
I'm so sorry, ma'am. We'll pay for your dry cleaning.
We need to talk.
- Clean this up. - Coming.
Seriously!
You should've apologized. Why are you fighting with a customer?
That wasn't my fault.
We won't be needing you anymore.
What?
Yesterday was your first day and you skipped work.
I told you I had an emergency.
I can't believe you, Mrs. Moon.
I mean, I wanna help you, but it's not working out.
Besides, I heard your daughter's marrying into a rich family.
- But... - Welcome.
- How did you find me? - Chairwoman Shin is waiting outside.
She is?
It's huge!
I had them pay special attention to the interior design. Do you like it?
It's great.
But this has nothing to do with me.
I renovated it for you.
I'm grateful, but the wedding's off. This won't change anything.
I think we were meant to meet, even if we don't become in-laws.
I'd lose out if I just sold the place. I need someone trustworthy in charge.
The marriage aside, please be the manager.
Me... manager? Oh, I couldn't!
How could I?
I really want you to. Please reconsider.
But even so... oh dear...
This is the place.
The owner's a guy from Seoul who put it on the market after renovating it.
It's in perfect shape.
- You sure there are no defects? - Of course not.
If he weren't so pressed for money, you'd never buy it at this price.
- Mind if I look around? - Go ahead. Go on inside.
You should've told me sooner.
It was scheduled suddenly. Besides, it's only one night.
Japan, right? You going with the team in charge?
No, by myself.
What do you think?
I like it. I'll take it.
Come in.
- Did you call for me? - Yeah.
I have an errand for you.
Rumor has it the vice-president of Dodo Corp. has a Korean wife.
Which means his in-laws are in Korea. I want you to find out about them.
Jeong-woo... I mean, President Kang.
You haven't given up on that project?
I can't give up on my first project.
The situation's real bad.
- What do you mean? - The thing is...
The rumors are flying that you're going to be replaced by Manager Han.
Stop listening to office gossip and just do what I tell you.
Alright.
Sir, it's Jeong-woo.
Why'd you call?
I have something I want to discuss with you.
What about?
I ran into roadblock in forming the business partnership with Dodo Corp.
You're not the strong-willed person I thought you were.
I helped you into that position, but you need to fight to keep it yourself.
I'm staying out of all business matters.
Look, I have a guest over. I'll talk to you later.
But father, sir...
Hello, this is Kang Jeong-woo.
This is the Yeoju Real Estate Agency. The house has a buyer.
Is that so?
I thought it would take a while. Thank you for your work.
If I had known it would sell so quickly, I wouldn't have worried your wife so.
Come again?
My wife?
I talked with her yesterday. She didn't tell you?
I told her there were no buyers and it probably wouldn't sell easily.
- Stop by the nearest flower shop. - Yes, sir.
- I'm home. - What's that?
They were just so pretty.
Oh, how beautiful. Wow.
How unlike you to buy flowers. For me?
- Sure. - Yeah right.
Think I'm an idiot, do you?
They're clearly for you.
I've never gotten flowers from him before. I'm so nervous.
I heard women should be suspicious when men do uncharacteristic things
You do something wrong?
Of all the things to think.
How unromantic can you be? He'll be afraid to buy them in the future.
I was joking. Thank you.
- You're welcome. - I'll go find a vase.
(We need to talk.)
You stupid or what? Did you not hear a word I said before?
- Say what? - Doing unexpected things...
...is like publicly announcing I'm having an affair."
- I'm not having an affair. - Like hell you aren't.
Na-kyeong said something weird earlier.
Did you tell her I borrowed money?
Of course I didn't.
She asked me whose side I'd take if you cheated on her.
That's her way of warning me to keep you in line.
This isn't a laughing matter!
- Oh dear lord...! - Dinner is...
Mother, were you badmouthing me to Jeong-woo?
Of course not. You're just too perfect.
Dinner's ready. Come and eat.
Okay.
Look, I'll spend the night elsewhere. You try to make things work.
Deny everything! Got it?
Mother says she has to meet someone.
Eat without me. I had a late lunch.
Honey?
Sit with me while I eat?
I'm in the middle of a book. Don't clean up. The lady will.
- Hello? - This is the landlady in Oksu.
You came to see the room earlier, right?
Yes, I am.
What? You won't rent it out to me?
I'm really sorry.
But we didn't sign a contract or nothin'.
- Find another place... - But we were gonna move in two days...
Hello?
Me managing that sauna?
No, no way. It'll make Eun-young uncomfortable.
But she needs to hire someone anyway.
People are crazy about saunas. If I do this right, I can really...
Oh, you're home.
Huh? Yeah. When'd you get here.
Just now.
I thought you'd be working.
I quit.
You wouldn't believe how stuck-up the owner was being.
You fought with her?
Sort of. It works out for the best.
I'll get a new job after we move.
Mom, about that... We can't move this weekend.
You said you found a place.
There was a problem. I'll find a new place.
I knew it wouldn't be easy finding a place with almost no money.
You have to go back to work tomorrow.
I'll make it work.
Eun-young?
Saying no to one's graciousness isn't very polite either, right?
What are you trying to say?
Never mind. Go get changed.
What was that?
Anyway, I'm going to visit dad. Pack me up whatever I need to take.
You probably stayed up all night. I'll go.
I'm fine. I'll go rest there.
That poor thing.
- You're done eating? - Yeah.
Where you going?
I want to go read in the study. Unless you're going to use it.
Why don't you...
just scream at me and call me names like other women do.
Why would I do that? To such a perfect husband?
I'm sorry, Na-kyeong.
I messed up.
Messed up how?
Buying me the same necklace as your mistress?
Or buying a getaway house for her?
It was momentary lapse in judgment, and it's all over now.
You can like other women and make mistakes.
What makes me angry...
is that you forgot about me while you were meeting her.
I could never forget you.
Then you should've been more careful and not get caught by me.
I didn't try so hard because it wasn't very important.
It was just a game for me.
You put me through hell for days for that little game?
I'm sorry.
I was afraid.
That you'd love her more than me.
Afraid that if you found out I knew, you'd leave me and go to her.
I would never. I love you too much.
Forgive me, please.
It's really all over?
It is.
It'll never happen again. I swear.
What is it this time?
Where are you?
Me? I'm at Hyeong-woo's.
Get out now.
- I'm afraid I can't. - I'll ask you one last time.
Are you really going to marry Hyeong-woo?
- I believe I already answered that. - Well think about it again.
You keep this up and I don't know what I'll do.
You have something worse than using your dead son as an excuse?
Do your worst.
Sis, that you?
President Kang. What brings you here?
I have something important to say to Mr. Seo.
He's not in the condition right now...
Tell him to come in.
Dad!
You go get us some refreshments.
Alright.
What is it that's so important you need to tell me now?
It's about Eun-young.
