You're awake.
I guess I dozed off.
Are you surprised to see me? I was so tired I just fell asleep here.
The truth is, I lied to you.
I would sleep here at night and leave every morning before you woke.
We're married now. I'm your wife and you're my husband.
I'm sure it's all unfamiliar to you but married couples sleep in the same room.
No need to worry. We're just sharing a room.
We'll be together during the day like we've been doing.
And at night you'll sleep in the bed and I'll sleep down here.
I won't intrude on your space.
Mother, breakfast is ready.
Lady. Lady!
Yes, ma'am?
Go bring Hyeong-woo.
- I'll get him. - Go on, lady.
Sure.
Here.
Mother, you're hardly eating.
After all these years, you still mess up the soup?
I didn't cook the soup.
I thought I followed her instructions pretty well, but...
You need to match your tastes to ours. Learn to cook the way we like it.
Yes, ma'am.
Done already?
Lady, you'll be held responsible if she cooks like this again.
Please have some more.
I'm done.
Where has he gone so early in the morning?
Huh? What is all this?
- Mr. Seo, what brings you here. - H-hello, ma'am.
- Dad. - Hey.
I'm sorry for dropping by so early unannounced.
- Don't worry about it. Please sit. - Okay.
It isn't much but I brought some homemade acorn jelly.
Please accept it.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Ah, yes.
Say hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Father-in-law is very sick. That is why he is very angry.
Hyeong-woo.
I'm all better now. How are you doing?
Hyeong-woo is very well.
Shin-woo, take him upstairs. Eun-young, get us some tea.
Yes, mother.
Alright.
- Here. - Thanks.
Join us for some tea.
No, no, don't. I have something to say to you, Chairwoman Shin.
Go on in.
Dad...
We'll call you when we're done.
Okay, mother.
Go on.
- Have some tea. - Sure.
- I imagine you're quite upset with me. - No, not at all.
If this is my daughter's fate, then so be it.
Not like we can return anything or take her back.
Besides, this was her decision. I can only hope she'll be happy.
- Thank you for being so open-minded. - I try.
Whatever happened in the past, let's put it behind us.
All I ask of you is that you look upon Eun-young favorably.
I already do. She's so honest and well-mannered.
Things have really changed around here, thanks to her.
I don't know what to say. I'm just really glad to hear that.
Also... I wanted the opportunity to thank you .
For the apartment and the sauna that you gave to us.
That's good to hear.
In return, I signed a contract saying that I swear to pay it back before I die.
Please don't. It's not necessary.
But it is. This is the only way I can accept your gifts.
Please... let me work this ol' body and pay back every cent.
I understand. Do as you wish.
- Mother, you tangled up yet? - Ow, ow.
You totally broke my concentration.
Take it easy. You don't want to hurt yourself.
Sweetie, how else do you think I keep this figure of mine?
Point taken.
Where are you going?
To meet a friend.
I wanted us to go to the hair salon. You've been going out a lot these days.
I'm sorry. Let's go tomorrow.
Fine. Come home early.
I will.
Whoa, it's cold. Go in.
- I'll catch a taxi for you. - I tell you, I'm fine.
I'm just really relieved to see that the chairwoman really seems to like you.
She does.
You've been through a lot, all because of me.
Not at all.
Don't you forget that I'll always be here for you.
Call me whenever you need me.
I will.
Take your meds and don't forget about your routine check-ups.
I won't. Go on in.
Thank you.
For what?
He left in good spirits.
Well, isn't that nice?
Something up?
Someone wrote an article online about Hyeong-woo.
<"The chairwoman's son is allowed to get away with thievery?">
<Employee unfairly fired to hide the secret about her son>
Mother, is something wrong?
Take a look at this. See what is it you did.
What do you mean there are articles?
The fired employee wrote about it online and it led to these articles.
It's being read everywhere.
- What is it? - The chairwoman is on the line.
I'll take it.
You can leave.
Hello. Yes, ma'am.
Come right now? I'll be right there.
Oh!
You didn't leave for work?
Why so surprised? You do something wrong?
Are you mad? I was gonna call, but...
- You know my bud Sun-mi? - Sure I do.
Sun-mi tell you to go to a motel with a strange man?
- How'd you know? - It made the headlines, you tramp!
You little...! How dare you shame me? How dare you do this to your parents?
Dad.
When'd you come home? I didn't hear you come in.
Both of you sit down.
Yell if you're gonna already. I hate the suspense.
Don't look at me like that. I didn't want this kind of daughter either.
- Mom! - Shut it.
- I can't go out for the shame. - Pipe down.
What's the problem? I'll just marry him.
Come again?
Did he propose?
Yeah.
So... what does he do for a living?
What does his family do? Does he have any kids?
- How much does he make? - Mom..!
Bo-young, bring him here at once. We'll talk after we meet him.
You sure you didn't dream it all up?
Of course not.
Whoever he is, I'm sure he's better than Ju Hong-jin.
You idiot. Did you really have to go to a motel in the neighborhood?
Sheesh.
What now?
She's in the study. Um, Jeong-woo?
- Yes...? - Come in already.
Coming.
- I'm really sorry... - Block it.
Excuse me?
The article, the rumors at work... Put a stop to it all.
I... don't think it'll be that easy.
You should have thought about the repercussions before you fired her!
I'm sorry.
Do whatever it takes to turn the employees' attention elsewhere.
An event, bonuses, whatever.
I understand.
And demand a correction in terms of the article.
A correction?
Otherwise, we'll sue the reporter and the employee for libel.
For calling my son a disabled thief.
But... Hyeong-woo is...
He's what?
Never mind.
I'll do as you say.
Waiting for me?
I have to ask you.
What is it?
How did this happen?
The jewelry employee was fired.
So she wrote about it with malice online and a reporter picked up on it.
Why was she fired? Did mother...?
No, I made the decision.
It was our mistake.
- I know. - You know...
and yet you fired her to hide the truth? Is this what people with power are like?
That's right.
We're capable of far worse.
So wake up and smell the coffee.
I'll take care of everything. Don't worry.
I won't.
Hey.
Got Jeong-woo under your thumb, too?
Talented, aren't we?
It's me.
Find the fired Ms. Ham and contact her immediately.
FInd out where she lives. Bye.
Give it here.
You moving in?
I brought things you need. It was so heavy.
What did you bring?
I'll show you.
Matching cups.
And... matching slippers.
And then there's matching tee shirts.
Adorable, huh?
Oh, I nearly forgot! Matching baseball caps.
And we can't forget the matching toothbrushes.
And...
You're like this unmarried old woman with no dating experience.
I'm not old or unmarried but the no dating experience part is right.
The man I've always loved ran away because he was so afraid of my father.
My first husband was in love with someone else.
And my current husband...
he's not into things like dating, if you catch my drift.
Wipe away that look of pity. I can always start dating now.
Though I guess my husband would call it "cheating."
So let's get this straight.
I don't have a say in this matter?
Absolutely no say.
Looks good on you!
<"The chairwoman's son is allowed to get away with thievery?">
Come in. Hello, lady.
Hyeong-woo, your clothes and shoes are here.
Let me bring them up.
No, he has to go pick out what he wants.
This is the F/W collection of the brand you like.
I brought a lot of knitted clothes that'll be good for the cold weather.
Mostly made from cashmere imported from Italy.
Hyeong-woo, nothing strikes your fancy?
Go get us some tea.
Yes, mother.
Oh, I like this one. What do you think?
Okay.
About time for a haircut, too.
Let's see now.
What do you think?
Are you the one getting married?
I'm dressed to impress my future son-in-law.
These days the mother represents the daughter.
I wonder what he's like.
She's been talking big so he must be better than that loser.
Loser?
Your ex-son-in-law, Ju Hong-jin. Just the thought of him...
They're here!
- Why alone? Where's the guy? - Mom...
Oh, right, right.
Mom, dad, don't be too surprised. Come in!
So... have you two been well?
You...
- Loser! - Mom.
Get out. How dare you! Out!
- Honey... - I said, out! Now! Now!
Father! Wait, mother!
Please calm down. Violence is bad.
Mom, don't hit my pooky!
What? Pooky? You two are divorced!
We're not officially divorced.
Come again?
Technically we're still married.
That we are. By law.
Mom, dad. I'll settle with him and try to fix him.
A new guy would be great but it's not the same thing.
- Give us your permission. - Permission.
Oh my goodness...
Hi, dad.
I was a little busy.
Is that so? Jeong-woo can handle it.
I'll watch out for him. Bye.
His voice is as loud as ever.
Yeah, loud enough to make it seem like he's here in person.
I'm glad.
You still resent my father?
He clothed me, gave me allowance, and sent me to school.
How can I resent him?
If... it weren't for my father, would we have gotten married?
No.
You would never marry me, regardless of your father
Why not?
You really don't know?
You're right. I wouldn't marry you.
Why would I want you as family? I'd rather keep you as my lover.
Go home.
- You put all his clothes away? - Yes.
Does that personal shopper always come by like this?
She does. The chairwoman is picky about Hyeong-woo's clothes.
She dresses him in the best.
Why won't she take him out to buy his clothes?
Considering how he is, she doesn't like to take him out to crowded places.
A little extreme, isn't she?
What if he needs something?
Everything he could possible need is delivered right to our home.
Even a lot of the neighbors have never seen him before.
No way.
How can they see him when he only leaves to go to the hospital,
Right now she's cutting his hair because he doesn't like being touched by others.
What a nice haircut. You look very handsome.
You have nice hair, too.
My hair? I didn't get a haircut.
Why do you have this?
It's for me?
Yes.
But I can't accept it.
This hair clip belongs to someone else. I can't accept it.
The department store is Hyeong-woo's. So the hair clip is also Hyeong-woo's.
No, you're wrong.
Both the department store and the hair clip are not yours.
Something is yours after you've paid for it with money.
Do you want to be misunderstood again?
I don't need things like this.
But I'll accept your feelings. Thank you.
- You came home early today? - I did.
You're late.
Sorry. I'll try to be here when you come home.
Don't we need to talk?
You need to say something to me?
I don't quite remember...
but I think I wronged you.
Yes, you did wrong me.
Sorry.
But that's about it.
We'll be fine as a couple, and nothing has to change.
Mind if I go change?
Go ahead.
Time for bed, Hyeong-woo. Let's get into your jammies.
For me?
Taking without paying is thievery.
Hyeong-woo is not a thief.
What... did you say?
This is yours.
Is it not mine. You are wrong, mom.
- Hyeong-woo... - You stay quiet.
I'm wrong?
I never lie to you.
The department store is not Hyeong-woo's.
The hair clip is not Hyeong-woo's. You are wrong, mom.
He needs to learn right from wrong.
I'm wrong, am I?
What a great thing to teach him.
The department store is not Hyeong-woo's.
The hair clip is not Hyeong-woo's. You are wrong, mom.
The world is a lot more complicated than the newspapers let on.
More than you can ever imagine.
But let's not be intimidated. I will help you face the world.
Come in.
Good morning.
A great morning, thanks to you.
I have something to say.
It's about Hyeong-woo.
Sit.
Please allow him to go outside.
You want to make things worse for him?
I'm his wife, mother.
So?
My husband can't choose his own food, shave or put on lotion on his own.
He's been doing fine until now.
He gets lost every time he goes out.
He's never seen his neighbors and doesn't know where the local mart is.
What's your point?
You saying that I was wrong?
Starting today, don't interfere in his life.
Mother.
He was just fine until he met you.
He'd never once objected to anything I said.
No more. I won't forgive you if you change him.
Do you understand?
No, I don't understand.
- I... - And another thing.
This is the last time I'll listen to you.
I won't have you talking back to me.
You're dismissed.
Why'd both my daughters... end up this way...
Ugh, those fools...
Hello?
Yes, this is Na Jin-sun.
This is the Children's Home of Love in Cheonan.
An orphanage?
If you're asking for donations, we're in no state to...
That's not why I called.
By any chance did you put up a baby boy for adoption 5 years ago?
Hello?
What...
did... what did you say?
His name is Bi-an, and he's now 6. Do you know who I'm talking about?
