(Episode 85) Bom! Bom!
Oh, my goodness.
You poor thing.
CEO lady, I thought
you had sent her
on a luxurious overseas trip.
I didn't give her up
for her to live like this.
Bom, let's go home.
You can't even
take care of her.
Bom, come home with me, okay?
She's not even a mother.
She abandoned you because
she didn't want to raise you.
Watch what you say!
Good heavens.
Mom!
How dare she!
Why did you push my mom?
Bom.
Stop it.
Please don't be like this.
Bom, I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
Ow. Ow.
Ow, my tush.
You're not qualified to be a mother.
Your daughter's here in the dead of winter
while the rest of you live it up in your house.
Look at her hands.
Look. Her hands are frozen.
I was horrible.
This is all my fault.
At least you know.
Yes, this is all your fault.
You're not qualified to be a mother.
Why waste my breath?
Come. Let's go home.
I'm not going.
Why not?
Come on.
Come, you wretched girl.
Bom!
Good grief.
If it was unbearable,
you should've come back to me.
Why are you being pathetic in this dump?
How can I go back?
You caused me grief for 20 years.
Why are you acting bashful now?
Where are you taking her?
No.
Listen.
Money doesn't make you a better mother.
You can't drag her back
after putting her in this sorry state.
Let's go.
Bom.
What happened?
You said she went to France.
That's what I thought.
I thought she went on a trip overseas
because she had a lot on her mind.
How has Bom been getting by?
Good heavens. This poor thing
was living the hard life.
What happened, Bom?
But you even left a letter.
Aran and Mr. An said you were overseas,
so that's what we thought.
So that family had
completely forsaken her.
Do you know where Bom was?
In a dingy,
leaky rooftop apartment.
She was blowing into her tender hands,
doing laundry in ice water.
What are you talking about?
Shame on you.
If she was having a hard time adjusting,
you should have helped her.
How could you neglect her like this?
I wasn't there the whole time anyway.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to lie to you.
How tough it must have been for you
to lie that you were going overseas
and suffer so much hardship?
I'm not letting that birth mother of yours
take you away again.
Ms. Lee would have nothing to say if I had
given her the amount she asked for.
You can live here now.
Rich or poor,
one only eats three meals a day anyway.
Look at your sunken cheeks.
Don't exaggerate, mom.
Don't I look cute?
Good grief.
Bom.
Ms. Bae.
How dare you barge in here!
Listen.
Not everyone can be a mother.
Sharing blood
isn't all there is to it.
You have to be up for the task.
You're being unfair, Midal.
Gukhui did the best she could.
Why are you being so harsh
when it was Bom who didn't know
how lucky she had it?
You shouldn't talk like that, Midal.
Look at the trouble
you stirred.
This is for raising Bom.
Take this and come
to my office tomorrow,
and I'll give you whatever you ask.
Here.
What are you doing?
What is the meaning of this?
What do you take my mom for?
Take this and go.
Bom.
So that tiny thing
didn't go abroad but
had rented herself an apartment?
What am I going to do?
What am I going to do now?
Did that tiny thing Bom
rent that apartment to
live with that sorry nuisance?
Mom, stop it.
I think Gukhui needs to lie down.
Yes. You need to get some rest.
That's my room.
Shouldn't you go to Jeonggi's room?
Drink this and then rest.
Come on.
I don't want even a drop of water.
I'd rather wither away and die.
Please leave.
Don't be like this.
Why didn't Bom
come back here?
Why did she have to go over there?
Get out.
Come on, Jeonggi.
Nothing will get through to her right now.
Bom's probably the most upset at me.
Jeonggi, this won't work.
It's always cash for Midal.
This will only
make her more upset.
Jeongmi's not entirely wrong.
Midal didn't even bat an eye when
Gukhui offered her money earlier,
so this will probably fall way short.
This isn't the issue.
I must get Bom to come around.
What is this?
Why are you here?
Well, you see...
He's obviously here to see his daughter.
That's right, Midal.
He wants to work
through the misunderstanding with Bom.
Please, Ms. Lee.
Please let me speak with my daughter.
What is this stupid fruit basket for?
I have to talk to my daughter.
Please go.
I beg you.
She has nothing to say to you
and never wants to see you again.
- Mr. Choi. / - Bom.
Let's talk.
Why are you being unreasonable?
Get out.
I have nothing to say to you.
See? You heard, right?
Bom has nothing to say to you.
Um...
It's all my fault.
I was heartless.
Dad.
Don't look at him.
What did that family do when they took you?
They acted like they'd give you anything,
but they ended up pushing you away.
Get up, Jeonggi.
Geez, Jeonggi.
I know I don't have any excuses.
I told you to leave.
I cast away my own flesh and blood.
Listen, Mr. Choi,
even if you hang your head in shame,
you can't take Bom.
I'm not going.
The moment you told me to leave,
I decided I'd never return.
Bom.
I feel like I was abandoned twice.
The first time was an accident, right?
But this time, you purposefully forsook me.
Good grief.
Is your brother still upset?
Of course.
Bom was so mean to him.
Dried squid.
It's hot and chewy.
Dried squid for you.
Mother, have some dried squid.
I'm in no mood for
anything salty.
No. Take it away.
Nothing beats dried squid when you're angry.
Here, Jia.
I don't want any.
Why not? You love squid.
No, I don't.
I can't stand the smell.
Why are you being so fussy?
I'm fine even though I'm pregnant.
Leave her alone.
Her stomach must be messed up
from starving herself
to lose weight or whatever.
What am I going to do?
I've run out of lies to tell mom.
This is for the best.
At least we know Master Kim is safe and well.
If your mom brings up
the wine tainting incident,
tell her I made you
and you step back.
No.
I don't want you to suffer because of me.
Let's be cool-headed about this.
My father and I depend on you.
So even if I get beat up over this,
I will protect you.
Jia.
Where's Suho?
Are you really dating Suho?
Of course not.
They're probably just hanging out.
He's headed to Canada.
He's already left for the airport.
So come to your senses...
What?
What are you doing here?
I came to see Jia before
I leave for Canada.
She didn't answer my calls.
You were begging for Jia's hand in marriage.
Alas, they're sending you away.
I was going to break your legs
if you had ruined Jia's life.
Don't look back and just go.
Jia turned her phone off
to not hear from you.
We have enough to worry about here,
so we're going easy on you.
Let's get you out of here.
Please tell Jia that
I'll be back!
Come on. Go.
Suho.
I'm sorry.
Jia...
I came to
send you off.
Take care.
Go and study hard.
You came to tell me that?
Yes.
What?
You really must study hard, okay?
Bye.
Jia...
Fine. Go.
Get lost.
I'm not going. I can't go.
How can I leave you?
Why aren't you going?
Just go.
Jerk.
Now that Bom is back,
there's breakfast and
and it's like a home again.
Bom hasn't been here in so long.
How could you make her cook breakfast?
I made the egg soup because I wanted it.
Look at how sweet my Bom is.
When will you grow up?
Thank you for inviting us
to breakfast.
These looked fresh.
Thank you.
We'll have these for dessert.
Sit down.
Let's sit.
This really hits the spot.
Look at you two.
You're like siblings.
Like two peas in a pod.
That's right.
You two make a great pair.
What are you talking about?
All I said was that they're like siblings.
Look. They even look alike.
Two eyes, one nose, and one mouth.
And they're both always smiling.
They say married couples come to look alike,
but you guys look alike already.
What? Married couple?
What's the matter with you?
Your sister will be best off with
an older man who takes care of her.
Mom, why are you talking about marriage?
Ms. Lee.
Yes, that's right.
Bom's still young.
Marriage is a world away.
Let's eat. Let's eat.
Bom, you shouldn't be here like this.
I feel so comfortable
and at home here.
That's good.
But even if you live here,
I'd like you to go to work.
I heard your dream is making good wine.
You must
do so at Punggildang.
Taejun,
what are you saying to Bom?
I'll never send her back there again.
I know how you feel.
But I have Bom's best interest in mind.
As Bom's parents, shouldn't we
protect her and
help her get ahead in life?
You can't work elsewhere?
Of course you can.
You're so smart and capable.
But then again, Punggildang was your dream.
(Personnel Appointment)
Huh? Bom.
Why didn't you tell us about your business trip?
It was so tough here
while you were away.
You know about the tainted wine, right?
I'm sorry.
But that's been resolved.
And Ms. Choi has been
made division director,
so maybe it was for the best.
But how could Master Kim do such a thing?
Geez.
You said you'd never come back,
but you changed your mind?
I'm not surprised.
I'd like to know what
happened to Master Kim.
That's been resolved,
so let's not discuss it anymore.
I ask that you help and support your sister.
Just don't be a bother.
Thanks for coming back early
for my promotion ceremony.
Nothing makes me happier than
to be congratulated by you.
Wow.
You two are such loving sisters.
Did Gukhui really sleep here?
She's like a ghost, leaving
no trace of warmth behind.
Darn it.
I can't get a hold of her.
Maybe you shouldn't have taken her room.
What are you talking about?
It's only right that I use the biggest room.
Gukhui's probably gone away to
a nice place to relax.
She must have gone away to take her mind off
Bom's refusal to come home.
Don't worry.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What are you doing, mom?
This must be her jewelry box.
Oh, my.
Oh, wow. How amazing.
Should we be doing this
without Gukhui's permission?
See?
She left her jewels here,
which means she hasn't moved out.
If we sell this,
we could get Jeonggi two photo studios.
Mom.
What are you doing?
What?
I'm just looking at my daughter-in-law's things.
What a sight
for sore eyes.
Wait. This...
I got this for her when you got married.
Yes.
That's right.
So this started it all.
This multiplied into all of this.
So she has all this thanks to your gift?
Mr. An.
Hi, Bom.
I heard you returned to work.
I was planning to
come see you after work if you hadn't.
I'm so relieved.
Sorry to have worried you.
I promise I won't cause you any more grief.
And I'll catch up on my work as well.
Let me know if you change your mind about
the sommelier program in France.
It's too good an opportunity to miss.
Thank you for your concern.
Excuse me.
I thought she was gone.
What am I to do now that
she's returned?
Yes, Ms. Bae.
Bom clocked in today.
I'm so thrilled that she's back.
Cancel Aran's promotion ceremony.
Father.
Cancel the ceremony?
Ms. Bae.
Is it mom?
May I speak with her?
Ms. Bae,
if you want to nullify my promotion,
come and do it yourself.
I won't give up as I must
protect you and Taeho.
Aran.
Aran, what are you thinking?
Why are you doing this to me?
(Ms. Choi Aran's Promotion Ceremony &)
(Employee of the Month Award Ceremony)
Ms. Choi Aran of Development Support will
be officially appointed as division director.
Managing Director Jeong Geonsu
will stand in for President Bae Gukhui.
(Certificate of Appointment)
This isn't right.
They can't frame Master Kim and
say the situation has been diffused.
It's not over yet.
We will now announce employee of the month.
Ms. Choi Aran of Development Support.
I'm sorry.
Director Choi Aran, please take the stage.
Wow. Congratulations.
Two wins.
The said employee posted
stellar performance records and
contributed to the company's growth.
She is diligent and responsible,
making her an inspiration to other employees.
She is thus awarded this plaque
as employee of the month.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Stupid traffic jam. I'm going to miss
Aran's promotion ceremony.
Excuse me.
Where's Ms. Choi Aran's promotion ceremony?
Third-floor conference room.
Third-floor conference room?
Thank you.
Where am I?
Where is this conference room?
Wow. You nabbed two wins today.
Congratulations.
What if my mom nullifies
my promotion tomorrow?
If she gets on my case about the tainted wine...
Don't worry.
I have a plan.
And why is Bom back at work anyway?
Why is she back here when
she won't return home?
What if Bom regains
her childhood memories?
What if she remembers
that your father
abandoned her 20 years ago?
Gilsu abandoned Bom?
What is Aran saying?
Why would my husband abandon Bom?
Seonyeong.
Gilsu.
Master Kim's number is no longer in service.
And the Audit Team has closed the case.
It's all very fishy.
Bom,
you should lay off your wine lab work
for the time being.
Pardon?
You were in charge when
that unsavory incident occurred.
As division director, I find it problematic.
Find something easier to do.
That will give me some relief.
So you plotted the whole thing to oust Bom
from the wine lab?
What are you talking about?
I'm just trying to protect her.
Geez.
I don't know what I can do for you guys
when you misconstrue my good intentions.
Good intentions?
And as for Master Kim...
Stop it, Maru.
I must talk to Ms. Choi in private.
See you later.
Talk to me about what?
I won't say you can't deceive yourself.
Because that's what you're doing.
But you can't deceive me.
I won't let this go.
What do you know anyway?
And what can you do?
Listen carefully.
You heard nothing.
I'll shoulder everything.
So forget what you heard today.
Okay, Gilsu.
I'll do as you say.
I didn't abandon Bom on purpose.
I was out of it because we needed money
for your father's surgery.
So I tried to sell Ms. Bae's wine recipes,
but that child...
Bom caught on to it,
so I had to do something.
That's why I abandoned her.
No. I lost her and then
didn't look for her.
Stop it. Stop it, Gilsu.
That's right. He didn't abandon her.
My husband didn't abandon her.
He didn't do it.
Maru.
Stop right there.
Wait.
What?
What is it?
Listen carefully to what I have to say.
Don't trust anyone.
Listen only to me.
Hey, we need to talk.
Ms. Yun.
What are you going to tell her?
You stay out of it.
This is between Bom and me.
I have something to tell Ms. Yun too.
It's okay.
Don't listen to anything that kid says.
Even if you do, don't believe any of it.
That nobody is
making up stories to
make his move on you
given who your mother is.
Got it?
That's what you wanted to say to me?
Don't talk back
to your elder.
You're stirring trouble
because you refuse to listen.
You can't follow me.
Stay here. Stay here.
Here are Ms. Bae's recipes.
(Traditional Fermentation Methods)
You must hold your end of the deal.
Do you want ice cream, Paran?
Yes.
Mr. An.
- Go, go. / - Mr. An.
Mr. An.
He abandoned me.
Everything Maru says is a lie.
It's utter nonsense.
Understood?
Seonyeong would've found out sooner or later.
As long as Bom doesn't remember...
No. No way.
Where's Ms. Bae?
What about Mr. An?
I need to confirm something.
Confirm what?
It's come back to me. I remember now.
What's come back to you? What?
Calm down and tell us
what you remember.
Bom, stop right there.
No.
I'm sure it's not that.
I think I saw this notebook as a kid.
That's impossible.
Why?
Are your childhood memories coming back?
Why are you being so stubborn?
You're like a daughter to me.
It pains me to see you like this.
It's upsetting that although
you've finally returned to us,
you're not adjusting well.
Bom, are you okay? Bom.
Go. Stay over there.
Mr. An.
Are you okay?
I must catch him. I must.
Just let him go.
He'll hurt you.
This is why I told you to return home.
I can't watch over you 24/7.
No, that can't be.
That can't be.
There's no way.
Hey, did you tell Bom?
Where is she?
What did you do to her?
I can't get a hold of her.
None of what you heard today
is true.
Yes, it is.
I clearly heard Mr. An say
he abandoned Bom.
You love Bom.
So take my advice.
Bom's sister is my daughter-in-law.
If you don't keep your mouth shut,
you'll only stir trouble.
And if you do, how can
Bom's family let you marry Bom?
I only have your best interest at heart.
Hey. Hey!
Hey!
Have you seen Bom?
Did you also know how Bom
went missing?
What are you talking about?
Bom, welcome back.
Why are you always stirring trouble for us?
The family's going nuts because of you.
I have something to tell you.
Bom, why do you keep causing everyone grief?
I know now
how I went missing for 20 years.
Geez, Bom.
When will you get over it?
Enough.
Tell us. So?
What is it that you want to say?
No. Stop it.
Maru's mother
died at that construction site.
My husband also died in
an accident there.
So you knew?
But you're dating Maru anyway
when you know your dad died
trying to save his mother?
How can you
be with him despite knowing that?
Give me the notebook.
What for?
What are you doing?
What will you do with this anyway?
I just want to go away.
I'm scared.
Don't be.
It's all over if
she opens her mouth.
We'll talk some sense into her.
And if that doesn't work,
we'll make sure no one believes her.
