(Episode 64) What are you doing?
Don't come any closer.
Where's your cockiness now?
Why are you so scared?
Come on. Come.
Help!
Get in!
Help!
Get in. Get in.
Bom!
Bom.
Ms. Choi.
Don't touch my sister.
What?
You two are sisters?
Don't touch my sister.
Get off me.
Are you hurt?
Let me see.
Are you hurt?
Choi Aran,
I'm not done with you yet.
Brace yourself.
Where do you think you're going?
Hand over the voice recorder.
Are you out of your mind?
What if he drove you into the water?
What did you do?
Why were you so stupid?
Be quiet.
This is all your fault.
I wonder if you know it was Ms. Choi Aran who
stole the restored wine file.
A corporate scandal of this scale
is bound to get the press interested.
What are you talking about?
Listen.
You can be charged
for spreading misinformation.
If you don't believe me,
ask Ms. Bae's two daughters.
Hey.
Hello?
Where's Ms. Choi?
Let me see that cut.
You're pestering me.
Stop following me around.
Choi Aran,
did you steal the restored wine file?
What are you talking about?
That issue was resolved
and we've moved on, haven't we?
We just a call at the president's office.
It sounded like an outright lie, but the man said
you were behind it.
No. Of course not.
Why would I have done such a thing?
Be truthful, Ms. Choi.
She's being blackmailed by a shady character.
Blackmail?
There were rumors about that file.
He thinks he can extort the head of the team.
I'm going to order a reinvestigation.
If you were involved in any way,
I'll never forgive you.
Why did you cover for me?
You're my sister for better or for worse.
Rumor has it that it was Ms. Choi Aran
who stole the restored wine file.
Maybe she did it knowing Bom was her sister.
No way.
I think my hunch is right.
Do you know what happens if you're caught
spreading unsubstantiated rumors?
You will be held accountable.

I saved this from your car when
you got into that accident.
I didn't know things would get out of hand.
I don't know what to do.
What do I do, Mr. An?
You have no choice but to lie to Ms. Bae.
Be nice to Bom for now so you don't get on
Ms. Bae's nerves.
You can't keep disappointing her, especially
with the upcoming promotion announcements.
Thank you.
I have complete faith in you.
Sure.
This is our department's business proposal.
Given Ms. Bae's order,
please do the presentation
by drawing on your competencies.
But you worked on this for a very long time.
It's the president's special request.
She must have high hopes for you.
I'll help.
Let's do it together.
You're a quick learner,
so you'll do great.
Oh, my goodness.
You've finally come to visit us, Bom.
Hello, Jeonggi.
- Hello. / - Goodness me.
We're here to take grandma home.
That's right. It's only right for my son
and the kids to come and get me.
See?
What did I tell you?
I told you my being here
would make this marriage plan work.
You were right.
Bom, your grandma was waiting
to tell you something.
You now have her blessing
to stop hiding your feelings
for Taeho.
Geez.
Mom, let's go.
Without you at the house, Bom says
the house is empty and
doesn't feel like home.
That's right, grandma.
Come with us.
And I'm not getting married.
I only just found you.
I want to spend quality time with you.
Why would I get married?
Look at how sweet she is.
Yes, my lamb.
I want to spend a lot of time with you too.
Ma'am, you must not lose focus.
You shouldn't let
the young ones weaken your resolve.
Let's get going, grandma.
What are you doing in someone else's house?
Do you really think Ms. Yun cares about you?
She's just buttering you up to try to get
her son together with Bom.
Jia, mind your manners.
What's wrong with that?
What she wants is what I want too.
Nothing would make me happier to see you
with her elder son.
It's my wish.
Bom, you heard what your grandma said, right?
Jeonggi, did you hear your mother?
It's what your matriarch really wants.
Who is to defy her?
What do you think?
Don't I look silly?
Oh, my goodness.
Of course you don't.
Oh, wow.
Why do you only wear shapeless pants?
You're so slim and
have great legs.
You'd win if you entered
a beauty pageant for senior citizens.
You saw, right?
Bom came to your house
because I'm staying with you.
I know.
I can't wait for Bom to be my daughter-in-law.
Really?
I'll do my part in return for this outfit.
Lead the way.
Pardon?
Let's go to my daughter-in-law and work it out.
Seonyeong.
Please stop imposing on Mr. An and his family
and come home.
You don't want me back.
Ms. Yun is so sweet and respectful
of her elders that
my hair stopped graying.
Oh, right.
And she got me this entire outfit.
I took her out shopping.
I'm sorry to keep imposing.
How can you say that
with me sitting right here?
Imposing?
And won't you ever apologize for
raising your voice at me?
I'm sorry.
Your talk of Taeho and Bom made me
uneasy.
Why did it make you uneasy?
I only have two goals.
First, for you to respect your elders.
Second, for Bom to marry their elder son.
Ma'am,
we've decided not to discuss that for now.
What?
Gilsu, what are you talking about?
Your girls are of marrying age and getting older.
It doesn't matter that Bom's younger.
Just marry off whoever
finds her soulmate first.
Mother, this is very unsettling.
Why is it unsettling?
An elder's wish is based on years of wisdom.
I heard mom left.
She's saying at Taeho's.
Mom's something else.
I don't know why she's being so stubborn.
How can you two be so laid back
with mom gone?
Are you happy now that mom's
off your hands?
Jeongmi, how can you say that?
We all went several times to go and get her,
but she refused to return.
Really?
Are you sure you didn't lock the gate
as soon as she left?
Our poor mom.
I'll go and get her.
Mom, come stay with us.
I have Baedal wrapped around my pinky,
so no one will give you a hard time.
Enough with your big talk when
you're staying at your sister-in-law's
with a child from a previous marriage.
Worry about yourself.
Instead of thanking me for bringing her here
upon finding her outside with her suitcase,
everyone's just trying to snatch her away.
She couldn't even go into
your sister-in-law's tiny house you call home.
Ms. Yun, I know you're plotting to get
Taeho and Bom married through my mom.
Good heavens. Plotting?
Taeho's a very good catch for Bom,
don't you think?
I don't care to have him marry my niece
when he flits from one woman to another.
Watch it.
Have you lost it?
Watch what you say to your
niece's future mother-in-law.
What future mother-in-law?
Jeonggi and Gukhui won't let that happen.
Come with me, will you?
No. I'm not going!
Listen, Jeongmi,
how can a mother
leave her sick child
and go out at night?
I made sure Chisaem was asleep.
Why are you badgering me?
I'm not badgering you.
I'm telling you to take better care of your child.
For someone who remarried late in life,
you sure have no manners.
Midal, how can you be so offensive?
I have no manners?
What's with you two this time?
Darn it, Baedal.
Living here is driving me up the wall.
Let's move out right now.
We'll stay at my brother's if we have to.
Aren't you sick of talking about going there?
Fine. Go live with those
condescending rich people.
I'm not stopping you.
Jeongmi's belly will start swelling.
I'm worried she'll get sick
from worrying about me.
Yes. I should go and comfort her.
Let go.
Honey +,
stop talking back to Midal.
Let's live in peace.
What are you implying, Baedal?
Is it because of me that there's no peace here?
Why are you twisting what I said?
Oh, my goodness.
Listen, Jeongmi.
I've thought about it, and this won't do.
Stop droning on about leaving and just go.
I can't stand looking at you.
Listen, Ms. Lee.
You're really pushing it, aren't you?
How can you be so mean to
your pregnant sister-in-law?
Mom...
Mother...
Do you know how many times
I walked away in tears upon seeing
Jeongmi being harassed?
Even then, I prayed
things would get better for her,
but how can you be so mean to her
when she's carrying your brother's child?
How can you say I'm being mean to her?
Listen, Ms. Kim,
your family has been meaner to me.
This is so unfair and upsetting.
Geez.
$500,000?
You throw this at me
and demand that I never see my daughter?
If you're not happy with the amount,
tell me how much you want.
Look, do you think this is about the money?
You may have taken my daughter for now,
but I haven't given her up for good.
If you keep taking me for a pushover,
I can take my daughter back.
If you're a mother too,
you should stop confusing Bom.
Think about what Bom most needs right now.
It must be made clear to her
who her real family and where her real home is.
What? Real home? Real family?
Hearing you say that
makes me want to take my daughter back
from such a heartless woman such as yourself.
She acts like she's better than me,
but ultimately she's paying me
to cut all ties with my daughter.
Mom,
what brings you here?
Hey.
You wretched girl.
Why didn't you show up after
calling me to tell me
you got me a vest?
I was going to go right after work.
It's all just empty talk.
Your birth mother, the president of Punggildang,
offered me $500,000
to cut all ties with you.
Look.
What are you talking about?
Didn't you hear me?
She'll pay me $500,000 if I cut all ties with you.
Did you ask my mother
to cut all ties with me?
Ms. Oh,
there must've been a misunderstanding.
That...
What misunderstanding?
You came to my house with an attorney
and shoved this at me,
so why the about-face?
That's...
This isn't the place to discuss that.
I'll go see you in the near future.
Excuse me?
You were the one
who offered me money
to give up my daughter,
so why this sudden holier-than-thou act?
Excuse me.
Please see her out, Bom.
Wow. How scary.
She's so two-faced.
Mom, that's enough.
That woman is Bom's mom?
I feel so sorry for Bom.
She's ill-mannered and ignorant.
Bom must be torn between her two mothers.
I feel so bad for her.
What are you saying?
Watch it.
Let's go, mom.
How dare they!
- Come on. / - Let go.
Watch it.
This isn't the place to discuss that.
I'll go see you in the near future.
That woman is Bom's mom?
I feel so sorry for Bom.
Fine. I'm ignorant.
I'm not a rich, refined CEO.
But am I not allowed to be a mom
because I'm ignorant and poor?
Mom.
Huh? Why did you come to this dump?
I brought you the vest I got you.
You said your back gets cold
when you're at the pub,
so I got this for you.
Geez.
You got this cheap old thing as a gift?
Your birth mother was in a fancy suit
custom-made at a Gangnam boutique.
Why can't you get me something like that?
What is this?
Just wait.
When I get paid,
I'll get you a nice winter coat.
Your new family has more than enough money.
Why wait until you get paid?
You can get me a suit right now.
Stop it, mom.
Are you still upset over what happened?
Yes.
I regret not having taken
the $500,000.
No.
Go tell your mother
to add another $100,000 to it.
Tell her to go all out while she's at it.
Do you really mean that?
Of course.
You know how much I love money.
Why not
make a killing when I can?
You're so harsh, mom.
But...
How did she know red was my favorite color?
That girl...
It fits perfectly.
(I love you, mom)
That wretched girl...
I should be emotionally distancing myself,
so why is she doing this? Why?
I was agitated yesterday
and offended you.
No.
I was making excuses when I was a bad father.
I'm ashamed.
I spoke with Maru briefly,
but he was upset.
A faceless father showed up and
asked him to live with him.
How can he not be upset?
I apologize to you as well.
Dad.
Maru.
These are mom's things
that were in her office.
Why did you bring this?
You can see how mom lived.
After you two separated,
do you know how hard she had it?
She appeared as a successful businesswoman,
but she spent all her time
in a work suit at construction sites
to build up her firm and raise me.
Don't be like this to your father.
I don't know why you've come looking for me.
I considered you dead a long time ago.
Maru, don't be like this.
You left my mother and me.
I'd rather consider you dead.
What's the use in thinking about you?
And I don't get why you're seeing this man.
Do you consider this a chance to get rid of me?
What's gotten into you?
Why are you upsetting me by
saying things you don't mean?
I'm sorry.
I've done a lot of wrong.
I'm a terrible father.
Don't come looking for me again.
And if you're sorry for what you did to me,
I hope you live the rest of your life in regret.
I'm sorry.
I think what he said was directed at me.
I put Maru's mother through a lot.
He must resent me for it.
Maru, no matter what, I'll never go back
on my promise to your mother that
I'd raise you as my son.
From the moment you called me "dad"
to when your time here is up,
you know you're my son, right?
Yes.
It's been a long time since we had a drink.
Look at how tall you are.
It's so reassuring to have a son like you.
Once I return for good from the States,
I'll be your trusted drinking buddy.
Why are you here?
What business do you have here?
Why do you keep telling Maru to move out?
Jia, you are Jeonggi's daughter,
so it's right that you live with us,
but that's not the case with Maru.
And I can't stand seeing him cavorting
with my granddaughter.
Ms. Choi.
Why won't you leave me alone?
If you keep this up,
I won't sit back.
I'm tired of this.
Who are you?
Taeho.
And who are you?
It's nothing, Taeho.
Choi Aran, leave us.
You talk to me instead of
harassing a woman.
I have no desire to accept your request.
If you ever come see Ms. Choi Aran again,
I'll make you regret it.
Listen.
A gentleman like you shoudn't resort to threats.
I'm contacting the police if you keep this up.
Oh, really?
If you call the cops,
Choi Aran is done for too.
Just tell them to have the money ready.
I'll be coming for it soon.
Let it go.
Why you...
I always keep my word.
Walk away when I tell you to.
Stop being cocky
and just tell them to have my money ready.
It's that prim young lady's fault
for hiring someone like me.
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
Stop right there.
Set it up so that it appears Oh Bom
sold the restored wine file I stole.
Leave photographic evidence
of money being handed to Oh Bom.
Choi Aran, how could you?
That scumbag had this on him.
What you said is recorded on this.
So what?
Are you planning to corner me with that?
Choi Aran, is this all you amount to?
You're a good, competent person.
Why are you driving yourself to ruin?
It's none of your business.
I'm worried.
I'm scared something bad will happen to you.
You've already forsaken me,
so stop confusing me.
I've come to terms with our breakup,
so stop unsettling me.
Take this with you.
Did you hear about the latest promotions?
What's that got to with Gyeongu or me?
They never affect us.
Looks like Ms. Choi's been cast to the wayside.
According to the secretary's office,
the scale has tipped in Bom's favor.
Really?
I did suspect as much.
I feel bad that I'm nothing but trouble
for the family.
Why would you think that?
Is it because grandma left home?
Grandma has a short fuse
and is very fickle,
so don't worry.
And forget what happened with Ms. Lee.
Mom, I mean, Ms. Bae, why was I
the only one left out of the promotions?
When I was demoted last time,
I thought it unfair but kept my cool.
You should give me my old title back.
Should you be asking for a promotion now?
What else do I have but my work?
Will you really shut me out of the company?
If you care so much about the company,
why did you do such senseless things?
How am I supposed to trust you?
I don't know what this is about,
but I'm sure Aran meant well for the company.
Why don't you cut her some slack?
You shouldn't be defending her.
I won't sit back regarding my rightful promotion.
I'll make you regret that
you forsook me,
believing a blackmailer
without any proof.
Be that as it may,
how can you talk to your mother like that?
What happened at work anyway?
Mom's changed since Bom came back.
She doesn't want a stubborn daughter like me.
How can you say that?
Parents love all their children equally.
How can you accuse your mom of favoritism?
Then why is mom being so cruel to me?
I want to get along with Bom,
but with mom like this,
I can't help but harbor ill feelings toward Bom.
But you can't do that.
I trust you, don't I?
I know you're trying to move past
your misunderstandings with Bom
and warm up to her.
Can't you tell mom that?
All I want to do is work hard.
Don't you think you've been
too cold and harsh to Aran since Bom's return?
Aran's had it tough too because of us.
She needs to be comforted too.
You must engage her too if
you want our girls to get along.
I don't want to talk about this anymore.
You're really
cold and cruel sometimes.
Our daughters come before the company.
Why did Taeho have to give me this?
Does he want a pat on the back?
Set it up so that it appears Oh Bom
sold the restored wine file I stole.
Aran, what is that?
It's nothing.
It's not nothing.
Let me see that.
It's nothing.
Set it up so that it appears Oh Bom
sold the restored wine file I stole.
Leave photographic evidence
of money being handed to Oh Bom.
Are you really this twisted?
It's a misunderstanding.
That was fabricated.
I don't want another word out of you!
No matter what anyone said,
I thought you'd get along with Bom
because you're my daughter and her sister.
But you deceived your mom and me
and tried to get your little sister in trouble.
But...
I guess I don't have to lie to you anymore.
That's right.
All the incidents at work involving Bom
were my doing.
It was me who
broke the wine sample
and leaked the company file.
Aran!
Stop it.
I suppose you want me to leave this house.
Ms. Choi, why did you tell him?
Stay out of this.
This isn't your place to butt in.
Fine. Do what you will.
Leave if you want to.
Deal with the consequences of your actions.
Make good on your word that
you'd be held accountable.
How can you hurt your mom and me like this?
Apologize to mom and dad.
Not another word from you.
It's not over because I'm moving out.
I'm still your boss at work.
I'm protecting my position at Punggildang,
for which I've worked so hard.
No. My goal is the top seat at Punggildang,
and I'll make that happen.
I'm only leaving
to attain that goal.
We can't let Aran off the hook.
If she's out of control because of us,
it's our responsibility to teach her better.
Are you really leaving like this?
Leaving won't solve anything.
Apologize first.
If you leave,
returning won't be easy.
How can you leave like this?
What's the matter with you?
Don't stop her. Let her go.
I didn't move in here
for things to get like this.
Don't go.
You're happy to see me go, aren't you?
Is that what you really think?
How can you leave like this?
Enjoy your life here.
Aran.
Oh, no.
Oh, my goodness. What are you doing?
Hold still.
You can cry in front of me.
Do you know what I'm going through?
How can you know?
You're a man of mystery.
Get out.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
Don't ever show yourself here again!
Please forgive me.
Don't you say another word in front of me.
Not another peep from you.
Ms. Choi.
What's wrong?
Can't you talk?
What happened?
What's the matter?
