(Episode 87)
You're wrong.
What you've recalled never happened.
So lying was your plan?
No.
Let's say what you remembered did happen.
Aran will suffer.
What about her?
Then what about me who was abandoned?
What about my parents whom your dad deceived?
Why dig up what happened 20 years ago?
Stop it!
Bom!
Bom, please.
Otherwise, you'll suffer.
You'd better stop, Mr. An.
Stay out of this!
Bom.
Don't do this to Bom!
Punch me again. Go ahead!
Stop it.
I'll suffer?
Will you hurt me
in order to silence me?
So don't stir trouble for
our two families and just let it go.
Taeho.
What happened?
Nothing.
I just don't get it.
Why am I being castigated
for what you all did to me?
Did something happen?
What happened to Taeho's face?
Was it you?
Did you do this to Taeho?
He's the one
who's at fault.
This is what your father-in-law did.
He stooped this low
to hide what he did to me.
And you two are in cahoots with him,
trying to silence me about the past and
keeping Ms. Bae in the dark?
But the past is what caused this mess.
The older Mr. An is being blackmailed and
you two jeopardized
the company by tainting
Bom's wine to drive her out.
That's why I told you
to pretend you knew nothing.
Everything would be fine
if you just kept to yourself.
No. I won't do that anymore.
I'll see how this unfolds.
I must also think about what I will do.
Are you threatening us?
I don't want to stoop to your level.
I have something to tell you.
I couldn't find the right moment...
Taeho came to me and got down on his knees.
He said he made Aran add
artificial sweetener to the wine.
Pardon?
But I know very well
it was Aran's doing.
I'm so sorry.
I've failed as a mother.
Please don't say that.
Ms. Bae, we're family now.
We must work together
when problems arise.
When our children err,
we can chastise them
and set them on the right path.
Ms. Bae, I'll always be by your side
no matter what.
Let me shoulder all the problems
so you can have peace of mind.
Life is so...
It's just so tiring.
I feel like I'm walking a tightrope
every single day.
But who can I blame?
This is all my fault.
What are you doing?
Must you be doing that right now?
Mind your own business.
I'm just trying to get a wine recipe.
I should have just burned it.
Then I would've told Ms. Bae.
So keep your hands off this.
You've got to be kidding me.
How dare you talk to me that way!
What did I say?
Don't even raise your voice at Bom.
Where are you going, Maru?
Hey! Where are you going?
Ms. Bae,
I have something to tell you.
Bom...
Maru.
I'm very tired.
What's the matter with you?
What is it this time?
It's nothing.
Stop causing her grief over you and Bom.
I know you love Bom,
but be considerate of our parents' feeling.
I don't want to hear it.
It's not that.
It's something else.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
If this is exposed,
Bom will suffer the most.
Please, Maru.
Your late husband was very handsome.
Please go.
I still think that,
although it's not your fault,
there's no way we can be together.
Nothing is impossible has been my life motto.
I'm sure we can find a way to get past this.
Listen.
My husband died because of your ex-wife.
How will I explain marrying you to my late husband
when I see him in the afterlife?
How will we survive
if we go our separate ways like this?
Can you spend the rest of your life without me?
I can't live without you.
There's absolutely no way.
If this comes in the way of our love,
I'll go back in time if I must to make it right.
I'm begging you.
I can't live without her.
You haven't even known my mom for that long.
I feel shy telling you this,
but your mom and I have fallen
madly in love during our short...
Geez. You're making my skin crawl.
Just consider this
a sign from above
and move on.
No one can outdo Midal
when it comes to being stubborn.
No matter how much you plead with her,
she won't marry you since
she's put her foot down.
It's over.
My dad wasn't a good provider.
Mom, Bom, and
I always struggled financially.
But my dad was the kindest person ever.
He volunteered at
orphanages and nursing homes and
donated what little he had.
His lifelong goal was
to help people until there was no one
left to help in the world.
Why are you telling him that? Enough.
But my dad died because of your ex-wife.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
(Donation Pledge)
(Donor: Oh Yeongho)
($100,000)
Here.
It's not much.
Thank you.
Please put it to good use.
I'm telling you, he passed away last year.
How can a dead person make a donation?
Pardon? How much?
Yes. Okay.
Please use it for a good cause then.
- Mom. / - Midal.
How could this be?
Taejun.
Are you keeping something from me?
What would I keep from you?
Did you...
Midal, it's all my fault.
Why are you being like this?
I'm to blame for the pain you suffered in the past.
I'm also to blame for the pain you're in now.
It's also my fault that I won't
let you go despite your pain.
So please give me the chance
to thank you and make it up to you
for the rest of our lives.
Why are you doing this?
I'm sure your husband's in a good place.
I'll honor his passing every year.
He's the one who
left an amazing woman with me.
I just feel so sorry for him.
He was my first love,
so I feel I should be loyal.
And I feel guilty about being
happy here without him.
I know how you feel.
I really do.
Long live Korea.
Long live Midal.
Long live our family.
Hi, Bom.
You didn't go to work?
It's a holiday.
I used to come clean the pub on my days off.
How diligent of you.
You should be sleeping in
on a holiday.
Come on in.
I tried to mimic the moju you made for me
a while back.
Tell me what you think.
This early?
Why not?
We had this as a meal back in the day.
We'd take a break from
paving the dirt-covered Sinjak-ro
and down a cup of this
for a major energy boost.
Go ahead.
It'll chase away the blues.
Is something wrong?
Why the long face?
I'm upset.
It seems
everyone I trusted hates me
and is lying to me.
It turns out Mr. An,
whom I trusted and relied on,
purposefully abandoned me.
That's terrible.
Good grief.
In life, you reap
what you sow.
It must feel like the world's turned
against you, but just you wait.
You will be rewarded for
your good deeds
while scumbags like him will be punished.
Taejun.
Got it?
The poor thing has
no one closer to turn to.
I'm sorry.
I know it's uncomfortable for you here.
I'll talk to mom and
get you your room back.
She volunteered to give it back yesterday,
but alas...
I'd like to rest.
You look pale.
Are you unwell?
Do you know what your mother, Jeongmi, and Baedal
came and asked Mr. An?
What did they ask him?
I told Mr. An not to give them a franchise deal,
so tell them not to waste their time.
What a great world we live in to be able
to find storefronts in the comfort of our home.
How about this one?
This would be perfect for Jeonggi's studio.
Mom.
Jeongmi and Baedal!
Jeonggi, look.
How about a studio here?
What are you talking about?
You didn't go to Gukhui's office
and stir up trouble, did you?
Why can't you be more of a man?
You should push for your cause
when Gukhui
is weak and listless as she is now.
You're always worried about
what Gukhui will think.
Stop being a nuisance to Punggildang.
I'm ashamed enough as it is.
Your problem is that you're too nice.
What good is having family?
Jia!
Where are you going?
Huh?
Me? School?
Aren't you prepping for a dance contest?
But you've gained weight.
No, I haven't.
I'm just bloated from the rigorous training.
What?
What is it?
Move your hand.
Tada!
What do you think? It's Oinky's crib.
Wow, Suho.
I've decided to get my act together.
I'll be a good dad for Oinky's and your sake.
I asked as I was getting this crib,
and they said just the diapers and
formula alone cost $200 a month.
That's why I'm going to do lots of shows
and even do manual labor if I must.
How can you do manual labor?
Have you ever even done that before?
I'm sure it's doable.
I know I can do it.
I'll be doing it for you and our baby Oinky.
Stop it.
Aran.
Don't you have the day off?
You should be vacuuming and doing
housework on a day like today.
Where have you been
all morning anyway?
I wasn't out having fun.
I went to the office very early.
Are you asking for a pat on the back?
Your father-in-law and Taeho
are slaving away at the office
when everyone else is enjoying the holiday.
Do you think you're all that because you have
a tight grip on Punggildang?
I'm tired.
Please just get to the point.
Fine.
It seems there was a slight misunderstanding
between your sister and Gilsu way back when.
But don't you dare look down on
Gilsu and Taeho because of it.
If you're done,
I'm going to my room.
Hey. Hey.
Aran...
Iron all these.
Starch the collars and
iron these nice and crisp.
Mother, I...
Is this the dry cleaner's?
I need a few things ironed.
Please come now.
Grand City, apartment 104...
Hey.
What are you doing?
Why would I have brought these
to you if I wanted the dry cleaner to iron them?
I don't have the energy for this.
My head's about to explode
from dealing with father's mess.
Are you blackmailing me?
Whose fault is this?
This is all because your mom failed to
keep an eye on her young daughter and made
Gilsu slave away 24/7.
Stop it.
How can making excuses like that
do any good?
Are you lecturing me?
You never fail to talk back.
Mom, what are you doing?
Taeho.
Seonyeong, why are you yelling at her?
Enough already.
I was just trying to teach her a lesson.
What's with you two?
- Stop it. / - Wait.
- Enough. / - Geez.
Have some water and calm down.
Water isn't what I need right now.
Seonyeong...
Do you know how hard she's fighting for us?
She's stressed enough as it is.
Don't make it worse for her.
Aran is willing to lie to
her sister and mother for our sake.
Why can't you be more considerate?
No one has it tougher right now than her.
I know that already.
I think about getting down on
my knees to ask for her forgiveness.
But then I get so unbearably angry.
I do feel sorry for Aran,
but then I'm enraged
when I think about her mother.
Darn it.
Aran.
Come here.
What happened earlier...
I have a headache and need some fresh air.
I'll iron the shirts when I get back.
Okay.
I ended up rubbing salt in your wound
when I should have comforted you.
I'm so sorry.
It drags me down
when you lash out at me.
Even if we all stick together,
this crisis may be hard to overcome.
You shouldn't be so uncooperative.
I know. I know.
There's no excuse for what I did.
I'll do whatever you say.
Just don't do anything...
Right out of middle school,
I got a job at a garment factory.
I taught myself about
fashion there and won over
the fussy rich ladies of Cheongdam-dong.
Gilsu, who started as a porter
for your mother right out of
middle school, is now
the executive secretary of Punggildang.
And it's all thanks to my hard work.
I know.
You're a devoted and resourceful wife.
Both my sons have studied abroad and
are now fine young men.
That's also all thanks to my hard work.
You want to protect our family,
so I'll do whatever it takes
to help you, okay?
I'll do my part too to protect Gilsu and Taeho.
Yes, I will.
Ms. Bae.
Hello.
What are you doing out here?
You must be here to see Bom.
Let's go inside.
No.
I got to see her from here.
Excuse me.
You two must talk if you are
to work through your issues.
Come on in and have some soup.
Come on. Let's go in.
Welcome...
Why are you here?
Bom.
Your mother wanted rice soup,
so I invited her in.
Please sit down.
You too, Bom.
- Bom. / - Ms. Bae.
Here you go.
Bom made this kimchi.
Enjoy your daughter's cooking.
And this is moju that Bom made.
We made it a drink the child makes for the parent,
unlike its original purpose.
Stop it, Mr. Kang.
Bom.
Your mother came all this way,
so offer her a little wine at least.
Okay?
I'm stepping out for a bit.
Bom.
I used to think that I lost you, but these days,
it feels like I've forsaken you.
I failed to embrace you
and drove you away.
I'm sorry I'm not good enough.
That feels good.
Good girl, Chisaem.
Hey. Yongman?
You're a fraud.
I was just at Punggildang.
Turns out the franchise deal
you offered me was unauthorized.
Unauthorized?
My brother-in-law is married to the CEO...
What?
The CEO called you herself
to apologize, saying that the agreement
is null and void?
What? What happened?
Gukhui heard about it already?
What are we going to do?
Come on.
We must escape her wrath.
Let's get out of here.
Come and eat.
Jeonggi, something came up.
Could you babysit Chisaem?
Oh, man.
This is why I was against it!
I'm still famished.
I don't have a penny on me
as we had to run out in a hurry.
Cough up whatever you guys have.
We didn't think to grab any money either.
My goodness. What's this?
- What do you call this right here? / - Oh, my.
Hon,
we should eat for
Peanut's sake.
One more order of spicy rice cake, please.
Yes, sir.
Is what we did that terrible though?
We got the order mixed up,
but our goal wasn't to cheat Gukhui, was it?
Of course not.
Irrespective of how it's done,
another franchisee
means more money for Gukhui.
That's right.
We were just trying to make more money for her.
But still, what we did was wrong.
We used Gukhui and Jeonggi's names
to get a franchisee and
we were going to spend the broker's fee.
I never used to be like this.
I used to be the voice of reason when
you were unreasonable with Gukhui.
But desperation changes you.
Since marrying Baedal,
I've been so desperate for money.
I'm sorry, hon.
Stop crying.
Otherwise, your child
will become a cry baby.
Won't your sister-in-law chew you out
when she finds out you brought me, too?
Midal's so smitten with some guy that
she doesn't even know who's here.
Plus, you can't sleep in the park like a bum.
Hang on.
Come in at my signal.
Okay. Okay.
Listen, Ms. Bae.
Baedal's not smart enough to do such a thing.
Pardon?
Stop accusing an innocent person.
Like I said, he's not here.
Pardon?
If he really did that,
I'll hand him over to the police myself.
Yes. Okay. Okay.
Mr. An! Mr. An!
Terrible news!
Our competitor rolled out a new wine
that's exactly like our yeonmiju.
What are you talking about?
Just look at the ad.
It's a blatant knockoff of our yeonmiju.
But it's half the price.
That's impossible.
Taeho, did you see?
A competitor released a knockoff of our yeonmiju.
How can this be?
Yeonmiju is the product of our lab's
independent research.
How can anyone make the same wine?
One of our employees must have
sold the recipe to our competitor.
We shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Let's study the competitor's wine
and carefully devise a countermeasure.
I read that Punggildang
is teetering.
Sell me the wine recipes and
get off this sinking ship.
Enough with your nonsense.
Get me the recipe for yeonmiju,
the most popular Punggildang wine.
I think I might know
who was behind this.
You don't know anything.
Maru.
Mr. An,
did you sell the yeonmiju recipe?
What are you talking about?
I have a lot on my mind because of that,
so please leave.
Did you really do it?
Weren't you being blackmailed by the man
to whom you gave Ms. Bae's notebook?
It wasn't me.
What are you two saying?
How dare you accuse
Mr. An without any proof?
You did this to cover up
what you did to me.
So you put the company in danger again?
What can I do to
make you believe me?
I swear it wasn't me.
I'll expose you for what you did.
What is the meaning of this?
You said you'd only use
the yeonmiju file as reference.
Taeho.
Aran.
If father really did do this...
He didn't.
Dad would never do such a thing.
But Maru overheard everything.
Why Maru of all people?
No. It wasn't dad.
It definitely wasn't him.
I emailed you what I found out about
the suppliers of the ingredients.
What about the yeast supplier?
I'll double-check that and
call you right away.
Okay. Thanks.
Keep up the good work.
Bom,
how dare you accuse
Mr. An without any proof?
Is this an act of vengeance
over a personal matter?
I would love to do just that,
but I'm trying not to,
so please go.
What do you plan to do then?
Just tell me.
You're going to use this stupid analysis
and Maru will use what he overheard
to dump this on Mr. An, aren't you?
Stop it.
Throwing a tantrum
won't make this go away.
Be patient and wait for the findings.
Who do you think you are?
I'm not like you.
I'm not petty like you,
so please go.
Father, please tell me the truth.
Do you know anything about the yeonmiju knockoff?
You don't believe me either?
That's not the issue right now.
We must stop Bom.
She's out for revenge.
What am I supposed to do?
If it doesn't matter
whether I did it or not,
what can I do?
There will be an emergency board meeting.
Get down on your knees before the board.
Aran.
When Bom is about to speak.
tell them it's your fault
and shed a few tears.
What are you talking about?
We must buy ourselves time
to frame Bom.
She made yeonmiju with Master Kim
at the wine restoration lab.
No one had easier access
to the recipe than Bom.
That's no way to resolve this.
Please keep it under wraps
until the presentation.
Of course.
But is this really true?
This is very serious.
We're in the same
industry after all...
Bom.
We need to talk.
Sure. Go ahead.
In private, please.
Listen to me.
Cancel your presentation
to the board.
Why should I?
I know it wasn't my father
who leaked the yeonmiju recipe.
So there's no reason for me to cancel.
Please listen to me.
The artificial sweetener incident,
and now a yeonmiju knockoff.
It's just one thing after another.
Why don't we first listen to the presentation
on the yeonmiju knockoff?
Um...
I believe a more thorough
investigation is in order.
We can discuss that after
the presentation.
I'll first detail
the comparative analysis on
our yeonmiju and the competitor's.
I'm sure you know there are rumors
that someone sold our yeonmiju recipe
to the said competitor.
There will be an emergency board meeting.
Get down on your knees before the board.
No, dad. You can't do that.
In short, the two products are
made of the same ingredients
but are completely different wines.
Our competitor's is just a poor knockoff.
I have something to tell you.
That yeonmiju recipe...
Taeho. Mr. An,
we're in the middle of a meeting.
Mr. An, what do you want to tell us?
That recipe...
Bom finished her presentation.
Their fermentation method is completely different.
(Application for Divorce)
I will show this to Bom
so that she keeps her mouth shut.
She wouldn't want her newlywed
sister to divorce, would she?
Bom.
Thank you for what you did today.
There's no need to thank me.
All I did was speak the truth.
What are you doing, Mr. An?
Hold me accountable for what my father
did to you 20 years ago.
But...
All I want is the truth.
Taeho!
What are you doing?
You cold-hearted wretch!
