(Episode 93) Seonyeong.
I thought
all would be fine if our family was well.
Seeing you happy
and watching the boys grow up
was my only joy.
Yes.
People sin.
But I thought I'd be forgiven.
I thought
I'd be forgiven if I made amends.
What are you saying?
Gilsu. Gilsu.
I know how hard you
worked for me and our sons.
I don't blame you.
I understand and forgive you.
I told you I can't live without you.
Gilsu. Gilsu.
Go and get my husband!
What are you talking about?
Leave her alone.
What have you done to Gilsu?
Find him right now!
What do you think you're doing?
Mr. An purposely abandoned Bom.
He committed a terrible offense.
Don't take it out on us!
Gilsu has disappeared.
What if he hurts himself?
Ms. Yun!
Please go!
Mr. An ran away to avoid facing
what he did.
He's a coward.
Why is everyone blaming Gilsu?
You lost your own daughter.
If you had kept an eye on her,
this wouldn't have happened.
Why are you blaming my mom?
What about my lost time?
I didn't even know who I was.
And my parents
lived apart after I went missing.
Bring back my family's
lost years.
We'll let the law decide.
Stop torturing us,
and we'll let the law decide.
Mom!
Mom, let's go.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Why are you apologizing?
You did nothing wrong.
Mom, let's go.
You didn't do anything.
How can Aran's mother-in-law be so cheeky?
Don't remind me that Aran's part of that family.
Good grief.
I don't know why Aran insists on staying there.
You don't say.
Why is she being so stubborn?
Or maybe Ms. Yun isn't letting her go.
You saw what she did.
After begging for forgiveness,
she did an about-face
and blamed Gukhui.
I'd like to be alone.
You want to be alone
when our family's like this?
This happened because of you.
How is this mom's fault?
You should've kept a better eye on her.
I'm sure you're all upset, but
no one is more upset than me.
I'm angry at mom and dad too.
But this isn't mom's fault.
It was Mr. An who did this,
so he's the one who should be punished.
We can't take legal action against him,
but shouldn't you
drive him out of the company?
We can't keep him around Bom.
Just the thought makes me shudder.
Geez. Look at her.
She has nothing to say.
She should have done a better job
as a mother.
Grandma.
Mom. Mom.
Taeho, you know how virtuous your father is.
Must he be treated like a criminal
for a single mistake?
Bom's family has suffered.
What are you saying?
You have to be on your dad's side.
He's having such a hard time.
He needs your support.
Aran.
Why are you here?
Mom.
I told you.
You're no longer welcome here.
Don't you see that
this won't help Taeho or father?
We vowed to get through this together.
Are you lecturing your mother-in-law?
It's because of you...
You know very well
that you're being unreasonable.
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
How dare she!
(Agreement on Joint Seasonal Wine Project)
I just have to do well.
Solid performance is the only way mom will see.
If the company does better,
mom will forgive father
for my sake.
What is that?
It's nothing.
Taeho, don't mind what mother said.
She's unreasonable
because she's very stressed.
And I'll take care of everything.
I'll do whatever it takes
to mend the crack between our families.
Thank you for saying that,
but this is exhausting.
It makes sense now why our marriage
started off rocky...
What are you saying?
Do you want to leave me or something?
How can I leave you?
I'm just tired, that's all.
Brace yourself.
You and I are in this together.
Despite what father's done to our family,
I'm still here.
I chose you and father.
Is there no way we can sincerely apologize
to your family and
be forgiven so we can start over?
Stop it, will you?
So that coward abandoned you?
As I was looking for you,
I kept wondering
over and over how I could have lost you.
Why didn't I know?
Why was I so stupid?
Why didn't I see
that he was lying to me
after abandoning you?
After I lost you,
your father left, and the family
was torn apart. I trusted and relied
on that fraud, thinking he was
the only one who stuck by me.
Don't cry, mom.
I'm sorry.
I can't forgive myself.
It's okay, mom.
But they say there's nothing I can do
to make him pay.
I can't make him pay for tearing
our family apart for 20 years.
I want to avenge you, but
there's nothing I can do.
They say there's nothing I can do for you.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry, mom.
It's me.
Please remove the photos in the hallway.
Yes.
All of them.
Don't leave a single one hanging.
He has no personal engagements planned.
Why did you live like this?
It's come to this anyway.
Did you think
it'd go away if you worked hard for Ms. Bae?
And why did you
have to drag me into this?
How did you think you wouldn't get caught?
I'm sure he thought never.
My father dedicated 30 some years
to you and you only.
He had no life of his own.
He devoted himself to Punggildang.
He deceived me and
tore my family apart.
I can't ask you for forgiveness.
I honestly don't know how
we are to carry on.
As your elder, I shouldn't push you away,
but it's not easy.
But you and Aran are married.
I can't ask you to get divorced.
So I was thinking...
You and Aran go to an overseas branch.
Let's do that.
And talk to your father
into leaving Punggildang.
It's too hard for all of us.
Please leave a message after the tone...
Why won't dad pick up?
Oh... Mr. An?
He's with Mr. Ma
at a restaurant across the street.
Really?
Yes.
Is something going on today?
There were non-standing board members too.
I ask you for your support.
I'm counting on you.
Thank you.
Sure.
You're more on our wavelength than Ms. Bae.
Let's go.
Mr. An.
Mr. An, can we talk?
How can you just take off like this?
Stop!
Bom.
Mr. An just left.
He saw me and took off
without a word like a coward.
Do you know where he went?
How would I know?
If you get a hold of him, tell him that
he must pay for
what he did and not run away.
It's so nice to
plant flowers
without worrying about eviction.
I'm finally a homeowner at my ripe old age.
I'm so happy.
Why are you planting flowers?
You and I make a handsome bouquet.
In broad daylight?
Who cares?
Why can't I love my wife?
Stop it.
I'm both sorry and thankful
that I unwittingly deceived you
and yet you forgave me.
Why don't you stop working
and close the pub?
Let's travel together
and have fun.
Close the pub?
You know I can support you.
I should go.
This is how I fed my family and
sent the girls to school.
This place has been more than just a pub.
It's been my rock, like a husband or a parent.
How can I close this place?
- Hello. / - Oh, hi.
Rice soup, please.
Of course.
Here you go.
Easy on the bracken
and extra scallions for you.
And no spicy seasoning for you.
No one makes better rice soup.
Thank you for saying that.
A potential tenant will be coming
to take a look.
I used to hate having to
work here all day.
But now that
I'm not worried about making money,
there's no where I'd rather be than here,
where people can enjoy my soup.
I see.
But it's backbreaking work.
I'm still in tiptop shape.
When I was learning the trade,
I didn't get why the owner came
at 5:00 a.m. every morning
to make soup despite
owning a seven-story building.
But now I see how rewarding it is
to work despite having enough money.
I still want to work.
I'll close shop in maybe 20 years.
I'll make myself sick if I can't work here.
The passion of a woman's working hands...
Your working hands are beautiful.
You're a true woman.
What are you doing?
We have customers.
Midal.
So that Mr. An or whatever had
purposely abandoned Bom?
Yes.
It's mayhem over there.
His wife came to
the office and even
threatened to kill herself
if they didn't
forgive him.
So he had an ulterior motive
when he came by after
your brother-in-law died.
He was
tailing Bom for information.
It sends chills down my spine.
How could he have kept
an eye on her after abandoning her?
What are you talking about?
So he had been watching her since then?
That scumbag is worse than a beast.
Bom must have been so shocked.
Even I'm utterly aghast,
so how could that tiny thing
bear it and keep it
to herself all this time?
Marketing and Development Support
will work together to pursue
my seasonal wine project.
To start, we will be making
three spring wines:
songhwaju, jungnyeokgo, and dugyeonju.
Wouldn't it be better
just to revise the proposal?
Ms. Bae put a moratorium on the project.
I agree.
It's not right to
pursue a project that's been put on hold.
Mr. Kang, when will you stop being so passive?
Won't the company warm up to the project
if we produce something concrete?
That's right. Why must we
throw in the towel so easily?
The proposal will get
the green light if we resubmit it
with the said wines.
I have experience making dugyeonju,
so I'll give it a go.
Thanks. Thank you.
I ask for everyone's input.
Why go through
the trouble on a doomed project?
What power do we have?
We must do as we're told.
Geez.
Are you serious about helping Ms. Choi?
She deceived you despite knowing
what Mr. An had done.
That's a separate matter.
Who knows? This might be a big hit.
It'll be great for the company.
I don't get you nor
can I forgive Ms. Choi.
Maybe it's my pettiness,
but I can't bear to
let your tormentors get off scot-free.
What are you doing?
You must be making dugyeonju.
Yes.
Ms. Choi ordered everyone to work
on the seasonal wine project.
I told you to put it on hold.
How dare you defy me!
Mom, I mean, Ms. Bae,
I'm confident about this.
I even mapped out
the project's commercialization,
from R&D and production to sales.
You're so stubborn.
That's why you married the son of the man
who abandoned your sister.
What does that have to do with this?
In any case, no.
That project had been attempted
while you were overseas studying.
Aggressive tactics are fine,
but we must err on the side of caution
when the company is struggling.
With some tweaks,
the project may work.
With my modest contribution...
Bom, don't defend your sister.
Don't overextend yourself.
Just focus on your existing projects.
You're both excused.
Good heavens.
The shock is hard to bear.
Is it true?
You didn't get lost but
was purposely abandoned
by your sister's father-in-law?
Yes.
But he won't apologize.
An apology won't cut it.
We must put him
behind bars or
humiliate him in front of all his neighbors.
He should be shamed into oblivion.
You lead the way.
We'd just be venting our anger.
I don't want that.
I want a proper apology
and true remorse.
Did you get that from the Bible?
Tit-for-tat revenge is best
on degenerates like him.
And I thought you had mellowed out.
Aran, what are you doing?
Hi, Taeho.
Mother hasn't been eating.
Maybe this will help
get her appetite back.
Thank you.
I know this is hard on you too.
What do you take me for?
I told you to leave.
Mom.
Mother, can you taste
the sauce I made
for spicy octopus stir-fry?
These are your divorce papers.
I filled it out.
Affix your seals and get it processed.
I won't ask you for your understanding.
Just take it out on me.
I can take it.
I won't whine to you anymore,
so don't fuss over trivial matters.
We must look at the big picture.
Thank you for meeting with me so early.
My mother put me in charge of this.
So long as Ms. Bae authorized it.
Here. Take a look.
We just wired our share of the funds,
so go ahead and check.
As per our agreement,
you will offer your cutting-edge
production line and
distribution channels for
the wines we develop.
Very well.
We will manage the funds and disclose
the expenditures in a transparent manner.
Well, then.
Thank you.
Likewise.
Thank you.
Isn't that Punggildang's division director?
That's right.
The man she's with is
the president of Inhae Winery.
There are rumors that he's hiding
the company's poor finances
to raise capital.
Why would she be meeting him?
I look forward to this.
Good grief.
I'll drop her off at kindergarten
on my way to work.
What's gotten into you?
Hello?
Why are you calling?
What do you mean? Really?
Hello?
Hey!
That was rude.
You're otherwise perfect,
but that temper of yours...
That's right.
She's so full of flaws,
the worst being her temper.
Geez, mom.
Chisaem, you'll be late.
I'll pick her up
during my lunch break,
so don't worry
and just try to calm down
for the baby's sake.
Now that you have a job,
you've gotten your act together.
You must be set on being a good dad.
Of course.
And I'll be a good son-in-law
and a good husband too,
- so you just watch. / - Okay.
I'm off to kindergarten.
- Okay. / - Have fun.
Mom, Chisaem's dad got divorced.
What? Geez.
Why did that lowlife get divorced again?
He wants us to get back together
so we can be a family again.
My badge.
What did you say?
Be a family again?
Huh? What?
You must have misheard.
Don't lie.
I know what I heard.
Did you compare me to Chisaem's dad?
How can you
when you're carrying our baby?
But I didn't.
I'm dumbfounded because he keeps
spouting nonsense.
Keeps spouting nonsense?
Did you see your ex-husband?
It was just to discuss Chisaem's
schooling issues.
You should be discussing that with me.
I'm Chisaem's dad now.
Stop it. It's nothing to fight over.
If Chisaem's father wants to raise her,
we'll just send her to him.
- Mother! / - Mom!
Where are you going?
Grandma.
Sorry.
Hey!
I'll keep this short.
You can't be with Suho.
He's the son of our family's enemy.
And even if you married him,
do you think you can last?
They won't look kindly on you.
What happened doesn't concern us.
I'm a half-breed anyway.
When was I considered family here?
Enough.
What about the baby in your belly?
What do you mean?
I'll deliver it, and we'll raise it well.
Suho and I are married.
Stop being ridiculous.
Snapping a photo together means nothing.
I wish that baby never happened.
Once you deliver, we're sending
the baby to them.
And you're staying in this room
until the dust settles.
Don't worry, Jia.
I'll go talk to your dad and grandma.
Hang in there.
Are you still hung up on my son?
You'd better leave him alone.
Mom.
An Suho,
I told you not to call her again.
Jia's pregnant with my child.
Whether you like it or not, she's my wife.
What? Wife?
How dare you say such a ridiculous thing!
And did you check?
Is the baby
really yours?
Mom!
She might have been sleeping around
and saw you
as easy prey.
Stop it.
Jia's not like that.
You're so naive.
You fall for everything she says.
If she calls again and yammers on
about the baby,
just say it has
nothing to do with you.
We're done with that family once and for all.
No matter what,
I'm taking care of Jia and our baby.
You fool...
Just scolding Jia won't
make this go away.
Plus, she's with child.
And we should tell Gukhui.
Don't you dare.
Are you out of your mind?
Jia got knocked up by
our enemy's
knucklehead son of all people.
It'll get really bad here
if Gukhui finds out.
But we can't keep it a secret forever.
Jeonggi! Mom!
There's a problem!
I felt so sorry for Jia, so
I came up to give her folic acid,
and this is what I found.
Good grief. Where did she go?
Where did she run off to this time?
That Jia...
I'm half an hour late.
Jeongmi will throw a fit
if she finds out I was late.
Hello.
I'm Chisaem's dad.
She's inside, right?
Pardon?
Chisaem just left with
her dad.
What are you talking about?
But I'm Chisaem's dad.
Who took her?
There are two things you can't stop
a living person from doing.
Breathing and loving.
And their love is no ordinary love.
There's a baby involved.
What are we going to do?
What can we do?
Despite our threats,
they won't break up.
They have a baby together.
My goodness.
We must have him live here then.
Mom.
If their fates are intertwined
and they can't break up,
let's have the boy move in here
instead of having my granddaughter
bear them a child,
suffer at their hands,
and then get thrown out.
What can we do even if he's our enemy's son?
Jia wants to be with him.
I told you.
I'm not getting back together with you.
What? You took Chisaem?
Why would you take her?
Hey, Jeongmi.
Jeongmi.
What about Chisaem?
You should've picked her up on time.
I'm sorry.
The other guy was late for his shift.
You kept her waiting for 30 minutes
and let her father take her because
of your stupid security guard job?
Why can't you do anything right?
I'm so sorry.
But honey,
let me ask you something.
Do you want to get back together with
Chisaem's dad now that he's divorced?
How can you say that?
He just told me
to get lost if I don't have
the means to raise my child!
Honey.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It's all my fault. I'm sorry.
What am I going to do?
Chisaem just started to
settle into her life with me.
But I hurt that poor child again
by letting her dad take her.
What am I going to do?
About Inhae Winery...
They dealt a huge blow
to the reputation of our industry.
They made a cheap knockoff of our product
with synthetic additives, undermining
the reputation of traditional wines.
The incident actually served to reaffirm
the high quality of our yeonmiju.
Mr. An!
Lead was detected in
Inhae Winery's products.
And my friend at the finance team there
asked me if we were hiring as
Inhae is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Taeho.
Taeho,
the production and distribution of
our seasonal wines are all set.
How?
Administration was skeptical, saying
our plant expansion alone
would cost millions.
I concluded the deal with Inhae this morning.
We affixed our seals.
We'll only make a minimal investment
and have their plant...
What are you talking about?
Word is that Inhae's about to go bankrupt.
What are you talking about?
Ms. Bae was against that deal.
How was her seal affixed to the contract?
No. No!
Hello?
Is the rumor about your company true?
I must see you.
Hey.
Hello?
It's me.
Where are you?
Are you safe?
Are you okay?
I've only been
away for a few days.
Listen, Mr. An Gilsu,
I'll go to you.
Tell me where you are.
Give me a bit more time.
I'm almost ready.
Okay.
I love you too.
Mr. An, we need to talk.
You can't just disappear...
Sure.
I'll go see you soon.
Thank you for all your hard work, Ms. Bae.
Excuse me?
See?
You should've just accepted my apology.
