(Episode 18)
I saw your handsome son.
So where's your daughter-in-law? I thought she'd be here.
All the ladies are dying to meet her too.
I'll give her a call.
Dramatorrent.com
She just texted me.
Something came up...
and she apologized for leaving.
Really?
We should carry on with dinner then.
- Of course. - Sure.
I'm sorry. I had to work late and couldn't make it.
I'd rather you yell at me than say nothing.
I can't take the silence.
Mo Ah,
you don't need to stay at home anymore.
Go back to work.
Honey.
- Do Hoon. - Yes?
Why didn't you say anything?
Are you ashamed of her too?
No, I just didn't want to...
embarrass Mom or Mo Ah.
As if that's an excuse.
Don't be like your mom.
I won't be so lenient if anything like this happens again.
I'm sorry.
Why are you scolding him?
If Mo Ah made a mistake tonight...
That's enough.
I should've known better...
and it's all my fault.
Tae Jin,
get ready to officially announce Mo Ah by the end of this week.
I can't let you to that. Not when I know who she is.
What do you not like about her?
I didn't want to say this but...
Do you know what she did?
She worked at a hostess bar.
I can't believe she tried to hide that from us.
Mom, it's not what you think.
She only worked in the kitchen.
Can you say for sure?
Were you always there to keep an eye on her?
Mo Ah,
you tell me.
Yes,
it's true that I worked at a hostess bar.
However, I never did anything dishonorable.
Good.
I couldn't care less...
even if she did something worse...
since everything she did was for Do Hoon.
Anyone who disagrees...
can leave this house.
Honey!
Mo Ah, fix yourself dinner. This is your house too.
Don't be intimidated.
Here. Drink some water.
Do you want some?
Because of me, you hardly ate yourself.
Did you quit your job...
because my mom told you to?
No, it wasn't like that.
I'm sorry for not being more attentive.
But...
you need to change.
What do you mean by that?
Your life's different now.
You're now the wife of Shin Do Hoon...
and not a broke orphan.
So be more confident...
and stop being a pushover.
- You wanted to see me? - Have a seat.
Just how much do you like Mo Ah?
Sorry?
Do you love her?
So much that you can't live without her?
Why are you asking me that?
Do you remember Assemblyman Cha?
He has a divorced daughter by the name of Cha Young Hwa.
The marriage lasted about three years.
Her divorce was quite the scandal back then.
The in-laws still benefited from the marriage.
Their company joined the ranks thanks to their union with the Chas.
That's why the privileged still have arranged marriages.
It's how the rich prevails for generations.
No matter how tempting,
Mo Ah's my wife and Jae Min's mom.
Of course.
You can always cover her flaws.
I should get going.
I'm heading to the hospital, so meet me outside.
Why is she sleeping here?
You're the patient, not her.
The room's awfully clean.
The nurses cleaned it up to welcome CEO Shin.
What?
Mother, wake up. CEO Shin's on his way.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I wasn't the one who broke the cup.
What is she going on about?
Mother, wake up! CEO Shin's on his way.
What? Did you say CEO Shin?
Please come on in.
We've been waiting for you to come by.
Hello, Sir.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Jung Mo Hyuk.
Finally, we meet.
How are you doing?
I'm good. Thank you for looking out for me.
Can I get you anything to drink?
No, it's all right.
Anyway, I came here to ask for your understanding.
Anytime soon,
we're going to introduce Mo Ah to the public.
Gosh, I thought it was something else.
You should do what you find is necessary.
Once we go public,
reporters will try and interview you,
so we apologize in advance.
We're already bracing ourselves, so don't worry about us.
Is there really no way out of this?
You're lucky to be still alive.
Did they catch the hit-and-run driver?
As if. They found him dead.
What? What do you mean they found him dead?
He crashed into a guard rail while fleeing the scene.
He was probably disoriented from hitting someone.
At first, they thought it was an accident,
but the black box proved him as the culprit.
That was close.
The hit-and-run driver almost got away with it.
My parents sold vegetables out of their truck...
and died in a car accident.
A hit-and-run driver?
I need you to look into the accident that killed Mo Ah's parents.
I read that the driver was asleep at the wheel.
I already know that.
Check to see...
if there were any hit-and-run accidents nearby.
What does their accident have to do with that?
They could be the hit-and-run drivers of an ongoing case.
I need to check to be safe.
Ms. Jung will be introduced any time soon now.
I'll buy you more time. Leave that to me.
Now get on it right away.
How do you plan on introducing Mo Ah?
Let's keep it simple.
We'll ask a few reporters to write a short piece on her.
Let me call the press.
I thought you weren't on board with the announcement.
She's my daughter-in-law. What can I do?
Still, we'll need some time to get ready.
It's only an interview. What's there to prepare?
If we're going to present her, we'll do it properly.
I'll take her to the spa...
and teach her how to carry herself.
Just give me an extra few days.
This must not be one of your tricks.
Just you wait and see. I'll transform her into a model.
Mo Ah,
have you ever been to a spa?
No, I haven't.
Once we introduce you, you'll be bombarded with interviews.
So make sure that you regularly receive facials.
Yes, Mother.
Your parents' car accident.
You said your father was asleep at the wheel.
Sorry?
Yes, that's right.
How was that proven when there weren't any witnesses?
Their truck headed straight into the guard rail.
Nothing malfunctioned,
so the police assumed my dad dozed off since it was night time.
I see.
Was anyone else hurt?
No.
Why the sudden interest though?
Reporters will ask about the accident...
and it'll be bad if there were any other victims.
Don't worry. I heard there were none.
Good.
Your dad wants you to meet him.
He's the second oldest son of CEO Kang.
I'm never remarrying, so let Dad know that.
Why not? There's nothing wrong with you.
It's not your fault your husband cheated,
so it's time you started afresh.
Find someone nice and have children of your own.
Can't you at least meet him once?
Your dad's driving me crazy with his nagging.
I'll think about it.
Right now, I need to work.
Think about it and let me know.
What if I end up liking you?
What would you do?
I'm worried that...
I'll actually fall for you.
It's close to garbage.
Don't you pity me.
Don't look at me like that. You're making me feel miserable.
Can she be any more annoying?
Hi, Do Hoon.
Are you free tonight? I'd like to get together.
Sure. Where should we meet?
Don't tell Nam Koo that I came by to help.
Of course.
Because of him, I feel bad asking you for a favor.
So where's the daughter-in-law?
You'd never believe how madam treats...
Ms. Kim, it's been a while.
Hello, Ma'am.
My gosh, this looks delicious.
Let me see.
How is it?
I tried to go easy on the salt.
It's delicious.
No wonder my husband only eats your kimchi.
By the way, congratulations on finding your son.
Thank you. That reminds me.
I hope you know not to speak of my daughter-in-law yet.
Of course. Ja Ok already told me.
My lips are sealed.
So how's your son doing?
He's good.
That's why the privileged still have arranged marriages.
I guess it's up to you to cover her flaws.
Talk about the unexpected.
Who knew that you'd ever buy me drinks here?
How's your business coming along?
Not good since the economy's bad.
It's why I'm planning a vacation abroad.
How would you like to go on one to China?
- China? - What's wrong?
Don't you want to go?
China was actually my first choice.
So you're on board with helping me then.
Why me and not those from your office?
Because none of them...
I can trust yet.
I'll pour you a drink to show I'm fully on board, Mr. Shin.
Don't be like that.
I'd rather you keep addressing me comfortably.
All right, fine.
I'll only be that way when we're officially on the clock.
Cheers.
("Mom's Diary")
- Hey. - Mom.
I'll turn it off if it's that boring.
Don't be absurd. That was my sigh of joy.
Shin Ae, isn't it hilarious?
It is.
The only option for us is to move out of the house.
I'll call you when I find us a place.
Grandma.
Grandma, we're saved.
Read this.
Shin Ae, I'm sorry about the other day.
I also talked to my mother-in-law, so don't worry about the cup.
We're saved!
Long live our country.
Long live Mo Ah!
Thank you, Mo Ah!
What's going on? Let me read that.
What you don't know won't hurt you.
Grandma, let's now watch TV.
Mom, please.
Mo Hyuk's studying, remember?
What if we mentioned the building during the interview?
What interview? Is it about your restaurant?
As if. He means Mo Ah's official first interview.
Shin Ae, you better watch your mouth with the reporters.
That goes for you and Chun Soo.
You didn't mention me, so I must be in the clear.
I didn't mention you because you never listen.
I can't believe her sometimes.
Mom, look.
The teddy bear even talks.
Hi, Jae Min. I'm Ms. Bear.
It also records conversations.
You must be glad to have a new friend.
Can you sing here a song?
You're late.
I had drinks with a friend.
Mo Ah, about what I said yesterday...
It's all right. I'll stand up for myself from now on.
Mom, come on.
Okay.
Three bears live in one house
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear
Papa Bear is
It's your turn.
Papa Bear is
Fit and strong
Mama Bear is slender
Baby Bear is
Adorable
- Shrug, shrug, happy three bears - Shrug, shrug, happy three bears
That was amazing.
There really was a hit-and-run accident?
It happened 10km from where Ms. Jung's parents crashed.
A car hit two pedestrians and fled the scene.
There weren't any witness or cameras and so the case was unsolved.
Really? What about the victims?
The father died, but the teenager son survived.
The accident crushed them financially though.
The hit-and-run driver couldn't have made it far after fleeing the scene.
What if it were Mo Ah's father?
I don't think it was.
Please look at this.
The plate number is different.
That of your in-laws was 1450...
while that of the hit-and-run incident...
started with the numbers 7 and 4.
Another dead end and the clock's ticking.
Would you like to talk to the surviving victim?
Where can I find him?
Why are you...
dredging up the past?
It's...
It's important to us.
All we need from you is the truth.
I don't want to talk about it, so leave.
Don't you want to catch the driver?
What good will that do? Will it bring back my dad?
Will my leg be miraculously fixed?
My life will be the same anyway.
It'll make no difference, so don't seek me out again.
This is a nice surprise. You never help out.
Do you remember when we did a moonlight because of Man Soo?
Of course.
You coaxed us all into running away.
That's right.
What would you do if something like that happens again?
We'll have to take our own lives.
We were on the brink of death then.
You heard your mother.
Don't you ever delete Mo Ah's text.
Don't worry. I've moved it to a separate inbox.
Gosh.
Honey, Honey!
Why the fuss?
Is Mo Ah's mother-in-law here again?
How did you know that?
I was wondering if we could talk.
Gosh.
I see your dislike of Mo Ah has lead you to hating her parents.
That's not the case. I'm only checking the facts.
It feels more like an interrogation.
Besides, you're talking about my brother.
I know what happened better than anyone.
You weren't there though.
Also, you fled during the night right after the funeral.
Was there another reason why you left in a hurry?
Another reason?
We had to relocate to hide from debt collectors.
We've paid back everything now...
but even to this day I feel sorry for making...
Mo Ah and Mo Hyuk grow up in an orphanage.
Does that answer your question?
Is there anything else you'd like to ask?
No, I'm good. I'll get going then.
My gosh.
They must be Mo Ah's parents.
That's right.
It was the day they bought the truck.
Who knew it'll lead to their demise?
That of your in-laws was 1450...
while that of the hit-and-run incident...
started with the numbers 7 and 4.
It looks like a seven.
What are you doing?
Can I take this photo with me?
Why?
Please let me. It's of very importance.
I need to know why...
before I let you take it with you.
Forget I said anything.
I'll get going, then.
You were wrong.
The plate number on Mo Ah's parents' truck is 7450.
7450?
That's not possible.
I can't be certain, but it looked like a seven.
Her father might be the hit-and-run driver.
She must have lied to us.
It's fishy how her aunt's family did a moonlight flit.
But what about the police report?
They must've made a mistake.
Why couldn't he have married someone else?
My gut tells me that they hit the pedestrians.
Ma'am, I found it.
See?
- I was right. - You were.
It does start with a seven.
Show the photo to the surviving victim.
If I'm right, Mo Ah's dad was the hit-and-run driver.
Yes, Ma'am.
Mo Ah, where are you?
You should've waited inside.
I felt awkward to do so.
- Let's head inside, then. - Hello, Ma'am.
My gosh.
Doctor Ahn, it's been a while. Do you come to this spa too?
I do. Now who's this?
She's my daughter-in-law.
I'm sure you remember...
that I was in therapy after losing Do Hoon.
She was my doctor.
- It's nice to meet you. - Likewise.
Excuse me.
Ma'am, it's me. There's something you need to see.
I'll be right there.
I'm afraid something came up.
Mo Ah, you should stay though.
We should head inside.
Sure.
Are you sure?
All right.
What's that candle for?
The aroma will help clear your mind.
I see.
"The fairest flowers..."
"fade the soonest."
Beautiful women don't live long.
Will I die young, then?
- Where's Mom? - At CEO Shin's.
She went to help for tomorrow's interview.
They always call our mom when they can afford outside help.
I told you not to help them. Come home right now.
Were you trying to make me go deaf just now?
Anyway, I want you to pick me up later.
I hurt my ankle.
Unbelievable. How bad is it?
It's not that bad.
I just can't walk properly.
Is the son at home?
No, he won't be until later tonight.
Why do you ask though?
Wait for me outside.
I'm not going inside, so you'll have to come out.
I can't run into Do Hoon.
Good boy.
Here you go.
- Dad! - Hello, Sir.
Do I know you?
I'm friends with Ja Ok...
and I'm filling for her today.
I heard good things about you from Ja Ok.
Is my wife home yet?
Not yet.
I was hoping to see her while I'm here,
but I guess that won't be happening.
I'd just like to say I'm happy you finally found your parents.
Thank you.
Well, I'm here now, so I'll look after Jae Min.
Sure.
Hello.
I'm a reporter from Samguk Daily.
I was hoping to ask you about the daughter-in-law.
I know nothing, so don't ask me any questions.
Hello, Ma'am.
- And you are? - Hello.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Park Sang Wook of Samguk Daily.
And?
I'd like to get a head start on the interview.
The lady over here just told me how beautiful your daughter-in-law is.
When did I ever say that?
Is she perhaps an employee of TMO Group?
It's rude to just show up at one's house.
Try this again and I'll have you blocked from the interview.
We need to talk.
I thought I made myself clear.
You're not supposed to talk to anyone.
I didn't say anything to that reporter.
Didn't you tell him that she works at TMO Group?
Of course not.
I don't even know what she looks like,
so how could I talk to the reporter about her?
You heard the reporter though.
Mom, that's enough. She said she didn't talk.
I'm so sorry, Ma'am.
If anything like this happens again, I won't let it slide.
Nam Koo, when did you get here?
Check this out.
Look.
The madam gave me this for my services today.
This isn't necessary. I can walk just fine.
Hop on. You don't want it to swell.
I'm heavy, aren't I?
No, you're light as a feather.
- Mom. - Yes?
I'm sorry.
About what?
I'm just sorry.
Now you're just being silly.
Your back sure is warm.
Excuse me, you dropped a shoe.
Let me put it on for her.
Thank you so much.
What a sweet young lady.
It's the kind of girl I dream of you marrying someday.
I'm home.
Right.
I need to talk to Mo Ah, so can you excuse us?
Sure.
Gosh, there's a ringing in my head.
I heard that this candle helps with headaches.
I saw it at the spa today.
I love how it smells.
So tomorrow's the day of your interview.
Is there something you're hiding from me?
What do you mean by that?
Is there anything I should know about your parents' accident?
No, there isn't, Mother.
Mother?
If you want to keep calling me that,
you should take this chance to tell me the truth.
Is there anything you're hiding?
There isn't.
You better be ready to take responsibility for your words.
You just said you're not hiding anything.
We should get going then.
Mo Ah, there's no need to be nervous.
They'll take a few photos, and you're done.
Yes, Father.
Let's go.
No.
There's no need to.
I canceled our interview with the reporters.
I thought you were on board with this.
We should ask Mo Ah why.
Mo Ah,
tell me again about how your parents died.
Sorry?
You said that...
your father fell asleep at the wheel of his truck.
Well...
Why did you lie to me?
Your father was the driver of a hit-and-run accident.
He crashed his car while fleeing the scene.
One of his victims died as a result.
Is this all true?
I'm so sorry.
(I Am Sorry, but I Love You)
How could you forget such a thing?
How could I tell you when I can't remember?
This belonged to Mo Ah's parents.
These will only bring bad luck.
I need your help.
I should at least visit the site.
Why am I here? Why did I only just remember?
