I came to ask Ms. Cha something.
You said you don't know Oh Sang Beom, didn't you?
Then what's this?
(Transfer of Patent)
(Transferor: Oh Sang Beom, Transferee: Choigo Dumplings)
Dal Nim, wait.
Please answer my question. I need to know too.
Do you really not know my father, Oh Sang Beom?
You said you didn't know him to me and my mom.
How could you lie to us?
I trusted you.
Did you really steal my dad's meat aging technique?
Are you the reason why my dad died?
I heard my dad got into an accident...
on his way home from your place after he failed to meet you.
Is that true?
What? An accident? How did...
I trusted you more than anybody else.
But if you try to hide your sin by lying and giving excuses,
that makes you no different from the others.
It doesn't matter how big or small your sin is.
If you don't admit to what you did,
that makes you no different than Se Na,
who's using your weakness to threaten you.
- Grandma. - Mom.
My gosh, stop it. Can't you see that she might faint?
What's going on?
Eun Jung, what's wrong with Mom?
Dal Nim, did you do this to my mom?
Were you trying to cover this case up...
without acknowledging your fault?
Did you think I'd never find out if you covered it up?
Dal Nim, you're mistaken.
She wasn't trying to cover anything up.
Then why weren't you honest...
when my mom came and asked you the question?
I wanted to keep you in my heart forever...
as a very honest grown-up.
But you've broken my trust towards you.
Do you know how much...
my dad had to go through to invent that technique?
He'd get cut with a deboning knife,
and his hand would be bleeding so much.
But he'd just put a bandage around,
and stay up all night trying to develop that technique.
You practically stole my dad's...
blood and sweat.
Dal... Dal Nim.
Mother.
What's going on, Ko Bong?
Why is Dal Nim so angry at Mom?
- Let's take Mom to her room. - Okay.
Mother, let's go inside.
I was waiting for you after Se Na told me the news.
Where are you coming back from?
Did you meet Ms. Cha?
She just came back from meeting my grandmother.
Did you also know about this?
Dal Nim, we need to talk.
I guess you knew about this as well.
Everyone else knew...
except for me and my mom,
when we were the ones who actually deserved to know.
I'm sorry we couldn't tell you earlier.
My grandmother just needed some time.
She was going to hold a press conference tomorrow.
But you ended up finding out before that.
I feel so distressed and disappointed.
I really trusted Ms. Cha.
I thought she was similar to my dad.
But how could she...
I know how you feel.
We all just needed some time.
We figured it'd be right to give Ms. Cha...
a chance to confess what she did before Se Na exposed anything.
That's why we couldn't tell you anything.
When my dad died,
my mom and I went through so much pain,
and we missed him so much.
Just like how you and Ms. Cha needed some time to think about things,
I think my mom and I would need that time for ourselves too.
Dal Nim.
Don't be impatient.
We need to give Dal Nim some time.
I'm sure it'll be really hard,
but I know Dal Nim and Ms. Cha will both get through this.
I'll take care of Dal Nim and her mother.
You should take care of Ms. Cha.
Thank you.
Did you have to do this?
Don't you think you're being too harsh on my grandmother and Dal Nim?
What about what you did to me?
I only told Dal Nim what she deserved to know.
What's the difference between finding out from...
Ms. Cha's press conference and finding out because I told her?
Are you kidding me right now?
Why are you even taking things this far?
An honest confession? A press conference?
You didn't have to go that far.
I gave you a chance to cover it up.
So the only reason you're doing this is because of Dal Nim.
My feelings and this incident have nothing to do with each other.
Don't connect them.
Actually, you're not wrong.
If Ms. Cha confesses what she did...
and reveals the ill-fated relationship between both families,
your chance of getting married to Dal Nim...
would be lower than your chance of getting married to me.
Regardless of how much you like Dal Nim,
I don't think she'll start liking the grandson of the person...
who killed her own father.
But then again,
Dal Nim doesn't even know how you feel for her yet.
How's Mother?
She's become stable now.
Ko Bong, is it true?
Was Dal Nim telling the truth?
Yes, it's true.
I can't believe this.
Are you really saying Mother kept quiet when she knew that...
Director Hyun had stolen..
the meat aging technique from Dal Nim's father?
Yes.
To be honest, she always felt guilty about having to...
hide it for so many years.
So she wanted to use this chance to set things right,
and confess to the press, but she was one step too late.
This all happened because Dal Nim found out before that.
What happens if she confesses everything to the press?
People will criticize her so much.
Their respect for her will plummet.
She'll probably be too embarrassed to show her face.
But it's not like she can avoid holding the press conference.
What should we do?
Must she confess to the press, Ko Bong?
The past is just the past.
Can't we just apologize to Dal Nim,
and compensate her with money?
Are you being serious?
Dal Nim's father died because of that incident.
But he's already dead, and we need to continue on with our lives.
What if something bad happens to Mom?
What should we do?
Mom, every day is complete torture.
I feel so uneasy.
I guess this is why people don't commit crimes.
It's so tormenting to have to deceive Ruby.
Stop being so weak.
Can you live without her?
You said you sincerely love her.
Yes, I do. That's why I'm saying it hurts to have to lie to her.
I really don't want to break up with her.
Why would you break up with her?
If you break up with Ruby,
you'll only be doing Dal Nim a favor.
Do you think I don't know that? But what can I do?
It's only a matter of time before Ruby finds out.
When Ms. Cha holds the press conference,
things will get really chaotic.
She'll have to resign from her position.
Do you think Sun Ho will be able to hold strong...
even when Choigo Foods is put in jeopardy?
Yes, you're right. He'll need your help...
in order to protect Choigo Foods.
You're the major shareholder.
If we save Choigo Foods for him,
I'm sure he'll change his mind.
Grandma, how do you feel?
I'm okay.
What about Dal Nim? How's she doing?
When I think about...
the pain she must've gone through because of me,
I feel sorry for even asking about how she's doing.
I think she needs some time.
I think so too.
She's probably too shocked to do anything.
But it'd be nice if she realizes how sorry your grandmother is.
If we set things right,
I'm sure she'll understand you in the end.
If I had met Oh Sang Beom...
when he came to see me,
he might've been able to avoid getting into a car accident.
You weren't even at home.
No one knew he'd get into a car accident.
And if Director Hyun had told us about the accident,
things wouldn't even have come this far.
If you knew about the accident,
I know you wouldn't have turned a blind eye on the situation.
I'm sure Director Hyun didn't tell her on purpose.
He was busy trying to hide the fact that he stole the patent.
I can't do this.
I should meet Dal Nim's mother...
before I confess everything to the press.
I should meet Dal Nim's mother,
and apologize to her first.
Don't worry. We already knew this would happen.
I don't want to disappoint Dal Nim anymore.
Let's go.
Mom, where are you going at this hour?
Mother, are you going outside?
You haven't eaten a thing today, so I'm making porridge for you.
She's going to see Dal Nim's mother.
She wishes to apologize to her first.
We'll be back.
Dal Nim, you're here.
What were you doing?
I was looking at your dad's photo.
He keeps appearing in my dreams these days.
I guess he's worried about us in paradise.
Even if I were to be born again, I would want to meet your dad.
He loved and cared so much for both of us.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
I even thought about not telling you at all.
But I felt like you should know.
Mom, whatever I say, try not to get too shocked.
What is it?
I won't be shocked, so just tell me.
You were right.
Dad's technique was stolen by Director Hyun,
and Ms. Cha kept quiet about it.
What? Are you sure you're not mistaken?
But Ms. Cha said she had nothing to do with that.
Here, look. It's dad's name.
Director Hyun secretly stamped...
Dad's fingerprint on this contract.
What...
Mom.
Hello, Ms. Cha.
We came to see Dal Nim's mother.
Just a moment.
How could you do this?
You told us you had nothing to do with this.
I want you to bring my husband back! Bring him back to life!
- Mom. - If he hadn't died,
Dal Nim wouldn't have had to go through all this.
She wouldn't have gotten wrongly accused and gone to prison.
This is all because of you!
Because of you, my husband died,
and Dal Nim's life became so miserable.
- Mom. - I'm sorry.
I'd like to apologize.
What difference does your apology make?
Just because you beg for forgiveness on your knees,
it doesn't mean my dead husband is going to come back to life.
Do you know how much Dal Nim...
had to go through because her dad died?
Because she had to pay back her father's debt,
she couldn't even go to college.
She worked all day doing things that even men had a hard time doing.
She had all sorts of cuts and scars from working with knives.
I can't even express with words...
how much Dal Nim had do suffer.
Mom.
You practically even stole Dal Nim's life from her.
Your apology isn't going to change...
Dal Nim's life that was ruined by you.
What are you doing to do about my poor Dal Nim?
Get out right now.
Get out! I will never forgive you!
I can't forgive you.
I think you should take her back today.
Honey. Honey.
- Mom. - Grandma, let's go.
Don't even ask. Mom even got on her knees.
Really?
But Dal Nim's mother still didn't forgive her?
She's so mean.
You're supposed to apologize until the opponent forgives you.
It's not a sincere apology if you just do it to make yourself at ease.
But still...
Mother's an old woman. What if something bad happen to her?
This is all because of Dal Nim.
You don't even know anything.
It's not because of Dal Nim. It's because of Se Na.
This all happened because Se Na used this as a threat.
What? What are you talking about?
What did she do?
She found out that Mom kept quiet about...
Director Hyun having stolen the meat aging technique.
Then she used that to threaten Sun Ho.
Do you understand?
Sun Ho only announced his marriage because of Se Na's threat.
What?
- I... I can't believe this. - There's more.
She even told Dal Nim...
that her father's meat aging technique had gotten stolen...
before anyone else.
That's why Mom missed her chance to ask her for forgiveness.
Grandma, shouldn't you go to the hospital?
Sun Ho,
I'm sorry for burdening you.
Don't say that.
I knew this would one day come back and haunt me.
Even if the world spins backwards,
karma will always remind you of what you did.
In order to restore my wrongdoing,
I did my best to stay diligent and honest as an entrepreneur.
But I'm just back at the starting point.
You can't become weak-minded, Grandma.
You did your best to lead Choigo Foods to become the best.
That effort you put in won't go anywhere.
That will surely come back to you one day.
So you need to stay strong, and cheer up.
Sun Ho.
Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.
Okay, go ahead.
After I finish the press conference tomorrow,
I'm going to resign from my chairwoman position.
Grandma.
We need to begin again at the starting point.
That's the only way we'll be able to go forward.
Do you understand?
Yes.
(Chairman Cha Bok Nam's Honest Confession)
I'm standing here today...
to reveal the truth regarding Choigo Ham's...
meat aging technique patent.
16 years ago,
our company was just a small dumpling factory.
Now, our sales is number one in the food industry,
and we've managed to become a leading company.
The biggest contributor that made all of this become possible...
was Choigo Ham.
Everyone in the country...
showed their love for Choigo Ham.
Not only did it taste nice, but it was also sold at a cheap price.
And that was possible because of our meat aging technique.
That meat aging technique...
didn't actually belong to us.
Someone else worked very hard to develop that technique,
and we stole that from him.
- What? - My gosh.
Back then, our company was about to go bankrupt.
So in order to save the company,
I decided to keep quiet,
even though...
I knew that the technique had been stolen from somebody.
This patent transfer contract,
in possession of our company, was fabricated.
The person who actually developed the meat aging technique...
is Mr. Oh Sang Beom, who sadly passed away many years ago.
I was mistaken for thinking that this was the only way to...
save our company from bankruptcy.
Because of that, I ended up hurting Mr. Oh Sang Beom and his family.
And I'd like to sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart.
I'll receive any kind of...
legal punishment that I may have to face.
I'm also going to give a part of my shares...
to the company.
And from this moment on, I'm going to...
take full responsibility for this matter,
and resign from the chairwoman position.
What just happened at Ms. Cha's press conference?
What if this affects me as well?
They say "Opportunities are found in times of crisis."
Let's use this opportunity to take full control of Choigo Foods.
Directory Hyun.
Instead of staying at Food and Top,
don't you want to become the CEO of Choigo Foods?
The CEO of Choigo Foods?
It won't be as easy as it sounds.
If we use this chance, we can make it happen.
CEO Hyun Jung Soo.
It'd be great if that could happen.
Do you have a plan?
You just need to make the directors get angry at this situation.
I'll take care of the rest.
I don't need to do that.
The directors are already very angry.
They'll do what they need to even if I don't say anything to them.
You'll get abandoned by Ms. Yoon.
You won't regret siding with me.
Let me think about what's going to be best for me.
I'll give you a call once I'm done thinking.
My gosh, our stock price is plummeting.
The investment regarding our factory in China also got canceled.
Some people even started boycotting our products,
so stores keep returning our products.
The banks that gave loans to our company...
will soon begin to pressure us to collect their money.
The board of directors will also call for an emergency meeting.
I was always a puppet CEO, so it doesn't really matter.
But I'm worried about you, Sun Ho.
We knew this was coming.
I already prepared for the worst,
so we can just get ready to start all over again from the bottom.
We can knock over an old house and build a new one if there's a ground.
So if our company stands strong,
we'll be able to fix everything else.
With that mindset, you'll be able to do anything.
I know you're my son.
But there are times when you really seem dashing.
I'm so proud of you, Sun Ho.
I'm so disappointed in Ms. Cha.
Me too. Ms. Cha used to be my role model.
I feel like I got scammed even when I didn't get anything stolen.
She did commit fraud, to be exact.
She fooled the whole country.
But since she's the chairwoman of a huge company,
she'll probably settle by paying a fine or get put on probation.
You're really knowledgeable about those kind of things.
I am disappointed,
but she still admitted to her past wrongdoing and apologized.
I give her a lot of credit for that.
I don't think we should just criticize her.
Anyone can make mistakes during their lives.
No one's perfect.
I think it's more important for a person to...
repent on what they did and never make the same mistake again.
It may be hard to forgive her,
but I think we should still give her a chance to apologize.
Why aren't you eating anything?
You should at least eat some porridge.
Dal Nim will get upset if she sees you like this.
You should cheer up for Dal Nim.
Yes, you're right.
I should get back on my feet for Dal Nim.
I'm her mother, but I'm of no help at all.
I'm just a burden to her.
Don't say that.
You're giving her strength by staying by her side.
You should eat this before it gets cold.
Here.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Ms. Kang, thank you so much.
Thank you for raising Dal Nim with your love.
I'll repay you for that even after I die.
What brings you here, Mother?
Is it true that you used Mother's weakness to threaten Sun Ho?
Were you really going to expose Mother's past?
Mother, please don't be mistaken.
That's not what I was trying to do.
After finding out about Sun Ho's feelings towards Dal Nim,
I just wanted to stop him from liking her more.
Why do you think I even went that far?
Do you think I was really going to expose Ms. Cha's past?
I tried to convince Sun Ho,
and I even begged him to stop. But nothing worked.
So that's why I threatened him.
I wanted to do whatever it took to turn his heart around.
I even gave him a chance to cover everything up.
But he just ended up convincing...
Ms. Cha to hold a press conference.
Sun Ho's the one who took things too far...
when he could've just buried everything.
I see. Now, I finally understand why you had to do what you did.
I'm glad I resolved my misunderstanding towards you.
Having held the press conference isn't entirely bad.
The ill-fated relationship between both families have become public.
So regardless of how much Sun Ho likes Dal Nim,
he'll never be able to get married to her.
The company's going to face a crisis soon.
You're the only person I can trust.
I'm so glad that you're the major shareholder.
Please do me a favor, and protect Sun Ho.
Thank you for trusting me.
By the way, you also know...
about Se Kang and Dal Nim's past, don't you?
Yes, I do. Ruby's the only one who doesn't know.
I don't want Se Kang and Ruby to get a divorce.
The past is just the past.
And if they break up, they'll only be doing Dal Nim a favor.
That's exactly my point.
So I've been thinking.
What do you think about sending Se Kang and Ruby to a branch abroad?
Why did you want to see me?
What's going to happen with my wife's medical malpractice lawsuit?
You told me that you'll help.
I only got rid of the hard drive back then...
because I trusted you.
The lawyer in charge is taking care of that lawsuit.
But it's not getting anywhere.
Nothing's changed since back then.
He won't even pick up the phone. He keeps avoiding me.
My gosh, that can't be. He's probably busy with other cases.
I'll call and talk to him.
Don't worry.
But the winning rate of malpractice lawsuits in Korea is very low,
which means your wife isn't in a very advantageous position.
So you shouldn't get your hopes up too much.
That's not what you promised.
That's not what you said when you were asking me for a favor.
Back then, you promised that my wife will win the case.
That's why I got rid of everything in the hard drive.
But how can you act like this now?
Okay. Why are you getting angry?
I'll try to figure something out with your wife's lawyer.
Don't worry too much, and go back.
The lawsuit will turn out fine. Don't worry.
Mr. Hong, if you break our promise, I'm really not going to stand still.
Okay. Don't worry.
How arrogant.
What is he going to do to me?
My goodness. My gosh.
- Where's Ms. Cha? - Tell her to come out right now!
Why are you doing this?
What's all this fuss about?
Ms. Cha, how can you just resign from your position...
after causing the company so much trouble?
How can you manage your business like that?
If you stole a patent, you should've kept it a secret forever.
You shouldn't have stolen it if you weren't going to keep it a secret.
What in the world were you thinking...
when you decided to bring up an incident that happened 16 years ago?
Our stock prices have become worthless.
You've lost us so much money.
I'm sorry. I'm very ashamed about everything.
I'm sure Sun Ho will do a good job in leading the company.
So don't worry too much.
He's just a young director. What do you expect from him?
How can you just take his side like that?
Do you think of our company as a toy?
You had your fun with it.
So have you decided to throw it away not that it's time for you to leave?
Watch what you say.
My mother dedicated her entire life to the company.
Stay out of this, you puppet CEO!
You should resign as well.
I'm going to get rid of everyone in this family from the company.
Who do you think you are to tell me to resign or not?
My gosh, you should be calming them down.
Don't anger them.
Do you even know how much my mother suffered?
You should think of it in her shoes!
Why did she even do that in the first place?
Why do we need to lose money because of your past wrongdoing?
You acted as if you cared so much about the company...
and the employees.
But that's all just nonsense!
What?
What did you guys just say?
How dare you say that?
- You jerk! - You punk!
- How can you say that? - Stop it.
- Come over here. - My goodness.
- What's going on? - You little punk.
- Get off me! - My gosh.
Did you use the press conference to cancel your marriage?
Don't be mistaken.
I never wanted to get married to Se Na in the first place.
Because I'm busy with what happened to my grandmother,
I haven't been able to tell Aunt Ruby about anything.
But Aunt Ruby and Uncle Se Kang will soon get a divorce as well.
Uncle Se Kang will get kicked out of our house.
I guess he wants to go to war.
Fine, bring it on.
Eun Jung.
- How's Mother? - She has absolutely no strength.
What if something bad really happens to her?
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
Why isn't Sun Ho picking up his phone?
Ruby, I met with Se Na today.
What did she say?
Was she really planning on exposing Mom's past?
No. She said she just wanted to stop Sun Ho from liking Dal Nim.
She had no intentions of exposing Mother's past.
She never really wanted to threaten him.
But I don't think she had a choice...
since Sun Ho wouldn't listen to her.
I knew it.
She's not someone who would threaten him without having a good reason.
Yes, Mother.
How's your mother doing?
I called because I got worried about her.
Don't even ask.
The directors came to our house and threw a fit.
Are you serious?
Does Sun Ho know about that?
I tried calling him, but he won't pick up.
Sun Ho's with Dal Nim right now.
I saw him consoling her.
He's with Dal Nim?
Okay, Mother. I'm going to hang up now.
What? I thought he went out because he had something to take care of.
Was that because he wanted to meet Dal Nim?
He's apparently consoling Dal Nim right now.
How can he go see her when his own grandmother's bedridden?
I can't stand this anymore.
What are you going to do?
Don't stop me.
We can't just let Sun Ho continue doing this.
I'm going to go there and drag him back home.
What a disaster.
I can't take Ms. Cha's shares.
My mom won't take them either.
Taking her shares will mean that we forgive her.
Just think of it as a payment...
for having used your father's patent.
It was something your father should've gotten anyway.
I know we can't compensate everything with money.
But please take it as a sign of our atonement.
If you care about Ms. Cha at all,
don't just say no.
You should talk about it with your mother.
Okay, I'll talk about it with my mom.
Thank you.
By the way, I saw Uncle Se Kang...
meeting with Mr. Yang from the Data Processing Team.
Mr. Yang?
Did he meet him for the original photo of Se Na wearing the bracelet?
They talked about the hard drive.
I think Mr. Yang has the original photo.
Really?
He said he destroyed the hard drive in exchange for asking...
Uncle Se Kang to take care of a lawsuit.
He threatened him and said he won't stand still...
if he doesn't take care of the lawsuit.
Back when I tried to check if the hard drive could be restored,
I was told that the data had been damaged twice.
So I thought both damages were done by Se Na.
But I thought about it after hearing what Mr. Yang said.
I know it was Se Na who damaged it the first time around.
But I think Mr. Yang was the one who did the secondary damage.
If he actually saved a backup of the original photo,
he could be using that to threaten Se Kang.
That makes sense.
Mr. Yang wouldn't have trusted Se Kang that easily.
He probably kept something to protect himself later on.
I need to meet Mr. Yang right now.
Wait. No good will come out of acting rashly.
He's right. We need to be careful.
We can't let Se Na find out.
We need to approach him without her knowing.
I'll look into it a bit more for now.
Let's follow what Sun Ho says.
It might be our one and only evidence.
We need to be as careful as we can.
Okay. Then please look into it a bit more, Director Choi.
How's Ms. Cha doing?
She's a strong woman. She'll overcome this.
I'm just worried that your mother's condition got worse.
You should take good care of her.
Ms. Yoon's helping out a lot.
Sun Ho, what are you doing here?
Aunt Ruby.
The directors came to our house and threw a fit.
But what are you doing here?
Is it your job to take care of Dal Nim's problems?
The directors came? What do you mean?
I want you to answer my question right here.
Do you like Dal Nim?
Aunt Ruby.
Why are you doing this? Let's talk at home.
Let me go!
Dal Nim needs to know too.
We all know why Se Na threatened you.
She's trying to stop you from keep liking Dal Nim.
Does it makes sense for you to like her?
How can you like Jae Hee's murderer?
She didn't kill Jae Hee.
Dal Nim's innocent. She was wrongly framed.
What?
Do you actually believe that?
You're being fooled right now. You need to wake up!
You're the one who's being fooled.
You're the one who really needs to wake up.
What? What did I do?
Chef Jung.
Se Kang used to be engaged to Dal Nim.
He wanted to become a son-in-law of a rich family,
so he abandoned Dal Nim and got married to you.
What... What...
What are you talking about?
Is he telling the truth?
I want you to hear it from you. Hurry up, and answer me.
Were you really engaged to Se Kang?
Yes, it's true.
(Sweet Enemy)
How could you have been engaged to Dal Nim?
You also got used by Se Na.
Everything's over now!
I'm going to get rid of everything that gets in my way.
- I'm going to get a divorce. - Where did Ruby go?
