Mom, why aren't you sleeping?
Why are you looking at that again? You should get rid of it now.
My goodness, I can't throw this away.
This is the only thing that can help you find your real mother.
I already told you. You're the only mom I have.
She abandoned her own child. She doesn't deserve to be called a mom.
Don't say that. She gave birth to you.
Every time I look at this,
I feel so grateful towards your birth mother.
I also feel very sorry.
Although I brought you in and raised you as my own daughter,
I feel like I only made you suffer.
I didn't do much for you either.
If I were rich,
I would've bought everything...
that Se Kang's mother wants from me without any trouble.
Then you would've been able to get married easily too.
Stop talking nonsense. I know how your raised me.
I'm already grateful that you raised an abandoned child.
Even my birth mother wouldn't have been able to treat me like you did.
My goodness, who would think this hand belongs to a woman?
It's rougher than a bark of a tree.
Look at all these scars you got from using knives all the time.
I become speechless...
every time I look at your hands.
I'm proud of my hands.
They're proof that I lived a diligent life.
It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's something to be proud of.
So don't ever say anything like that again.
If you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry at you.
I must've lived a great life in my past life.
I got lucky and got you as my daughter.
I'm sure your baby is going to bring you luck too.
Everything will be fine.
Like you said, my baby will bring us great luck.
So don't worry and get some sleep.
Okay, I will.
You should sleep too.
(Episode 7)
- I'm home. - Sun Ho, you're here.
- Are coming from the hospital? - Yes.
How is Ms. Hong doing?
The doctor said she'll be able to get discharged tomorrow.
Did someone get hurt?
There was a small accident in the development lab.
Sun Ho would've gotten hurt...
if it weren't for Ms. Hong. She jumped in and got hurt instead.
My gosh, are you serious?
What happened to the person who got hurt? Is she okay?
She got a burn on her arm.
But they said she'll be okay once she gets treated.
What a relief.
What about you? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
By any chance, are you talking about Ms. Hong Se Na?
How do you know her?
Of course, I know her. We said hi to each other at the launching show.
Wait. So are you saying...
Ms. Hong is at a hospital because she got hurt instead of you?
Yes, that's right.
My gosh. You should've told me that earlier. Why are you telling me now?
I can't just stay still. Should I go visit her at the hospital?
- My gosh. - Hey.
- Why are you making a big fuss? - What?
Well...
Sun Ho is the eldest grandson of this family.
She got hurt while trying to save him,
so it's natural for me to be worried. How can I not be?
My goodness.
I'm so tired. I'm going to go to my room now.
My gosh, what a passionate woman.
Do you think it'll make a difference if you sacrifice your body...
and save him?
Do you think he'll start liking you and cancel his marriage?
I have my own problems, but so do you.
Stop worrying about me. What are you going to do with Choi Ruby?
Do you think she'll let you live if she finds out that you're cheating?
If things go wrong, you might even end up losing your job.
Gosh, don't be so harsh. I'm going to end things.
With who? Dal Nim or Ruby?
Who do you think?
She's pregnant with my baby. What can I do?
I should just think of Ruby as my midsummer night's dream.
When did you start dating Ruby anyway?
You also fell in love with Sun Ho at first sight, didn't you?
That's what happens.
Sparks fly in mere seconds.
When are you going to tell Mom?
Not today.
I'll tell her once you get discharged.
Take care of yourself. I'm going to go now.
Okay? Call me if you need anything.
Se Kang's life would be completely different if Dal Nim wasn't around.
(Dal Nim's Restaurant)
Dal Nim, I'm going to go outside to take care of some errands.
Heat the stew and eat it while it's warm.
Where did she go so early in the morning?
Yes, sir.
Really? My gosh, thank you so much.
I'm here to say hi to Ms. Hong. Has she gone somewhere?
She went outside for a while. May I ask who you are?
- I'm... - Wait.
You look familiar.
You starred in "Women Are Crazy", didn't you?
Your name is Choi... Choi Pearl.
Wait. Amber? No.
No, it was a name of a jewel.
It's not Amber. It's Ruby. My name's Choi Ruby.
That's right. You're Choi Ruby.
My goodness, I really enjoyed watching your drama.
Thank you.
But how do you know my daughter to come see her like this?
Are you Ms. Hong's mother?
Yes. I'm Se Na's mom.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
I'm Director Choi Sun Ho's aunt.
His aunt?
Does that mean you're the chairwoman's daughter?
Yes. Chairman Cha Bok Nam is my mom.
She's the daughter of the chairwoman?
When I heard that Ms. Hong got hurt while trying to save Sun Ho,
I was so shocked and surprised.
Everyone in our family is worried about Ms. Hong.
My gosh, thank you. You didn't need to come all the way here.
What are you talking about? Of course, I should pay a visit.
How can I stay still when Se Kang's sister got injured?
- You even know Se Kang? - Yes. I know him well.
How do you know Se Kang?
Oh, I guess he hasn't told you yet.
It's okay for him to tell his family about our relationship.
Se Kang looks out for me too much.
"Our relationship"? What kind of relationship is that?
Ms. Hong.
How do you feel? Are you okay?
What... What are you doing here?
Are you here with Se Kang?
He doesn't know I'm here.
I figured he'd stop me if I told him beforehand,
so I made a surprise visit.
I see. Okay.
I just completed the discharge procedure. Hurry up and get changed.
Se Na has to get discharged now,
so shall we talk more about this after she gets discharged?
Okay.
Mother.
I'm sorry to call you out when you're busy.
No, it's okay. What brings you all the way here?
I came to tell you something.
I see. Let's go somewhere quiet.
No, it's okay. You must be busy.
I'll just leave after I give you this.
It's herbal medicine.
I got you some while getting some for Dal Nim.
What are you doing? Hurry up and take it.
Okay.
I'm sure you already know why I'm here.
After your mother came and talked to me at my restaurant,
I made up my mind to never...
let Dal Nim get married to you.
- I'm sorry. - But...
what can I do now?
We can't make the baby fatherless as soon as it gets born.
Please stay strong, okay?
Please do that for me.
Okay.
- The company is so big and nice. - Right?
- What is she doing here? - What's wrong, Mother?
No... No, it's nothing.
Well, where is Se Kang's office?
- Se Kang's... What? That's Se Kang. - My goodness.
- My goodness. My goodness, my head. - Mother? Mother!
- Mom, what's wrong? - Mother.
Mom. What?
- My goodness. - Let's take her outside first.
- Mother. Mother. - My gosh. My goodness.
- Sit here. - My gosh.
Gosh, I suddenly felt dizzy.
Can you get me some water?
Okay, I'll get you water. Just wait here.
I almost had a heart attack.
Mom, what's wrong? Why did you pretend like you were sick?
I didn't do this because I wanted to.
Did you see that woman with Se Kang?
Do you know who she is?
- She's Dal Nim's mother. - What?
Even her mom's here now? I guess they take turns to visit.
Was Dal Nim here too?
Mom, don't be too surprised.
Dal Nim's pregnant.
- What? She's pregnant? - Be quiet.
Keep it down. Ruby will hear you.
Is she really pregnant? Are you sure she wasn't lying?
Why would she lie about that?
She's not stupid. Why would she lie about something like that?
My gosh. My goodness.
Mother. Mother, are you okay?
Mother.
- Mother. What's wrong? - My goodness. My goodness.
I think she should go home.
Then I'll take her home.
You should go to work.
Okay. Please take her home safely.
Mom, let's talk more about it at home.
I'll go home as soon as possible with Se Kang.
- My goodness. My gosh. - Can you walk, Mother?
- My goodness. My goodness. - Oh, gosh.
Be careful.
Watch your step. Excuse me, Mother.
Hey. Right now?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Mother, I'm sorry. I should stay here and take care of you,
but there's a meeting I have to attend. I think I should go now.
Okay. Thank you for everything you did today.
I'll see you again next time.
- Get some rest. Bye. - Okay. Bye.
What is going on right now?
It seems like she has something special going on with Se Kang.
If he gets lucky, he could become the son-in-law of Choigo Foods.
My gosh. My goodness.
Wait a minute. Dal Nim is pregnant?
I look forward to working with you.
I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
- I'll be off then. - Okay.
- Goodbye, sir. - Okay. See you.
Thank you so much. This is all thanks to you.
It's a good thing for both of us.
Now that you got the deal, I can sell more meat to you.
I need to meet the delivery date, so I'll preorder the meat beforehand.
I'll send you the money in a few days.
- Okay. Bye, then. - Goodbye.
You should go home and rest. Why did you come to work?
Are you here because you want to know the test results?
Yes. I'm glad we got good results.
Me too. There's no need for you to worry anymore, so go home and rest.
You're going home now, right?
I'll ask my driver to drive you home.
No, it's okay. I'm going to go home with Se Kang.
Mom, are you okay? I heard everything from Se Na.
I heard you also met Ruby at the hospital.
What's going on with Dal Nim?
Is it true? Are you sure she's not lying?
Could she be putting on a show just to get my permission?
I'd love it if it was all a lie.
But that's not what it is. Mom, here.
Dal Nim told me to give this to you.
Did she prepare...
a written diagnosis because she was worried that I wouldn't believe her?
My goodness, what a wench.
She said you might actually come around if you see this.
My gosh, you fool.
What a big fool. How could you be so foolish?
Why did you make things worse? What were you thinking?
I'm sorry, Mom.
It happened when I got a free hotel coupon and went to Busan.
My gosh. My goodness.
What do you want me to do? It's driving me crazy too.
Mom, we shouldn't be doing this right now.
What if Ruby finds out that Se Kang has a pregnant girlfriend?
Do you think she'll let him be?
He might even get fired.
If things get worse, even I might get fired.
That's why I'm going to make things straight.
- I'll just marry Dal Nim. - Are you crazy?
She's pregnant. What am I supposed to do?
Do you think she'll stay still if you keep disapproving?
- She'll do whatever it takes. - He's right.
She might even show up at the company and throw a fit.
She even ruined his blind date. She'll easily ruin his career.
If word spreads at the company,
Se Kang and I will get humiliated and lose our jobs.
Like Se Kang said, he needs to get married to Dal Nim.
And hurry up and break up with Ruby as fast as you can.
No. We're so close to getting lucky. Why would we refuse that?
- Mom. - You know who Choi Ruby is.
She's the daughter of Choigo Foods' chairwoman.
He could become the son-in-law of a big firm. He can't miss that chance.
Se Kang, you better get married to Ruby.
I'd love to.
But what about Dal Nim?
I'm sure there will be a way.
If you just end up getting married to her,
we'll both regret it and die early.
Do you or do you not agree with me?
You're right. I agree with you.
Okay, I'll trust that you'll handle things.
What should we do?
I've gathered all the money we have, but we still need more.
Let's cancel our installment savings plan. Once I make the delivery,
I'm getting more money soon.
So I'll ask the owner of the butcher's if he can do me a favor.
Your dad would've been so happy to be here on a day like this.
Just wait. I'm only delivering to just one place right now,
but I'm going to continue to develop the aging method I learned from Dad.
Then I'm going to apply for a patent and make a brand.
I'll work hard, earn lots of money, and I'll let you live in luxury.
I'm also going to do a great job in raising my baby.
- I'll go now. - Have a safe trip.
- Have a safe trip. - Okay.
Mom, should I have gone with him?
It doesn't feel good to see him go alone.
It's not like we never offered to go with him.
Jae Wook said he wants to go alone.
Let him have his way.
I'm sorry for being late.
Did Se Na get discharged?
How's Se Na doing? Is she okay?
Yes, she's okay. She just needs to go to the hospital a few more times.
I'm glad things didn't get worse.
I was so startled to hear that she burned herself.
Thank you for looking out for her.
Let's go get a massage together, Jae Hee.
You're going to get married soon. Why does your face look so rough?
I stayed up all night to write my column. Look at my dark circles.
Let's go shopping after we get a massage.
Let's see what you can wear for the family meeting.
We're going to leave after eating breakfast. Please fix us a meal.
Okay. Just wait here.
Se Na hasn't even recovered fully from her injury.
How dare she talk about a family meeting?
Just wait. When Se Kang becomes the son-in-law of Choigo Foods,
I'm going to make sure...
Se Na gets married to someone way richer than Sun Ho.
In order to do that, I need to get rid of Dal Nim.
Dry-aging requires professional equipment.
But is it true that you don't have any?
- Why are you doing this? - The beef could rot and go bad.
- Please explain. - What's your opinion?
- Please tell us. - Please give us your answer.
- Mom. Mom! - Dal Nim. Dal Nim.
Who are you people? What did you do to my mom?
What? "Exaggerated advertisement" and "no conscience"?
Isn't she the customer that you competed against last time?
Yes, she is.
So are you saying all those journalists came here...
after reading this column?
(Restaurants without a conscience should disappear.)
"Disappear"?
They don't even know anything.
Dal Nim, what's going on?
I heard that journalists came by.
Did you read the column too?
I did. The person who wrote that is apparently a famous blogger.
Remember the restaurant down the street?
That restaurant shut down because...
a blogger revealed that they use American beef.
Really?
The owner of that restaurant must've felt wronged.
Not really. He did fool the customers...
by saying it's Korean beef when it actually was American beef.
But that's not the case for you. You didn't try to fool anyone.
Welcome. Come and sit here.
Wasn't this place reviewed by "Straightforward Food Column"?
- I think so. - Let's go somewhere else.
- Let's go. - Wait...
My gosh. Do you think we also might end up shutting down?
Dal Nim, the restaurant is one thing.
But you might even have to cancel the contract you recently signed.
You need to make things straight no matter what.
That can't happen. We put in so much money to get that contract.
Sir, do you know where I can meet...
this woman named Jung Jae Hee?
Go inside first. I'm going to take this call.
Okay.
- What are you doing here? - Ms. Jung Jae Hee.
Can you read this column again?
Get that out of my face. What are you doing in front of my house?
Did you really...
write this column with nothing but honesty?
If you keep doing this, I'm going to call the police.
The police?
You should be the one to go to the police for lying.
What? Watch your language.
This kind of fabricated column...
belongs in the trash can.
- What do you think you're doing? - Are you okay, Jae Hee?
Who are you? How dare you treat my daughter with no respect?
Let go.
- Mom, stop. - Stay still, Jae Hee.
Do you know what you just did to my daughter?
Do you think you'll be safe even after doing such a thing?
Do you know what your daughter did to my family?
You don't need a knife to kill someone.
Because your daughter lied in her column,
my mom collapsed,
and the restaurant we worked so hard to maintain for years...
is about to lose every single customer and go bankrupt.
You're the one who belongs in the trash can, not Jae Hee's column.
People who have no manners like you deserve to be treated like trash.
Does your mother know that you're doing this right now?
She must've failed to educate you properly.
Don't talk about my mother like that.
You're the one who should educate your daughter properly.
What did you say?
Jae Hee. Mother.
Sun Ho.
- What's going on? - I'm glad you're here.
Do something about this lady.
What are you doing? Put that knife down.
Do you know what this knife is, Ms. Jung Jae Hee?
This knife is used to debone meat.
My dad gave this knife to me...
as he passed away.
This knife shows my father's effort and devotion.
As I butchered meat and cooked at the restaurant with this knife,
I've never done anything that goes against my conscience.
I swear on my dad's name.
"Don't play with meat".
I sold meat honestly, just like how I learned from my dad.
But because of your lie in your column,
my restaurant became a restaurant that has no conscience.
I didn't lie.
I just honestly wrote what I saw and felt.
Can I really trust you?
Can you promise that you really...
wrote that column honestly?
Can you?
You're crossing the line right now.
Apologize to her immediately.
I'll apologize if she does.
She's the one who made a mistake first.
What?
Jae Hee, are you okay?
- Jae Hee. Jae Hee. - My gosh, what should I do?
Her asthma must've relapsed because she was so surprised.
Hurry up and take her inside.
Okay. Let's go, Jae Hee. Come on.
If anything happens to my daughter,
you better be prepared for what's to come.
Why did she suddenly have to be sick?
Was I a bit too harsh on her?
No. It was nothing compared to what she did.
Fine, let's see who's going to win.
What's wrong with Jae Hee? Is she sick?
- Please get her some water. - Okay.
Dal Nim.
Gosh, where were you?
I met that woman, Jung Jae Hee.
You met her?
What did she say?
She thinks she did nothing wrong.
She said she just wrote what she saw and felt.
Just wait, Mom.
I'm going to make her apologize no matter what.
Don't go that far, Dal Nim.
I'm scared that something might happen to you.
You have to think about your baby.
That's more of a reason why I can't stay still.
I want to be a proud mom to my baby.
I can't let go of what happened for my baby's sake.
What are you doing right now?
I'm writing a complaint.
Did you hear from Se Kang's family?
No.
My gosh.
What kind of brainless person did something like this?
Yes?
Hello, how have you been? I'm Dal Nim's mother.
Today?
What should I do? I have a previous engagement.
Then that's too bad.
I'll just go and meet Se Kang, then.
Why do you keep meeting Se Kang?
Okay, I'll see you at your restaurant.
She's beginning to threaten me now.
This is all because of that woman.
Jae Hee showed no symptoms of asthma until now.
She must've been so startled and shocked.
I should teach that woman a lesson.
She might come again and do something worse.
No, it's okay. Don't do that.
How can you say that after what she did to you?
Yes, your mother's right.
We can't just let go of this.
Leave it to me. I'll handle it on my own.
You must've been surprised too, Mother.
I'll stay here. Don't worry. You should go and take some rest.
I'll go now. You should rest up.
Don't worry and rest up.
I'll make sure she never comes near you again.
You don't need to get involved because of me.
Don't say that.
I'm going to be your husband soon.
I'm obligated to protect you.
But why did you come visit me at this hour?
I had business nearby, so I dropped by on my way back.
Then shouldn't you hurry back to work?
No, it's okay. I'll leave after I see you fall asleep.
This is nice.
I guess this is what it feels like to become a married couple.
I now have someone...
who's always going to take my side without questioning me.
You should sleep now.
- How's Jae Hee? - She's better now.
By the way, I thought Jae Hee's asthma was fully cured.
She was fine after high school, so I thought she was okay.
That's exactly what I thought. She must've been so shocked.
I can't believe that happened to her.
I should make her stop writing columns.
What happened?
Some restaurant owner wasn't happy about what Jae Hee wrote...
on her column, so she came all the way to our house and threw a fit.
She was so ill-mannered and rough.
My gosh, I can't believe she did that.
You can't just leave her be.
You need to teach her a lesson.
You never know what she might do again.
Don't worry. Director Choi is going to handle everything.
Please cook some abalone soup for Jae Hee.
Okay.
How dare she mess with my daughter?
I'm getting angrier the more I think about it.
I'm here, Mom.
It's just me again.
(Kim Sun Young)
I'm not ready to...
bring Jae Hee and her mother with me yet.
I wonder...
when I'll be able to visit you with them.
Will that day ever come?
Se Kang. Se Kang. Over here.
Ruby, why did you call me so suddenly?
I'm sorry for calling you out when you're busy.
I'll leave right after I give you this.
What is this?
It's a new product that only came out recently.
I was at the opening of the store in Cheongdam-dong.
And you popped into my head, so I bought you one.
Ruby.
I can't take this.
Why? Don't you like it?
I haven't done anything for you yet.
How can I take something like this?
What do you mean you haven't done anything?
From the moment I met you, every day was full of happiness.
I feel like every day is a gift.
Ruby, you're a great person.
I'm nothing compared to you.
You and I come from very different worlds.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
My dad died when I was young,
so my mom worked as a housemaid...
and did her best to raise me and my sister well.
You might not even be able to understand the world I grew up in.
Because of that, I'm scared.
I'm scared that you might get disappointed and leave.
Se Kang.
To be honest,
my mom works at a place you know very well.
What do you mean?
You know Jae Hee, right?
My mom works as a housemaid at Jae Hee's house.
She and Jae Hee's mother grew up...
in the same neighborhood when they were young.
So she's been working there for a while now.
I see. I didn't know that.
I guess...
it really wasn't a coincidence to meet you.
They say too many coincidental happenings lead to destiny.
You and I were destined to meet each other.
Don't be scared, Se Kang.
I'm never going to leave you.
How can I leave my destiny?
- Ruby. - Thank you, Se Kang.
I know how hard it must've been for you to say something like this.
Thank you for being honest.
You seem more and more like a white canvas.
You're so pure and naive.
I guess...
that's why I keep falling deeper for you.
This is my heart. You're going to accept it, right?
I'll put it on for you.
(Dal Nim's Restaurant)
Being pregnant is not a big deal.
I can't back down here. Of course, I can't.
Hello.
- You're here. - How have you been?
Mother.
My gosh, be careful. What if something happens to the baby?
Are you okay? Did you get hurt?
No, I'm fine.
Please sit down.
I'll get you some drinks.
The baby must know that Dal Nim's going through a hard time.
It's very gentle.
Thankfully, she doesn't have morning sickness,
and she eats well.
My goodness, the baby must take after Se Kang.
That's what I was like when I had Se Kang.
He was so gentle that his nickname was Softy.
You're also looking forward to seeing your grandchild, aren't you?
- Well, I mean... - If I offended you...
last time,
I'd like to apologize.
The baby did nothing wrong.
It should be born with everyone's blessing.
So please can you...
change your mind, Ms. Ma?
I came here today to tell you that...
you can talk to me from now on...
instead of calling Se Kang.
I heard you went to see him at work last time.
He's still a new recruit,
so it'll only bother him at work.
Since we're on that subject,
I honestly even thought about doing a one-man protest...
in front of his company.
My gosh, what are you talking about? Are you threatening me?
I'm not threatening you.
Imagine how frustrated I must've been to think like that.
He didn't come by even when he heard that Dal Nim got pregnant.
As Dal Nim's mother, I couldn't just stand still and do nothing.
For my child's future,
I can do much more than a one-man protest.
My gosh. I get it, so don't ever say anything like that again.
What do you mean?
I'll let them get married.
So please don't go anywhere near Se Kang's workplace.
Mother, are you going to let us get married?
Gosh, how can I disapprove when you're pregnant with his child?
Can I trust you?
You're not going to change your mind again, right?
I'm not that heartless.
I'm also a mother of two kids.
This baby inside her belly...
is my precious grandchild.
I'm not that harsh enough to ignore my own grandchild.
So please don't ever go to Se Kang's workplace again.
- Okay? - Of course, I won't.
There's no reason for me to go there now that you've given your approval.
Don't worry about anything else.
Just worry about the baby, okay?
Okay. Thank you, Mother.
(Sweet Enemy)
She approved of our marriage?
Mom!
Why?
Why did you do that?
- Look at this. - What is it?
I'd like to interview you regarding Jung Jae Hee's column.
I'll put my trust in you.
