Excuse me, I'm looking for a missing person. Please take a look.
Please take a look at this.
She's my mom, and her name is Kang Soon Hee.
Mom. Mom!
Let me go! It's my mom.
It's my mom. She's right there!
Please get a hold of yourself. She's not your mother!
Do you think you'll be able to find her by doing this?
Why are you being such a fool?
This is all because of you!
Why did you do that?
Why did you point me out as the culprit?
Why?
If it weren't for you, my mom wouldn't have disappeared.
This is all because of you!
Take a look at yourself.
You've fallen in despair, and you're struggling to get out.
Do you think you'll be able to find your mother like this?
Mind your own business. Who are you to care?
You're falling into a deep pit that has no end.
If you're going to continue falling like this, then go ahead.
But weren't you the one who told me to hit the bottom and come back up?
If you have the strength for resentment and despair,
then hit the bottom and come back up again.
Get back on your feet,
find your mother,
and uncover the truth...
with your own power.
If that day ever comes,
then that's when I'll beg for your forgiveness.
But before that,
I'm not going to apologize to you.
Please come back to where you belong.
Don't run away...
just to ruin yourself.
Stay where you belong,
and confront the situation head to head,
just like how you always have. Do you understand?
Now, all that's left is your choice.
What brings you here so suddenly?
Take a look at this.
- What's this? - It's a CCTV footage...
of Dal Nim's mother at a bus station near the restaurant.
I heard she came...
all the way to the restaurant and left without meeting Dal Nim.
Did you know about this by any chance?
My gosh, of course not.
I'm hearing this from you right now.
Jae Wook apparently knew, but he didn't even tell me about it.
He was scared that I'd find her first.
Really?
I had no idea.
You just wait and see. I'll soon be able to find Dal Nim's mother.
(Mom)
Hey, Mom. What's going on?
What?
Ms. Yoon found out about everything?
What have you done until now?
You should've done everything you could...
to find her already.
Haven't you heard anything from Jo Byung Soo yet?
Mom, I'm already so busy with the development of our new product.
Can't you take care of that on your own?
Why isn't he coming?
Did you hear anything about Ms. Kang?
- Did you find any clue? - No.
Why is a detective agency having so much trouble finding someone?
You said you've confirmed that she took the bus.
That bus is an intercity bus,
which means she's outside of Seoul. I told you this already.
I'm looking for her near the bus route, but it's not easy.
Then why did you come?
I told you not to come before you find her.
I'm doing my best to find her right now.
I want to find her more than you do.
Of course, you do.
You'd want to find her because your source of money has disappeared.
Why would you say it like that?
It's not just because of money.
People get worried even when their pet goes missing.
I've become attached to her after living with her for four years.
So what's your point?
Please help me. I'm short on money.
I'll give you money when you bring Ms. Kang.
I won't give you a single penny before you do.
Get out. Get out of here right now.
Where do you think I'll go if you kick me out like this?
What will you do if I go see the CEO of Hyunsung Holdings?
- What? - Why?
Do you think I won't?
Why would you go there?
"The culprit that killed your daughter isn't Oh Dal Nim."
How do you think she'll react if I tell her this?
Have you gone crazy?
If you say that to anyone, you won't be safe either.
You'll end up in prison for perjury.
Whatever! I'll go to prison if I have to!
I don't have anything to lose anyway!
My goodness.
Are you trying to make us all die or what?
I'm saying this so I can live!
I can't do anything these days because I don't have any money!
Okay, fine. I can't give you any money right now.
So just give me some time.
I'm sorry for yelling.
I'll wait for your call.
My gosh, what am I going to do with that money spender?
He's become so bold.
Mom. He came here because of Dal Nim's mom, right?
Did you hear anything from him?
I don't know where she is.
There's no news about her yet.
I feel so sorry for Dal Nim's mother.
This all happened because of me.
Wait.
I'm sure I've seen that caregiver before.
Where did I see him?
What?
Is this a blackout? What's going on?
Music, cue.
Honey, is today a special day?
Why are you doing this?
Today's a very special day for us.
Honey, I'm really sorry,
but I'm not in the mood for this.
Today's the day that I'm going to get pregnant with our baby.
The doctor told us to do our homework on this day.
- "Homework"? - Yes.
Is today the day with a high success rate?
But honey, I'm really not in the mood to...
- Honey. - My gosh, I remember now!
My goodness.
That caregiver's name is Jo Byung Soo.
What was that?
Oh, gosh. Honey, I'm so sorry.
You totally killed the mood.
What's wrong with you?
Yes, he's Jo Byung Soo. He's the witness...
If you have the strength for resentment and despair,
then hit the bottom and come back up again.
Get back on your feet,
find your mother,
and uncover the truth...
with your own power.
Please come back to where you belong.
Stay where you belong,
and confront the situation head to head,
just like how you always have.
Do you understand?
Dal Nim.
Hi, Dong Jae.
I'm glad you're back, Dal Nim.
We really wanted you to come back.
Do you know how much work we had to do while you were gone?
I'm sorry.
If you're sorry, don't cause us inconvenience...
and do a good job.
Let me apologize to you...
by treating you guys to snacks today.
You're quite witty.
Give that to us. We'll do that.
Chef.
I knew you'd come back.
Thank you for coming back.
I looked into the medicine you gave me last time.
What kind of medicine is it?
It consisted of tranquilizers...
and the medicine to suppress one's brain activity.
It seems to have an effect on the frontal lobe or the hippocampus,
which means it has something to do with memory.
Then does that mean it's a medicine that represses one's memory?
If you look at the medical record,
it says this patient has hysterical amnesia.
This patient received surgery because she had injured her head.
But the hospital wrote that...
she must've gotten amnesia from psychogenic reasons,
not because of the surgery or injury.
But that makes no sense.
Ms. Ma wasn't the one who received surgery.
But why was this medicine in her room?
And if the patient has amnesia,
she should be taking medicine to help her recover her memory.
Why would she take something to repress that?
You said you think you heard...
your mother's voice at Ms. Ma's house, right?
Yes.
But if my mom took that medicine,
that means she can't remember anything.
Maybe that's why she just left without recognizing you...
even when she came all the way to the restaurant.
Then are you saying that my mom's the one who received surgery?
She called me with an urgent voice on the day of your first trial.
That might be related to some kind of an accident.
If she received surgery because she had gotten into an accident,
that would fit all the puzzles into place.
But I'm still not sure why Ms. Ma put her through surgery...
under her name.
Maybe she had a good reason to hide her.
Something that we don't know about.
I can only imagine how much my mom must've suffered.
This all happened because I couldn't stay by her side.
Mom...
Dal Nim.
I need to find her. What should I do?
I need to find her first...
before she goes through anything else.
(New Product Development Proposal)
But what's this?
Is there more evidence?
No.
Sun Ho told me to give that to you when you come back.
This is...
Read it over carefully, and give it a good thought.
Sun Ho's giving you an opportunity.
Do you need to work overtime again?
Are things not going well with the new product?
It's not easy. I'll see you after work.
Mom. Mom!
What are you doing here when you should be going to work?
Mom, what's going on?
Why is Jo Byung Soo the caregiver of Dal Nim's mom?
He's the witness of the incident.
Did you think leaving me out of this would prevent me from finding out?
Why would he be Dal Nim's mother's caregiver?
Wait.
Did Jo Byung Soo point out Dal Nim...
as the culprit in court, not because...
he was mistaken about Se Na,
but because...
you paid him to make a false statement?
Tell me the truth!
- No, that's not it. - Mom!
Then was I supposed to just sit back and watch Se Na get locked up?
I only did that to save both you and Se Na.
I really had no other choice back then.
Was hiding Dal Nim's mother not enough for you?
How can you ask him to make a false statement in court?
What else do I not know?
How much more have you done behind my back?
That's it. There's nothing more.
Mom!
Yes, that's right. I'm your mom.
As a mom, there's nothing I can't do for my children.
I started this knowing that I'll end up in a fiery pit.
So just shut your mouth, and go to work.
Going to work isn't important right now.
Stop it already, Se Kang.
You being like this isn't going to change anything.
Do you want the truth to be revealed...
so that you can break up with Ruby...
and get kicked out of the company?
Plus, you're in no position to get angry.
You're the one who lost Dal Nim's mother.
From now on, you better stay still and not do anything.
You sometimes seem like someone who's determined to ruin all of us.
What did you say? Why do you think I'm being like this?
Don't even talk about Jo Byung Soo from now on.
I'm so nervous that you might make a mistake again.
My gosh, stop fighting.
Fighting with each other won't solve anything.
If you have time for this,
why don't you just go look for Dal Nim's mother?
You little...
You guys should go to work.
I'll take care of the rest. Go on.
Go on. Go to work.
Why isn't this jerk picking up his phone?
Please leave a message after the beep.
My gosh, what a headache.
Come in.
- What's going on? - Ms. Oh is here to see you.
- Tell her to come in. - Okay.
Please sit down.
What's this?
You must know if you've looked over it.
If you succeed in developing the new product,
the company will fund you...
with the advertisement of your missing mother.
We'll help you advertise it on TV,
the internet, the four main daily newspapers, magazines,
and any other media you wish to advertise it on.
As you already know, I'm a business man, not a charity worker.
I don't do anything that won't benefit me.
The current development of the new product isn't going very well.
The new product development is...
a very important project for our company.
It's also an important business that will help me...
earn everyone's trust as a newly reinstated director.
We're both equally desperate to achieve something.
I'm suggesting we should cooperate for both of us.
You're as desperate as I am...
to find your mother, aren't you?
I'll do it.
Like you just said, I'm very desperate right now.
I need to do anything I can to find my mom.
I'll take this offer. I'll do it.
Instead, please keep your promise if I succeed.
I'm glad we came to an agreement. I look forward to working with you.
I hope you'll succeed.
This is the only thing...
I can do for you, Dal Nim. I'm sorry.
I'm sure this won't amount to the hardship...
you're going through right now.
An advertisement to help her look for her mother?
You gave her a chance on the terms of helping her look for her mother?
The fact that you gave her a chance...
means that you can't trust me.
I cannot accept this as a team manager.
It's not a bad strategy for our company.
The new product development isn't going anywhere right now.
It would be great if she succeeds,
but we won't lose much even if she doesn't.
How can you not be considerate of me at all?
What about my pride?
How can you not know that you'll only be hurting my pride...
as the team manager of this team...
if you give a chance to Ms. Oh Dal Nim?
You shouldn't approach this emotionally.
This is a business. We need to give and take what we need.
"A business"?
I didn't give Ms. Oh a chance...
just so I can hurt your pride.
I have a responsibility to make this project successful no matter what.
You already know that our company's not doing very well financially.
If this project doesn't succeed,
the board members won't be happy.
Not only will my position be threatened,
but it could also have an effect on the chairwoman too.
If that's what you want, then go ahead.
I'll just recover my pride on my own.
I'm going to succeed...
and clearly show you that I'm the one you need to keep...
by your side.
You're not expecting...
to win on developing a new product, right?
You should give up,
and just go back to handing out flyers to look for your mother.
I think that suits you way better than this.
Why? Are you scared?
The scared ones are always the ones to talk more.
What?
You're just too bold.
How dare you challenge me...
just so you can find your mother?
I'm going to beat you...
and find my mom.
I don't believe anything you guys say to me.
Do you think I don't know that you guys are hypocrites...
who are hiding behind your masks?
I'm going to find my mom and uncover the truth.
I'm going to uncover what you did to my mom,
and why she had to disappear.
I'm going to find out the truth.
I'm going to take off...
those masks you guys are wearing.
An advertisement to look for your mother?
In your dreams.
You'll never be able to beat me...
because I don't plan on losing.
Let's sharpen our swords and fight.
But let me warn you that it'll hurt if you get stabbed on with my sword.
Mother.
Here you go.
- What's this? - Open it.
My gosh.
This is the bag I had to return.
- Did you buy this for me? - Yes.
My gosh, I don't know if I can take this from you.
My gosh, Eun Jung.
It's gift from your daughter-in-law. What's wrong with taking it?
She's right. You don't need to get a refund this time. You can keep it.
My gosh, thank you. I'll use this well.
I'm going to boast to everyone that I got this from my daughter-in-law.
I'm really glad that you like it.
Mother, please tell me if there's anything you want...
or would like to do from now on. I'll do everything for you.
Just hearing you say that makes me want to let out a scream of joy.
I'm being serious.
To be honest,
I heard about how you and Father got married to each other.
Mother, you must've gone through so much until now.
I promise to treat you better from now on.
My goodness. That's so nice of you.
Eun Jung, your life's going to get a lot better...
when Se Na finally becomes your daughter-in-law.
By the way, about your marriage...
Sun Ho wants to take it slow,
but that's not how we think.
It's better to get married as quickly as possible.
That's also what I want.
Sun Ho's been a bit off...
after Dal Nim came back, right?
It's all because he's a bit too inflexible.
I'll take care of everything...
regarding your marriage with your mother.
Give me your hands.
Instead,
you must succeed in developing the new product no matter what.
Sun Ho won't be able to say much to you...
if you succeed and get a good response.
Do you understand what I mean?
Yes, Mother. I'll make sure to succeed.
Come in.
Mr. Hyun is here.
Hello.
I heard a lot about you from Ms. Hong.
Nice to meet you. I'm Hyun Jung Soo. Thank you for calling me.
- Please sit down. - Okay.
I'm sure you've heard about everything from Ms. Hong.
Yes, I have.
I lost some money...
in the process of taking over Food and Top.
So I want to cover the loss by increasing the sales...
in a short amount of time.
Do you think you can do that?
Of course. I've taken a look at the materials regarding the company.
It's a small company, but with a little bit of help,
it can become a lot bigger than Choigo Foods.
I don't need a rusty sword.
Please use the best of your abilities...
and take care of everything without making any mistakes.
I understand what you mean. You don't need to worry.
I'm glad we understand each other.
May I also ask you for a favor?
You can talk with my employees...
regarding your position and payment.
We'll do our best to meet your requirements.
That's not what I was going to talk about.
Please take in Hyun Foods. It's my brother's company.
Enlarging the size of your company will...
make you more competitive in this business.
You wish for me to take in a failing company?
Don't you think you should show me what you can do before that?
I'll think about it...
if you show me satisfying results.
How's everything going?
You're here just in time.
Please give this a taste.
I made this broth with organic ingredients.
And this is natural seasoning.
Here.
Does it taste bad?
It's not bad, but it's not the best either.
The broth and seasoning don't go well with each other.
The broth is too bland.
And the seasoning is too salty.
Wait.
It's okay. It's nothing.
What are you talking about?
You're no macho man, but you work all day standing up.
It's not a surprise that your body's reacting like this.
Here. Sit down and take some rest.
- I'm really okay. - My gosh.
I'm just worried that I might have to take you to an emergency room.
If you don't want to make me suffer, just sit down and take some rest.
Go on.
Thank you.
It's okay.
It's not dangerous.
- Why are you laughing? - It's nothing.
When I saw you for the first time,
I thought you were someone who did bad deeds.
"Bad deeds"? How could you think of me like that?
Your bag was filled...
with sharp knives and a hatchet.
Who would think of you as a normal person?
I thought you were an immature jobless person.
How?
You were making instant noodles with a sweatsuit on.
You're really a bad judge of character.
This is why you keep being fooled by people.
You can't even tell what's good from what's bad.
Let's go home now, Ms. Fool. I'll drive you home.
Forget it.
I'll have the car ready.
Hurry up and come out.
Why does he keep calling me a fool?
How's the lock? It's quite useful, right?
Yes, thanks to you.
- Here. - What's this?
It's a list of the five best...
instant noodle restaurants in Korea.
My gosh, thank you so much.
I think it'll help me a lot.
It's my day off tomorrow, so I should try going to these places.
Okay. Good luck.
Okay. Goodbye.
I guess I'll only be eating instant noodles tomorrow.
Mom, just wait a little bit.
We'll be able to meet soon.
I'm going to find you myself.
My gosh, please.
It really isn't easy to come up with a good taste...
just by using natural seasoning.
Gosh, I have a headache.
Don't look down on comic books.
It helps with your imagination.
You need to use your imagination for cooking.
(List of Recommended Instant Noodle Restaurants)
(Sun Ho)
You're here. I waited forever for you.
What are you doing here?
Were you waiting for me?
Isn't it obvious?
Shall we go on an instant noodle tour then?
What are you doing? Let's go.
What? Okay.
Mother, Se Na's here.
Hello, Se Na.
This is what I gave you.
I should take it diligently...
in order to thank you for the gift.
I heard that Ms. Oh's also going to take part in...
the development of the new product.
Yes, things kind of turned out that way.
Sun Ho may have become a director by receiving a unanimous vote...
from the board of directors.
But there are still many people...
who are in support of Director Hyun.
The company's not doing well financially either.
So just a little mistake...
will be enough for them to speak badly of Sun Ho.
You know how important...
this project is to Sun Ho, right?
Yes, of course. I'll succeed with the development...
and help him earn everyone's trust.
But where's Sun Ho?
He left a while ago saying that he's going to eat instant noodles...
at an instant noodle restaurant.
- "An instant noodle restaurant"? - Yes.
Welcome.
- Let's sit over there. - Okay.
Please give us two servings of Couple's Instant Noodles.
Do you know why this restaurant became famous?
They make delicious noodles,
but they actually became famous because of Couple's Instant Noodles.
"Couple's Instant Noodles"?
Apparently, every man and woman who ate noodles here...
ended up dating each other.
That's why this place became so famous.
You could say that they became successful...
by using a love story as their marketing strategy.
Did everyone really succeed in dating each other?
My gosh, it's not important whether it's true or not.
The important point is that they became really successful.
My gosh, if that was true,
no couple in this country would have to break up with each other.
How do you cook with that useless brain of yours?
You really lack the ability to understand things.
You don't cook with your head. You cook with your heart.
How should I put this? It has to come from your sincere...
- What's the word? - Go on.
- The sincerity of... - Here you go.
Please enjoy.
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's stop talking about cooking. Let's eat first.
How does it taste? The soup tastes amazing, doesn't it?
Yes, it's really good.
They must've made this broth with soy sauce.
You're right.
It's sweet and not too salty.
The sweetness and saltiness are in great harmony.
But I don't think this salty taste comes from salt.
What could it be?
That must be the secret recipe of this restaurant.
What are you doing in the middle of eating?
I'm trying to draw the taste.
You're trying to draw the taste?
I thought of this while reading the comic books you lent me.
I thought I should try drawing the kind of taste I imagine in my head.
So did that help? Did you come up with anything?
- Yes. - What did you come up with?
It's a secret.
What? You're making me curious.
Come on. Tell me what it is.
What is it?
(Hong Se Na)
What is it? Just tell me.
Come on.
Just eat your instant noodles.
(Song Instant Noodles)
Why aren't you coming?
Just a second.
I tied them nice and tight...
so that they won't become loose again.
Shall we go to the next instant noodle restaurant?
Okay.
- Here. - Thanks.
I should go home and practice.
I paid for all your instant noodles.
That means I invested my precious money on you.
You better work hard,
so that I won't think of it as a waste.
Okay, sure. I'll cut down on sleep and do my best.
But don't work too hard and get a nosebleed again.
It'll be a loss if you become sick.
You won't be able to do anything, let alone do any research.
Why do you keep going back and forth?
Anyway, good luck. I'll go now.
Okay, bye.
What are you doing here?
Dal Nim.
How dare you covet my man?
He's way out of your league.
Don't pretend to be naive.
I already know that you're hitting on him.
"Hitting on him"? You better watch what you say.
What did you do to him...
to make him kneel down and tie your shoelaces for you?
I can already see how you must've acted...
towards him.
You probably pretended to be the victim...
and made him pity you by saying that you're innocent...
and that you got falsely accused.
Sun Ho must've fell for your fake tears.
First, you seduced Jae Wook and made him turn his back on Ms. Yoon.
And now, you dare to do the same thing to Sun Ho?
This is my last warning.
Stop seducing Sun Ho.
What should I do? Seeing you react like this...
makes me want to try seducing him now.
What did you say?
You also took him from Ms. Jung Jae Hee.
Shut it.
You know better than anyone that I really am innocent,
and that I really did get falsely accused.
This is only the beginning.
So you better watch out.
(Sweet Enemy)
I'd like to postpone the family meeting.
You need to let me breathe so that I can live.
- Oh, no! - I got you!
