It's been decided to stop the development of the new product.
(Episode 64)
What are you talking about?
That can't be possible.
Ms. Hong, are you serious?
I just heard it from the chairwoman herself.
As of this moment, the new product development will officially end.
That doesn't make sense. How can this happen?
It's what the chairwoman wants.
Are you saying you're going to go against her decision?
Da Jung and Mr. Kim. You guys can stop whatever you were working on.
And Ms. Oh, you'll be returning to the restaurant.
So...
Director Choi, is the new product development really coming to a halt?
I just heard about it myself. I was on my way to see the chairwoman.
Then that means the contract and the advertisement will all get canceled.
What about my mom?
Does that mean I won't be able to find my mom?
No, I can't accept this.
Let's go and check with the chairwoman first.
You can't stop the new product development.
It was a decision I had to make for the company.
So I hope you abide by my decision.
Please take it back. If you give me a bit more time,
I'll find out about how the recipe got leaked.
You won't be able to figure that out in just a day or two.
The more time you spend on this, the more money the company will lose.
The board of directors is very upset right now.
We need to show them an alternative.
Ms. Oh, I know you must be...
upset because the product you've developed...
has ended up going to waste. But we have no other choice.
I understand your point of view.
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.
But I'm not going to give up.
The new product development may have come to an end,
but I won't stop my effort to reveal the truth.
I'll be off then.
I agree with Dal Nim.
I can't give up like this.
I'm going to find out what happened...
and restart the new product development.
I also want to find out what happened.
If that's what you wish to do, I won't try to stop you.
Dal Nim must be very disappointed.
So try to think of a way to support her.
I'm sorry, but I don't think the chairwoman will...
change her mind until we find out the truth about what happened.
I can't give up like this.
I have to find my mom.
No. I'm going to find her no matter what.
I promise to find your mother.
I won't make your efforts go to waste.
I'll do whatever it takes to find her, so trust me.
If Sun Ho keeps doing this,
it'll only make Dal Nim suffer more.
I'm never going to give up.
Okay. You shouldn't give up.
Your contract got canceled,
so I don't think the company will...
allow you to send out an advertisement on TV.
But I can help you upload the advertisement on other platforms...
such as newspapers, magazines, and internet.
I'll think about everything I can help you with.
I really don't think Hye Ri could've done this all by herself.
Hye Ri could be seen as the lizard's tail.
The body ran away after cutting its tail off.
I'm not going to just let this go.
I'm going to dig this up and set things straight.
I completely agree with you.
The chairwoman won't change her mind right now,
but if we find the culprit,
we'll be able to put things back to normal.
You said Ms. Yoon recently took over Food and Top, right?
Yes. Se Na probably has something to do with...
the team manager of the Development Team of that company.
You're leaving right when we were starting to become close.
I'm so sad that you're leaving.
Me too. We were so close to succeeding with our new product.
What's this bracelet?
Can I take a look?
It's pretty.
Have you ever seen Ms. Hong wearing this bracelet?
- No. - What about you, Mr. Kim?
Come on. Guys don't have any eyes for accessories.
They can't even notice a change in our hairstyles.
Mr. Kim, have you never seen this?
I really can't be sure.
Women's accessories are so similar. I can't really tell the difference.
I see.
But why are you asking us that?
It's nothing.
Are you going on about that bracelet even on your last day?
This all happened because...
you were focused on something else other than work itself.
You make it sound as if I'm responsible for what happened.
You can't say you're unaccountable.
Instead of doing your work, you were focused on that bracelet...
and the photo. How could you have done your work properly?
That's why things didn't work out.
Ms. Hong, stop it.
The new product development got canceled already.
What's the use of blaming each other?
Thank you for everything.
You did a great job.
Goodbye.
Do you have more to say to me? Why are you following me outside?
It's your last day, so I thought I should see you off.
Did you learn that not everybody is able to take charge...
of a project?
You should take this experience as a very valuable lesson.
I'm sorry about what happened to the new product, but don't be too upset.
You can go back to the restaurant and work diligently.
Go back to where you belong and do your best.
Do you think you deserve that position as the team manager?
How long do you think you'll be able to stay in that position?
Don't worry about me. Just worry about yourself.
This is why people should know their place.
You're getting kicked out because of your greed.
I'm taking a step back right now, but don't think of this as the end.
The person responsible for stopping the new product development.
And the person who leaked the recipe.
I'm going to reveal everything myself.
Go ahead and do whatever you want.
Excuse me, what happened to the PR Team's computer?
Did you fix it?
I heard the new product development got canceled.
That means you're not in charge of anything.
This place is for staff members only. Please leave.
I'll leave right after I check if you fixed it or not.
It's not like you don't even know who I am.
Let me check just one photo.
You're not our company's employee.
I can't allow you to access our company's information.
I'm doing this because it's a really important photo.
Please do me a favor just this once.
Fine, go ahead.
I could only restore 40 gigabytes out of 1 terabyte.
Thank you.
Is this all?
The hard drive was severely damaged, so everything got lost.
Then can I borrow the damaged hard drive?
I'll try to look for a way to fix it.
Please let me take it.
I said you can't take it because it belongs to the company.
I might lose my job if anything goes wrong.
I won't cause any problems.
I already said no. I can't even let the chairwoman take it.
Please leave if you're done.
Get out.
(Restricted Area, Data Processing Team)
What are you doing here?
What happened to the computer?
Did the photo get restored?
No. The hard drive got damaged, so it can't be restored.
I'd like to take it with me and try to get it fixed.
But he says he can't give it to me due to company regulations.
I'll get the hard drive for you.
So don't worry too much.
Thank you.
You should go now.
Okay. Bye then.
Chef Jung, did you hear?
Hear what?
The new product development eventually got canceled.
So Dal Nim had to step down from her position.
That can't be possible. Are you sure about that?
Yes, I'm sure. I just got a call from Da Jung.
I'll be right back.
Dal Nim.
- Dal Nim, what happened? - Give me that.
Is it true?
Did the new product development really get canceled?
Yes, it did.
Director Choi and I tried to stop that from happening,
but it was too difficult.
We couldn't disobey the chairwoman.
Dal Nim, do you have to start working here again?
Yes.
Then what about the advertisement to look for your mother?
I won't be able do a TV advertisement,
but Director Choi promised that he'll do his best to help me out.
This is so unfair.
TV advertisements are the most effective.
You won't be able to get that far without a TV advertisement.
But where's Hye Ri?
Hye Ri got fired.
I need to solve this with Hye Ri.
I can't get a hold of her.
She won't even pick up my calls. I think she wants to be off the grid.
Please tell me if you get in touch with her.
Okay. But aren't you mad at Hye Ri?
She tried to frame you so many times.
She deserves to get fired.
In the end, Hye Ri just got used.
So don't be too harsh on her.
That means Mi Jung will be taking over Hye Ri's place.
Let's think of it positively, and do our best to work hard.
- Okay, chef. - Okay, chef.
I texted Jo Byung Soo, and he just replied.
I might be able to find something out.
I'm going to meet him today.
So don't be disappointed about what happened to the new product.
Cheer up, Dal Nim.
Geum Sook's right. You don't need to be disappointed.
I have no time to be disappointed anyway.
I need to find who leaked the recipe,
and I need to restore the original photo of the company newsletter.
I have so many things to do.
So I don't have enough time to feel disappointed.
I'm not surprised.
The aftereffect of the cancellation of the new product is crazy.
What do you mean?
Because the new product development got canceled,
the stock prices have declined.
Plus, a huge amount of money went into the development.
The directors are asking us to take responsibility for what happened.
Don't worry too much. It's just going to be a temporary risk.
We can choose a product that's...
close to being developed from the premium line,
and choose that as the new product.
Se Na, you'll have to put in a lot of effort from now on.
I knew something like this would happen.
You can't just let anyone take charge of a project.
Dal Nim wasn't fit for that position in the first place.
Although the new product development got canceled,
I'm still going to find the culprit that leaked the recipe.
If we let go of this issue...
along with the cancellation of the new product development,
this kind of thing will happen again and again.
I think we should use this chance to handle this problem sternly.
I disagree with Sun Ho.
I think we should handle things quietly.
Why is that?
If we keep digging into who leaked the recipe,
the board of directors will hold us responsible for both...
the cancellation of the new product development and the leak recipe.
It'll cause a headache if they accuse us for having weak security.
It'll be a loss on our end.
And if we attack Food and Top without any solid evidence,
do you think they'll stand still?
They might even sue us for defamation.
It'll be disadvantageous to us if this goes to court.
Se Na does have a point.
But we still can't pretend like nothing happened. Right, Mom?
That's right. We can't just let this slide so easily.
That person caused a huge damage to the company.
I want you to find that person, so that this kind of thing...
will never happen again.
Jae Wook knows that I'm looking for my daughter.
Did you tell him?
I didn't tell him because I wanted to.
He already knew everything before he asked me about her.
I couldn't pretend not to know...
when he already knew everything. So I just told him the truth.
Why? Did he say something to you?
He said he sincerely wants me to find my daughter.
He said he's going to move out...
as soon as my daughter moves into this house.
He said if my daughter moves in,
he'll be able to leave the house without having to worry about me.
He's right. Just do as he says when you find your daughter.
You and Jae Wook aren't even related by blood anyway.
Clear up what you need to regarding his property and family registry.
You should just live your life.
Why bother getting upset over someone else's son?
What do you think he means by that?
That obviously means that...
he's going to live with Dal Nim after cutting ties with me.
He's not trying to do this for me.
He's trying to do this for Dal Nim.
That's what makes me so angry.
I did what I could for him,
but I've become less important to him than Dal Nim.
Do you finally realize his true intentions?
You need to keep yourself together at times like this.
Try your best to find your daughter. That's all that matters.
You're right. I'm going to do whatever it takes to find her.
I'm going to find her, and give her everything that's mine.
I'm not going to give Jae Wook anything.
Dal Nim eventually got kicked out.
Gosh, I was so frustrated because of her. Now, I can finally breathe.
That means we stopped her from advertising about her mother.
We also took care of the bracelet and the photo.
Dal Nim can try whatever she wants,
but she won't be able to fight against me.
All that's left is for us to find Yi Ran's daughter.
I wonder if Jo Byung Soo's doing his job properly.
Why did you want to see me at such a dark place?
This place has a great atmosphere...
and delicious wine.
Gosh, everything's written in English.
Here you go.
Do you have enough money to come to places like this?
I never had to pay for anything.
Men are always lining up to date me.
I'm just doing them a favor and spending time with them.
Do you not want to spend your money?
You said all you had was money.
You are a gold digger.
Have you ever seen such a pure gold digger?
Then why are you hitting on me?
I'm not hitting on you.
I'm just doing this because I felt sorry for you.
I was going to be your friend. Should I just leave then?
It's just weird. Why were you at the toy store that day...
when you didn't even buy any toys?
- Were you following me? - What are you talking about?
I went there to buy a gift for my nephew.
But I ordered one online because I couldn't find anything nice.
Really?
I seriously bought a doctor kit playset.
Do you want me to show you the order statement?
Fine, okay.
If you're sorry, you can drink up.
Did your son like the gift I picked out for you?
Yes, he did. He called me in a year.
See? You owe me a drink.
Cheers.
Here's to the happiness of our families.
Cheers. Drink up.
I guess you haven't been able to see your son in a long time.
Yes, it's been a while.
He went to the Philippines four years ago.
I just call him now and then.
Why? Are you on bad terms with him?
I was getting chased by loan sharks because my business went bankrupt.
So I ended up getting a divorce.
And one day,
I found out that my wife just took my son abroad without telling me.
I can't believe I'm telling you this.
My gosh.
You must be really lonely.
I'm suddenly reminded of my aunt.
She was the only person...
who'd worry about me and cook for me.
I wonder where she is.
Here.
If you're lonely, I'll be your friend.
Don't be too lonely.
Here. Drink up.
Byung Soo, where do you get all that money from?
Me?
I have a spring that never runs dry.
Does that have anything to do with the owner of our restaurant?
Nobody knows about this.
But between Ms. Ma...
and I,
there's a secret that I should never tell anyone.
My gosh, I have a headache.
Byung Soo. Byung Soo. What did you just say?
Can you say that again?
Byung Soo, what did you... Wake up.
I shouldn't have fed him too much alcohol.
Were you with Jo Byung Soo until this hour?
Yes. He and I are good friends now.
So I'm sure I'll be able to get something out of him next time.
Be careful not to get caught.
Don't ever do anything dangerous.
More importantly, what are you going to do now?
You need to find the culprit who leaked the recipe.
Tell me if you need my help.
You can be in charge of Jo Byung Soo.
I'll take care of the culprit who leaked the recipe.
Come in.
About that hard drive you asked me to look into...
Yes, how did it go?
I asked a leading expert in security to fix it.
But he couldn't find that photo.
Apparently, it's hard to restore something that's been damaged.
I think it's because the photo got damaged...
one more time on top of getting damaged by the virus.
What do you mean?
I don't know any professional terms for that.
But when compared to a scar,
you could say it was injured two times.
It means the data was damaged twice.
We won't be able to restore that photo.
If it got damaged twice,
does that mean someone deleted it again...
because it didn't get deleted by the virus?
Then is it going to be impossible to reveal the truth about the bracelet?
Ms. Hong has a similar bracelet.
So we need the original photo of her wearing it.
Otherwise, it won't be enough to act as evidence.
We can never be sure.
So I'll check again to see if it can be restored or not.
Okay, please do me a favor.
It may be difficult to reveal the truth about the bracelet right now,
but I'm going to find the culprit who leaked the recipe.
I'll be off then.
- Where are you going? - I need to go somewhere.
What's your opinion on Se Na?
Do you now realize that...
Se Na was the one behind the leak recipe and the bracelet incident?
I'm still quite confused...
because there still isn't any solid evidence.
Whether it's the bracelet or the leak recipe, we still need...
clear evidence to prove that it was done by Se Na.
I really must meet him.
Please call Team Manager Song Min Woo of the Development Team.
How many times must I tell you?
You need to make an appointment prior to coming here.
Please leave.
(Food and Top)
Mr. Hyun.
Dal Nim, what are you doing here?
What about you? What are you doing here?
What?
Do you work here?
Yes, things kind of turned out that way. But what brings you here?
I came to meet Mr. Song Min Woo of the Development Team
Why do you need to meet Mr. Song?
I need to meet him regarding the Glasswort Instant Noodles.
Can you please help me meet him? Please do me a favor.
Well, regarding that...
Okay, I'll help you meet him.
Mr. Song, can you come out for a bit?
- Director Hyun, is there a problem? - Hey.
She insisted on meeting you.
Hello, I'm Oh Dal Nim. I'm the one who developed...
Glasswort Instant Noodles at Choigo Foods.
Oh, I see. But why did you want to see me?
Do you know Ms. Koo Hye Ri?
Yes, I do.
She was held responsible for leaking the recipe,
so she got fired.
So?
What does that have anything to do with me?
You met with her recently at the head office of Choigo Foods.
- Did you... - Are you being suspicious of me?
Let me make it clear.
Our team has been...
trying to develop glasswort noodles for a very long time.
Director Choi and Ms. Hong also came to see me yesterday.
But we really have nothing to do with the leak recipe.
If you're here to ask about that, I have nothing more to say to you.
Okay, then. You can go back now.
Are you satisfied now?
We've already notified...
Choigo Foods about our position regarding that issue.
So I hope we no longer fight about this issue.
By the way, I didn't know that...
you were the one who developed Glasswort Instant Noodles.
The company promised to...
air an advertisement for succeeding in developing the noodles.
But the contract got canceled,
so that advertisement flew out the window.
That's too bad.
I'm sorry for what happened, but our Development Team...
has been trying to develop Glasswort Instant Noodles for a long time.
You should know that we never stole any kind of recipe.
But how did you start working here?
What?
A person I know introduced me to a position here.
May I ask who?
Was it Ms. Hong by any chance?
No. No.
Dal Nim, I have to attend a meeting now.
Be careful on your way back.
Isn't that Director Hyun?
I heard he's the one who planned to launch Glasswort Instant Noodles.
My gosh, he really is skilled.
He was always ready to get revenge on Choigo Foods after he got fired.
But he threw a nice punch this time around.
I heard Choigo Foods are in an emergency situation right now.
I heard Sun Ho saying that...
he'll promise to find Dal Nim's mother no matter what.
He should be busy trying to protect his position as the director.
Why would he waste his time...
and say something so useless like that?
I warned him so many times. I don't understand why he's doing this.
He's like sand that's slipping through my fingers.
I'm just so worried about him.
- You can't do this. - What's going on?
I came to tell you something.
You can wait outside.
You can talk to her. I'll excuse myself.
Stay where you are.
It's something I need to say to both of you.
What is it that you need to keep a busy person here?
Do you think we have enough time to listen to your nonsense?
You and Ms. Hong...
were the ones behind the leak recipe, weren't you?
Actually, to be exact, I should also include Director Hyun in this act.
What?
Of all the food companies in this country,
why did it have to be the company you took over?
Why does Director Hyun, who got fired from Choigo Foods,
have to be in the company that released...
the exact same product as Choigo Foods?
Don't you think it's all too strange to think of it as a coincidence?
How dare you be unreasonable like this?
Get out of my office if you're here to talk nonsense.
Ms. Hong must've given Director Hyun the recipe.
And you must be the one who ordered her to do so. Am I wrong?
Stop it. How dare you be so rude to Ms. Yoon?
You once ordered Ms. Hong...
to frame me to kick me out of the restaurant.
Are you sure you didn't do this...
to try to stop me from finding my mom?
Are you trying to fight me?
Okay, fine. What if I really did give orders for this to happen?
What else will you be able to do other than shout at me like this?
I told you, didn't I?
I said I'll make your life miserable.
Do you think I'll let you find your mother so easily?
You'll never be able to find out where your mother is,
and how she's doing.
I'll bleed you dry, and make you so nervous...
that you'll have to live the rest of your life in torture.
Ms. Yoon, I feel so sorry for you.
What?
When I went to the charnel house to see your daughter,
I promised that I'll reveal the truth no matter what.
I'm sure your daughter is as furious as I am about what happened.
I won't stop this for Jae Hee's sake.
Shut it.
How dare you say her name with that foul mouth of yours?
You must be holding your head up high...
because you haven't gotten beaten enough.
Fine. I'll beat you until you turn into ashes.
Let's see if you'll still be able to act so confident in front of me...
even then.
You'll end up regretting this.
When you find out who leaked the recipe,
and the real culprit who killed your daughter,
you'll end up regretting everything.
Fine, go ahead and reveal the truth.
When the truth comes out,
I'll get on my knees to beg for your forgiveness.
But do you think that day will ever come?
Do you remember this bracelet?
This is...
The exact same noodles...
that I had developed got launched by another company.
Then don't you think it's possible for the same bracelet...
to have been at the crime scene four years ago?
The same instant noodles and the same bracelet.
Just like how someone stole the recipe,
someone could've stolen the bracelet that was in my house.
What are you saying?
I'm saying that the person who had the exact same bracelet...
as mine four years ago is the person who killed your daughter, Jae Hee.
And that person is...
right before your eyes.
She's the person whom you trust like your own daughter.
And that person is Hong Se Na.
What?
Stop this nonsense!
How dare you do this in front of Ms. Yoon?
After Jae Hee died,
you're the one who took over everything that was hers.
Ms. Yoon, do you still not understand?
Mother, don't get fooled by her.
She's out of her mind right now.
She's only trying to make us hate each other.
Mr. Park, what are you doing?
- Hurry up and take her outside. - Ms. Yoon.
I know you're trying to frame Se Na with that bracelet.
How dare you try to play a trick on me?
You need to leave.
- Ms. Yoon. - Please come out.
(Save Recording File)
Are you okay?
You must've been startled.
You seem more startled than me.
Your face is completely pale.
Mother, you can't fall for her tricks.
She's going to do whatever it takes to make us grow apart...
from each other.
Don't worry. I'll never doubt you.
More importantly, did you take care of the leak recipe?
Dal Nim's being quite persistent.
You never know what might happen.
We're the only ones who know about that.
As long as we keep our mouths shut,
no one will ever be able to find out. You don't need to worry.
Director Hyun's working at Food and Top?
Yes. I found out when I went there to meet Mr. Song.
It's highly possible that Se Na introduced him to Ms. Yoon.
Our legal team is currently getting ready to sue Food and Top...
for breaking the law on industrial technology protection.
But we only have evidence to prove that we leaked the recipe.
We don't have any evidence to prove that Food and Top took it.
We need people to confess.
But Mr. Song keeps saying he didn't steal anything.
And Ms. Koo Hye Ri is out of touch.
She didn't even show up for the police investigation.
The only choice we have is to try and convince Mr. Song to confess.
He kept insisting that Food and Top had developed the recipe.
I don't think he'll easily confess.
It won't be easy since he'll have to become a whistle-blower.
A person needs a lot of courage to do that.
But let's still try our best until the end.
What were you planning to get out of showing Ms. Yoon that bracelet?
Did you think you'll be able to get her on your side by doing that?
And why did you come to meet Sun Ho again?
Today, it ended with the bracelet.
But you should look forward to what might come next.
What?
Every time I reveal your sin,
you're going to get nervous and scared.
You got lucky with the original photo.
But you just wait.
I'm going to find evidence to prove...
that you leaked the recipe.
Go ahead.
How are you going to find evidence that doesn't even exist?
We'll see about that.
There's no need to be nervous.
She'll never be able to find any evidence.
- My gosh, this is killing me. - How did things go?
How many orphanages did you go to?
I was in a really bad condition today.
Ms. Ma, can you make me some hangover soup?
You little punk. Did you just rest the whole day after drinking?
How can you have the guts to ask me for a hangover soup?
Aunt Soon Hee's dried pollack soup tasted amazing.
Is there no news on Aunt Soon Hee?
No. Just focus on finding that baby.
Okay.
Just send me that photo again.
I dropped my cell phone in the toilet.
So I lost everything that was inside.
You must've dropped it after getting drunk.
What?
What are you doing here again?
My gosh, it's not like I'm not allowed to come here.
Why do you have to ruin my mood every time you see me?
My gosh, I can't believe this.
Whatever. Just get out of here. Hurry up and get out of here!
Mom! Mom!
Mom, why do you keep letting him come here? Kick him out right now!
My gosh, I asked him to do something for me.
I do my job when I need to.
- Your number's the same, right? - Yes.
I'll send you the photo again. Take good care of your phone.
Make sure you don't drop it in the toilet again.
My gosh, what's the big deal about this photo?
Why did you have to come all the way here for this?
You could've just called her and asked for it.
I lost everything in my cell phone because it got ruined.
I came because I don't know Ms. Ma's phone number.
Good going. Why did you have to drop your cell phone in the toilet,
and cause such an inconvenience for all of us?
You little...
How old are you? Why do you keep talking to me like I'm your friend?
I'm old enough. What about you? How old are you?
- You little... - My goodness, stop!
(Food and Top stole the recipe for Glasswort Instant Noodles.)
What? Dal Nim's protesting in front of the company?
Jae Wook, did you know?
Did you know that Dal Nim's doing a one-woman protest?
What are you talking about? Dal Nim protesting?
I can't believe she's doing this.
Call the security team, and tell them to get rid of her.
Don't talk as if she's an object.
To me, she means nothing.
What are you doing? Hurry up and take care of her.
You better not lay a finger on her.
If anything happens to her,
I'm not going to stand still.
So this is how you're going to be?
Fine, I'll take care of her myself.
- Have the car ready. - Yes, ma'am.
Sun Ho, it's me.
I'm Oh Dal Nim. I'm the developer of Glasswort Instant Noodles...
from Choigo Foods.
My recipe got stolen in an instant.
Do you have any evidence to prove that Food and Top stole your recipe?
Yes.

Are you trying to fight me?
Okay, fine. What if I really did give orders for this to happen?
What else will you be able to do other than shout at me like this?
Don't trust what she tells you. It's all a lie.
This woman has no right to stand here like this.
She's...
a murderer who killed my daughter.
