(Episode 69)
Are you out of your mind?
Don't you know what happens if you drink after taking these pills?
Did you actually think that I took all of those sleeping pills?
Did you...
You have completely lost your mind.
Yes, I've lost my mind.
I wish I was completely insane.
No, I actually just want to die!
Seo Yeon!
You probably have no idea how pathetic I feel right now.
I also hate myself for being like this.
I feel horrible about myself. I'm so miserable, and it's making me crazy.
Seo Yeon.
I...
I hate seeing myself at the rock bottom like this.
- Let go... - Ms Lee.
My goodness.
I want to die.
- I don't want to live any more. - No.
The Lee Seo Yeon I know is much stronger than this.
So please...
- In Kyung. - I...
didn't know that you two were meeting here.
The door was open.
Tell me.
Did you ask In Kyung to come here on purpose?
Let's talk some other time.
In Kyung, wait.
Don't go!
(Seoul Hospital)
Seo Yeon.
Was that all you could think of?
How... How did you end up like this?
In order to stop you,
I can do things that are a lot worse.
Seo Yeon...
What is it?
You don't think I can do it?
It'll leave a scar,
but it won't affect your life. Check yourself out when you're ready.
I absolutely...
will not let In Kyung have you.
Never.
What brings you here at this hour?
Is In Kyung in her room?
What?
In Kyung, are you awake?
Jung Ho is here to see you.
In Kyung.
In Kyung, come downstairs for a second.
Where is In Kyung?
It looks like she woke up, but she's not answering me.
Did something happen between the two of you?
I'll come back another time.
Jung Ho, what happened?
Why did you not come home again last night?
I'm tired.
Let's talk about this later, Hee Ae.
Tell me. Were you with In Kyung again last night?
What on earth are you thinking?
Are you going to keep seeing her?
I cannot approve of her. She's not right for you.
Please!
- Jung Ho. - Stop it, please.
It's my life. I'm going to figure it out.
Hee Ae.
What is the matter, Jung Ho? Father will hear you.
Goodness.
Right. It is your choice and your private life.
I also don't want to be nosy because it's embarrassing.
But I'm just really worried about you.
Don't you know how ridiculous our family will look if you keep it up?
Why would we look ridiculous?
What are you so scared of?
Jung Ho, do you seriously not know the answer?
That's enough, Hee Ae. I'm sure Jung Ho will figure it out.
You know that he's not reckless enough to cause trouble...
that will affect the entire family.
I'm so upset.
Hee Ae.
I can tell that something happened.
You won't tell me even if I ask you, right?
No.
I'd appreciate it if you don't ask.
It looked like Jung Ho stayed up all night worrying about you.
It doesn't seem like you got any sleep, either.
Ms Hong, please.
Don't the two of you feel the same way about each other?
I thought you liked each other.
You know my situation.
Mr Nam and I...
I know. It's so complicated.
I can easily list a hundred reasons why you two can't be together.
But you know what, In Kyung?
You can't really stop your feelings for someone.
Just date him if you want to be with him that much.
What are you talking about?
Who says I want to be with him?
You. What your heart wants is written all over your face.
Life is short. Don't waste your time...
and love as much as you can.
If you don't, you'll be left with nothing but regrets later on.
You also have feelings for me, don't you?
Isn't that why you gave me a kiss?
My goodness. Don't you think it's too early to talk nonsense?
Are you going to pretend you don't remember? You kissed me.
Gosh, what on earth are you talking about?
When did I kiss you? I didn't.
Don't you remember?
Do you seriously have no recollection of it?
- You went like this and... - Cut it out!
I said I don't remember. I have no idea what you're talking about.
What's wrong with you...
Then shall we do it one more time?
Doing it again will bring back your memory.
My gosh...
Hey...
Well...
I was going to wait,
but I got cramps in my leg all of a sudden.
Sorry, guys.
I didn't hear anything.
Keep doing what you were doing.
Oh, boy.
We're in trouble.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Chil Bong, let's talk.
What? What's there to talk about?
What is it?
- What are you doing? Gosh. - Come on.
Hey, my leg is still cramping.
Gosh, he didn't make a single sound while sitting in the bathroom.
This is crazy. What should I do now?
Chil Bong. Please keep everything you heard to yourself, okay?
How did that happen by the way?
When did your relationship evolve like that?
If Ms Park finds out, she will...
If Mum finds out, both Choon Ja and I will die in her hands.
So please pretend that you didn't hear anything, okay?
All right, I will.
If Ms Park finds out about this...
- My gosh. - Goodness.
You'll be in deep trouble. No doubt.
Thanks, Chil Bong.
What's taking them so long? This is making me so anxious.
Chil Bong. So we're clear, right?
What?
Of course. Don't you worry about a thing.
I'm on your side.
Did you make sure that he won't tell anyone?
Can't you tell?
Don't worry. I took care of everything.
You took care of it? How?
I just did it.
What is going on?
How do Ms Hong and In Kyung's birth mother...
know each other?
They look so friendly with each other in this photo.
They must've been close.
What if...
she knows everything?
If she...
tells In Kyung everything...
That must not happen. It'll hurt Han Soo, too.
I absolutely can't let that happen.
What is this photo?
I need to hear what you have to say.
How... How did you get this photo?
That's none of your business.
This woman.
She's In Kyung's real mother, Lee Yeon Hee, isn't she?
- Yes, she is. - Then...
what's your relationship with her?
Did you approach In Kyung intentionally because of her?
It wasn't intentional.
To be honest, I only recently found out that In Kyung...
is Yeon Hee's daughter.
She was a close friend of mine who was like a sister to me.
In Kyung doesn't know anything yet.
Why haven't you told her?
Why would you hide it if you two were just close friends?
Are you helping In Kyung with a hidden agenda?
I'm hugely indebted to Yeon Hee.
What I owe her is more than I can ever pay off.
I wanted to do something to repay her.
That's why I took In Kyung under my wing.
If you couldn't clear your debt when she was alive,
you should just forget about it and move on.
Why did you have to stir In Kyung up like that?
Then...
how much do you know about In Kyung's mum?
Did you stay in touch with her even after she got married...
until she died?
No. I didn't even know that she was married...
until after she died.
Do not bring up anything about In Kyung's mum in front of her.
She remembers nothing about her mum. Please don't say useless things...
because it'll only upset her.
Let's make sure that your relationship with her mum...
stays between the two of us.
But I should tell her eventually.
I'm going to tell her when she gets to the top.
Listen to me carefully.
If you bring up anything about that woman to her,
it'll be war between you and me...
from that moment on.
I'm the only mum to her.
So you better keep your mouth sealed.
Why is she so afraid of In Kyung...
finding out about Yeon Hee?
Yes, it's me.
I need you to gather some Intel on someone.
(Baekdu Films)
Did you hurt your hand?
We're not here to talk about my hand.
We should stay focused and speak with Mr Baek.
What do you think, Sir?
Do you like Ms Kang's image?
I can see why you recommended her to me, Ms Lee.
Ms Lee...
- recommended me? - Yes.
The theme of this commercial is desire, you know.
Incessant desire for something unattainable.
You were the first person who came to my mind when I heard about it.
I'll take that as a compliment.
I'm surprised...
that you recommended me as a model for the commercial.
I didn't do it for you, of course.
I did it to promote the film.
Your wrist.
Did that happen last night?
I know that you heard everything.
Why do you have to ask?
Is it ridiculous that I hurt myself to try to change Jung Ho's mind?
Is that why you had to point it out?
No.
- I feel compassion for you. - What?
Compassion?
How much are you going to show me?
Will you go all the way to the end and show me how low you can go?
The end?
What are you talking about? I'm just starting now.
Are you already scared? Don't be. That's no fun.
Don't you think that you're being too selfish?
- What do you mean? - Let's say...
that things go well between the two of you.
Have you ever thought about what Jung Ho would have to go through...
because of you?
If you become part of his family,
do you think it'll make him happy?
Don't you think it can mark the beginning of a whole new tragedy?
I don't think...
I'm obligated to answer that question.
Then...
is today the D-day?
Yes, it is.
In Kyung's life will be destroyed today.
I think I heard you say that you met with Mr Baek Seung Tak earlier.
- Am I right? - Yes, that's right.
- Do you know him? - Of course I do.
He's famous for philandering with actresses whom he can snatch.
After toying with them,
he tramples all over them. He's notorious for that nasty habit.
What do you think, Mr Cha?
- Are you satisfied? - Yes.
It's perfect.
I'm looking forward to hearing about what happens tonight.
Dinner?
Will it be just me and Mr Baek?
Ms Lee said that she'd be there, too.
I've heard so many nasty rumours about that man, Mr Baek,
from people in the industry.
Really?
I don't think you should go to the dinner.
Let's not do the commercial.
Please don't, Ms Hong.
I'll go.
- What? - I cannot...
give up the commercial.
It's for a cosmetics brand, and I like the theme.
It's certainly a great opportunity for me.
It'll help me become much more famous.
In Kyung.
If Mr Baek is approaching you with different intentions...
Then I shall redirect his intentions.
I'm in it just to shoot the commercial.
Gosh, just let me wipe this for you.
What if someone sees you here? Just get out now.
All right, then. Finish it quickly, okay?
Gosh.
Mr Chairman.
Is Geum Soon your first love?
Well... Yes, she is.
Geum Soon is my first love.
She's also my last love.
Right.
Marrying your first love would be very meaningful.
Always be there for her and keep her safe.
Pardon me?
Yes, Sir.
Mr Chairman, I finished everything for today.
All right. Thanks for all of your hard work.
You should get going.
Yes, Sir. We'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, Sir.
Let's go.
What are you doing now?
Who is Yeon Hee?
She must be someone dear to you,
judging from all of these heartfelt, tear-invoking letters.
Who told you that you can read these letters?
I'm the one who should be mad at you right now.
Did you just yell at me?
Who is she? Tell me!
Why have you been hiding these letters from me?
Who is Lee Yeon Hee?
Don't you dare utter her name disrespectfully.
She doesn't deserve that from you!
Tae Joon.
Did you just...
yell at me?
She...
passed away.
Pardon?
I heard that Ms Lee is joining us.
It doesn't look like she's coming.
She called and told me that something has come up.
I see.
She's busy, so we should let her do work and just enjoy this.
Let's enjoy this to the fullest.
The food here is pretty good.
Sure.
You're the one who took me to the hospital.
Shouldn't you at least ask me how I'm recovering?
I'm not interested.
Why are you here by the way?
Don't you have a meeting with In Kyung and Mr Baek?
Oh, it's not really a meeting.
It's rather an intimate occasion, so I don't want to disturb.
Intimate occasion? What do you mean by that?
Smooth, milky-white skin...
and beautiful lips.
The more I look at you,
the more I'm realising that you're the perfect face for our brand.
Thank you for the compliment.
I didn't expect that you'd offer me an exclusive contract.
You came to this dinner, so I should do that much for you.
Pardon me?
I'm not a petty person.
I never get overly greedy, either.
Well, was I going too fast?
All right. Let me pour you a drink first.
Before that,
I'd like to give you the gift I brought for you.
Gift?
Gosh, you didn't have to.
Thanks.
What is this?
(Invitation to the Royal Ballet Performance)
Are these tickets to a ballet performance?
Yes.
It's an invitation to the British ballet company's performance.
I know that your wife has been waiting for it,
so I got the tickets for you.
My wife?
Do you know her?
Of course. Madam Jin is a regular customer at our hair salon.
Oh, right. Your daughter is studying ballet, right?
Madam Jin always talks so highly of her daughter.
Goodness.
I'll be sure not to disappoint you.
I'll do my very best as the face of the brand.
I'll make sure that my wife gets these tickets.
This dinner never happened, okay?
I trust that you'll keep your mouth sealed.
In Kyung.
Mr Nam.
Are you all right? Did I come too late?
Was Mr Baek out of line? Where is that jerk right now?
Wait. I'm fine.
- Nothing happened. - Are you sure?
Are you really okay?
Yes. But...
I want to get out of here now.
All right.
Let's go.
Sir, you shouldn't have just left like that...
Sir. Sir?
In Kyung.
That sly fox.
Gosh!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
I cannot forgive myself.
I can't believe I didn't catch onto it...
and let you go through such an insulting situation.
Please don't beat yourself up.
It was Ms Lee's deliberate scheme to get to me.
How could you have known?
Please don't think like that.
Nothing happened, you know.
When I was running to you,
I couldn't believe myself.
I felt like an idiot that I couldn't figure it out sooner.
I was livid at myself.
I'm angry at you, too.
I...
should be okay with things like this.
I should...
be able to handle something like this on my own.
I mean, I've been doing it all along.
But...
I kept thinking about you.
"Where is he?"
"Why isn't he coming?"
In Kyung.
I was scared.
I was worried that you might not come...
and that I might be left alone.
I...
waited for you.
I really shouldn't be like this.
I've been trying so hard to stop my feelings for you...
because I didn't...
want to make you unhappy.
I tried to turn off my feelings. I tried so hard,
but I ended up like this after all.
What should I do?
I'm so scared of being alone now.
I don't think I can live without you.
What am I supposed to do?
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
From now on,
I'll never let you be alone.
I don't want you...
to be lonely...
or scared.
I won't let that happen.
I will...
keep you safe.
I promise you...
because I love you.
(Queen Salon)
Are you sure? Is it really true?
So you're saying that when Yeon Hee's life was hanging by a thread,
that woman, Park Mal Soon...
Okay.
In Kyung isn't home yet. Is it about something urgent?
I'm here to speak with you, not In Kyung.
Me?
Is there something you want to discuss with me or what?
We're here.
Right,
we're here.
You should get going.
I'll leave after you go in.
All right, then.
In Kyung.
You made me...
so happy today.
I really mean it.
Me, too.
I really mean it.
Oh, these are...
Ms Hong's shoes.
What...
What did you just say?
- I said that you're disgusting. - Look!
Did you want to steal In Kyung's dad from her that much?
Is that why you seduced him when Yeon Hee...
was dying from her critical condition?
What?
Yeon Hee died because of you.
You killed In Kyung's mum.
Sorry?
What do you mean?
