(Episode 87)
Grandma.
Do you have...
- something to say? - "Grandma"?
Yes. I have something to ask you.
I don't know what it is, but I'm very tired.
If it's not too urgent, let's talk at home.
Okay. See you at home.
Okay.
Madam Lee.
Were you very surprised?
I apologize.
Then...
is Mr. Kim my son?
Is he really my son?
Yes.
He is.
How... How could this be?
Then...
Why did you lie to me until now? Why?
I had no other option.
What about my husband?
I heard Mr. Kim only has a grandmother.
My husband.
Is he really dead?
Yes. When Mr. Kim was eight years old,
he lost his father.
I thought my whole family had died in the war.
How could this be true?
Madam Lee, you need to think carefully.
Mr. Kim grew up thinking you were dead.
I feel the same. I had buried my son in my heart.
The son I thought was dead is actually alive and I know now.
I only just found out.
There's another problem other than that one.
What?
Think what will happen when Mr. Kim learns of all this.
The mom he thought was dead is alive...
and you're the mother of the woman he's in love with.
How do you think he will feel then?
Then...
What should I do now?
I know how shocked and confused you are.
But now is the time when you must be clear-headed.
Mr. Kim and Soo In are going through...
too much right now to be able to...
handle the truth.
Mr. Kim loves Soo In very much.
If you're concerned how shocked Mr. Kim will be,
then you must think what will be the best...
for everyone and how you should act.
You must think carefully.
This is the CEO of Chungil Flour who supplies us.
She's my landlady.
Oh, I see. How are you?
Are you Soo In's mother?
I love Soo In.
What?
I want to marry her.
I need your help.
Here.
I don't have to count it, do I?
Do you have the film?
Here you go.
Did you print any extra copies?
Don't be like that.
I'm not that scheming.
I hope we never meet again.
I wouldn't know.
We reporters start digging whenever we smell something.
You never know if and how we'll meet.
It's best for you if you don't go too far.
I only play nice once.
Remember that.
You're scaring me now.
I get the point. Don't worry.
Ms. Oh.
Shall we have dinner? What do you want?
Forget about dinner.
There's something I have to say.
Is there? Can't we talk over dinner?
It's not nice dinner talk.
What is it? What's going on?
Your sister came by today.
What? My sister was here?
How'd she know?
I don't know.
What did she say to you?
What did she say?
I can't tell you.
I think we should just break up.
This won't work out.
What's going on?
Did she tell you to break up with me?
I said all I have to say. It's over.
Ms. Oh. Ms. Oh.
How annoying.
Did you go to the cafe?
Yes.
What did you tell her?
I told her to break it off, of course.
I don't think she's a pushover.
Why? Did she refuse to break up?
- Sook Hee! - My goodness.
What did you say to Seol Hee?
Did she run over to you and tell on me?
What did you say to her?
I told her to know her place.
What? Why did you do that?
What gives you the right?
Uncle.
Get a grip. What did she do to get such a tight hold on you?
You've lost all sense and reason.
Watch your tongue. She's the woman I love.
If you talk to her like that again,
- I won't take it. - Man Pyo!
Whatever happens, whatever it takes,
I will marry Seol Hee, so don't mistreat my girlfriend...
and don't break her heart, okay?
Man Pyo. Man Pyo!
Oh no. What is wrong with him?
Dae Bong, eat this as well.
Did you have lunch?
Join me if you haven't.
The peak lunch hour is over.
I'll eat later with Young Sun.
Eat up.
Did your mom get home safely?
Yes, she did.
Why did you tell her what you did?
Because I couldn't stand seeing you suffer.
But still, you shouldn't have lied to her.
Now she's upset.
That can't be helped. I had no choice.
It's for the best. My mom will soon give up.
You won't have to suffer now.
I feel so terrible about everything.
We can make up for it by treating her the best we can.
Thank you. I'm sorry too.
Don't be.
Thanks for lunch. I have to get back to work. See you at home.
Bye.
You're back. How was your trip to Seoul?
Good.
What did you go to Seoul for?
Did you meet your mother-in-law?
Hi, Dong Chul.
We need to talk.
You'd better...
tell me the truth. Don't you lie.
Who did you meet today?
I heard your mother-in-law's alive.
Did you just meet your previous family?
Honey.
What's wrong?
What should I do now?
What should I do?
Why are you crying? What's wrong?
Honey...
What's going on?
Stop crying and talk to me.
Ma'am, why don't we just tell Mr. Kim everything?
Tell him that Madam Lee, his mother is alive,
and that she is Soo In's mother.
- You're home. - Yes.
What did you want to talk about earlier today?
It's about my mom.
Your mom?
I overheard you and Mr. Jang talk about her.
I'd always wanted to know.
What do you have against my dead mom?
Why do you hate her so much?
I don't hate her.
Grandma, can't you tell me the truth?
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
I'm not. There's no secret.
Grandma.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And I'd rather not discuss someone who's been long dead.
I'm tired. You can go to your room.
What is she hiding?
What's the secret about my dead mom?
If you're concerned how shocked Mr. Kim will be,
then you must think what will be the best...
for everyone and how you should act.
You must think carefully.
(Chungil Flour)
What?
What do you mean she knows everything?
How did she find out?
She came to the company yesterday...
and saw you with Mr. Kim.
She put the two together.
Does she want Seon Woo to know?
Will she tell Seon Woo that she's his mom?
We can't let her see Seon Woo.
He thinks his mom is dead.
He doesn't know about Soo In.
What should we do about this?
What if she comes over today?
I don't think she will, ma'am.
I'm sure Madam Lee is very upset about Mr. Kim...
and Soo In's relationship.
I get it. You can leave.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello?
Mother, it's me.
Why did you ask to see me?
I found out yesterday that...
the son I'd lost when he was two weeks old...
is actually Mr. Kim.
Seon Woo.
I never got to call his name.
I just found out that he is my son.
I wanted to go to him right away.
But I just couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to do that,
so I asked to see you instead.
Go to Seon Woo?
And do what?
Tell him that you're his mom?
What should I do now?
If you really care for him and want to do the right thing,
do not let him see you again.
That's the best you can do for him.
I heard that...
Il Joo died when Seon Woo was eight.
What happened?
Was he very sick?
It was an accident.
Then...
did you raise Seon Woo from then onward?
Yes.
Thank you, Mother. You raised him well.
Thank you for raising him into such a nice young man.
Seon Woo went through a lot as a child...
because he had no parents.
He was hurt more than enough.
I don't want him to suffer because of what we adults did.
Finding out the son I thought was dead is alive...
is a miracle and you'll never know how thankful I am.
But...
not being able to tell him that I'm his mother...
breaks my heart and it hurts so much.
What can you do?
Soo In and Seon Woo cannot be,
and you must think how badly the truth will hurt Seon Woo.
If you care for him,
please do not show up around him again.
I beg of you.
(Chungil Flour)
Hello, Ms. Oh.
Why are you here?
To check on you on the way to the market.
Why didn't you come for lunch?
I lost my appetite. I have too much on my mind.
Are you upset because of Mr. Hong's sister?
Of course.
I may sell coffee in a small cafe,
but I lived honestly and I'm not ashamed.
Why do I deserve such contempt?
That's what upsets me.
It's not a crime to work your whole life to make a living.
I know and the deities know how hard you worked.
You're right. You don't deserve such scorn.
Mr. Hong's sister was in the wrong.
What will you do?
If this is happening because I love Mr. Hong,
then I'll give it up.
If you really love Mr. Hong,
why don't you two work together and convince his sister?
No. I think it's best for us both...
if we break up now.
And do what?
What will change if I meet her?
I would love to if only I could change my mind.
But I can't this time.
You need to change your mind.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
Mother, it's me, Seon Woo.
Hello, Mr. Kim.
Sorry for calling out of the blue.
I need to ask you a favor.
What is it?
I asked my grandmother to meet with you...
and she refused.
Do you think you could come and see her?
Your grandmother?
Yes. Explain how your husband went to prison and...
some other misunderstandings.
I know it's too much to ask, but you're the only one I can turn to.
Could you do that for me?
My grandmother will come around once you meet.
No, I can't do that.
Mother.
Sorry, I have to go.
I'm back.
Is something wrong? Were you crying?
No.
Come in.
This is from Madam Cho.
- Thanks. - Bye.
Tae Soo, are you getting off work?
Yes.
Can we have a drink if you're free?
(Shine Restaurant)
You seem concerned.
Is it about Soo In?
It's more about me.
People seem to think I can give up on my love for her.
They keep trying to break us up.
I don't feel the same.
I just can't give up on her.
But my love for her, my sincerity and honesty...
isn't enough to persuade them.
It won't be easy.
I know that much.
Tae Soo, to be very honest,
I want to leave the company and my grandmother.
Soo In wouldn't want that.
Even if it takes time, you must stay with her...
without hurting anyone.
Only then can Soo In be happy too.
You must keep going for Soo In's sake.
Be strong.
Right. I must be strong.
Where's Man Pyo? He missed dinner.
He's on a hunger strike.
A hunger strike? What about?
It's nothing, don't worry.
What? Are you too hungry?
Do you want dinner?
No. I want to say something with everyone present.
What? Don't you dare say anything.
Don't even open your mouth.
What's this about?
Man Pyo, are you in trouble again?
Honey, it's not worth listening to.
Go back to your room.
Jae Man.
I want to get married.
What?
Do you want to marry the woman you're seeing?
Yes.
Man Pyo!
What's wrong with you? Let's hear him out.
Who's the woman?
Honey, you don't need to know.
We need to talk.
There's a cafe called Tiffany.
She's the owner.
What?
What's this about? The owner of a cafe?
Did you know about this?
I found out two days ago.
Man Pyo's more naive and clueless than he seems.
I doubt he'll marry her.
He says he wants to!
I met the woman and talked some sense into her.
It won't drag on. Don't worry.
Does he even think at all?
Doesn't he care about our reputation?
It's not my brother's fault, really.
It's that witch who got her claws into the innocent thing.
Tell Man Pyo that this wedding will never happen.
Soo In.
Mr. Kim.
Did you have a drink?
Yes, a few.
It's late. Why didn't you go straight home?
Madam Cho will be worried. You should go.
Soo In.
Soo In. I'm sorry.
For causing you pain and suffering.
And for loving you.
I should go.
Sleep well.
Soo In. I'm sorry.
For causing you pain and suffering.
And for loving you.
(Seoul Cafe)
This is a copy I had.
I thought you'd want to have a look at it.
Thank you.
It's tough, isn't it?
I felt terrible after I first met you.
If I feel this terrible, you must feel worse.
I met Mother yesterday.
Did you?
She said that Il Joo...
died in an accident.
Can you tell me what happened?
It was a car accident.
A car accident?
After the war,
the late Mr. Kim searched everywhere for you.
He found out where you were...
and went to see you.
Then...
did he die on his way to see me?
Yes.
Madam Cho had the wrong idea about you then as well,
and she didn't like it that your husband was always...
trying to find you.
Madam Cho and I followed him to try to stop him...
and that's how he got into the accident.
I'd always wanted to apologize to you...
if we ever met again.
I'm...
I'm really sorry.
Don't say that. It wasn't your fault.
Don't blame yourself.
Mr. Kim...
missed you until the moment he died.
He still loved you.
Where is Il Joo now?
Here you are.
I'm sorry I'm so late.
You should've forgotten about me.
I'm sorry I got you killed.
If I'd known you were alive,
I'd have looked for you too, but I had no idea you were.
Seon Woo...
is a lot like you.
He has your heart...
and he loves Soo In a lot.
The hand that fate dealt us...
left our son with too big a burden to bear.
Watch over our son.
I will do what I can to protect him...
from a distance.
You met Soo In's mother.
Were you mean to her?
I can do worse to prevent this marriage.
I can give up everything for Soo In!
Seon Woo!
May I hold your hand?
I'm sorry. Break up with Soo In. I need you to.
- Mother. - My son.
Seon Woo.
Show her how you feel.
I love him.
I love him so much it hurts.
