I found my previous family that I'd thought had perished.
The son...
The son I'd thought was dead...
I met him.
My son is...
The son I lost in the war is...
Kim Seon Woo.
Mr. Kim is your son?
Yes.
Is that true?
Is...
Mr. Kim your son?
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Does he know this as well?
No, he doesn't know.
I don't want him to ever find out.
If he does...
he will suffer too much.
I'm sorry, Soo In. I'm so sorry.
Then...
does Madam Cho know?
Yes, she knows.
Seon Woo came to the restaurant today.
I asked him to break up with you...
and he refused.
I came here to ask you to do just that.
Soo In.
I know you're in shock and pain,
but only you can end this.
You...
need to talk to him.
Soo In.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Mr. Kim is...
the son I lost in the war.
Do you know how many people...
you're hurting just so you can be with Soo In?
Madam Cho, Soo In's family, even Soo In herself.
How much more grief must you cause before it's over?
Did he really say that?
That he would give up everything he has?
Yes.
He said he'll give up on me and the company for Soo In.
What should I do about this?
I was so shocked that...
I couldn't sleep last night.
If that's how strongly he feels for Soo In,
then there's nothing we can do.
What do you mean?
Shouldn't you tell him the complete truth?
No. I can't do that.
If he finds out the mom he thought was dead...
is actually alive and that she's Soo In's mother...
No, he can't find out.
I can't cause Seon Woo such pain.
I can't put him through that.
Ma'am.
I think Mr. Kim is in enough pain...
and confusion right now.
What if he really does give up everything for her?
What will you do then?
(Seoul Cafe)
Why did you ask to see me first?
I have something to say.
I'll go first.
If it's to be with you,
I will cut ties with my grandma and leave Chungil.
What?
I thought about it and that's the only way.
I don't need anything else.
I just need you.
Is this all you are, Mr. Kim?
Soo In.
Will you cut ties with your only relative and give up...
the company your father established just for a woman?
I have no choice.
Let's be honest.
Be honest?
I did, at one point, want to be with you.
That much is true.
You said you liked me and as a single mother with a son,
I wanted to enjoy the luxuries a man of your status could provide.
Thinking of Ji Hoon...
made it harder to refuse your advances.
Soo In, what are you talking about?
I was too greedy and selfish.
I can't stand watching you give my family such a hard time.
Why are you doing this? Don't do this.
This is...
the necklace you gave me.
Why are you acting like this so suddenly?
There's no reason.
I just...
am no longer in love with you.
Soo In, I know you don't mean a word you said.
What happened?
Why aren't you getting what I mean?
If you keep coming around,
Ji Hoon and I will only suffer.
Soo In.
Please...
stay out of my life.
Do that for me.
If you keep coming around,
Ji Hoon and I will only suffer.
Please stay out of my life.
Do that for me.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kim.
I hurt you so much.
This is all I can do.
I'm so sorry.
(Chungil Flour)
Come in.
- Did you ask for me? - Yes.
Give this to Mr. Han of Dongwoo Baked Goods.
It's important.
Yes, ma'am.
Chungil Flour.
Ma'am, it's Soo In.
So,
why did you ask to see me?
Who Mr. Kim is...
and why we can't be together...
I heard everything.
Who told you?
Did your mother tell you?
Yes.
Did you tell Seon Woo about it?
I didn't.
He can't hear about this.
Do you understand?
Don't worry now.
I know why we can't get married.
I'll deal with it.
Thank you.
I'm sorry too.
I thought that...
you and I had a special relationship.
I never imagined we'd be connected this way.
I told Mr. Kim that we should break up.
I'm afraid...
he will suffer a lot.
I'm worried.
He'll get better in time.
We can do nothing much but wait.
Right.
I hope you forget about Seon Woo,
get over him, and start over.
I hope...
you meet someone nice and have a good life.
Thank you.
Where on earth did Man Pyo go?
What does he think he can do by moving out?
Mom, Mom.
Did you find out?
Yes. Uncle's good friends with Mr. Ko,
so I asked him.
Uncle's staying at Soo In's.
What? At Soo In's? What's he doing there?
Mr. Ko lives there...
and so does the woman Uncle's dating.
What? Does he plan on living with the woman?
He has lost his mind.
It's not that. They had an empty room and he's renting it.
He'll be the death of me.
Do you know where that is?
Yes. Do you want to have a look?
Yes, I'll go and get him right now.
Hong Man Pyo!
What are you doing here?
What do you think I'm doing here?
Why are you here?
I told you that I won't come home until you accept Seol Hee.
Go back inside and get your things.
I won't come with you.
If you want me back, you and Jae Man will let me get married.
Jae Man's really angry.
He might even fire you.
He can't. I quit already.
What?
I'm looking for work, so you can't threaten me.
Will you stop this?
If you don't come home, I will make you.
What do you think you'll do?
If you ever go to Seol Hee, you and I...
are through.
How dare you say that to your sister.
I warned you. Do you want to tag along to my job interview?
I'll see you around, then. Bye.
Man Pyo! What's wrong with him?
Hello, Ms. Oh.
Are you here again instead of going to work?
No. I'm on my way to a job interview.
Are you really? Did you find work already?
Yes, because you said you don't like incapable men.
I came by to tell you that I won't ever make you go hungry.
You don't have to do this. You come from a good family.
Do you still not see how I feel?
I can overcome any hardship or obstacle life throws at me...
for your sake, but...
it really hurts when you act like this.
Don't be silly.
Won't you wish me luck for the interview?
Do your very best.
I'll treat you if I get the job.
Think what you want to eat.
See you later.
Taesan's Mr. Hong wants to be our delivery guy?
Yes. He begged me to give him work that...
I said I'd ask you.
Why would a factory overseer...
want to work here?
Did he get into trouble at Taesan?
It's not that. Apparently he likes Ms. Oh.
Tiffany's Ms. Oh? What does that have to do with this?
His family didn't approve of them,
so he left home for love.
Did he? His love isn't straightforward either.
Do you want to see how he manages?
I'd prefer someone younger.
We need help because we're old.
Isn't Mr. Hong old?
He is a bit,
but he delivered noodles all over town.
Don't you think it'll help if he knows his way around?
Teaching a novice everything from scratch is...
quite a hassle too.
Let's put him to work for a few days.
If it doesn't work out, let him go.
- Okay, let's do that. - All right.
He said he'd come over. You talk to him.
I'll take this to my restaurant.
Okay.
- See you. - Take care.
- Bye. - Bye.
Mr. Hong as out delivery guy?
So, Mr. Hong has a job interview today?
Yes. It's kind of frustrating. I don't know what he's up to.
He left home, so he can be with you.
I think that's cool.
It's not cool. He still has some growing up to do.
He's from a rich family and doesn't know how things work.
It's not that. He's so deeply in love.
Love doesn't put food on the table.
I don't think he'll last. He'll end up going back home.
What if he doesn't?
What if he stands his ground...
and gets permission? What will you do then?
I don't know. I don't want to think about what won't happen.
I should go. Thanks for the food.
- Hello. - I'm leaving.
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
Isn't it hot?
It's boiling out there. Get me some water.
Just a moment.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
A private detective?
You found Soo In?
What?
Give me that.
Hello? You found Soo In?
Where is she? Just a moment.
Get me a pen.
Where is she? Hongje-dong?
Hongje-dong. Okay.
Yes, I got it. Thanks.
What did he say? Where's Soo In?
I have to go to Seoul.
See you.
Soo In...
Where is this address?
It should be around here.
This is it.
This brat.
Dad.
You brat.
Dad. How did you find me?
That's not the point. What are you doing here?
You caused us such sadness by leaving the family...
just to live like this?
I'm sorry.
Your mom...
Do you know how much she missed you?
She called for you until the moment she died.
Do you know how badly she wanted to see you until she died?
You should have called.
Why didn't you call us once? What stopped you?
Mom.
Ji Hoon.
Who's he? "Mom"?
Is he... Is he your son?
We had a lot of customers today.
We did. You had a long day. Put those away and take a break.
I will.
Oh, no. I forgot.
What's wrong?
I forgot because we had a sudden wave of customers.
Dong Chul went to find Soo In.
What? Soo In?
A private detective called and he left right away.
Soo In was in Seoul.
When? When did he leave?
A few hours ago.
I have to go, Dal Ja.
You're back. Did you see Soo In?
You and I need to talk.
You knew all about it.
Why didn't you tell me?
I was going to.
When? After I died?
I didn't know how to tell you.
Why? Because of the kid?
This is unbelievable. My heart's still racing.
I couldn't even ask Soo In, so I came straight back.
I'm really sorry.
Where's the kid's dad?
He's dead.
What? He's dead? How?
I don't know.
What a mess.
That's why she hid away from us and didn't call home.
I'd rather not have known.
What should we do now?
How can we put up with her and her fatherless kid?
Now that you know, we can help her...
Why should we help her?
I'd bring her back home if she were alone.
Now she's an embarrassment.
How are we to live with this?
Don't tell Dal Ja or the others that we found her.
We'll cut ties with her. It's over.
Honey.
Don't mention her again.
It's best if we never see her again.
I don't believe this. This is infuriating.
- My goodness. - But...
A private detective called?
Yes. It had been so long that I'd given up hope of finding her.
He called today.
Lady Luck is on our side.
Why did Dong Chul come back alone?
He should've brought Soo In with him.
I know. The thing is,
he asked to see Young Sun as soon as he got back and that worries me.
He must have something to tell her.
What happened? What did he say? Did he see Soo In?
No. The address he got wasn't hers, apparently.
Was it not?
No.
They called to say they had her. We'll find her soon.
Don't be too disappointed.
Are you not done yet? Is there a lot to do?
No, I'm done.
The number I delivered and the inventory match up.
Does it? I watched you at work today.
You aren't too bad.
What did I say? I said You wouldn't be disappointed.
Because your relatives own a large company like Taesan,
I thought you wouldn't take us seriously.
You're actually much more hard-working that I took you for.
Am I allowed to take that to mean you'll let me...
work for you, Mr. Bang?
Yes, you're hired.
Am I really?
Thank you, sir.
I hope it works out.
You did a lot for your first day. Go home. I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Bye.
- Take care. - Bye.
You're back at last. Did you find Soo In?
Is that true?
Does she really have a kid?
Yes.
How come?
You must've been so shocked.
The little thing called her "Mom".
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I'm too embarrassed to talk about it.
This is between us. Don't tell anyone else.
Don't you worry. Who else could I tell?
She's such a brat.
An embarrassment to the family.
You have no choice, but to take her in.
I'm in no mood to do that.
I'd rather cut ties with her...
and pretend we're strangers than put up with that mess.
Think how much she must've struggled to raise the kid alone.
You should look after her.
That's what your late wife would want.
I can't stand this.
(Taesan Industries)
Taesan Noodles.
Hello, Mr. Choi.
Who's this?
Have you forgotten my voice already?
It's Reporter Cha.
What is it now?
Let's not talk over the phone. We should meet up.
Do we still have to talk?
I thought we'd closed our deal.
I wish, but I guess we must see more of each other.
What do you mean?
Congressman Seo Nam Seok.
He was a strong candidate, but he lost the nomination to Mr. Jung.
He must feel terrible.
We aren't close enough to joke about such things.
Get to the point.
I smelled something, so I looked into Congressman Seo's spy incident.
The whole thing was Mr. Jung's masterpiece.
Mr. Jung's much more ambitious...
than I took him to be.
Are you blackmailing us again?
It's not blackmail.
I'm suggesting a deal.
What do you think will happen if this information...
were to reach Congressman Seo's ears?
That rat.
How dare he. He doesn't know who he's dealing with.
We must do something before he tells Congressman Seo.
I think we should pay him off like he asked.
Get rid of him.
What?
He knows too much.
How can we be sure he won't tell anyone later on?
There's only one way.
Get rid of him for good.
I'll cook bean sprout soup for dinner today.
Dae Bong likes it.
Okay.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
Mother, it's Seon Woo.
Could we meet up right now?
I have something to tell you.
I have nothing to say to you.
I'll wait at Incheon Cafe until you come.
(Incheon Cafe)
What's she doing at a cafe at this time of day?
Thanks for coming to see me.
You can't keep coming here.
I'm sorry. I was so frustrated that I had to see you.
Soo In wants us to break up.
I think she's hiding something from me.
Do you know what that is?
No, I don't know anything.
Honey.
What are you doing here?
Hang on. You look familiar. I saw you before.
Right, in the street.
You said he's a regular.
What are you two doing in a cafe at this time of day?
Are you Soo In's father?
Yes.
Hello. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Kim Seon Woo.
Kim Seon Woo? How do you know Soo In?
Why are you meeting with my wife?
Father, I'm in love with Soo In.
I came here to ask for your wife's permission.
What?
You want to marry our daughter?
Yes. Do I have your permission?
So,
you know the situation Soo In is in?
Yes.
Are you sure?
I know about her son if that's what you're worried about.
I consider him my own.
Do you?
Soo In may be my daughter, but I must ask...
why someone like you would want to marry someone...
in her predicament.
What do you do? Do you have a job?
Yes. I stand to inherit my father's company, Chungil Flour.
What? Chungil Flour?
Are you the CEO?
Yes.
Hang on. I need to get my head around this.
You're the CEO of Chungil Flour...
and you want to marry my daughter who already has a son?
Yes.
But... Do the elders of your family know about this?
My parents are dead and I live with my grandmother.
She's against the marriage.
I'm sure she would be.
But regardless of that, I want to marry Soo In.
I came to ask for your wife's help...
because Soo In rejected me.
Are you saying my wife was aware of all this?
Yes. But now even she's against my marrying Soo In.
Okay, I get it now.
I see that you're serious.
I'll talk to the rest of my family. Let me pour you a drink.
Thank you.
Drink up.
I told Mr. Nam to deal with him tonight.
Is that really the only way?
We don't know what he'll do in the future.
Will you take responsibility?
- You met who? - Soo In's father.
How could he?
She left Seon Woo and Il Joo, and took our money with him.
How can I let him see my grandson?
Where is she?
Is someone joining us?
Dad.
