I wrote that,
but I'm guessing it's what CEO Shin wrote too.
So you know.
You're Shin Min Joon.
Of course I know,
Park Do Hoon.
What a pity though.
I'm now Shin Min Joon,
and you'll forever be Kang Nam Koo.
You never can think one step ahead, can you?
This will have you behind bars.
That's my plan.
What?
You're the one going to prison, not me.
As if.
CEO Shin's son, Shin Min Joon.
Hong Myung Sook's son, Shin Min Joon.
I don't know how you found out, but it's over for you.
I own your mom's shares,
and your dad is on the brink of death.
You're wrong.
My mom owns an auto shop,
and my sister is intellectually disabled.
Do you find that amusing?
Of course I do. I'm Shin Min Joon,
- the CEO of TMO Group. - Is that why...
you ran over CEO Shin?
Is that why you tried to kill me?
I've done nothing wrong.
This is all because of your uncle,
so take it up with him.
I ended up here because of your mom and uncle.
They're the ones who should apologize to me and Mo Ah.
That's why I'm punishing them.
I want them all gone.
You only want a good life for yourself.
You know I'm an orphan.
What's so wrong about an orphan looking out for himself?
Why couldn't you do that without...
running over CEO Shin...
and killing Jae Min?
If I had my way, it'd be you who I ran over,
so be grateful to your father.
Also, don't mention Jae Min.
This company is for him.
I'm giving it to my son up above.
I'm sure he'll be honored to receive it.
I warned you not to mention him.
When Mo Ah was mourning over his death,
what were you doing?
When Jae Min fell after he took drugs,
you were on the phone with Assemblyman Cha.
You were busy covering up the fact he took drugs.
You ran over CEO Shin only to save yourself.
How can you call yourself a father?
You're not worthy of being one...
nor are you worthy of being a son.
And now you're done for.
Don't be ridiculous.
You own the paper company, so you're going down.
Reunite in prison with your mom, Ms. Hong.
I'll make sure to visit you, Shin Min Joon.
You still don't get it.
You're the one going to prison.
Ms. Hong only pretended to manipulate the stock price.
We set up a trap to catch you.
One fitting for a fraud you are.
You're lying. I checked myself.
You're the one going down.
There's nothing wrong with the stock prices.
Like I said, it's a trap.
Thanks to CEO Shin, you were blinded with desperation.
Nam Koo, you're in on this with my mom, aren't you?
You shouldn't be.
You know how she is. She's evil!
Have you forgotten what she did to Mo Ah?
You should've set up a trap for her, not me!
I'm sorry about everything.
I'll give up my seat as CEO. You can run the company instead.
Just don't touch my shares.
You can be Shin Min Joon, and I'll be Park Do Hoon.
I'm not Shin Min Joon.
I'm Kang Nam Koo.
I don't wish to live as him.
You're lying.
Who'd give up a chance to be rich?
Look closely because I do.
My mom and my sister can't live without me.
Is that so?
You're right. You're Kang Nam Koo.
Then I should reveal the truth.
I'll tell Ms. Hong that you're her son.
I should tell your hardworking mother...
to stop making food for CEO Shin's family...
because you're their biological son.
I know why you haven't told anyone the truth.
That's just who you are.
Tell them if you can.
Do you even have the guts to?
I'll eat my hat if you do.
Mo Ah, I'm sorry.
What's gotten into you?
Don't do this. What do you get by sending me to prison?
Just kill me. That'll be better for everyone.
I'll be at least locked up for five years.
We'll talk again when you get out.
You can serve more time for attempted murder.
Why aren't you sending my mom to prison too?
Why am I your only target?
Is it because Nam Koo's the son?
Is it because he's Min Joon, her son?
You have Young Hwa,
so plead with her father.
He won't help you easily this time though.
One wrong move, and he'll ruin his chances as president.
I won't go down like this.
You wait and see. I'll have you all arrested!
How did it go?
It's done. Should I make people aware?
No, give it more time to brew.
He'll have no way out of it then.
You did great. If only I had asked you sooner.
Don't seem so happy. I didn't do it for you.
I know it was for Mo Ah. Anyway, I'm probably next.
Just know I'm not an easy target.
Ms. Hong only pretended to manipulate the stock price.
We set up a trap to catch you.
So Mom was behind all of this.
Give me your shares...
and I'll talk to Nam Koo on your behalf.
Why would you...
when you were in on this too?
Make the choice.
Either hand me the shares or go to prison.
If you keep doing this, I won't go easy on you anymore.
You're talking as if you've been doing so.
Greed can blind you from seeing your own parents and children.
It's why you attempted to kill my husband.
You should leave.
There's really so much I can take.
Didn't Nam Koo tell you?
If you don't hand over the shares, you'll go to prison for 10 years.
The only one who can help me now is Young Hwa.
I've looked for you everywhere. We finally meet again.
Have you been well?
I see you haven't changed a bit.
You did to Do Hoon what you did to me.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Still, I apologize for what happened to you.
Do you really think that's enough?
It's not like you to...
use naive Mo Ah to come after me though.
You should've settled your grudge with me yourself.
I was going to do so on my own,
but I felt bad for Mo Ah.
First you killed my family, and now Jae Min.
Don't blame me for your unlucky investment in stocks.
Still, I'll apologize again. I'm sorry.
A scourge will be upon you soon.
You should brace yourself.
I don't think I'll be punished by what happened 20 years ago.
It's not 20 years. To be exact, it's been 30.
30 years ago?
Hasn't it been 20 years since we first met?
You'll find out what I mean soon.
I can't understand any of your cryptic words.
I'll see you around then.
(TMO Group Stock Price Plummets)
How's your husband's company?
I heard about the stock price on the news.
I just want to remind you that it's your dad's election soon.
We can't have any trouble.
My mom's awfully worried about you.
Will the stock price soon bounce back?
No, I was played.
You were played?
What do you mean?
Nam Koo was playing me.
He, Mo Ah, and my mom set up a trap together.
I'll be going down for this.
What?
Are you saying you're going to prison?
Your father.
Only he can help me. I'll talk to him and...
You can't.
He can't risk getting involved in this matter.
What about me then?
I'll go to prison for this.
Plead with your mom first.
Tell her you'll give up your shares,
and she'll change her mind.
She won't budge when...
she planned this to burn me.
My dad's not an option.
It's the presidential election soon.
I'll resign from the company now.
I should too then. There's no point in me staying.
No, you need to keep working here.
Why?
Stay at least until CEO Shin wakes up.
I'll feel much better.
Why should I? There must be a reason.
Mr. Il Kwang and I have something left to do.
Once that's over...
What on earth do you think you're doing?
This isn't like you planned.
The stock manipulation scandal should've only targeted Do Hoon,
but you're involved too.
What are you talking about?
That can't be. I made sure we were clean.
I know you made sure of that,
but Hong Myung Sook stabbed you in the back.
She played you!
This is why you should've kept your eye on her.
You should've been all over her.
Nam Koo, what happened?
Anyway, I'm probably next. Just know I'm not an easy target.
If this gets out,
you two will go down with Do Hoon as well.
- Mo Ah! - You better not...
be thinking about telling Myung Sook you're her son.
- Sir... - That you can't do.
It's not what we promised.
Myung Sook has to go to jail no matter what.
You can't tell her until then.
Jeon Byung Soo came by,
so Mo Ah and Nam Koo must know by now.
Does Mo Ah have Jeon Byung Soo's shares?
I don't know for sure, but that's likely.
The company's image is down the drain though.
That had to be.
I'll restore it once all three are in prison.
When should we crack the story open?
Next week sounds appropriate.
It's Mo Ah.
All right, you're dismissed.
This isn't like we promised.
Why are our names on the bank account?
Did you think I'd let you go free?
You were coming after me anyway.
I only made the first move.
I'll give up my revenge and leave the company.
Just do as we promised.
You shouldn't have started this if you were afraid of time in jail.
I don't care about me, but I do about Nam Koo.
He won't sit by and let you rot in prison.
Just serve your time.
If Nam Koo gets locked up,
you'll shed tears of blood.
I might drop a few tears, but it wouldn't be of blood.
Don't tell Myung Sook who Nam Koo really is.
That's not what we agreed on,
and Nam Koo wouldn't want it.
You know how much he loves his mom and sister.
You're a third party in all of this.
Only Nam Koo can tell her.
Someday, you'll regret this.
She's a scary woman.
She had the stock price drop in half just to trap you and Mo Ah...
not knowing that you're her son.
Unbelievable.
Tell her that you're Min Joon,
and it'll all be over.
What about my mom and sister then?
What about Mo Ah?
She was willing to resign for me.
She wanted revenge for Jae Min,
but she'd still resign for me.
I can't do that to her.
What if you're in prison though?
Your mom and sister won't want that...
and neither will Mo Ah.
Just finish your drink. I'm infuriated as it is.
Customers have been talking about TMO Group's stock price.
What's going on?
I already explained it. It's no big deal.
Things don't seem good.
See? The customers were right.
Will it ruin the company?
I heard it was planned,
but a company that big will survive.
It was planned? Do you mean it was done deliberately?
Hello, everyone.
There's my sister-in-law!
- Did Grandma approve? - We don't know yet,
but she was moved by Nam Hui at the hospital.
Is Chun Soo home? I came to see him.
You don't know who really cares until you've been sick or ill.
For Chun Soo, I guess that's Nam Hui.
Chun Soo, wake up.
Let's go and get you some herbal medicine.
I'm good. I'd rather sleep.
Don't be like that and follow me out.
It's better to stay healthy...
than wait until you're terminally ill.
Mother, it's me!
Mom, let's go.
We'll go with Nam Hui and get a cup of coffee.
Nam Hui, I was touched.
I can't believe someone would cry for me.
It felt amazing.
Will you cry like that if I die too?
Of course. I'll take Nam Hui's hand...
and cry for three days straight.
You should live longer, so please don't say that.
Not too close! I haven't approved yet.
Hi, Kkot Nim.
Didn't you say they broke up?
You were happy that they did.
Anyway, I was hoping to ask you a favor.
- What is it? - Can she wash dishes...
at my daughter-in-law's restaurant?
There's no one to hire these days.
At that tiny little restaurant?
Your daughter-in-law can do it herself.
Come on.
You said that she can't make deliveries...
or add up the bill at your restaurant,
so you were using her as a maid.
I'm offering her a job since I felt bad.
When did I say that?
Besides, why would you feel bad for her?
Of course I do.
If she's not to pity, then who is?
How dare you say that!
Your jobless son should wash the dishes.
Also, there's nothing to pity about her.
She has a city employee as a husband.
Mother!
Mom, did you just give us your blessing?
If you're bored, come by to play cards.
Bring your clever daughter-in-law too.
I'd like to see just how smart she is!
Let's go. Come on.
My gosh.
See you, ma'am.
- Mom, wait for us. - Mother!
What now?
Nam Koo would probably take the fall.
Are you here to see if I had died?
How are you doing?
Don't bother getting me out.
I don't want your pity.
That's not why I'm here.
I'll recant my testimony and have you released.
You're sick, so they'll grant you bail immediately.
Is there something wrong with the company?
Please save Nam Koo.
Mother cut the company stock price in half,
and now she's going to have him arrested.
What are you talking about? Why Nam Koo?
She's burning everything down just to get rid of Do Hoon.
Your services are no longer in need now.
Why all of a sudden?
It's because I feel guilty in a way.
I'll still open a restaurant for you though.
I'd like dinner too.
Go ahead. You won't be around for much longer anyway.
What do you mean I'm going to live here forever.
I'm not going to prison.
I'll go and get some doenjang.
What now?
Are you going to blackmail me with my slush fund ledger?
You really should've known better.
You won't reveal it,
not when Young Hwa's dad is your only lifeline.
The ship's sinking anyway.
Let's all go down together.
Go down on your own...
since he won't save you.
I already asked Young Hwa's mom for a simple favor,
but she said she had to decline.
With the election coming up, they have to be cautious.
There's no way they'd help a son-in-law who committed a crime.
Just go to prison.
That's where you belong anyway.
I won't go down like this.
What do you think you're doing?
Stop putting me to the test.
There's only so much I can take.
Go back to your seat and stuff yourself.
You don't scare me.
Mom.
What's the meaning of this?
You promised me you'd be good to her.
Go upstairs to your room.
Right now!
You have impeccable timing. How did you get out?
I came to see if you really cut our stock price in half.
I guess Mo Ah told you.
You can get rid of Do Hoon,
but not by sacrificing the company.
You just saw why I had to go to the extreme.
Then just get rid of him,
and leave Nam Koo alone.
A few days in prison has made you a better man.
A few more could make you warm up to me.
Have the company back the way it was.
You'll bring it down at this rate.
That I can't do.
I'm taking this chance to take Mo Ah and Nam Koo down.
I'm sure you'll be able to make the company bounce back.
Mom, you were right to give them your blessing.
It was worth being terminally ill.
It took care of all their problems.
Seeing Nam Hui wail almost made me cry too.
Women who cry a lot don't lead pleasant lives.
You're already worrying about your daughter-in-law.
Chun Soo, you're a lucky guy.
I couldn't have done it without all your help.
Why do you keep checking your phone?
Pardon? It's nothing.
As if. I'm sure you're waiting for Nam Koo to call.
Will they have the same in-laws then?
You and Nam Koo should set a date too.
Marry around the same time.
Congratulations on your marriage.
Thanks. I'll treat you and Nam Koo to dinner sometime.
Let's eat!
Who knew that being diagnosed as terminally ill...
can make someone approve of a wedding?
Nam Koo, you and Mo Ah should marry too.
What?
Right. Maybe after you.
Mom, will Nam Koo walk me down the aisle?
Yes, I guess so.
What would I have done without Nam Koo?
You're right about that.
If I'm not available, ask Jong Dae instead.
I'll let him know in advance.
No, don't be ridiculous.
Are you going somewhere?
Why would you ask Jong Dae that?
You never know. I might be on a business trip.
I'm not getting married without you.
I'll only walk down the aisle with you.
All right. We'll make that happen.
It's Managing Director Shin. I'd like a word.
I'd like to help you out of this mess.
Hand me the bank account and all of the books.
Help Mo Ah instead.
That won't happen.
Myung Sook would never agree to it.
I'll ask her to show you mercy though.
Take care of your health.
That's what you should do.
Why do you think Mo Ah came to me?
She doesn't feel bad for me.
I'm one of the people to blame for Jae Min's death.
I want to do right by her before I die though,
so hand over the bank account.
If we wait any longer, I won't be able to help you.
Mo Ah will be devastated if you go to prison,
and so will your mom and sister.
Just do as I say.
I'll think about it.
Tae Hak, it's me, Tae Jin.
Can you hear me?
Please wake up soon so I can say goodbye.
Why are you sleeping here? Go back to your room.
I'm staying.
I'm going to sleep here until my wedding day.
You're not saying you won't get married though.
Nam Koo wants me to.
Let's have Nam Koo sleep here too.
It'll be like old times.
Time sure does fly.
My baby's all grown up.
At my wedding,
Nam Koo will walk me down the aisle.
I probably will cry.
Don't ask for our help regarding the stock manipulation scandal.
Please help me. I beg of you.
Please, Mom. Can you ask Dad?
Please, just this once. I'll be in your debt forever.
I can't go to prison.
You should've been satisfied when your mom adopted you.
You must have left her with no choice.
I've known her for decades more than you.
She may be greedy,
but she always has a good reason.
You must've forced her hand.
I'm sorry for not being the biological son.
Would you have refused to help me if I were?
- You can't do this to me. - How dare you!
I'm ending it here for the sake of your baby.
You should've been grateful to just be adopted.
Yes, I'm terribly sorry.
Just know this though.
I'm the father of your grandchild.
That fact will never change.
That ingrate.
How dare he threaten us.
If we wait any longer, I won't be able to help you.
Mo Ah will be devastated if you go to prison,
and so will your mom and sister.
Look where you're going.
Busy, are we?
Assemblyman Cha must've turned you down.
I'm better off than you though.
How does it feel to have betrayed by your own mother?
As if you care.
Let's do this.
If we stay quiet, neither will go down for this.
Then you'll target Ms. Hong.
Your uncle will come after you with his golf club,
and I won't stop him.
Of course. She is your biological mom after all.
It's every man for himself then.
We'll see who ends up surviving this mess.
I do have the guts.
Once the ledger gets out,
you'll all be done for.
How could you talk that way to my mom?
I was barely out of line. Actually, I haven't even started.
You know what this is, right?
Your parents received money from my mother's slush fund.
Now go and ask them again.
Is this really how it's going to be?
Think of our baby.
Go to your dad or I'll go to a TV network.
You'll soon be a father.
If you stall, once the election is over...
My mother won't let me stall.
Also, how can you mention our baby?
I remember how you were with Jae Min.
If you hadn't drugged Mo Ah,
if that drug never existed in our lives,
Jae Min would still be alive.
If you had given up on him,
he'd still be alive!
Once I lose the company,
your parents will treat me like vermin.
As will you.
All right, fine. Hand me the flash drive.
I'll talk to my dad.
That's right. Think of our baby.
You don't want the father to be an orphan and a convict.
This is my answer.
You're not worthy of being a father.
Are you insane? Do you know what this is?
This is my lifeline. How dare you crush it.
How dare you!
Young Hwa?
Young Hwa. Young Hwa!
Young Hwa, Young Hwa.
(Hankuk Medical Center)
When did the pain start?
About 10 minutes ago.
How's her hemorrhage? I want an ultrasound.
Yes, Doctor.
What's going on? How is she?
She wasn't hit hard.
I won't know for certain until I run all the tests,
but it's likely that she'll miscarry.
Be good to Young Hwa.
Without her, you have nothing.
You have Young Hwa,
so plead with her father.
I made it clear with Nam Koo.
Mr. Choi will bring him shortly.
I'll try and persuade Myung Sook again.
I'm sorry I can't help you.
I'll be fine as long as Nam Koo is.
I'd like to visit Jae Min sometime.
Would that be all right?
Although, we will be meeting soon anyway.
Sir, Kang Nam Koo went to see Ms. Hong.
What? Why?
Maybe he's trying to negotiate with her.
Nam Koo.
What are you doing here?
- We can't both go to prison. - Then let me.
Mr. Shin promised to get you out of this mess.
Would you be able to take that deal?
I'll take the fall. I'll go to prison instead.
- I can't let you. - Nam Koo, please!
Jae Min died and your world fell apart.
How could I let you go to prison knowing that?
Would you be able to?
Tell me. Could you if you were me?
I'm willing to take the fall. I'll go to prison,
so stay out of this.
She's my mom though.
She's my mom.
The woman you badly want to burn is my biological mother.
Hong Myung Sook is my mom.
You're willing to go to prison and forgive her...
for me.
How would that make me feel?
I can't even look at you or Jae Min for that matter,
so how can I let you go to prison?
She killed your one and only son,
and now she'll send you to prison.
I can't live with myself knowing that.
I'll tell her.
I'll tell her that you're her son.
Go ahead.
Tell her if you can keep it a secret from my mom and sister.
Nam Koo, it's you.
You're sipping tea while others fight for their lives.
That's just how my life is.
Don't think I stabbed you in the back though.
After all, we live in a dog-eat-dog world.
You must know that already.
Keep Mo Ah out of this.
That I'll never do. Now leave.
Again with that temper of yours.
Fine. At least one of you need to go to prison though.
Is this really necessary?
Yes, it is.
I have to go this far because my husband's incapacitated...
and his company is tanking.
Now, who is it going to be? You or Mo Ah?
If that's how it's going to be,
I'll go to prison.
(I Am Sorry, but I Love You)
I wonder how it'd feel to send...
her own son to prison.
She must have a photo of her son somewhere.
Where should I hide this?
What are you doing?
Why are you going through my drawers?
