I even asked. I pleaded.
(Episode 81)
That you would turn him away.
I asked you to refuse him.
How could you do this to me?
Do you know what you have done?
Ma'am, I will be the best person I can.
I will make up for...
all the heartache I caused you over my lifetime.
I am so sorry.
- Please... - Shut it!
You will tell Seon Woo you changed your mind.
Tell him it can't be. You can't marry him. You will tell him that.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Are you saying you can't?
Ma'am.
I...
love...
Mr. Kim.
What? You love him?
Yes, I do.
Forgive me, ma'am.
Grandma.
Did you just hit her?
How could you do something like that?
How could you hit her?
Seon Woo.
Stop it, Mr. Kim.
Get up, Soo In. We're leaving.
- Mr. Kim. - We're leaving!
Seon Woo.
What do you think you're doing?
I didn't know you were this kind of a person.
I never thought you were capable of this!
I'm really disappointed.
Let's go, Soo In. We're leaving!
Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim.
Don't do this, Mr. Kim.
You're making things worse.
Sorry, Mr. Jang.
Mr. Kim. Don't just leave. You need to talk this out.
Please, Mr. Kim.
- Let's go. - You can't leave.
If you leave today, you will never be allowed to return.
If you walk out now, I'll take it to mean we shall cut all ties.
Mr. Kim.
Don't do this, Mr. Kim.
You must calm down and go home.
What if Madam Cho faints again?
Mr. Kim. You can't do this.
Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim!
Mr. Kim!
Mr. Kim, stop the car.
Stop the car!
You're too agitated right now.
You could cause a huge accident.
Sorry, Soo In. I just got so angry.
You need to calm down, go back,
and beg your grandmother for forgiveness, okay?
- I won't. - Mr. Kim.
I never thought my grandmother would hit you.
I didn't imagine she was capable of that.
I'm so angry.
I wouldn't mind not seeing her for the rest of my life.
You can't say that!
It's all my fault. I said I loved you.
You have to go home and say you went too far.
I don't want to.
Mr. Kim.
I'm really sorry you had to go through that because of me.
It's my fault.
If I'd known, I wouldn't have told her you accepted my love.
I don't mind, Mr. Kim.
Go back home and say you did wrong...
and that you're sorry.
We said we'd get through this together.
It's only natural that she's angry.
Fighting her won't solve anything.
Yes. You're right.
I promise that anything like this won't happen again.
I'll look after you, so trust me.
Okay?
I will.
Are you all right, ma'am?
I didn't think Seon Woo would react like this.
Ma'am.
Can you really not accept Soo In?
Why are you saying that too?
Seon Woo means too much to me.
No. This cannot be.
To be honest, I'm so worried.
I'm so afraid that what happened to his father could happen to Mr. Kim.
What do you mean?
You saw how he acted.
Ma'am. Must we relive the tragedy?
How could you...
say something like that?
When Mr. Kim's father died,
I had to watch what that heartbreak did to us all.
This time, I must stop...
the same thing from happening.
Mr. Kim will not give up on Soo In.
Ma'am, I think that this time...
you should give in to their wishes.
How is she doing? Is she okay?
Yes.
I feel so terrible about what happened.
It's all my fault.
It's tough on you too, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Things will only get tougher from now on.
You must be stronger.
You're right. I wish I were a stronger person.
This is the best I can do.
I really didn't want to hurt Soo In.
Tae Soo.
What should I do to protect her?
That's something only you can tell.
What I can say is that you are all Soo In has.
If you crumble like this,
she won't be able to last long either.
I even asked. I pleaded.
That you would turn him away.
I asked you to refuse him.
How could you do this to me?
Do you know what you have done?
I'm sorry, Tae Soo.
I'll stay just one night.
I know what you want to say.
I'll do as you said. I'll become stronger.
I will protect Soo In.
I will make sure our love lasts.
Mr. Kim...
will not give up on Soo In.
Ma'am.
I think that this time you should...
give in to their wishes.
Are you going upstairs without even greeting me?
Have you decided to not talk to me again?
I'm back.
What did you do all night?
Where did you sleep?
You don't need to know.
Come and sit down.
I don't feel like talking to you.
I'll go to my room.
What is Ms. Oh thinking?
Why does she just want to go on dates?
Why are you talking to yourself?
Mr. Ko. You know Ms. Oh.
The more I get to know her, the more mysterious she becomes.
I told you it wouldn't be easy.
Did she reject you?
What? No, she did not.
She said she'll date me but she won't marry me.
- Dating only? - Yes.
Don't you think that's strange?
We've known each other for years, so we could get married.
I just don't get why she only wants to date me.
Why don't you get it? I think it's painfully clear.
Is it?
A woman wants to marry a trustworthy and reliable man.
You are anything but trustworthy and reliable.
How so? I'm quite a catch if you ask me.
Marriage isn't like dating.
A married man must support a family.
You went and lost your money to con men way too many times.
No woman would want to marry a man like that.
I invested because I wanted to win big.
It's not like I meant to lose it.
What will you do now?
What else?
I'll do as Ms. Oh asks for now and see if I can persuade her.
Ms. Oh, will you really just date him?
Yes. Can't I do that?
If you like each other, you should get married and start a family.
Forget what people say. A woman needs a man.
I know that.
I'm just not sure if Mr. Hong is capable of caring for me.
A good man doesn't always make a good husband.
That's true, but you might as well marry him when he's willing to.
You're a woman and he's a man.
You'll lose out if you just date.
People will see and talk.
Who cares what people think?
How I feel is more important. I don't care about anything else.
Tae Soo, get my car.
Where's Ji Hoon?
Next door playing with his friend.
Ma'am.
I know...
what a terrible thing I'm doing to you.
I'm well aware.
You've done so much for me and Ji Hoon. You were so kind.
I don't know what to say.
Okay. Then I will ask you again.
Do you really...
love Seon Woo?
Don't just sit there.
If you do, tell me so.
Yes.
I feel really bad about this,
but...
I do...
love Mr. Kim.
Is my grandmother in there?
Yes.
Why? What is she doing here?
I don't know.
The reason I came here is...
Grandma, what are you going to say this time?
What are you trying to do?
Mr. Kim.
Since you're here, you might as well listen.
What are you going to say to us?
I have nothing to hear.
- Let's go, Soo In. - Mr. Kim.
Nothing you say will change how we feel.
I can't give up on Soo In.
Can you really not give up on her?
I can't, so you must give in.
Okay.
I'll let you do as you wish.
Do you mean that?
Do we have your permission?
I give in.
Thank you, Grandma.
We'll be good to you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Okay.
I know you're a good and honest person,
so I trust you'll do well without me telling you what to do.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm so sorry...
and grateful.
Please...
forget what I did to you...
last night.
I will.
Thank you for accepting me despite my shortcomings.
Thank you, Grandma.
Thank you.
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
Come in.
Mr. Nam just called. The police arrested Congressman Seo.
Did they really? The young man must've done as you said, then.
Yes, I think so.
If he testified that Congressman Seo bribed him to frame Man Pyo,
he will not be nominated,
nor will he have a future in politics.
Of course.
Are you sure the young man won't recant his statement?
If something goes wrong, we'll be the ones...
to really suffer the blow.
Don't worry, sir. That will never happen.
Okay.
Taesan Noodles.
Hello, Congressman Park.
He didn't seem like that kind of a man.
I had no idea he'd do such a thing out of greed and ambition.
You must have been so stressed out because of it all.
I felt terrible my brother-in-law suffered because of me.
I must say I'm glad that it all worked out in the end.
What happens to my reevaluation of the nomination?
Congressman Seo is out of the running.
We decided not to reevaluate your nomination.
Does that mean my nomination is secure?
Yes. That's right.
Thank you.
You've been through a lot.
I'm sure you can say the worst is over.
Now you can focus on your campaign.
I will.
I think you and Jung In got closer...
since she moved to Seoul.
Do you think so?
Yes. Jung In calls you often...
and you spend the whole day in Seoul.
Do you have so much to talk about?
Time flies when we talk about this and that.
It doesn't take long to drop off some food...
and you take hours.
Thank you, Young Sun.
What? What for?
For being nice to Jung In.
It's the right thing to do.
I must be even nicer to her from now on.
For Soon Ok's sake.
Right.
I wish Soo In were back in touch.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
Mother, it's Seon Woo.
I'd like to meet you if you're free.
I am free right now.
Okay, I'll see you there.
Who was that?
The butler you talked about?
What?
Oh, yes, it was him.
Were you very surprised?
There's some news I wanted to tell you in person.
What is it?
My grandmother gave her permission.
Did she really?
Yes. I'd like to meet your family...
and prepare for our wedding.
That's great news.
I'm so thankful towards your grandmother.
Aren't you pleased?
You look upset.
No, I'm so pleased.
Now that you'll marry Soo In, I think I should tell you something.
What is it you wish to say?
The thing is,
the rest of the family doesn't know Soo In's situation.
I heard about that.
Did you disapprove of Ji Hoon's late father?
Oh, yes, we did.
Does the rest of the family not know about Ji Hoon?
Jung In and I are the only people...
who know about him.
Does your husband not know about him either?
He doesn't.
I'd like you to be careful until Soo In and I...
break the news to the others.
Okay. I understand what you're concerned of.
Thank you.
I'm sorry you have to do this.
It's fine. Don't say that.
Knowing that Soo In and Ji Hoon will have...
such a great husband and father...
makes me so happy and pleased.
But our family and Soo In...
will need some time.
Mr. Kim.
Please take good care of Soo In.
I will. We'll take things slowly and carefully, one by one.
You don't have to worry.
(Incheon Cafe)
I'll see you again soon.
Okay. Goodbye.
Honey, who was that young man?
Honey.
Why are you so surprised?
Who was that?
He's a regular at our restaurant.
We met in the street and I wanted to chat.
I see.
Did you make a delivery?
Yes.
You're sweating a lot.
The weather got so hot so suddenly.
Just one delivery and I'm drenched.
- It's so hot. - Let's go.
I'll make you a cold cereal smoothie.
A cereal smoothie? I'd like that.
Let's go.
Congratulations, Dad.
Thanks.
Congratulations, Jae Man.
I was worried that I'd ruined your chances.
I'm so relieved I didn't.
Thank you.
Why the long face?
You went through all that trouble because Jae Man got into politics.
I get upset when I think about the days he used to belittle you.
Don't be silly.
Jae Man's just as much a victim as I was.
The other congressman framed me to win the nomination.
Right?
Yes. Mr. Jung was just as stressed throughout the whole ordeal.
See? Jae Man got me out of the CIA too.
Stop being so gloomy and cheer up.
It must be great to be as soft as you.
I don't need to cheer up.
It was just a passing comment.
A lot happened so far,
but thank you all for bearing with me.
We still have a way to go.
I hope you'll all stay strong.
Don't you worry. I'll help as best I can.
Right, Dad. I'll do what I can as well.
Good. Thanks, everyone.
Is there something you wish to say?
I'm sorry about what happened.
It was really unnecessary and unfortunate.
I made it worse for you because I was so nervous.
You don't have to say that. I'm really fine.
I understand. Of course you were worried.
You say you're fine,
but I can imagine what you went through.
Tell me if you have any aches or pains.
I will. I'm really okay now, so you don't have to worry.
Spend this on whatever you want.
I heard you're dating. Buy her a present...
and take her out.
You're the best.
Thank you very much.
Go and get some rest.
Good night, Jae Man.
I went to Incheon...
and told your mother that Grandmother gave her permission.
Did you?
Yes. Your mother told me something.
What did she tell you?
That your father disapproved of Ji Hoon's father...
and that's why you hadn't called your family.
I also know that's why your family doesn't know about Ji Hoon.
Right.
Don't hang your head and don't be afraid.
We'll take a step at a time.
I will be there for you.
Thank you.
How is Madam Cho?
She's fine. Why do you ask?
I know how hard it was for her to give permission.
I feel terrible when I think of that.
She had no choice but to give in because of you,
but she must feel terrible now.
You must be nice to her.
You must treat her even better at times like this.
Do you know what I mean?
Yes, I do.
I'll do as you say and take better care of her.
Thank you, Mr. Kim.
I owe you so much for helping me out.
I apologize for taking so long to thank you.
It's fine. You must have had a lot to take care of since then.
I heard that what happened caused problems with your nomination.
Did you manage to sort everything out?
Yes, we managed, thank you.
Did you? That's great to hear.
Right.
Ma'am.
You don't look too well. Is something bothering you?
Not at all. It must be the weather.
I can't stand the heat.
I see.
You should take things slow and look after yourself.
Thanks for your concern.
It's great news.
It's the best outcome for both you and Ji Hoon.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Mr. Kim told me that you met.
Did he?
I remembered what you'd said when I couldn't make up my mind.
I thought about it.
It was a great help.
Was it? I'm glad I could be of some help.
You two make a lovely couple.
Mr. Kim will be a great father to Ji Hoon.
You must be happy.
Make your mom happy and proud.
I will.
So...
if you're to get married,
shouldn't you tell the family?
I should. I'd been thinking about that.
I'll introduce Mr. Kim to Jung In first,
and then tell the rest of the family in turn.
Okay. Let's take things slowly.
I'll help you.
Will you stop by to see Tae Soo?
Dal Ja's alone at the restaurant. I should hurry back.
I can pass the food to Tae Soo.
No.
He does a lot for you and Jung In.
I'd feel better to see and thank him in person.
Okay. Do you know the way to Chungil Flour?
Yes. I went there once to see Tae Soo.
Don't you worry. See you soon.
The new hires start work at the factory next week?
Yes. We hired 10 people this time.
They'll work in shifts.
Tell the factory manager I'll drop by tomorrow.
Sure.
Congratulations, Mr. Kim.
Madam Cho finally gave her permission.
Thank you. I owe you a lot for your help.
I didn't do anything.
Your unwavering love and determination is what won her over.
Was that the biggest obstacle?
I think so, but I still have to meet Soo In's family.
There's a long way to go.
You'll do just fine.
I'm sure Soo In's family will like you.
Thanks for always trusting me.
You have no idea what a great boost that is.
I know and believe that you will never let me down.
I will stay true to Soo In...
and make you proud.
You do that.
(Chungil Flour)
I forgot to give him this.
Mr. Jang needs this.
Hello there.
Madam Lee.
What are you doing here, Mr. Jang?
What? Oh, I...
Why are you here?
I'm here to...
- Mr. Kim. - Hello.
- How is everything?
Everything's fine.
Do we have the campaign funds?
We must take from the foundation.
The foundation?
See if any of the orphanage directors will cooperate.
(Shinchon Boutique)
I heard that Yoon Jung In works here.
She left to see her sister.
Her sister?
Would you mind if I call you by your name?
I feel sorry for Ji Hoon's late dad.
I have to tell you something.
What do you mean?
