(Episode 91)
It's been a while.
How are you?
If you're free, could we have a chat?
It's been so long, I don't know where to start.
Are you well? How have you been?
Do you live in Seoul?
Yes.
I felt bad when I heard you'd left Incheon suddenly.
I thought we'd cross paths one day.
Are you married?
I met Se Young a while ago. Didn't she tell you?
She did say that you'd met,
but didn't give me the details.
Have you heard about your mother?
Yes, I have.
I see.
I'm so sorry about that.
Is your mother well?
Yes, she's fine.
Jeong Hee's married too.
I see. That's great.
Why are you here?
To meet someone.
Are you?
It was good to see you again...
and to see that you're well.
Yes.
You look like you're doing well too.
Really?
I come to Seoul often on business.
We'll be able to meet again, by chance, won't we?
I think I should go.
Did you have fun while Mom was out?
Yes. Where did you go?
I went to see someone.
Look at this. Min Soo gave it to me.
Did he? You must be pleased.
I thought we'd cross paths one day.
Are you married?
I will be good to you from now on.
I will make sure that you're never heartbroken again.
I don't think I can go back to when I loved you.
Don't do this, Jeong Wook.
Why did you do it? Why did you take the money?
Jeong Wook.
Hi.
I heard you went to Seoul. I'd have asked for a lift.
It was sudden. I couldn't tell you beforehand.
I see.
Is something the matter?
No. Why?
You don't look too well.
I must be a bit tired.
Se Young.
Never mind.
Why won't you go on?
It's nothing.
How are preparations for the election going?
I'm not doing much different. I plan to do my duties the best I can.
We need upright people like you in Congress.
You flatter me.
Mr. Jung, is it true your brother-in-law...
is going to marry a woman who owns a cafe?
What?
That wouldn't happen.
It won't, right? I knew it.
Rumors can get really strange.
It's not that strange. Love knows no boundaries.
But this is wrong.
Mr. Jung will become a great politician.
We can't have him being talked about like this.
You can't blame the person.
Blame love if you must blame something.
What do you do at home all day?
Must I suffer the consequences because you can't curb your brother?
Why? Did someone mention Man Pyo?
Everyone knows who he's dating.
Really? Oh, dear.
You know how much people love to talk.
I told you to break the two up.
You don't know how stubborn Man Pyo is.
He left home and found another job.
He's determined to get his way.
You're older. Will you not do anything?
I can focus on my work only when the house is in order.
You're all causing problems...
let alone help my campaign.
I'm sorry, honey.
Get then to break up before I take matters into my own hands.
Where did you go, leaving your office for so long?
Soo In's father came to see me.
Why are you doing this, Mr. Kim?
What if Madam Cho finds out?
Don't meet her family. Will you stop, please?
No. Meeting him again today confirmed something.
Like what?
That he didn't commit murder. That he was framed for it.
He wouldn't harm anyone.
What will you do about it, then?
I'll prove my grandma's mistaken...
and marry Soo In.
Don't try to stop me.
I will get what I want.
Mr. Kim.
Are you in?
Dad.
You brat.
How dare you walk out like that?
You left me there alone.
I'm sorry, Dad.
"Dad"? You may call me that,
but I see you think little of me.
Do you know how embarrassed I was?
Dad, please. I beg of you. Don't meet Mr. Kim again.
I might as well hear it.
Someone in your situation should be glad he wants to marry you.
You aren't a catch.
Dad.
What's your reason for backing out?
You should cling to him even if his grandmother disapproves.
Why are you turning away a huge blessing?
Dad, change your mind.
No! You have no right to make an excuse.
You left your family...
and are raising a son whom we don't know who the father is.
This is final. Stop upsetting Mr. Kim and marry him.
I won't.
Will you stop this?
Dad, please.
That's it. You're doing as I say.
Why did you go to Seoul?
Did you meet with Soo In?
Do you know what she did today?
I set up a meeting with Mr. Kim...
and she walked right out without even sitting down.
What? Did you meet Mr. Kim?
Why did you do that?
Why do you think? He can't give up on Soo In...
and she's being stubborn, so I had to do something.
I tried to get them to reconcile.
Please don't do that, honey.
The more you try, the worse it'll be for Soo In.
Why would it be worse for her?
She seems to know her place,
that Mr. Kim is way beyond her league or something.
He likes her. Isn't that enough?
You can't force her to marry a man she doesn't want to.
Honey, let's wait and help her find and marry...
someone she feels comfortable with.
Do you want her to meet someone like her and have a rotten life?
Why would you say that? That's not what I mean.
Then what do you mean?
Gosh.
What's the matter? Why are you yelling at her?
I'm glad you two are here.
Listen to me and then tell me what you think.
You want our opinion on something?
Soo In doesn't want to marry Mr. Kim, Chungil Flour's CEO.
What?
Why wouldn't she want to marry?
That's what I don't get.
She keeps insisting she won't marry him.
I'm frustrated already...
and now Young Sun's against it too.
What do you mean?
Do you against them getting married?
What do you think?
Is it wrong for me to try to get Soo In to marry Mr. Kim?
Dal Ja, you first. Are you against it?
Why would I be?
I'm so relieved Soo In finally found a good man.
Of course, I approve.
Dae Bong, you do too, don't you?
Of course. Mr. Kim's a good and humble man.
He's perfect for Soo In.
He's not just perfect, he's out of her league.
Why are you against the marriage?
Will you say something?
We're all for it, so why are you still saying no?
This is unbelievable.
I really don't know why.
Why won't Young Sun give in?
I wonder why. She must have a reason.
The man's family disapproves.
Do you think the old lady did or said something to her?
I doubt that, but even if that were true,
shouldn't she put up with that much for Soo In's happiness?
I don't see them getting married if Soo In's against it too.
I bet she's holding back because she's ashamed.
This is when Young Sun and Dong Chul should back her up.
I don't get why Young Sun doesn't want this marriage to happen.
I think the reason must be personal.
She wouldn't do it out of spite.
Whatever the reason is, I'm with my brother on this one.
If the CEO of Chungil likes her, we have no reason to complain.
What do you think?
You and I are married. We're as one.
I wish Soo In would get married and be happy.
We're all on the same page, so why isn't Young Sun?
I don't know what she's thinking.
This is final. Stop upsetting Mr. Kim and marry him.
(Chungil Flour)
I'd like to reopen the discussion of establishing...
an overseas branch.
The branch in Japan, you mean?
Didn't you say you'd put off that idea for a while?
I'm thinking of putting Seon Woo in charge.
I'd like to send him over to Japan, so he can settle there.
Do you think he'd want to go?
I'll do what it takes to send him.
He says he'll turn away from me and the company,
but he won't be able to.
He can't leave the company his father established.
He'll also know very well that he's the only person...
we can entrust with such an important venture.
That's true,
but I don't think he'll want to leave Soo In.
Yes. That's what I'm worried about.
I need you to think up a way to get Seon Woo...
to go to Japan.
This is the only way to separate Seon Woo from Soo In.
I heard your dad came to see you yesterday.
Yes.
You must've been so flustered.
I didn't think he'd do such a thing.
I should've and stopped him. I'm sorry I couldn't.
You don't have to apologize.
I don't know what I should do now.
He'll keep on insisting.
I think I should tell him the truth.
No, don't do that.
I don't think I can hide my ties with Mr. Kim anymore.
I will tell him everything. He will give up then.
It's best for everyone that you don't do that.
I'll try talking to Mr. Kim.
I'm so sorry for putting you through this.
Don't say that.
You must feel much worse than I do.
You can't even tell Mr. Kim who you are.
No. It's all because of what I did.
I'm so sorry you have to suffer like this...
and thanks for understanding.
Clothes really do make the man.
I should look the part of a rich man's father-in-law.
(Real Estate Agent)
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
Please have a seat.
Do you want a house?
Not really.
Are there any nice buildings for sale?
- A building? - Yes.
How tall a building are you thinking of?
Don't you think it should have at least three floors?
- Three floors? - Yes.
Just a moment.
Let me see... Three floors...
Three floors...
What are you doing here, ma'am?
There's something I'd like to ask.
Do you know Man Pyo found a job?
Yes, I do.
Then do you know where he works?
He works at a place called Dongbang Store.
Dongbang Store?
Oh, no. What should we do now?
Hello, Mr. Bang.
You're all dressed up today.
Do you have good news to share?
You could say so.
I think I'll get to meet someone important soon.
I decided to splurge on a suit.
How important is this person that you're so dressed up?
You'll see.
Someone important who will become a member of the family.
A member of the family?
Who's that?
It's Chun...
There's no rush. I'll tell you in due time.
You jokester.
Welcome, ma'am. What do you need?
I'm not here as a customer.
Did you hire Hong Man Pyo to deliver your goods?
Hong Man Pyo?
Oh, you must mean Mr. Hong.
Yes, we did. Who are you?
Aren't you Taesan's CEO Mr. Jung's wife?
I am.
What brings you here?
Are you here to see Mr. Hong?
I'm not exactly here to see him.
I need you to fire him.
Fire him? Why should we fire someone who's doing just find?
He really shouldn't be working in a place like this.
What do you mean by "a place like this"?
What's so bad about this place?
I'm sorry if I offended you.
I just need you to fire him today.
Who are you to think you have the right to tell us...
what to do with our staff?
All you have to do is what I asked and fire him.
Why are you complaining?
What? This is unbelievable.
We'll decide what we do with our staff.
Stop interrupting our business and get out.
- Get out! - Hey.
Get out of here right now.
- My goodness. - If you come here again,
I will really take action. Get going.
- I said go! - My goodness.
- Go away. - How dare you.
It's not like her brother's a toddler or something.
What does she think she's doing?
What's wrong? Are you sick?
No. I just feel under the weather.
Is it a cold?
You can't catch a cold.
Summer colds are horrible.
Why don't you close up and go home to rest?
I can't. Do you know how much I lose if I close early?
Do you care for money more than your health?
Yes, money's more important.
I'll get well soon. Don't worry.
You don't have to work so hard now.
What if I don't?
You have me. I'll make enough to support the both of us.
You really don't know how the world works.
You should get back to work.
Hello, sir. Sit over here.
Hang in there.
I promise you I will give you a great life.
A Japan branch?
Yes. I'd been thinking about it for a long time.
We can't postpone it any longer.
I'd like you to be in charge.
I know what you're thinking.
You want to send me away, so I'll break up with Soo In.
I don't care what you think.
Just remember that you're the CEO of Chungil Flour...
and the only one capable of this task.
No. I won't go to Japan.
How dare you...
Don't you care what happens to the company?
Don't put it like that.
You didn't make this decision for the company.
How...
If you want me to go, I'll marry Soo In and go with her.
Seon Woo.
Unless it's with Soo In and Ji Hoon, I won't leave.
That's final.
Mother.
Why are you here?
To see Soo In.
I miss her so much.
I told you already. Go away.
Leave my daughter alone.
Mother.
Why are you still here?
Will you please hear me out?
Is there still more you have to say?
How is Soo In? Is she well?
I think that's none of your business.
I heard you met my husband yesterday.
Yes. I didn't know what he'd had planned.
I'm sorry for making Soo In feel uncomfortable.
From now on, even if he asks to see you, don't.
You shouldn't meet up...
when Soo In doesn't want to marry you.
Mother, I understand why you're being so harsh,
but to be honest, it hurts.
You liked me.
My parents died when I was young.
I don't know what it's like...
to feel a mother's love.
I liked meeting you...
because you felt like a mother to me.
I want to marry Soo In...
and get along with you and your husband like you're my parents.
I want to treat you two the way I never got to treat them.
Can you please accept me, Mother,
as your son-in-law?
That's the only thing I want.
Why should I accept you?
Will you please stop upsetting Soo In and my family?
Thanks for coming over. Sorry for calling out of the blue.
It's okay. Is something the matter?
There's something I want to ask you.
You said you work for the chairperson of Chungil Flour.
Yes.
Then do you know what's going on between...
Soo In and the CEO?
Well, yes.
The chairperson doesn't approve of Soo In.
Why is that?
I can't say. I don't know.
Why wouldn't you know?
You must hear things while you drive her around.
Sorry.
Then from now on, tell me where the chairperson goes...
and what goes on so that I know everything.
I want to know why she doesn't like Soo In...
and what I can do to persuade her.
Can't you leave this up to Soo In and Mr. Kim?
I can't because they aren't getting anywhere.
If you start getting involved, it could put Soo In on the spot.
I'm doing this for a reason.
I have to get her married off while I can.
I need you to tell me everything you know about...
Chungil's chairperson, okay?
Come on, have a drink.
I want to marry Soo In...
and get along with you and your husband like you're my parents.
I want to treat you two the way I never got to treat them.
I'm home.
- Welcome home. - Hi.
Why are you in a suit and why'd you get your hair done?
Did you buy this suit?
Yes. It's an expensive suit.
Hang it up nicely.
Why did you buy something so expensive?
I'll be in-laws with Chungil soon.
I should start dressing up to look the part.
Why are you doing this?
What? Why do you think I'm doing this?
I had a drink with Tae Soo today.
I asked him to put in a good word for Soo In.
That's all.
Did you call Tae Soo?
You can't bother a busy man.
I'm doing all this for Soo In.
Tae Soo never says much. I doubt he'll be of any help.
- Honey. - Wait and see.
Once Soo In is married, the hard life is over.
We can enjoy life like we once did.
Will you stop this? What's wrong with you?
Why are you yelling at me?
Soo In doesn't like him.
You can't get involved like this.
Don't you care about her? She said no.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
We have to sort it out for her.
Would you be like this if she were your daughter?
How could you say that to me?
Don't you see how you're acting?
I'm not doing this for me. This is Soo In's chance to climb the ladder.
You do nothing but object.
You wouldn't be like this if she were your daughter.
You can't say that.
I don't want her to suffer under in-laws who don't like her.
Why does that matter?
If the kid's the problem, we can raise him.
What other problem is there?
There is another problem. They found out about you.
What about me?
That you were in prison for 10 years.
What?
Are you saying I'm the reason they disapprove of Soo In?
Yes. They don't like her...
because you have a murder record.
So will you please stop torturing Soo In?
Forget it. I'll deal with that.
What? How will you deal with it.
I'll talk to Chungil's chairperson.
I didn't kill anyone. I was framed.
I'll convince her.
Who would believe that? Our family and close friends do,
but would the chairperson believe you?
Will you please stop upsetting Soo In...
and just give up?
We're out of eggs. I'll drop by Dong Chul's store.
Dal Ja, can I go?
Do you want to? Okay, then.
Mr. Bang.
Hello.
Is my husband out?
He just left to go to Seoul.
- To Seoul? - Yes.
(Chungil Flour)
Honey.
What are you doing here?
We need to talk.
No, I have nothing to say to you.
Honey, there's something I must tell you.
What could you have to say?
Let go of me.
There's something you must know.
I'm busy, so get it over and done with.
What is it? What should I know?
Why are you stalling? Just say it.
You asked why I'm against Soo In's marriage.
Yes. Why are you against it?
I'll tell you the reason.
Just say it, then.
Chungil Flour's CEO Mr. Kim...
is my son.
What are you talking about?
Seon Woo...
is my son. I gave birth to him.
He's the son I'd thought I'd lost during the war.
What did you say?
Seon Woo...
is my son.
Are you Madam Cho's grandson?
You look a lot like your mother.
She must not know you're grown up. I wonder where she is now.
Grandma, did you deceive me all my life?
I think I should marry Soo In off to Mr. Kim.
They're my son and my daughter.
They aren't related by blood. They're strangers.
Are you really doing this for Soo In's sake?
I think my mother could be alive.
What do you mean?
Will you look for her?
