(Episode 26)
What?
Go Ya...
- is looking for me? - Yes.
She told me that if I didn't let her meet you,
she'd let Ji Seok know everything about my past.
She threatened me.
How can you do this to me?
I can't believe you did this to me!
What is this?
I can't live here.
What should I do?
Go Ya is looking for me?
Why?
Yes, hello?
Hello?
What was that? A prank call?
Come on. Hurry.
Goodness, my phone.
Oh, gosh.
My goodness.
The person you have reached is not available.
Today's your third interview, right?
Your dream will finally become a reality today.
Congratulations in advance.
I also have something to celebrate.
Call me after your interview if you're curious.
She must be in the interview.
Choi...
(Choi Go Ya)
First...
(First Snow)
Hey, is he gone?
He is.
That was close.
If you're that scared, why are you stalking your cousin?
You must have a lot of time on your hands.
Goodness.
Who's the one that sent me this picture?
It's you.
So have you seen this woman after this day?
It doesn't matter even if she did come again.
I just passed them by briefly.
Come on, take a closer look.
Don't you remember anything?
How can I remember anything from a picture of the back of her head?
You can easily discern stuff on an X-ray picture.
Take another look. Try to remember her face or the way she dressed.
Anything is fine. Come on.
- I remember. - What?
Come to think about it,
there is someone in this hospital who knows a lot about him.
Gosh, I'm talking about Doctor Han.
Ji Seok's uncle, you mean?
Exactly. Why don't you ask him?
There he is.
- Doctor Han. - Hey, pretend like you're sleeping.
Like I'm asleep?
He must've been really bullied...
to be calling on some doctor's name in his sleep.
Doctor, I'm sorry. Please give me another chance.
Are you insane?
If he finds out that I've been digging behind Ji Seok's back,
he'll tell him right away.
Then Ji Seok won't let me live.
What does he do for a living? He's a lawyer.
He likes doing things by the law,
so he might sue me for defamation.
Then you should stop.
Why on earth are you concerned about...
someone whom your cousin dates?
I'm not concerned. Something seems fishy.
I can usually spot anyone that he dates on my radar,
but I can't seem to get a hold of this woman.
Maybe she's the type that's completely off your radar.
- Like what? - My gosh.
What? Really?
(Min Ji Seok Law Office)
When I chose you, I had to give up on my family.
But I didn't give up my pride.
Ji Seok should never find out I've ended up like this.
If you bother Ji Seok,
I won't see you again. Do you understand?
Aunt Na Ra.
Hey. Ji Seok.
Why is he taking so long in the restroom?
Does he have an upset stomach?
She's beautiful.
Did you miss me that much?
- I did. - You're dressed so lightly.
What if you catch a cold?
What can I do?
I suddenly missed you too much.
Then how did you live away from me for such a long time?
That's why I have returned. I thought I might die.
I couldn't hold your warm hands.
I couldn't stare into your handsome face.
I couldn't listen to your gorgeous voice.
I didn't think I could stand that anymore.
That's sweeter than any love confession I've heard.
If I heard that from another woman, I might have took her hand.
I'm not joking.
While I lived away from you,
I couldn't call you...
even when I missed you a lot.
I was afraid I'd want to rush back to Korea when I heard your voice.
So I held myself back as much as I could.
But now that I'm here with you again,
I don't think I can live away from you anymore.
Is this because of Mom?
Are you afraid that she won't let us meet?
No, I just keep getting scared...
that I might have to say goodbye to you again.
I don't want to do that anymore.
Then what?
Does your nephew know?
That you ran off with a guy who had two kids...
and another one in his ex-wife's womb?
Does he know that not only did you threaten her to abort,
but you ran off with the money...
for the unborn kid's operation, destroying their family?
Aunt Na Ra.
What? Oh, it's nothing.
I must be getting old, saying these unnecessary things.
Don't worry.
There is no way we will be separated again.
No matter what happens.
Gosh, it's so cold.
(Closed for personal reasons)
What kind of a feast will she be preparing?
She even closed her shop.
It's so cold.
Gosh, it's so cold.
Do you think Go Ya is doing her interview right now?
My gosh, I'm so nervous right now.
It must be worse for her.
She must be doing okay, right?
Don't worry about her.
She was the top candidate to pass the second screening,
so she pretty much made it.
Come taste the soup.
What's this? You made seaweed soup.
Are you insane?
What did I do?
Have you forgotten where Go Ya is right now?
Do you think I have dementia? She went for her interview.
Exactly.
Why would you make seaweed soup on her interview day?
Oh, right. I didn't think about that.
How can you be so careless?
You made so much.
Go Ya loves seaweed soup.
I just wanted to make something she likes.
What have I done?
(Waiting Room)
Today is supposed to be a good day.
Interviewees, please follow me.
Okay.
(WL Group Secret Recipe Contest Final Interview)
Ms. Jeong, you majored in hotel cooking.
Yes. It's been my dream since I was little.
I improved my skills by taking cooking classes.
You're a talent we've been looking for.
Ms. Lim,
you wrote in the letter that your father is a cook.
Is he the one we all know?
Yes, it's him.
Your father is so famous.
I know. I see him cook on TV...
all the time these days.
Like father, like daughter, I guess.
- Thank you. - Now...
You're the one who received the highest score in the test.
I was looking forward to meeting you.
That's right. All the judges...
praised Ms. Choi's idea.
Thank you.
Well... Your resume says...
you dropped out of college.
- You didn't graduate? - Sorry?
No, I didn't.
Do you mean you only finished high school?
Yes.
How did a high school graduate get to the final interview?
Well...
Our company values competence more than...
- educational background. - Be quiet.
Those with good educational backgrounds are more competent.
- Director, but... - Cut it out.
I'll take responsibility for this. You stay quiet.
Ms. Choi.
I believe there was an error during the screening process.
We only hire college graduates.
Sorry?
I thought anyone could...
enter the contest.
It's true that anyone can enter the contest.
But when it comes to hiring, it's a different story.
Then I'm...
You're not qualified to even be here.
Can you please leave?
I need to inform those who passed the interview...
about our training program.
What are you doing?
Give Ms. Choi a little money.
She came all the way here. We should pay for the transportation.
Yes, sir.
(Final Interview)
What were you thinking?
But according to the company rules...
I don't care.
A high school graduate shouldn't get to the final interview.
You're my dream and hope.
I'll win the contest this time.
It was my dream to win that contest.
I've never wanted anything...
this badly in my life.
(WL Group Secret Recipe Contest 2nd Screening Result)
Did you pass?
Yes, I did. I passed the test.
I can't believe it.
My name was on the list.
I passed the first screening.
I passed...
the test!
Congratulations.
What should we eat?
Let's just eat at the cafeteria today.
I have to write up a proposal.
I'll be working late today. I'm so tired.
Still, our product will be launched soon.
- Isn't that great? - It is.
I'm so happy.
What should we eat for a snack?
You should lose some weight. Don't eat any snacks.
- Stop it. - You're so thin. I'm jealous.
She told me that if I didn't let her meet you,
she'd let Ji Seok know everything about my past.
She threatened me.
I really have no idea.
Why would Go Ya...
suddenly want to meet me?
I can't call her after what I did to her.
If I had known it'd be the last time I'd see her,
I wouldn't have been so cold.
What are you doing here?
Mom is having surgery right now.
And?
She might not wake up.
She might pass away.
What can I do about it?
Do you think I can do anything if you tell me?
You're her husband. You're the baby's dad.
If something happens to Mom, the baby won't survive.
Are you okay with that?
She should have listened to me and given up on the baby.
Dad.
It was her choice, and she should pay for it.
If you have time to do this,
go beg the doctor to save her.
- Go. - Do you have no conscience?
Conscience?
I just want to live with someone I love.
If you have a conscience, you shouldn't stop me, should you?
You're all grown up.
I paid your mom...
enough money so she wouldn't have a problem.
I've done my job as a husband and dad.
You're out of your mind.
How can you say that as a dad?
I'm out of my mind?
What's with the way you speak to your dad?
Hey. You're old enough...
to be able to understand me.
I want a new life.
Shouldn't you understand me?
How could I?
You went crazy for a woman...
and abandoned your wife and children.
How could I understand you?
I don't even know how the baby looks.
Do you expect me to give up on my life because of him?
How can you only care about yourself?
Other dads are not like you.
They put their children before themselves.
Other children are not like you either.
When your parent wants to live for himself,
you should respect it.
You can't force me to sacrifice myself.
Children are so selfish.
That's enough.
Here.
I'll stop here because you're my daughter.
But don't come see me again.
I have to protect my love.
Are we some kind of trash?
How dare you yell at me?
Now that you don't need us,
do you want to put us all in a bag and throw away?
Hey, lower your voice.
Stop giving me a hard time.
Really?
I'm giving you a hard time?
Do you think it's harder for you than for Mom,
who was abandoned by you while pregnant?
Is it harder for you than the baby...
who's fighting for his life in his mom's belly?
You've lost your mind because of that witch.
What?
Then again, you must be no better.
That's why you went crazy for her.
- You're the worst! - You brat...
Your mom did a great job raising you.
My goodness.
I won't be here even if you come back to find me.
I'll be leaving Korea soon. So this is the last time we meet.
Goodness, let go of me.
Hey, come on.
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
Don't go.
Don't leave, Dad.
What's with you?
I'm sorry for being harsh.
But that's not how I feel. You know that.
You know how much I love you.
So don't go.
Go Ya.
I'm really scared, Dad.
- Honey. - Oh, yes?
You should come in.
Oh, right. It's nothing.
Like I said,
I'm your family now.
No matter who's trying to shake you,
you cannot be shaken.
What are you doing?
Are you going to make me walk into an empty house by myself?
- Go. - Dad.
Excuse me, can you turn the car around?
Oh, sure.
Thanks.
(ID Slip, Choi Go Ya)
Your resume says...
you dropped out of college.
Did you not graduate?
This means you are a high school graduate.
We only hire people with a college degree.
You are not qualified to be sitting here right now.
My family.
What will I do now?
They're probably all waiting around for me.
(Congratulations on getting a job, Go Ya.)
Hey. You never did anything for me when I got a job,
but you're throwing a huge party for Go Ya.
You aren't the same as her.
You finally got a hold of yourself after years of making trouble.
But Go Ya's dream finally came true...
after taking care of us for years.
Goodness, Go Woon. You have a way with your words.
You should become a lawyer.
Go Bong, you aren't a match for him already.
I'm only letting him win...
because I don't want to fight with an elementary school kid.
And this elementary school kid...
doesn't want to get in a fight with an adult whose mental age is five.
Quiet, you.
Go Bong, call Go Ya and find out when she's coming home.
- Okay. - Goodness.
Why are you always rushing things like this?
What's the hurry?
She's not picking up.
The interview must be taking a while, then.
That's odd. Why is the interview taking so long?
She said she practically got the job already.
My gosh.
I thought Go Woon was the one who's eagerly waiting for Go Ya,
but the one who is the most eager was sitting here.
You're right. She looked out into the yard for the seventh time.
That's because I'm hungry.
Stop speaking nonsense.
Goodness, why is your face turning red?
It's not like you're in love with a married man.
It's not embarrassing to want to see your own daughter.
Wow, what a party.
There you are, San Deul.
- Hi, San Deul. - What's that?
We always need a cake for a party.
Where's the lady of the day?
She'll be here when she's done.
The hero of the day is always the last to show up.
What's going on in here?
Mother, what brings you home at this hour?
I thought you were coming home late.
I spilled some soy sauce on my clothes,
so I stopped by to get changed.
What have you done?
What did you do to turn this place into a mess?
Sa Ra.
My sister was here.
What have you done to her this time?
Don't you know what she did to me?
I'm home, Grandma.
Come on in. I hope I didn't call you in early...
and distract you from work.
It's fine.
Where's Mom?
She's still distressed.
But I thought she would feel better if she saw you two,
so I told you and Eun Seok to come home early.
Why is she distressed?
Go ask her.
Where are you ill?
You need to tell me so that I can get some medicine.
You're already here.
Hey. I got off a bit early after I got Grandma's call.
Lady Oh, what's wrong?
I really can't believe how angry I am.
That's why your sons are here.
What is it?
Yes, Mom. Tell us.
He was here.
Who's he?
The one who had an affair with your aunt.
What? Why did he come to see you?
He asked me to make an investment into his business.
And that's not where it ends.
He asked me to forget about the past...
to live in peace now.
I couldn't contain my anger...
through the entire night.
That's why I called your aunt over.
Why did you call her?
What do you think? It's awful enough to see her.
How can she make that vermin of a guy come visit me?
I nitpicked at her.
I told her that I won't let them live...
if I ever see them with my eyes again.
So if that man ever comes to see you,
I don't care if you throw water or salt on him.
Make sure he doesn't come visit you ever again, okay?
Okay.
And the same goes for your aunt as well.
Why aren't you answering me?
Especially you, Ji Seok.
I know how dearly you think of her,
but you still can't see her.
If you decide to take her in,
that's the end of our relationship. Remember that, okay?
Don't worry.
That won't happen.
(Jang Ok Ja's Cooking Class)
I'm sorry.
But what can we do?
If she found out now that you were seeing Aunt Na Ra...
Even so, I should've told her.
No. She will never understand.
You can never tell Mom or let her find out...
that you're meeting her.
What about you?
What about me?
Can you also not understand why I've been seeing Aunt Na Ra?
No, it's not like that.
Do you remember?
When I first went to elementary school,
I wrote Aunt Na Ra's name where I had to write Mom's.
Of course.
She brought you up as soon as you were born.
I think it was up until you were in the fourth grade.
Yes.
At first, she brought me up...
because of Mom's post-natal depression.
After a while,
even though Mom wanted to take me back,
I insisted on staying with Aunt Na Ra.
That's right. You were unbelievable.
Were you five?
The day when you came back home,
you threw a tantrum, saying you wanted to go back to Aunt Na Ra.
You even started sleepwalking.
In the end, Mom was forced to send you back.
Now that I think of it, Aunt Na Ra is...
in all my childhood memories.
She left her husband...
for an old man.
I'm ashamed of it too.
Mom criticizes her,
and you don't like her anymore.
I completely understand you two.
But...
I want to be on her side.
At least I should be.
Right. That's how much she means to you.
All right. I'll try to understand her.
It's not like she broke someone else's family.
She was just blinded by her love.
Maybe it's her that we should feel sorry for.
She left the best man in the world.
I know.
Why did she fall for that snake?
Why did he suddenly show up in front of Mom?
He's so shameless.
Of course.
He seduced Aunt Na Ra and made her...
divorce her husband.
He better not show up in front of me.
Hey, your finger.
When did you take off your cast?
This morning.
This morning?
She'll be happy to see that I took off my cast.
Why isn't she calling back?
Why are you so late?
Well... Something came up.
Where are you coming from?
Ta-da.
We need some champagne for the party.
Why aren't you going in?
I'm going in.
The star of the day is here!
What should I tell them?
They must think I passed the interview.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- I'm so proud of you. - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Come on in.
Let's sit down.
Oh, my.
(Forever Enemies)
I didn't know there was a man like him in this neighborhood.
This is not just a rock.
It's a magical rock.
Hello. I'm Go Woon's sister.
What a coincidence.
I shouldn't have taken her in.
Gosh. Go Ya might hear you.
Is Go Ya not your daughter?
I'll give up on my dream.
Thank you for everything. I'll never forget your kindness, Mr. Min.
Why did she sound so cold...
as if she'll never see me again?
Ji Seok is the only person who can give me money.
I'll give it a try.
