She must be crazy.
Why is she feeding Eun Byeol...
Eun Byeol!
I can't believe I'm not your dad.
He keeps doubting me saying Eun Byeol's not his daughter.
I'd rather tell him that we had her via surrogacy.
We just need to turn So Dam into a crazy witch.
How can we keep it from him when he already saw everything?
Tell him you got pregnant because of a one-night fling...
- with some guy. - What?
So my wife's the one who gave birth to Eun Byeol...
through IVF, right?
- Yes. - You should go now.
Thank you for everything until now. Live happily.
What do you think of my work?
Are you saying this video is all over the company?
I voluntarily stepped up and protect him.
What were you thinking? Why did you do something so absurd?
Don't ever come between me and So Yu again.
I'll cut ties with you if you do.
- I'm sure it's a conspiracy. - A conspiracy?
The only assumption we can make from this situation...
is that someone pulled a wicked trick to cover up Se Hyun's scandal.
Bring Baek Hee to my office!
It seems like the girl plotted a self-fabricated scenario.
What a lowly brat.
If you keep doing this, I'll really become a gold digger.
What do you think you're doing?
About the video... She did nothing wrong.
I forced her to shoot that video.
Hey, you lunatic. Don't you ever call me again.
If you do, I'll kill you.
Did my dad give you a hard time?
You can take it out on me like you did last time.
- Let go of her. - What?
You're the one who should stop bothering our date and just leave.
Se Hyun's still there?
Why is he staying at that house for so many hours?
I want my two arms to be able to console you.
Mom, I'm going to marry So Yu.
(Episode 21)
Did I startle you?
A little.
When do you plan on marrying her?
We'll see how So Yu's mom's treatment goes.
But I'd like to marry her as fast as possible.
It'll take some time for the tenants in our Seocho-dong apartment...
to move out and finish up the renovation.
Can you give me some time?
You don't need to care about it too much.
I can't do that. You're my one and only child.
Mom.
I know you had a lot of expectations regarding my marriage.
I'll be a better son.
It seems like yesterday when I saw you sound asleep...
with your spelling test paper in your hand...
just so you could show me that you got a perfect score.
I thought you were sleepy. Why aren't you sleeping?
I woke up in the middle of my sleep.
Aren't you going to congratulate me?
- Are you really going to marry her? - Yes.
- Is it settled? - I said, yes.
Did So Yu... Did Ms. Eun also agree to it?
Did she?
Did you officially propose, and did she say yes?
I know how much you care about me and my life,
but you're going a bit overboard these days.
I'm just curious. That's all.
What did your mom say?
She told me she needs time to help me get ready.
Does that mean she gave you her approval?
She never intended on disapproving the woman I like.
What's with the long face?
What?
I'm dispirited because it feels like I lost my brother.
Nonsense.
- Chae Young, what are you doing? - Can you help me with this?
Why are you wearing that at this hour?
Just help me with the zippers.
Gosh.
- Pull the zippers back down. - Down?
- Pull them back down. - Done.
Why are you suddenly wearing this dress...
after you ate so much pork belly?
I want to wear this to your wedding.
What?
You're getting ahead of yourself again.
Guys like Mr. Hong... I mean, guys like Director Hong...
take a long time to come to a decision,
but they don't waste any time once they do.
What do you mean by that?
My gosh, it's not what you think.
Don't lie to me. It seemed like he totally made up his mind earlier.
It's only a matter of time before he proposes.
My gosh, I can't believe he's going to propose to you.
Hey, you better be quiet.
Someone's going to propose to So Yu? What do you mean?
It's nothing, Mom. She's just overreacting...
I'm not wrong, Ms. Oh.
I think Director Hong is going to propose to So Yu.
Really?
Did he ask you to marry him?
No, it's not what you think.
(Se Hyun)
Hey, Se Hyun.
I thought you came to sleep over.
I thought you'd want to be alone on a day like this.
I hear cars passing by. Where are you?
I'm in a cab.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - Okay.
- Se Hyun. - Yes?
Congratulations on getting married.
Thanks.
Hey.
I can't sleep because of my curiosity.
Who was the guy?
Get out of here.
- Do I know him? - Should I yell and call Ms. Choi?
There we go.
Who made you become a single mother?
I'll teach that guy a lesson.
I heard Mi Ri's boyfriend is really good-looking.
I heard he's 10 years younger than her.
He's 10 years younger than her?
What's so important about how old someone is on paper?
What's important is...
your physical age.
Dad?
What are you doing at this hour?
I couldn't sleep. What's the matter?
I just wanted to see if you were sleeping well.
Goodness gracious. Look at you, my son.
- You should lie down. - What? Oh, okay.
Who's more good-looking? Se Hyun or your son?
Why do you even bother asking the obvious?
Of course, you're more good-looking.
Your ears, eyes, mouth, and nose are all better than his.
Then who do you think would be more popular when it comes to women?
You and Se Hyun are on a totally different level.
- We're on a different level? - Of course.
You're on the top level. You're the son of LX Group.
Anyone with a brain would choose you over him.
But she does have a brain. How strange.
- What? - It's nothing.
Yes, Ms. Hong.
I need to make Eun So Yu...
become crazy about money.
I want you to find a way.
Why is there only watery kimchi? I wonder what today's menu is.
Maybe it's a course meal.
A course meal for breakfast? No way.
You came so early today.
I worked all night and found myself greeting the sun.
You must be working on something great.
Are you going to make it to the Billboard charts just like BTS?
Well, no one says I can't. Is there a problem with that?
Where's my dad and Seo Jun?
My dad needs to know that we came early.
He's always late when I come early.
Father.
This is the first time you came early throughout the entire year.
How dare you?
You were planning to give them out, so I just wanted to help.
Father finds joy in giving them out himself.
What are you talking about?
I shouldn't have started this in the first place.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
What's this?
We're having red bean porridge for breakfast?
Are you crazy?
Don't you know that my dad doesn't eat porridge?
Seo Kyung what were you doing?
Why didn't you stop her from cooking this?
- It's to prevent bad luck. - Prevent bad luck?
What's that supposed to mean?
Your daily fortune says you might fall today.
So are you saying he won't fall...
if he eats this?
What a bunch of nonsense.
Then don't eat it.
- If anything happens to him... - It's going to be my fault?
- Honey, just eat it. Eat up. - Gosh.
You all better finish it.
What about Seo Jun? He didn't eat any.
He already ate.
What?
When I told him that it'll be good for the chairman,
he ate two servings before he headed out.
Give me three servings.
This red bean porridge is delicious.
Aren't you going to go?
Let's go.
Why are you running so hard?
- It's for detox. - Don't make stuff up.
Let's go drink some detox juice.
Are you not getting enough sleep?
Why?
Your eyes look really tired.
And you're zoning out more than you usually do.
Ji Yoon, do you want to marry me?
What?
Hey, do you think a marriage proposal is a joke?
That's how she should've reacted if he proposed out of nowhere.
What are you talking about?
Hey, did Se Hyun propose?
Let's take a shower.
He must've proposed. He proposed, didn't he?
- I don't know. Ask him yourself. - My gosh, I guess he did.
This one's for this week, and this one's for next week.
What about the shoes?
Here.
Do you have any other shoes?
Hello, everyone.
What are you doing here again?
We're here to hold a strategic meeting.
Mi Ri, don't you have a shoot today?
I had to act with my fingers all morning.
You had to act with your fingers?
You mean the thing you do when you regain your consciousness?
Yes. The director made me shoot that three times.
It's like he's making an art film or something.
That's not what's important. Gather around for the meeting.
Let's begin our second...
strategic meeting to attack Choi Jin Bok.
Did we succeed in making him feel jealous?
I haven't met him yet.
Don't ever show up in front of him.
- Why not? - That'll make him more desperate.
You're really an expert.
Women like me are good at dating.
Imagine how much research I would've had to do...
in order to become competitive with this face.
I never had to do any research.
Doing that was enough to seduce everyone.
That's still enough to get everyone head over heels for you.
You try so hard.
Hey, I thought about it all night,
and I think he'd want to see the guy that's 10 years younger than me.
He's really hard to fool, you see.
You know those people who observe everything...
when they pretend like they don't care? That's exactly him.
Then you should hire a part-timer.
That's not necessary. I'll do it.
- Get me a cup of coffee. - Okay, Mi Ri.
Hey, do you know a guy that looks pretty decent?
My cousin has nothing to show off, but he does look pretty decent.
My aunt told me that she's so sick and tired...
of all the neighborhood girls constantly hitting on him.
Gosh, a neighborhood star won't do.
Don't you know anyone that's nationally famous?
He came in first place at the Salsa Championship.
The Salsa Championship?
These are the stores that will be opening early next year.
We have a lot more stores now.
Good work.
But old people like me can't get used to looking at stuff like this.
I still feel a lot more comfortable with signing things.
Should I bring you hard copies from now on?
No, it's okay.
I heard all the big companies do it like this these days.
One more thing, sir.
This is the budget for the end-of-the-year display.
Like I told you last time, the theme will be "Slow Living Lifestyle"...
That's fine.
You already explained everything, so don't bother explaining it again.
Okay, sir.
- I'll be off now. - Wait.
- I have a question. - Yes, sir.
- About Mi Ri... - Yes?
Is she seeing someone these days?
I'll look into it, sir.
Make sure she doesn't find out.
I'll make sure she doesn't find out.
Okay.
I'll call you back to let you know the schedule in detail.
Your pay?
He wants to know his pay.
That depends on his performance.
Hey, even when we buy fish, we need to take a look...
in order to see how much it's worth.
Let's talk later.
Has your cousin ever done anything like this?
Hey, who in the world would've done anything like this?
If he's inexperienced, he should start off with the minimum price.
That's right, Tae Bok. He really is the best manager.
(Ms. Hong)
Jin Bok must've asked Ms. Hong to look into me.
Hello?
I heard you're acting like you're seeing someone these days.
"Acting"?
Are you saying I'm only pretending?
- That's too bad. - What's too bad?
I only help people who are honest.
Who says I'm not honest?
I was going to be your Iago. What a pity.
"Iago"? What's that?
Is it the name of some kind of ointment?
You majored in theater,
and you don't even know "Othello" by Shakespeare?
"Othello"?
I'm talking about Othello...
who killed his own wife because he was blinded by jealousy.
Iago played the biggest role in making that happen...
by constantly inciting Othello's jealousy.
Isn't it too early in the morning for Shakespeare?
Think carefully about whether you need my help or not.
She's so unlikeable. Why is she being so vague?
She acts like she's a know-it-all. Gosh, how annoying.
My gosh, what a brat. She's so annoying.
I want you to look into who Mi Ri spends time with these days.
Okay, ma'am.
Mr. Ko, I want you to look into it instead of Ms. Yoon.
Okay, ma'am.
I just brewed this coffee.
It's your favorite, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
Thank you.
It's nice.
- Ms. Yoon. - Yes, ma'am.
About what I mentioned to you last night...
Did you look into it?
She's currently renting the house she's living in.
They used up most of their deposit and only has 5,000 dollars left.
I thought she lived in a two bedroom house in a multiplex housing.
But the deposit's only 5,000 dollars?
I think the owner's being lenient since they're acquainted.
Do you need my advice?
I'll tell you if I need any money.
Okay, great. Good job.
Here's our first letter.
"I've been single all my life, but love has finally found me."
"There's this colleague at work I used to like one-sidedly,"
"but I ended up confessing my feelings after I got drunk."
"I was embarrassed about how I was going to face her at work today,"
"but we eventually met up and had coffee together this morning."
"Please congratulate us."
I'm so jealous.
We'll send you two tickets to a movie premiere...
hoping that you'll enjoy a great date together.
(Director of Strategic Planning, Choi Seo Jun)
(Ji Yoon)
Seo Jun, do you want to watch a movie tonight?
No.
Really, doctor?
Yes, your mom's doing a lot better than expected considering her age.
Thank you.
Thank you, doctor.
- Let's go to the treatment room. - Okay.
Go on.
Excuse me.
Doctor.
How many more shots does she need to get?
About 6 to 8 more.
That's how much she has left, right?
- Yes. - Okay.
Hello?
This is Hong Se Hyun.
My gosh, hello.
I'm sorry I bothered you yesterday.
You didn't bother us. It was fun thanks to you.
But what brings you to call me?
Are you getting ready?
- What do you mean? - To propose to her.
No, it's not that. It's just that I want to have dinner with So Yu,
but I think she'll refuse saying she needs to cook dinner for her mom.
I'll cook dinner for her mom.
Then can you also force her to come have dinner with me?
Yes, I'll force her out of the house.
Thank you, Chae Young.
Don't mention it.
Just introduce me to a friend like you...
at the after-party of your wedding.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
Se Hyun.
When did you come?
You didn't even hear me knock with that big smile on your face.
Was it So Yu?
No.
Come sit down. Would you like something to drink?
No, I already had 2 cups of coffee and 2 cups of green tea.
I had enough to drink for today.
- What brings you here? - I heard you're getting married.
Did Seo Jun tell you?
You told him but not me?
He ended up finding out.
By the way, do you know any nice restaurants?
Are you going to propose?
Should I reserve a private room for you?
(Public Parking Lot)
(Mom's chemotherapy: 5,000 dollars per treatment)
(5,000 dollars times 6 treatments: 30,000 dollars)
(Se Hyun)
(Missed call: Se Hyun)
Let's have dinner later. I'll go pick you up.
Why aren't you coming outside?
I'll be right there.
What's all this?
The doctor said I should eat well.
But don't you think this is way too much?
Eat up.
Okay.
He told me to eat a lot of broccoli, right?
What else did he say will help with my immune system?
Tofu.
Fish.
Eat slowly, Mom.
Okay.
I'm happy that the treatment's working.
I was really scared, you know.
You guys spent so much money on my treatment,
so I wouldn't have been able to face you...
if the treatment ended up being useless.
Gosh, why would you think that?
I won't think that way anymore.
I'll just focus on getting better.
I'll eat really well.
And I'll sleep well too.
Okay. You can do this, Mom.
Yes.
Stop trying to do stuff. Just stay still.
You already took care of it. Why are you still so anxious?
I'm scared that So Dam might tell Tae Woong.
It seems like Tae Woong's constantly asking her...
who the father is.
She won't tell him about the surrogacy.
But don't you think she might if Tae Woong keeps asking her?
You better make sure she doesn't.
I'll threaten her.
Okay, I'll threaten her.
Until when are you going to approach her with a stick?
- Then what? - It's time to give her carrots.
Carrots?
She's going to make a debut as an idol star?
- Ms. Choi. - You need to live your life now.
You can't spend the rest of your life...
taking after Eun Byeol just because of what you've been through.
You can be a member of the group that will be making a debut soon,
so I wish you good luck.
But I haven't practiced in so long.
Hey, you shouldn't be refusing.
You used to be the best trainee our agency ever had.
Everyone was so surprised when they heard that you decided to go...
to the States with my wife instead of debuting.
But back then, I used to practice a lot.
Stop talking back and just do it. You better do it no matter what.
Tae Woong's right. You should do it no matter what.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Thank you. I'll work really hard.
One more thing.
Don't you ever tell anyone about the fact...
that you almost became a single mother.
Isn't that a given?
The same goes for you, honey.
You really need to stop asking her who the father is.
What are you talking about? I never asked her anything.
Once you let out a secret,
it spreads like crazy and goes out of control.
What if your mom ends up finding out?
Ms. Choi.
I'm telling you to stay quiet so that she never finds out.
Okay, I won't tell anyone.
Okay, good. I want you to start practicing...
the moment we hire a new nanny.
Hey, why aren't you answering her?
Okay.
We already decided to go, so please hurry up.
We'll be late at this rate.
What's the fuss about? Who's birthday is it?
You'll find out once we get there?
This is so annoying.
I'll let you see something really fun.
I thought we were going to have tea at a cafe near my house.
We didn't have to come all the way here.
I told you already.
Someone made a reservation for me, so I couldn't cancel.
I should've gotten changed when Chae Young told me to.
It's okay. You already look pretty.
Hey, So Yu.
Yes?
I talked about it with my mom last night after I went home.
What are you guys doing here?
Surprise.
It's best to have an audience on a day like this.
What do you think, Se Hyun?
Isn't the night view amazing?
I made a private reservation just for you.
Congratulations.
What are you doing?
Congratulations.
What are you congratulating me for?
Hey, guys. Can we talk...
We heard you're getting married.
Getting married?
Didn't you know?
(Gangnam Scandal)
What? What are you talking about?
You sold the house? 40,000 dollars?
You need to get ready for the wedding.
We'll take our time. So Yu's circumstances...
Gosh, I know her circumstances.
I'll take care of everything.
Seo Jun followed So Yu?
He must be crazy.
What if he asks you to yield So Yu to him?
I won't bother you anymore.
Today, I was able to realize...
how much you like Se Hyun.
