Han Ji Sup!
Don't be too shocked. I need to go get some air.
I'll be back soon.
What do you think you're doing?
In a cavern
In a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter
Clementine
Oh, my darling
(Mother)
Hello?
Now that you're wearing Jae Wook's mask, you have no fear?
Come back on your own...
before you're dragged back.
Right now.
Okay.
Oh, my gosh. Come in.
My poor baby.
My gosh. My little puppy's home.
Sorry, Mom.
You're upset as it is, and Hae Sol only added to it.
Did you find Hae Sol?
Yes. She was waiting for her dad at the bus stop.
Goodness. The poor thing must've missed her dad so much.
Give her to me.
She can sleep in our room. You get some rest.
No. I'll sleep with her tonight.
You should go sleep now.
I'm sorry, Suh Ra.
I'll be more attentive to her from now on.
I heard you found Hae Sol? Hae Sol!
She's sleeping. I'm sorry, Sung Hae.
I'm so stupid. I'm unemployed, and I can't even watch a kid.
I'm good at nothing.
Why can't I do anything right?
It's my fault. Don't blame yourself.
That hurts!
Don't let this happen again.
I'll kick all of you out of this house if it does. Got it?
I'm sorry, Father.
It's okay since we found her.
Go in and rest some rest.
I'm not even pregnant.
Why am I always hungry?
Dae Ra.
I heard you found Hae Sol.
That runt is such a troublemaker.
Teach her better.
Don't make the family suffer.
Did you have to say that?
Why are you taking it out on me?
How could you say that in front of a child?
You said the dead are dead, and the living...
must go on living in front of her?
It's not like I made it up, did I?
Until when are you going to keep it from her?
Do you know how stressful it is to be keep quiet about it and lie?
Hae Sol is only five.
She's nervous already that something may have happened to her dad.
Did you have to say that?
Don't you think about how hurt she'd be?
Sure. I deserve to die.
- Should I beg for your forgiveness? - Dae Ra.
It's not like I lied that a live person was dead.
It just slipped out. How dare you treat me like a criminal?
I know you don't like me.
I understand how you feel.
But Hae Sol is still a baby.
Just because you hate me, please don't hate her too.
I can't like her if she doesn't do anything likable!
That brat is so snotty.
Everything she does annoys me. What do you want me to do?
You're going to be a mom soon too.
How could you say that?
What? Then should I say a dead man is still alive if I'm pregnant?
Are all moms like that?
Do they all lie to kids and give them false hope like you?
What does that change?
- Dad! - You wicked brat.
You can't even comfort your sister who's hurting right now.
Must you be so horrible?
I'm pregnant! Have you forgotten it?
After you hurt your young niece like that,
do you think you're qualified to be a mom?
Is Hae Sol not our family?
Stop talking about Hae Sol!
Are children all that matter in this family?
Dae Ra.
Dad, why did you do that?
Let her be.
Dad.
Father went too far.
How could he slap a pregnant woman?
Honey. I'll go confront him...
and make him apologize.
So stop crying.
What if our baby ends up being a crybaby?
Calm down for the baby's sake.
What's wrong? You'll scare the baby.
Please stop talking about the stupid baby!
How is she so wicked?
I know I gave birth to her, but I want to smack her.
Even the youngest isn't like that. How is the oldest such a brat?
I shouldn't have slapped her.
You slapped her?
How could you slap her when she's pregnant?
It's like she was a snake.
She was so venomous toward Suh Ra.
I just lost control.
Oh, no. What do we do?
Father, are you sleeping? I'm coming in.
Sure. Come in.
I'm sorry to disturb you late at night.
You're not asleep yet? It's late.
Why don't you talk tomorrow?
Father. Don't you think you were a bit too harsh?
She's pregnant. You didn't have to hit her.
I know we're mooching off you because I'm a loser,
but Dae Ra is my woman.
Did we say otherwise?
Look. Sorry about that.
I won't do it again, so go to sleep.
And Mother, I have a request for you too.
Me too?
You keep yelling at Dae Ra and looking down on her,
but she'll be a mom soon.
Please be careful.
Do I do it for no reason?
How could you say that after seeing the things she does?
She keeps acting like Cinderella's evil sister.
I wouldn't do that if she acted like a somewhat decent person.
See? Because you're like this,
she keeps acting up.
Because you keep comparing her to Suh Ra...
Are you giving me an attitude?
I'm not giving you an attitude. It's the truth.
If this isn't giving me an attitude, what is?
Stop it already.
You too. Stop it and go to sleep.
We'll be careful too.
So go and calm Dae Ra down.
Fine. I'll take your word for it and go.
Is he kidding me? He's turning into her.
I'll be careful from now on, so you should be too.
Maybe it's the pregnancy. Dae Ra's very sensitive,
especially toward Suh Ra.
Whom do I have to thank...
for my being alive today?
If I hadn't met Suh Ra back then,
I'd be dead already.
Of course I know that.
Of all luck,
you lost your job right when Suh Ra was born,
and we lived day-to-day with you working at construction sites,
and me peddling.
We were too busy trying to stay alive...
that we didn't know our baby had pneumonia.
We assumed it was a cold and that she'd get better.
We left that sick baby...
with young Dae Ra and worked all the time.
You know,
we're the ones who killed Suh Ra.
I still...
remember that day so clearly.
I was all smiling...
because I sold a lot that day. When I came back home,
the baby was lying there,
barely breathing.
I took her to the hospital, and they asked me...
why I didn't bring her a little bit sooner...
and what I was doing until the baby got that bad.
Stop it.
I had no right to be a parent...
and told myself that I had no reason to live.
I tried to kill myself so many times. I ran in front of cars...
and jumped into the frigid river.
But my cursed life would not end.
I couldn't die.
That's when I met Hae Sol's mom.
I figured...
our dead Suh Ra sent her to take her place.
The baby was just so lovable.
I didn't want to die anymore. I actually wanted to live...
because I wanted to be that adorable thing's mom.
Suh Ra really was adorable.
But Dae Ra, that witch,
doesn't even know how her mom feels and complains that I favor Suh Ra,
throwing such tantrums.
When will she ever grow up?
She'll learn one day when she becomes a mom.
Yes. I have to try anything I can.
Where there's a will, there's a way. Who knows?
A miracle may occur.
I'm sorry.
Where did you go?
I won't lie.
I went near my family.
Nothing happened that you need to worry about.
Sadly,
the man in the photo died a few days ago.
His heart stopped during his second surgery.
He died?
Sorry,
but you're a murderer.
You're smart, so I trust you understand what I mean.
I'm only stopping here...
because you were honest with me.
Keep this in mind.
The only way for you to return to your family...
is by...
not betraying me.
Rest up.
The bracken has a nice scent.
What's gotten into you?
You couldn't stand bracken.
Your taste buds must have changed too.
I guess so.
You wouldn't touch bracken since you were a child.
What's gotten into you?
Your palate changes as you get older.
It was such a big accident.
I guess it could change your palate.
She's right.
I'm not a child. It's embarrassing to be a picky eater at this age.
I'll think of it as a new life and try new things.
I want to try them all.
Good. That's a good attitude.
Trying things you never did and taking paths you never took...
is a good virtue for a businessman to have.
Grandpa,
I'll return to work tomorrow.
- Jae Wook. - Why are you surprised?
I'm back to normal,
so I should return to work.
What's the rush?
You aren't fully recovered yet.
Your mom's right.
There's no rush. Take care of your health first.
I'm worried about the company,
and there's a lot to resolve.
I'm anxious.
You should get back to work a little later.
This is your grandpa's order.
- Grandpa. - Do as he says.
Who says you can go to work?
You'll get caught if you go overboard.
It isn't too late to take the time and go to work once you're ready.
You know I don't have much time.
Soon, In Wook will step down from his post as a chief director...
and leave on his own.
I'll instruct you when the time is right,
so stay quiet and familiarize yourself with the company.
Fine.
Grandpa invited you to lunch.
Go with Hae Rim to the office. Don't be late.
Okay.
Just because I can't see you, don't even think...
about visiting your family.
I trust you won't be that foolish.
It's so cold.
It's so nice not being hounded by loan sharks.
My daughter-in-law doesn't even call me...
when I ran out barefoot.
Now that Ji Sup's dead, she's ignoring me completely.
Anyway, I need to go home...
and get my things out of there.
But if I go, Jin Ja will demand that I show her what I was hiding.
Whatever.
My head feels like it'll explode whenever I think about Jin Ja.
It's cold.
Did you wait long?
No, Dad. I just got here.
Sit down. You should've called first.
I'm sorry. I needed to talk to you about something.
Sure. I'm glad you came.
I was going to call you anyway.
- You were? - I plan to set a date...
for your wedding soon.
I'll discuss it with Jae Wook's mother.
There's no need to stall.
Dad. What's the rush?
He just got out of the hospital.
He's totally fine.
This is his latest test results from Dr. Choi.
Everything's back to normal.
He's unbelievably perfect.
You know...
that his memory isn't fully there, don't you?
It isn't a physical problem, but a psychological one.
It won't be a problem...
with his daily life or his performance at work.
I thought you'd be happy.
Was I wrong?
I am happy.
But it can't hurt to be cautious.
We called off the engagement after his accident.
Since we called it off anyway, we should take some time...
and see how Jae Wook...
That's why I'm rushing.
If we hesitate even if he's recovered,
what will people say?
They'll say...
we decided on the marriage based on his health.
It'll make me look worse, since I already...
called off the engagement once.
- Dad. - Hae Rim.
Are you having second thoughts?
No, I'm not.
Then do as I say.
I plan to invite his family over to the house...
and announce the wedding.
Just so you know.
Dad.
Is it Jae Wook? Answer it.
Hi, Jae Wook.
I heard from your mom...
that your grandfather invited us to lunch.
Okay. I'll see you there.
Go ahead. You should go first and wait.
Okay.
Chief Director Kang In Wook needs to step down!
- Step down! - Step down!
He talks about being transparent...
and lies and claims he'll eliminate nepotism,
but he's at the core of nepotism! Kang In Wook...
needs to repent! Repent!
- Repent! - Repent!
How could you make a convicted felon a chief director...
just because he's the grandson of the chairman?
Chairman Kang Joon Chae must repent! Repent!
- Repent! - Repent!
Repent! Repent!
Chief Director Kang In Wook needs to step down!
- Step down! - Step down!
Repent!
- Repent! - Repent!
You're right. I became a chief director...
out of nepotism because I'm the chairman's grandson.
Step down!
- Step down! - Step down!
Notwithstanding that, let me make this clear.
What you claim is not true.
It's a misunderstanding...
Is it a misunderstanding that you were a doctor who went to jail?
That's...
- Step down! - Step down!
What are you doing?
Stay still. Let me try talking to them.
I'm Kang Jae Wook, the previous chief director who almost died.
I wanted to look good when I came before you, but not like this.
Do you feel better now that you see me?
I understand...
how you feel standing here today.
But this isn't the right way.
You're all being violent.
Are you protecting him because he's your brother?
That's right.
As his younger brother,
I have to take his side.
However,
I disagree with the new management system...
that my brother proposes either.
If by chance it leads to restructuring,
I'll stop it.
I'll stop it with all I have.
I'll deliberately find another way. So...
please return to your places.
Please.
Are you okay?
This is nothing.
I got to dismiss them, so you can relax.
You shouldn't have stepped in.
I can't thank you.
I know.
I'm slightly regretting it too.
I'm worried if I made things worse for you...
by getting involved in your business.
So don't get involved in my business anymore...
or do things you'll regret.
But that wasn't just about you.
It was the company's business.
It's also Grandpa's business,
and in the future, it could become my business.
What are you trying to say?
That management specialist system that you propose...
is too early to start.
If you keep pushing forward with it, things will get noisier.
It won't be too late to propose it...
after you've proven yourself worthy of the position.
- What? - Think of how the employees feel.
They don't get paid much, survive on gimbap...
and cup noodles for meals,
and constantly have to work late.
Think of the less fortunate ones.
You grew up privileged...
and suddenly became a chief director.
No one could like that.
Once I clear up the misunderstanding,
- it'll be resolved. - It's not about that.
Even if you are honest and beg them to trust you,
they don't want to listen to you. That's the problem.
You know the reason better than anyone.
What do you mean?
You lost your medical license and was bumming around,
and you became an executive only because...
you're the chairman's grandson.
That must hurt the employees' pride.
They worked themselves to death to pay their college tuition,
and studied to death,
and barely got a job as entry-level employees.
You should think about them too.
What about you?
Weren't you privileged and hired out of nepotism as well?
Maybe it's because I almost died,
but I see things I didn't before.
Hold on.
Hi, Hae Rim.
I'm washing up in the bathroom
Okay. I'll go out soon.
I have to go.
See you later.
Jae Wook.
I guess...
you really have changed a lot.
I'll take that as a compliment.
See you.
I was only able to buy a shirt since I had no time.
- Go change. - Thanks.
Jae Wook. I really can't get used to this.
How much more must I be surprised?
You'll see with time.
To be honest, this isn't so bad. I'm actually looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it too.
About how you'll change.
That sounds like you're confident you could make me change.
Who knows?
Yes, Mr. Park.
Okay. I'll be there right away.
Consider it as taking a step back to move forward afterwards.
Postpone it.
No. I can't back down like this.
Everything started with a misunderstanding.
I'll clear up the misunderstanding.
Retreating a little is better...
than conflicting and fighting.
Stay down for now...
until things quiet down.
I don't have time to waste.
I'll fix the problem I caused.
Can't you see they're using your malpractice issue to humiliate you?
- I don't care. - I do.
I want to keep you by my side.
If you understand how I feel,
don't make things worse, and be careful.
It's a matter of time until In Wook steps down.
You should prepare Jae Wook to return to work.
I have been, actually.
Thank you for always being so helpful...
every time we need it.
Not at all. I feel bad, to be honest.
Ever since I called off the engagement after the accident,
I had regretted it.
I can say this now,
but I was very hurt. You were so cold.
I even felt betrayed.
What do you mean?
A single act of betrayal creates a wound...
that can't be undone.
All wounds are bound to heal.
Wounds may heal,
but scars may last forever.
But I'm glad...
that I didn't have to lose you twice.
Let's not bring up the past.
You don't have to take it so seriously.
I know very well...
that at times, burying the past and forgetting it...
is the best medicine.
Do you know why I don't abandon you?
I don't like the question,
but I'm quite curious how you'll answer it.
Because you get me excited with your unpredictability.
You are a very clever woman.
That's your charm.
I understand.
Because...
we're future in-laws that share a child.
Let's not cross the line. Is that what you're saying?
- What? - When does your class end?
Why?
Come and do the dishes when you're done.
My arms, legs, and every body part ache.
How much will you pay me?
You have to give me at least minimum wage.
What?
Even between parents and children, once you hire your child to do work,
you must pay fairly. Don't you agree?
Stop talking all that nonsense.
You are not getting any allowances or anything else from now on.
Okay, okay. I'll go. I'll go already!
Darn it.
- Hello? - It's Crazy Boy... I mean, Ra Hee.
I need your help.
Crazy Boy? You psycho? Bye.
I've been abducted.
- What? - Those jerks abducted me.
They say they'll kill me if you don't come.
They're taking their revenge out on me.
Please help.
You coward. You offered me up as a sacrifice last time.
How could you ask for help?
- Call the police! - Why are you doing this?
- Please don't kill me! - Hey, where are you?
Okay. Wait right there.
You punk. Why you...
You're a good actor.
This is really the last time.
It isn't easy doing something so unconscionable twice.
I hope this will be the last time as well.
Get lost.
I said get lost. Get lost!
Hey! Crazy Boy!
Where are you?
Come out!
What should I do?
Long time no see.
Hey, you!
We keep seeing each other so often,
you're growing on me.
It must've taken some effort to gather all the local thugs.
Thanks for appreciating that.
You're taking people hostage now? How low could you be?
Where's Crazy Boy?
Let Crazy Boy go!
He left long ago.
- What? - You're so stupid.
How could you fall for it twice?
His acting was so great.
"Help!"
He was awesome.
After he called you out, he went home...
safe and sound.
Crazy Boy. That little punk.
Come at me.
Madam, are you going somewhere?
I'll take her out for some air.
Where to?
The Assemblyman and Hae Rim will be worried.
If they call, tell them I went to a department store.
Which one are you going to?
Why does that matter to you? Why are you so inquisitive?
Auntie. Are you going somewhere?
Yes. You're home early.
Where are you going? Do you want me to take you?
No. I have my nurse, so I'll be fine.
Yes. Don't worry, and go upstairs to study.
You're studying to get into college?
Yes, but I can't study all day long.
I'm fine. I won't be long. Don't worry, and go upstairs.
Okay. Be careful.
How did I get involved with a trap?
Hey, where are you?
Okay. Wait right there.
He ran over to save me.
Do Ra Hee. Where did you hide your sense of justice and purity?
When did you become a scumbag who sells out his friends?
I didn't come to Korea to do something like this.
Coward. Just go out and die.
Let's just go back to the US, okay?
My gosh.
Darn it.
Sorry, Suh Ra.
I know I won't be forgiven...
by saying I had no choice.
I may be unable to stay by your side,
but please know that I'm always looking after you.
That's right.
You were right.
I can't forgive you.
No.
I won't forgive you.
Suh Ra.
Take good care...
of Hae Sol.
Don't get sick. Stay healthy.
I hope you can endure this.
No. Don't ask me to do things like that.
You have no right to do that.
The moment you left us,
you lost all the rights.
It looks great on you.
Your wife has great taste.
Okay. Let's go with that. It looks good on you.
(The Secret of My Man)
What's wrong with you?
Give me my picture!
Try it again.
Who are you?
Was she really acting in front of me and Dad?
I don't want to hurt Hae Rim.
You can't escape my grasp...
with such a weak attitude.
You know how much Daddy loved you, right?
Daddy said he'd always be by my side.
Did you know what this dinner was about?
Yes.
What do you mean, Jae Wook?
We're going to call off the engagement.
