I, Kang Jae Wook,
won't abandon you.
(Episode 30)
What?
Do you pity me now that In Wook dumped me, and I'm a pathetic wreck?
You dumped him.
I'm not interested in women...
who get dumped by guys.
What are you after?
You said so yourself that you wouldn't marry me.
So why are you doing this to me?
I wanted to give you a chance.
I don't want you...
to marry me just because you can't defy your father...
although you don't want me.
I don't want a woman in love...
with another man.
Whether it's love or work, I can't share.
That's why I waited...
until your heart came to me completely.
So? How long will you wait?
Until your heart comes to me.
Take your time. I'll wait.
My dad invited us to dinner.
We can't be late. Let's go.
No. Go home.
There will be other days.
What do you mean? Didn't you hear me?
Your clothes and hair are wet.
Your father...
would probably prefer rescheduling dinner...
than his daughter catching a cold.
Is he not in?
He has no luck.
You're home.
Excuse me. Mister.
Mister.
Hae Rim.
Why are you up? You had a bad fever.
What happened?
Why are you in my home?
Don't you remember?
You opened the door and fainted.
You must've been caught in the rain. You were very sick.
What...
are you doing?
When was the last time you cooked?
All you had in your cupboard were instant foods.
That's why you fainted so easily.
- What? - Have some porridge.
That'll be easier to digest.
What are you doing in someone else's home?
You should've left after making sure I was fine.
Why were you going through my things?
I'm sorry if I offended you.
Now that I think about it, I guess I shouldn't have done that.
What did you want?
Why did you come here?
I didn't hire you for a job.
My dad wanted to thank you...
and made kimchi and all sorts of side dishes for you all day.
I also wanted to thank you properly for your help the other day.
How could I just leave you...
when you fainted in front of me?
That's why I did something you didn't ask me to.
- I'm sorry. - Sorry.
I'm a bit...
sensitive.
As long as you know.
If you don't mind, why don't you eat with me?
Don't your services include...
eating with someone?
Did you...
just hire me?
Yes.
It's good.
Does your father do the housework?
Yes, that's my family.
Our mom works and makes money,
and our dad takes care of the house and raises us.
So at times, our dad seems like the mom,
and our mom, the dad.
Also, keep up with technology.
A few taps with your finger,
and you can order food.
Don't eat only instant foods just because you live alone.
Order real food.
Anyway, if you have a grandfather,
why do you live alone?
I caused him too much trouble.
I feel bad living with him.
That's why you should get a job.
You have no savings, and you aren't married, right?
Are you always that talkative?
To people who don't listen, yes.
If it's because you can't find a job,
do you want to join my errand service business?
Are you okay?
What did you just say?
As you know, I'm pregnant...
and can't do strenuous work.
But I can't stop working entirely.
I'm already living at my parents' house.
I may be unable to help,
but I don't want to be a burden.
Her husband should run over first...
and be by her side in a situation like this.
He didn't even know she was carrying his baby.
That evil punk.
If he was going to go like that, at least don't get her pregnant.
Stop being like that.
Why talk about someone who's no longer here?
How about I do the easy work,
and you do the strenuous ones?
No, I can't. I have to go to the US.
Then help me out until you leave.
I can't work once I get big.
If that's too much, at least until I find someone else.
I'll think it over.
I hope we get along.
I said I'd think about it, not that I'd do it.
I know. I won't pressure you.
I mean I hope we become friends.
- Let's do this! - Goodness.
Why are you so strong?
I'm sorry. I guess I became strong from doing...
so many different jobs.
Hello? This is Give Us a Call.
Grocery shopping? Of course, we can.
What's your address?
Don't tell me...
it was you.
That's right. I sent those pictures...
to Assemblyman Jin.
Okay. Now, you seem like yourself.
Playing dirty and stabbing people in the back was your specialty.
Thank you for waking me right up.
I'm sure you hate me now, but the day will come...
when you will thank me.
What? What kind of crazy talk is that?
You saw for yourself...
what Hae Rim truly wants.
And what is it that you truly want?
Calm down. I...
have nothing against you.
Don't let her keep you hanging, and don't be clingy.
End it cleanly. That...
is how to protect both Hae Rim and yourself.
Slow down. You'll get sick.
I'm late.
- Bye. - Take off that jacket indoors.
You're not even a boy,
but you always look...
more boyish than a boy. Who'd think you were a girl?
That's exactly what I want.
See you later. Bye, Hae Sol.
Study hard, Auntie Cha Ra!
Listen to your teacher.
Okay, I will.
Dae Ra! Are you not going to come out?
Are you the queen? Must I come get you for each meal?
I'm coming.
- I'll heat up the soup. - No.
Leave it. She can do it herself.
I won't have it.
I won't have the soup.
Hae Sol, let's go if you're done.
- I have to go early. - Okay, Mommy.
I said to stop working. Do you want to faint...
and end up in the ER again?
That's right. We won't starve even if you don't work.
I won't do anything hard anymore. I found someone.
- You found someone? - Who's that?
Someone who's jobless.
Let's brush your teeth, and go.
Why haven't we seen Sung Hae lately?
He's probably at the study dorm.
Did you fight?
Something's going on, right?
Nothing's going on.
Tell him to come home. We're going to grill some pork.
No. He isn't in Seoul right now.
You just said he was at the study dorm.
What?
I forgot he went to see his mother for a few days.
Suh Ra was useless in everything else,
but she was a good cook.
I wish I could have some home cooking.
- Hey! - Let go!
What do you think you're doing?
I'm so sick of it.
Stop this already!
What? You're sick of it?
How could you come here and humiliate me?
Why are you doing this to me?
Sung Hae. And why did you stab me in the back?
Were you waiting to leave the house so you could date that girl?
What? Fine. Forget it.
There's no hope for us.
That's what I want to say.
Let's not bother. Come to the courthouse tomorrow.
Fine, I will! I'll be there!
(Courthouse)
Congratulations.
Date a young girl...
and have five kids that you want so badly,
and live happily ever after.
Congratulations.
Meet a rich guy with a house...
and a high-paying job, and live in luxury...
as you always wanted.
That's what I plan to do.
Actually, let me ask you for one last favor.
Don't tell my mom and dad for the time being.
Don't tell my mom either.
And sorry I can't pay you alimony.
I know you're broke. I wouldn't expect it.
Just buy a drink sometime.
Whatever.
- Hello? - Are you still sleeping?
Come out.
What is it now?
Did you forget already?
You agreed to start working today.
When did I do that?
- What's this? - Can't you tell?
It's a scooter.
I'll drive you to work from today on.
I'm a boss who cares a lot about her employees.
A pregnant woman shouldn't ride a scooter.
Pregnant women can drive too.
I'll be careful, so hop on.
Are you telling me to work here?
Most of our work is outside of the office anyway,
so a big office is a waste of money...
and harder to clean.
You can't get full on your first bite.
You're jobless. You need to do something to make money.
Don't think about finding a job in the US.
Find a job in Korea, get married,
and treat your grandfather well.
Stop saying I'm jobless, will you? I...
Hello? This is Give Us a Call.
Take a dog for a walk?
Of course, we can do that.
What's the breed?
I see. A bulldog.
Me?
Text me your address, and I'll send someone over. Okay.
I didn't say I'd work for you.
I know you're thankful on the inside.
What?
Look.
(Gangin Construction was Involved in the Shopping Mall Scam)
You seem calm.
It's what I expected.
The situation is bad.
Forget the company's reputation.
Stock prices fell already.
An emergency board meeting has been announced.
I would prefer...
to bury it now, if possible,
but since I made a promise,
I won't tell you to do that.
Are you prepared?
Yes, sir.
You may have to...
step down from your position as In Wook did.
I'm sorry for causing you concern. However,
I have no regrets.
Okay. You may go.
Jae Wook.
Your amnesia must've made you forget...
how you became a chief director.
The directors created you.
If you don't want to end up like In Wook,
don't do anything reckless.
Are you insane?
Do you even know what you did?
How could a senior manager at a large corporation...
do something so dirty and low? How?
Look.
Don't act out of line just because you have Assemblyman Jin.
If you act rashly out of suspicion without any evidence,
you will be the one who gets hurt, sir.
I would've gone to you if you had called.
I'm sorry for making you wait.
No, I'm the one who's sorry...
for dropping in without calling first.
I was passing by and dropped in.
Sit down. I had some tea while waiting.
I'm glad.
I heard there's an urgent board meeting.
Yes.
It isn't too late.
You should drop it.
Sir.
Tell the reporters there was a misunderstanding, and end it.
No, sir. I can't do that.
After the company is disgraced as being a scamming corporation,
stock price will plummet, and do you know what comes next?
Your termination.
I don't understand why you are so hung up on that matter.
I'm sorry, sir. Since I started this,
I will close it out.
I worked...
very hard to put you where you are now.
Don't be irresponsible.
Drop it, and back off.
You must look at the long run.
I'm sure you understood. Goodbye.
You wanted to see me?
I don't think we've met. Who are you?
He's with the police.
The police?
You know Yang Mi Ryung, correct?
I do.
I came to ask a few questions about her disappearance.
Anything you need. But...
are you sure she's missing?
From what I heard, she's known to run off without a word...
and to hide from the world at times.
Well, we're considering that possibility as well.
You're an assemblyman's child.
We don't like doing this either.
Please bear with us.
Sure, I will.
Based on Yang Mi Ryung's call records,
she spoke with you...
on the day of her disappearance.
Did you happen to see her that day?
That's right. Around 3pm,
we met for about half an hour and then split up.
What did you talk about?
Must I share personal things too?
No. My apologies.
She's a gold digger.
She wanted to make money off of a rich guy,
but once he ended up in a coma after an accident,
she came to me, his fiancée, and demanded I give her money.
She threatened to go public about her relationship with Kang Jae Wook.
So, did you give her money?
No. I had no reason to.
Can you tell me where you were on the day...
Yang Mi Ryung disappeared?
Don't tell me...
you suspect me of doing something to her.
No, no. That is definitely not it.
This is a necessary process when investigating...
a missing person's case.
Please help me out.
That's right. It's just standard procedures, so tell him everything.
Of course.
Could you tell me...
what your alibi is...
for after you left Yang Mi Ryung?
So, that day...
She was with me that day.
- Ms. Wi. - Ms. Wi.
The door was open. I didn't know you had a guest.
The kimchi came out nicely, so I brought you some.
What is your relationship with Jin Hae Rim?
I'm Kang Jae Wook's mother.
I'm Hae Rim's future mother-in-law.
I see.
On the fifth of last month, when Yang Mi Ryung went missing,
you were with Jin Hae Rim?
Yes, I was.
That way, around 4pm, I believe,
Hae Rim came to see me at the hospital.
Mi Ryung had said some nasty things to her,
so she was very upset and was crying.
Her future husband was already lying in a coma,
and then his mistress shows up and threatens her.
You can imagine how she must've felt.
I remember...
holding her and crying with her for a long time that day.
She stayed with me all night before going home.
Do you have any witnesses or something...
to corroborate your statement?
It must've been caught on the hospital cameras.
You should check them.
You're right. Okay.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'll check and call you if I need anything else.
I really hope you find Mi Ryung.
It's painful being suspected like this.
I understand.
Excuse me.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
What do you mean? I simply told him the truth.
You must've been shocked.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
You saved Hae Rim, Ms. Wi.
- Pardon? - Excuse me.
Please make some tea.
I'm sure you have something to talk to Hae Rim about,
so Hae Rim, take her upstairs.
Okay. Please come to my room.
Shall I?
I'd like to talk to her about the wedding.
I'll come right down.
You do that.
What incredible timing.
How did Jae Wook's mother show up right then?
You're right.
Thanks to that, Hae Rim confirmed an alibi.
Thank you so much.
You're going to family soon, so that's a given.
And...
above all else, I trust you.
Ms. Wi.
Why would you do something to a woman like that?
She was nothing.
Then what about the hospital security videos?
Don't worry.
I've already taken care of that.
Thank you for trusting me.
Honey, it's time to eat.
Get away from me!
Honey!
(Gangin Group)
- We can't let him off. - Of course not.
My goodness.
An emergency board meeting?
I made myself clear to him, but I'm nervous.
You should go convince Jae Wook.
Okay. I will.
Do you know what the papers are saying?
They say Gangin colluded with those scammers...
and even covered their backs.
They say we're despicable!
- Is that so? - How could they?
How could a chief director...
humiliate the company like this,
rather than help it?
Did something happen to your brain...
as a result of that accident?
You're crossing the line there.
As you all know, all the tests...
said Mr. Kang is fine now.
He merely has partial amnesia,
but nothing to hinder his daily life.
We have a doctor's report saying such.
Gangin is special.
The chairman...
and the directors worked hard to protect it.
We can't permit it crumbling like this.
I propose removing Kang Jae Wook from his position.
- He should be removed. - I agree.
- He doesn't deserve his position. - How dare he do that?
- He humiliated our company. - He should step down.
Fine.
If that will save Gangin Group,
fire me.
Termination?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Ji Sup. You talked big, but you...
made a mess of everything.
After what I did to put you there...
Before you fire me,
you need to see something.
This man...
is the one who scammed people...
using Gangin Group's shopping mall to give him investment money,
and then fled to the Philippines,
Hong Soo Chan, the CEO of Golden Development.
There is a warrant out for his arrest for fraud.
He got a fake passport...
and recently came to Korea secretly.
Why are you showing us a picture of that con artist?
- What is his point? - Why is he showing us this?
As you all know, this man with Hong Soo Chan...
is the senior manager of product development, Oh Kwang Chul.
This photo is from one year ago.
It turns out they golfed together at the same golf course...
for many years...
and are quite close.
So what? Are you saying...
Mr. Oh is a conspirator or something?
There is no proof!
This is defamation!
Proof?
How's this?
I'm not rich just yet.
All I did was buy a few houses.
What about you, Mr. Oh?
You're looking great.
Don't get me started. After you fled to the Philippines with the money,
our company was a total mess.
I was terrified that they'd find out...
that I gave you the information on the shopping mall.
You wouldn't have made all that money...
without the top secret information that I gave you.
Hey. I didn't get it for free.
I gave you 200,000 dollars.
You made all that money just by giving me information...
Jae Wook.
How dare you film me and broadcast it all over the company?
Darn it.
Cha Ra. What did you just say?
Didn't you see the papers?
You know that shopping mall scam?
The con artist that scammed you and took the money...
worked with a Gangin Group employee.
What? A Gangin Group employee?
Do you mean it?
Why would Mr. Oh Kwang Chul take such dirty money?
That video is a fake! A fake, I tell you!
Sir.
It is not proper to just protect him...
because he's your nephew.
If you really think the video is fake,
shall we hand it over to a district prosecutor?
I don't know...
since when Mr. Kang Jae Wook was a defender of justice,
but I don't think...
you're in any position to judge someone else.
What do you mean?
Okay. Take a look.
That woman...
is Kang Jae Wook's mistress,
Yang Mi Ryung.
He met her at an escort service...
and has been seeing her since.
There is a rumor that you went over...
to her place numerous times.
How could you do this?
- Goodness. - Is that true?
- You had a fiancée, - Are you all right, sir?
And yet you did something so despicable!
How can we believe what you say?
- No, we can't. - Of course not.
If we look at immorality,
Kang Jae Wook doesn't fall far behind.
So? Why don't you explain yourself?
Can't you go faster?
You don't even know where Gangin Group is.
I know that much, so just hang on tight.
(The Secret of My Man)
Please forgive me.
Why did you dig things up and make this mess?
Please help me! Please!
Please help me.
No. If my face gets printed in the paper,
Suh Ra will recognize me.
You're the one who created this mess.
I respect your choice. Goodbye.
May I help you?
Is this where Han Ji Sup lives?
I know that lady.
What? What do you mean?
If you're going to say something so outrageous, don't try to see me.
It's Daddy. It's my daddy.
