You'll divorce my daughter but go on working at Miseong?
What do you want me to do?
Shall I resign from Miseong Apparel?
- Mr. Kwon! - Yes, sir.
Empty Miseong Apparel's president's office tomorrow!
You dare threaten me?
Do you think that will work?
(Episode 24)
I will conclude this problem with our divorce...
before our 30th anniversary event is over.
Please hold back your anger until that time, Chairman Oh.
This game of chess...
that you're playing is quite interesting.
However, you must be ready to put out your life on the line...
with each move that you make.
The moment you lose,
the game won't end just by you getting kicked out.
Remember that.
Chairman Oh.
Do you still think...
I'm just a piece on your chessboard?
Don't go, Jae Hee.
I'll leave when your mom comes home. Don't worry.
- You're back. - Yes.
Hi, Woo Cheol's mom.
How was your day?
Did you have a good time with Jae Hee?
Woo Cheol had a great time with Jae Hee.
What about you?
We went grocery shopping and made some lasagna too.
It wasn't a bad day.
But...
Woo Cheol took a child's cola and had it himself.
What did you do?
I gave the money for cola to that child's mom...
and asked her to understand.
You might be faced with more difficult things in the future.
It might be too much for you to handle...
I don't want to rush things.
If I try to see the world through Woo Cheol's eyes,
I'll understand him better,
and I'll become a better caretaker as well.
Jae Hee, you were still here.
Yes. I'm about to leave.
Woo Chol, it looks like you had a great day.
- Yes. - Have you had dinner?
I'll find something to eat.
Bye, Jae Hee.
What's wrong?
Woo Jung.
Do you think a daughter...
should understand her mom even if she knew her mom was lying...
just because she's her mom?
What? What are you talking about?
I saw the security footage from the Yangsuri villa.
How did you see that?
Was it Hwa Kyung?
Even I could see...
that you and President Shin had more than a simple history.
It didn't look like history.
It looked like something was going on in the present too.
Am I even your daughter?
How can I not know something that other people already knew?
How can I hear things about you from another person?
I couldn't tell because it was you.
I didn't want you to get hurt even in the smallest way.
The one thing I have never told you about is...
what happened with President Shin.
But that doesn't mean I did anything shameful.
You have to believe me.
If it wasn't shameful, why couldn't you tell me?
Why do you keep seeing him for unknown reasons...
and do things that cause misunderstandings?
Sometimes, things of the past will catch up with your present.
I'm tired.
I need to get some rest.
I'm surprised that you came to see me.
I guess it was because you weren't home. Last night...
I thought of the day I first came home.
I was so pleased and happy.
I thought I finally had a nice home and a mom and dad.
That I'd never be abandoned again.
I said a thank-you prayer every night.
Do you remember?
When you came back from work,
I would run into your arms.
But never once...
did you hug me back with love.
You always pretended to hug me...
and rushed to let go.
I was always thirsty.
I kept drinking as I could,
but I was never satisfied.
I don't get why you're bringing up those times.
Never once...
did you mourn the real Hwa Kyung's death.
You were thorough and careful.
I was young...
and I believed...
you kept it inside...
so you wouldn't hurt me.
Hwa Kyung.
Was it when I was 10?
I'd totally forgotten it was Hwa Kyung's Memorial Day.
I ate the cake you'd bought...
and went to bed happily.
I was half-asleep...
when I heard you speak in a cold voice I'd never heard before.
Do you remember?
"Hwa Kyung."
"I can't love you."
"You shouldn't love me."
"I adopted you because I need you."
That moment...
I went from being in paradise to a fire pit.
What are you trying to say?
You'd built up a castle around you that even I,
a child, couldn't get into.
Why are you breaking it down now?
Divorce?
Didn't that word mean nothing to you?
You wouldn't give up on Miseong that easily.
Did you think that...
giving Mom the divorce papers...
would make her cry and come back to you?
I know you're manipulating her.
She's not the Yeon Hee I know.
I'm...
dealing with you who is hiding behind her.
If you know that, then you must know...
I could make Mom sign the divorce papers too.
Let's wait and see.
It's a dangerous game.
You could lose everything.
Didn't you say that...
I could gain everything?
That it's a double-edged sword?
I know your mother better than you do.
If we fight over her,
I'll win 100 percent of the time.
I told you not to underestimate Mom.
I told you to remember your place.
You're not my match yet.
Don't underestimate me either.
You made the wrong choice.
You will regret this.
What? Who's doing what?
Dad's cheating?
Stop talking nonsense.
It's not nonsense.
I heard him on the phone.
He talked to a woman and said his heart was pounding.
Dad's heart pounds and explodes whenever he sees someone pretty.
- Even mine does. - Right.
Why won't you believe me?
How can I believe you?
You said she even gave Dad money.
What woman who's cheating...
would give the man, our dad, money as well?
Are you saying I'm lying?
You wouldn't lie, but you could be exaggerating.
Yes. How can you tell just over a call?
- Unless you saw them... - I saw them.
- What? - What?
Dad grabbed her hand.
He grabbed?
You saw them?
It's true. She called Dad as Chang Soo.
Whose daughter is calling her dad by his name late at night?
With her two brothers too?
Dad, I must ask you something.
I'm cheating?
Me? I'm a cheater?
And I took the woman's money?
That sounds as stupid as a worm breaking a rib.
How could my own children make me out as a cheater?
I don't have an income...
and your mom may abuse me,
but now even my own children look down on me.
You aren't putting on a show, are you?
It's a show? Fine, call it that.
I spoiled you...
and you're calling me a liar and a clown.
Dad, Jae Hee has a vivid imagination that got out of control.
It's not true, right?
If I cheat on your mom,
I'd chase a thunderstorm and get hit by lightning.
Enough to equal the total of our family's age.
This must be why people say kids are of no use.
Yoon Chang Soo feels really sad tonight.
Did you see that reaction? It's not true.
That's strange. There definitely is something.
Yes, Dad's right.
We should believe our dad.
Let's forget all about tonight. Okay?
My gosh. That was so close.
Did they believe me?
All that acting gave me a headache.
Acting is no joke. It's not fun.
Oh, dear.
I just can't get my hands on it.
Who can find 30,000 dollars in a month?
He's a thief.
Look at you sleeping away...
while your wife's worried about money.
How can you sleep? How can you?
My 30,000 dollars.
- Do you have 30,000 dollars? - Yes.
30,000 dollars.
He's dreaming of a windfall.
If only it were reality.
You good-for-nothing fool.
I wish you had a stash put away for a rainy day.
My money. 30,000 dollars. 30,000...
So what if a man got distracted for a while?
How can he take it if you suffocate him like that?
Even a worm fights back.
Do you think President Shin has no pride?
It's all my fault then.
He wants to divorce me...
because I'm mean.
You shouldn't have gone too far.
How angry do you think he is...
for him not to budge when I went to his hotel?
Even when you went to see him?
I think he's really determined this time.
He might really sign the divorce papers.
He wouldn't, Grandpa.
This is what he wants.
He wants to...
make us believe that he wants a divorce.
You can't follow your mind all the time.
It's a matter of the heart between a couple.
Following one's emotions and heart...
Dad isn't like that!
Hwa Kyung.
How dare you raise your voice in front of your grandfather?
Sorry, Grandpa.
I'm off to work.
Okay.
Mom.
What? Yes, my dear daughter?
You won't get any ideas, will you?
What kind of ideas?
Like going to see Dad to beg him to come back.
If you do that, it means you'll lose.
- You know that, right? - Yes, I know.
That means I lose.
I should go shop for a new bag.
- Hi, Woo Cheol. - Hi, Mom's manager guy.
Let's go, ladies.
Woo Cheol, I'll drop you off at the bus stop.
Let's do that.
It's okay. I'll get Woo Cheol on the bus...
and take the bus to work.
Why?
I don't need to let everyone know that I'm your daughter.
People are already saying...
that I got to do the radio for another week because of you.
Who says that?
Bye.
General Manager Yoon, drive safely.
- Woo Cheol, let's go. - Let's go.
Is Woo Jung okay?
Why is Dad here at this hour?
So...
What is it, Chang Soo? You can tell me.
I have a favor to ask.
You can relax.
I'm a junior from your hometown. You don't have to be so polite.
Right.
I'm a man of manners, that's why.
I just do that automatically.
What's the favor?
About that money.
I thought Yong Sim should never find out about it.
Don't worry.
I won't ever tell anyone that I gave it to you.
But let me tell you this.
That isn't your money.
I know. Of course, it's not.
Thank you so much.
Sure.
General Manager Yoon, grab a cup of coffee and wait here.
Sure, Ms. Han. Have a great day today.
She isn't in a good mood again.
My gosh, she ignored me again.
Hey, Hwa Kyung!
My gosh, she holds grudges.
Is she going to treat me like a stranger?
I can't give up like this.
How can I make her feel better?
I guess you haven't heard.
Is there something else that I should know?
My dad is going to get a divorce.
What? A divorce?
I'm sure your mom probably heard by now.
I knew she wasn't going to tell you.
Well, I guess it's tough to tell your daughter...
that she's about to break a family.
Are you saying it's my mom's fault?
Do you think it isn't?
After my dad gets divorced,
maybe she'll want to live with him next.
Shin Hwa Kyung. Watch your mouth.
How dare you get angry at me?
Han Woo Jung, get a good grasp on the situation.
You should be...
apologizing and asking me for forgiveness on her behalf.
What's going on?
- Did you two just fight? - No.
Min Gyu, do you want a cup of tea?
I'll make a special cup just for you.
No, I'll make my own special coffee.
Aren't you going to the meeting for "Missing Memories"?
- I have time to grab a cup of tea. - I see.
Okay.
A lot of important questions are left out from this script.
Oh, really?
There aren't many questions that can touch the mom's emotions,
who lived without her daughter.
And she doesn't seem too thrilled to meet her daughter.
You need to develop the questions on their future.
Why? I really enjoyed it.
Producer Choi, what do you think?
How can I put this?
It's fun, but it's not very touching.
Have you been too tired lately?
You need to be healthy to write well.
You should take some red ginseng.
I'll edit the script, Producer Yoon.
Please excuse me.
My gosh, this is bad.
The notice just went up.
Producer Hwang of "Escaping Unemployment"...
got salary reduction for six months,
and he was transferred to a non-production department.
He was disciplined for faking the interviewee, right?
Yes.
He was the most likely to become the next chief. This is shocking.
It doesn't matter if he was going to get promoted higher.
Fabricating a TV program can't be forgiven.
It's the price he paid for losing his first spirit.
(Yoon Jae Bin)
Apology and forgiveness.
That's what white tulips mean.
What are you apologizing for, and what do you want me to forgive?
I lied to you against my will.
Against your will?
I have a position to hold too.
I have to pretend...
to not have seen or heard things as Ms. Han's manager.
I know that I put you on a spot.
Then do you understand?
To some extent.
Don't you also hold a position as my male friend?
What? Your male friend?
Jae Bin, I thought you were my guy friend.
Are you granting me the position as your male friend?
Then you are my female friend?
That all depends on what you do from now on.
What can I do?
Prove to me...
that you are worth trusting and depending on as a friend.
Of course. I will do my best as your male friend.
Then let's grab a meal soon to celebrate our reconciliation.
Are you asking me out?
Let's say it's a regular meeting between male and female friends.
My gosh.
Please help me become a good manager for Ms. Han...
and a good male friend for Hwa Kyung at the same time.
Go Eun Sung, are you here alone?
Yes.
Do you have nothing on your schedule again?
Yes.
It'll be tough to get a regular job for a while.
Why?
Don't you know?
You gave up on your audition. Who would give you a job?
Chief Jeong, I am greatly disappointed too.
I feel falsely blamed.
I understand that you are disappointed.
But I don't understand how you're falsely blamed.
What happened was...
- Flowers? - I got them as a present.
Eun Sung, go on.
What?
It's nothing, Chief Jeong.
What was that?
I have a meeting to get to.
You even got flowers.
Do you have a fan already?
Are you happy?
You stole my job and pretend like you're a success.
That must feel great.
That wasn't your job, and I didn't pretend like I was a success.
My feeling?
It didn't feel too bad.
You said you'd give me a shot.
When will that be?
You're not able to help me...
and I let you control me.
Everyone thinks I'm a fool now.
I came first in the audition...
and I quit...
an internal audition because of nerves!
Who told you to be so stupid?
What?
(Again, Good Friend MBS Announcer)
Oh, right. My pass.
You benefited from me as I ruined Woo Jung's phone.
But instead of thanking me...
you're calling me stupid?
You were stupid.
How could you think of dropping someone's phone in a bucket?
What was that about?
Is what I heard true?
Who put whose phone in a bucket?
- Chief. - You two.
Stay right here until I come back from my meeting.
I love you.
Me too.
Why do you love me?
Because you're pretty?
What?
See? You're pretty even when you glare.
Is that the only reason you love me?
Do I need another reason?
- Save me. - Come here.
If you feel frustrated,
make Dad feel the same.
If you want to cling to him,
make him cling to you.
Only then he will be truly be yours.
No, no.
What does she know? She's only 27.
She doesn't know how marriage works.
Have my car ready.
Woo Jung.
Hello.
Why did you come to see me?
I have something to say.
I don't have much time.
I just need 10 minutes.
Let's have some tea then.
Is it because of my mom?
Your reason for divorce.
What are you talking about?
I know you dated my mom in the past.
Why did you, Hwa Kyung's dad and Miseong's president,
have to be my mom's ex-boyfriend?
I was perplexed and upset at first.
But we can't change the past.
That should be the end of it.
Why did you make it this bad?
I never thought you'd come to me to say that.
I'm sorry.
What can I say to make you understand?
I don't want to tell you to leave it to the adults...
because you're just 27 years old.
Then answer me.
Did my mother play any part at all in your decision to divorce...
No.
It's about me and it's between me and my wife.
It has nothing to do with Ms. Han.
Mom said the same.
But...
You trusted her more than anyone.
Shouldn't you of all people be on her side?
What changed?
She keeps hiding things from me.
And I keep finding out through others.
It's too hard.
And...
I'm afraid I'm slowly losing trust in her.
I want you to leave her alone.
Stop Hwa Kyung and...
your wife from doubting her too.
Please.
I understand what you mean.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
I apologize sincerely.
If you divorce me,
you'll see Joo Won...
and her daughter too?
- Yeon Hee. - Do you want to start a new family?
Do as you want.
Let's get divorced.
(Secret and Lies)
I lost all trust in you.
It's over between us.
- I'll divorce him. - What?
Kick him out of the company.
I must survive this crisis.
- What's a lie? - I saw you.
Are you really cheating on me?
- Move out. - Move out?
Work here for a salary.
What do you gain from revealing that?
What do you mean?
- What about Woo Jung? - Should I tell you this?
I said it's a dangerous deal.
Change your mom's mind.
And if I help? What will I get?
I will divorce Myung Joon.
