(Episode 42)
You're here, Mr. Yoon.
Are you okay, Hwa Kyung?
Come in.
Hwa Kyung.
She's probably fatigued from a lot of stress.
She'll be better after she gets some sleep.
Did she call you out again?
Yes. She said she'll give me data for Miseong's corruption.
That's probably just an excuse.
I don't exactly know why,
but she's in a lot of trouble and pain.
And she keeps looking for you in those moments.
Ms. Han went to Chairman Oh...
and told him that Hwa Kyung was adopted.
What are you talking about?
Why would she do that?
I'm sure she had a reason.
The one who abducted Woo Jung...
was not President Shin, but Hwa Kyung.
She got kicked out because of that.
How can that be?
I wanted the data,
but I wanted to know what happened too.
You told them that they can keep using Han Joo Won?
Yes. You must do business in the right timing.
You don't take down a mother who's furious about her kid...
as soon as she fights back.
He's right, honey. So next time...
Next time? When?
When I die?
Do you expect me to leave...
Han Woo Jung and Han Joo Won when Hwa Kyung got kicked out?
Yeon Hee.
I always told you to not show your emotions like this.
Like I said, this isn't the right time.
Then what are we supposed to do?
Say something, Dad.
Yeon Seok's son is still alive.
I need to find him first.
I thought he wasn't found...
even when Mr. Kwon went down to Busan to look everywhere for him.
How are you going to find him?
I'm desperately looking for him.
If the deities are watching,
I'm sure they will grant this old man's wish.
I'm sure we'll hear good news very soon.
You kick out Hwa Kyung, who's right in front of you,
and you are looking...
for Yeon Seok's son, who's practically gone missing?
What's with you?
Something is weird. I'm sure something is going on.
What is?
Why is he looking for Yeon Seok's son in a hurry?
He just wants to find his bloodline quickly...
because he doesn't like both me or Hwa Kyung right now.
You're right. Once he finds him,
he might make him his successor right away.
Would you be happy to see that?
Why would I be?
He might be Yeon Seok's son,
but I can't let someone who grew up as a stranger...
take Miseong over.
But you voted against me becoming the managing director?
Do I have to explain the reason in my own words again?
I'll get Hwa Kyung back in here before Dad finds his grandson.
Until then, you have to get rid of Han Woo Jung and Han Joo Won...
so that they are completely gone.
That's the only way you can get your position back.
I wonder if Hwa Kyung had dinner.
I'll stop by the hotel.
Hwa Kyung didn't show up to work.
They say she got kicked out of her house too.
I know.
Did you meet Vice Chairman Oh?
Yes.
You too?
Yes.
Was it all right?
It seems like she doesn't know...
that Hwa Kyung was adopted.
She'll find out soon enough.
Mom.
Don't you regret...
doing that to Hwa Kyung?
I don't feel great either.
But I had no other way...
to protect myself and you.
I can't say that it was the best decision,
but it was inevitable.
I can't believe that Hwa Kyung and I used to be good friends.
I can't even remember our good times anymore.
- I'm home. - We're back.
Look.
Woo Cheol wants to give you two an invitation.
Jae Bin?
You probably hoped that I was Do Bin.
You won't believe me even if I said no.
First off, let's have some porridge.
Here.
Come on.
Eat up.
Why did you do that?
Do what?
Abducting Woo Jung.
Did Woo Jung say I abducted her?
I'm not trying to find out if it's true or not.
Then what?
I feel bad for you.
What's troubling you so much?
Why do you put yourself in so much pain?
That's enough.
Just remember this.
Even if you lose everything and walk out of Miseong,
I'll be there by your side.
I don't care if you are a good person or not.
I just like you...
as you are.
I'll get it. Stay here.
You're...
Hello.
Mom.
Isn't he Han Joo Won's manager?
I am, Vice Chairman Oh.
Why is he here?
Please don't misunderstand.
I heard she wasn't feeling well,
so I just stopped by with some porridge.
He's right.
Thank you, Jae Bin. You should go.
Yes.
Goodbye.
Why did I have to run into Vice Chairman Oh out of all people?
She'll definitely misunderstand me.
If you're outside, you should learn to behave better.
Don't let just anyone in.
- Why did you do that? - Don't get any weird ideas.
I thought you liked Mr. Yoon.
What's going on between you and that guy?
He's Do Bin's brother.
What?
Han Joo Won's manager is Mr. Yoon's brother?
Yes. We're just friends.
He's my male friend, and I'm his female friend.
No matter how close you two are, this is a hotel.
How would it look to other people to see a man and a woman here?
- What if rumors begin... - You don't have to be worried.
I thought you were sick, but you're completely fine.
Are you okay?
Mom.
When can I go back home?
Your grandpa won't let go of his anger easily.
He's harsh against everyone else...
except to his own blood.
I have no idea why he's doing this to you.
Maybe you adopted me.
Maybe I'm not Grandpa's real granddaughter.
What are you talking about?
What if... And this is an if, Mom.
How would you feel if I wasn't your real daughter?
Why do you suddenly ask me such a weird question?
It's an if, Mom.
If?
I couldn't live with you.
How can I keep seeing you if you aren't my daughter?
That's horrifying to think about. You're so silly.
You're right.
I guess I was too shocked because Grandpa threw me out.
Of course.
Why is he doing this to you...
and looking for some strange kid?
A strange kid?
Your late uncle's son seems to be alive.
My uncle's son?
I thought he died ages ago.
We thought he was dead too,
but he recently heard that he is alive.
He kicks out his precious granddaughter to a hotel...
and goes looking for his grandson, who's nowhere to be found.
How does this make any sense?
Jang Hyeon Sook got a job.
The place seems to have a connection with your grandson.
(Jamun Medical Company, sitz bath)
I told you to not carry heavy stuff. Give it to me.
It's okay, Chang Soo. I'll get it.
Don't make me feel uncomfortable. Give it to me.
Look at you two. What's going on here?
Yong Sim.
Why is she here?
What's going on between you two?
What? Nothing is going on.
Then why did you hide her here?
Yong Sim, please don't take this the wrong way.
I asked him if I could work here.
I'm doing bad financially, so...
Work?
Are you out of your mind?
How can you let her work here?
Were you talking to her about how our son isn't actually ours?
It's not like that. Jae Bin suddenly walked in...
You always make the biggest trouble.
What are you going to do? What will you do now?
I've done wrong. You can beat me as much as you want.
You can beat me to death.
But this is my business. You can beat me up at home.
Stop it. How dare you!
Hello.
You're Chairman Oh's secretary.
What brings you here?
I'm here to talk with Ms. Jang.
You're working at Mr. Yoon's place.
He's a friend from my hometown.
I needed to make some money for my trip.
He isn't just a friend.
He's Ms. Yoon Ji Soo's brother.
So what?
Chairman Oh...
has already met Mr. Yoon's family.
Their eldest son, Producer Yoon Do Bin,
has saved Chairman Oh's life before.
After that,
he has been to their restaurant himself too.
Does Mr. Yoon know who adopted...
Chairman Oh's grandson?
He doesn't know either.
He cut ties with Ji Soo.
And you shouldn't believe...
that everyone I meet are involved with Chairman Oh's grandson.
Yoon Chang Soo?
The owner of the blowfish soup place is Yoon Ji Soo's brother?
You're right.
If Yoon Ji Soo asked Jang Hyeon Sook...
to look after her son instead of her brother,
that means her relationship with her family wasn't very good.
Yes. When Ms. Yoon began to date Yeon Seok,
she cut ties with her family.
Dig deeper into Yoon Chang Soo's family.
I'm sure you'll find something.
Yes, Chairman Oh.
Have you found Yeon Seok's son yet?
Not yet.
I have one more favor to ask.
It doesn't look like abducting Woo Jung...
is the only reason why Chairman Oh kicked out Hwa Kyung.
Find out the real reason.
Do you know what the reason is?
No.
Then find out as soon as possible.
Yes, Vice Chairman Oh.
What brings you here?
Are you doing okay at the hotel?
Yes.
You must be really troubled.
How can I help you?
I've been such a brat to you.
I've done and said things that can't happen between...
a normal father and daughter relationship.
I'm sure it was difficult for you to hold back at times.
You gave me the gift of such a great life,
but I was nothing but ungrateful.
Why are you suddenly saying this?
After I got kicked out...
and began staying at a hotel,
I suddenly realized that I should be thankful for you.
You and I lived together for over 20 years.
We couldn't be in a fight all the time.
We couldn't live every single day thinking that this is fake.
To me, you were like my real dad.
You never carried me on your shoulders,
went to ride a merry-go-round,
or came...
to my graduations with flowers,
but you were always a dad to me.
Why do you suddenly pretend like you're a sweet daughter?
What do you want?
Are you asking me to help you return to Miseong as soon as possible?
Please help me.
You need me too.
I may not be a real daughter,
but I'm more like you than your real daughter can be.
And...
if Grandpa finds my late uncle's son,
you'll need me even more.
I knew that was it.
Did your mom tell you?
If Uncle's son comes into the Miseong family,
he'll become the strongest candidate as his successor.
I'll help you.
So please help me too.
Mr. Yoon.
Yes, Ms. Han. Do you have something to say?
Are you in a bad mood?
The way you look and the way you talk seems odd.
Are you mad at me?
It's not that I'm mad.
If you got something to say, say it. It's making me uncomfortable.
Okay, I will.
But let's go somewhere quiet.
Yes, you're right.
I told Chairman Oh that Hwa Kyung was adopted.
Why are you angry about this?
How can you do that?
Even if you were angry about what happened to Woo Jung.
You should have considered Hwa Kyung at least once more.
She tried to hurt Woo Jung.
And who knows what she's up to now?
How much more do I have to be considerate of her?
Hwa Kyung was very wrong...
for abducting Woo Jung.
But I'm sure she didn't mean to get her hurt.
And she returned safely.
She pretends like she's strong and bad,
- but she's actually... - I know her better.
Mr. Yoon, do you like her?
She has a soft heart.
She was someone who lived her entire life walking on thin ice.
How can you push her over the edge?
She made that thin ice herself.
She practically walked off the edge too.
- Ms. Han. - This is hard for me too.
It wasn't easy.
But that was the only way.
There is no one else...
other than Chairman Oh who can stop her.
Can you stop her?
If you can't do that,
don't blame me anymore for what I have done.
I'll only think about protecting my family from now on.
I feel great.
You called first to see me.
How are you feeling? Do you feel better?
Yes, thanks to you.
Why did you leave so early?
I was a bit disappointed...
because I only saw Jae Bin when I woke up.
Are you...
the person who abducted Woo Jung?
- What? - Are you the one behind Mr. Min?
Answer me.
Who said I abducted Woo Jung?
Did Woo Jung tell you?
Han Woo Jung.
I'm at the cafe in the TV station. Come here for a second.
- You didn't need to call her. - No.
I can't stand being misunderstood by you out of all people.
Then who abducted her?
If I abducted Woo Jung...
and had another plan,
why do you think I let Mr. Seo run away?
I would have given him over to Grandpa or someone.
What is it?
Be honest in front of Do Bin.
Did I abduct you?
What? Why do you suddenly bring that up?
It's what you told Do Bin.
You said that I abducted you.
You ordered Secretary Min to abduct me.
- Do you have evidence? - I heard it from Mr. Min.
So you just took his word for it with no evidence...
and framed me as an abductor?
Is this how you got kicked me out by making your mom...
tell my grandpa that I was adopted?
You admitted that you abducted me.
Admitted? Me?
I didn't. You just believed I did.
Mr. Min abducted you because he was...
overly loyal to my dad.
I heard about it and asked him...
to let you go without hurting you. That's the truth.
I tried to explain it to you,
but you wouldn't even listen.
Why do you think so?
You just needed an excuse to hate me without feeling bad.
Nonsense.
This is frustrating.
I made a tough decision and wanted to help you.
But you treat me like someone...
who abducts her friend and a fraud.
I'm really disappointed.
I'm really disappointed in you too.
Did you forget why I got kicked out?
I better go.
Woo Jung.
You can go after her.
You always...
put her before me.
Mr. Min's excessive loyalty?
You told him to let me go?
That's not right.
You're right. That's not right.
Hwa Kyung.
Aren't you curious to find out...
which one of us will get Do Bin trust?
Mr. Yoon will trust me.
If it's that easy to trust someone, there won't be any problems.
People always believe...
whatever they want, not the truth.
Why are you pretending to help Mr. Yoon?
I'm not pretending. I'm really helping him.
I really mean that.
What?
Didn't you know?
I like him.
I'll make him into my man.
I know you like him too.
But I won't let you steal him.
What happened to you?
What happened to me?
Who's the one that went digging after a secret...
I wanted to hide forever?
Who's the one that exposed...
the secret I wanted to forget because of family and whatnot?
Have you forgotten?
In the end, your mom used that secret...
and got me kicked out of my house that I worked all my life for.
If my mom finds out,
that'll be the end of me.
I can't just sit around and wait for that to happen.
I'm going to get back on my feet.
And to do that,
I can't let you or your mom go on like this.
I felt a bit bad about you.
I felt what my mom did was too much.
But I should forget about that now.
I finally found out what you're really like.
I won't just sit around either.
I won't let you trample all over me.
Stop playing the victim.
I'm the victim.
(President Shin Myung Joon)
Hello?
Come to think about it, I don't even know what you like.
I don't even know what color you like...
or what your dream is.
I just want to have a casual conversation. Is that okay?
A conversation about what?
I have nothing to discuss with you, President Shin.
I only found out after 27 years,
but I'm still your father.
I thought we could meet up for a meal at least once.
Find out where and when Dad is seeing Han Woo Jung.
Quickly.
Come in.
Why did you want to see me?
Don't be so serious. Let's eat some delicious food while we talk.
Don't you feel sorry for Hwa Kyung?
Hwa Kyung?
You brought her up like your own for 20 years.
And you're seeing me now.
If Hwa Kyung finds out, she wouldn't be pleased.
I can't stop seeing you just because she feels unpleasant.
If I should be sorry for anyone,
I should be sorry for you because I let you live 27 years...
without knowing who your father is.
Didn't you say you like chicken,
like me?
Why are you doing this?
Doing what?
You seem different.
I was confused at first.
That's why...
I wanted to avoid everything.
But I decided to accept the reality now.
The reality?
What do you mean?
I...
decided to take you in as my daughter.
What?
I want to do everything for you that I couldn't before.
I want us to watch a movie,
get something good to eat,
and go shopping together.
We could have done more things if we had met earlier.
I could have given you a ride on my shoulders,
go ride on a merry-go-round,
and give you flowers on your graduations.
I haven't done much with Hwa Kyung.
But it makes me feel excited...
to think about doing these things with you.
Why do you suddenly want to become my dad?
It's not sudden.
From the moment I found out you were my daughter...
No, from the moment I met you,
- from the bottom of my heart... - What do you really want to say?
This was just the introduction.
Tell me what you want to say.
I'm really worried about you and your mother.
What is this?
I found a few schools that you can go to.
What? Schools?
Since you worked as an announcer, you can major in journalism.
You can go to the US,
and I heard Germany isn't so bad when it comes to journalism.
Is this the reason why you pretended to be like you're a sweet dad?
You made a plan to drive me out of here...
pretending like you're worried about my future?
I'm not trying to drive you out.
You won't believe me, but it's for your protection.
Hwa Kyung's mom found out that you're my daughter too.
Things might get more difficult than you think.
For both you and your mother.
Both my mom and I know how to protect ourselves.
Thank you for the food.
Woo Jung.
I found out that you didn't abduct me.
So I felt a little bad.
President Shin,
you might not be an abductor,
but you still aren't a good father or a good person.
I won't cry. I won't.
I don't think of him as my father.
I can't let you off anymore, Dad.
And you, Woo Jung. I can't let you be like this either.
I'll destroy you both.
