Min Su.
Oh, dear.
Gosh.
There's no more powdered formula.
Just a moment.
Oh, dear. I'll get you some food.
Grandma, we need to talk.
Jeong Hoon's our eldest son.
If you can't have children,
it's only right that he adopts a child to carry his name.
She said that as if she's glad you're infertile.
People adopt strangers' kids,
so she thinks she can make you adopt Min Su.
She'll want you to raise him too later on.
I enjoyed that.
(Episode 121)
- Mal Soon. - You're back.
Do you have any leftovers?
I forced myself to eat everything because I hate having leftovers.
There's nothing for me to eat?
Didn't you say you're meeting Mr. Kim for lunch?
Don't even ask. He stood me up.
And I had no money for food.
I felt like wailing like that baby I saw in the alley.
- What baby are you talking about? - What?
I just saw one.
Mal Soon, can you get me some food?
I'm starving.
Okay, fine.
My gosh.
Ms. Hong, are you in?
Is anyone home?
Ms. Hong?
Why are you looking for me?
You went out?
Yes, to get powdered formula. Why do you want to see me?
Do you have any leftover rice?
I'd like to borrow some.
- Wait out here. - Okay.
This is all we have. Is it enough?
Yes, of course it is.
You went out leaving the baby alone?
He's calm and quiet so I rushed out.
I see. He must be really calm.
He's just like his dad.
- Jeong Hoon was really quiet. - I see.
I have to watch him. You rush home.
- Okay. Thank you. - Sure.
Oh, dear. Min Su, Granny's home.
Where did he go?
Did Ok Boon see he was alone and take him?
Mom, are you upset about Bok Shil?
Don't worry.
She's innocent. So if we catch the fraud,
she can clear her of a false charge.
I hope we do.
Ok Boon.
Where's Min Su?
Why are you looking for him here?
What?
Didn't you bring him here?
Why would I do that?
- Grandma, what's wrong? - Mother.
Min Su's gone.
I thought you took him. What should we do?
What are you talking about, Mother?
- How... - Oh, dear.
Min Su. Where could he be?
What?
What happened, Mother?
Why is he gone?
Mother.
You see,
we were out of powdered formula so I went to the store to get some.
Then I bought an outfit for him to put on when we give him back.
He was gone when I got back.
Why did you go out leaving him on his own?
I wasn't out for long. It was just a short while.
Someone came and took him, right?
Do you think Soon Young took him?
Soon Young?
Yes. His mom was here.
Soon Young took him.
I'll go and ask.
Don't bother.
I said I'd send him over when she recovers,
but she couldn't wait and took him in secret.
That brat.
Is your appetite back...
or are you forcing yourself to eat so you can bring Min Su?
Kids only listen when they're kids.
Now you think he's your everything, but wait until he's older.
He'll go back to his family. You should think about yourself.
Even if it's not Mr. Yoon, don't just think about being a single mom.
You should be enjoying life with a husband, not focus on Min Su.
Let them keep Min Su and live your own life.
You're my aunt, but if you keep saying that, I won't see you again.
I'll get Min Su back in a few days so stop saying that.
Fine. I'm sick of your stubbornness.
I won't worry about you anymore. Let's live like we're strangers.
My gosh.
Why isn't she back yet?
Where did you go?
To see your in-laws?
What? No.
You didn't go to see them?
I did not.
My goodness. You don't have to snap.
If you didn't go to them, where were you for so long?
I was at the boutique.
The boutique?
She rushed out to deal with Min Su's custody...
but why did she go to the boutique?
(Somang Orphanage)
I'm leaving him here because he has no parents.
Look after him well.
Don't worry.
(Somang Orphanage)
I had no choice.
I can't register him as my son.
What if they want me to raise him?
I did nothing wrong.
Why should I become unhappy because of that kid?
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
Yes, I was waiting for a call.
You sent a few relics in for appraisal?
Yes, I'll come over tomorrow.
Okay, bye.
Come in.
You came over just as I was about to call you.
Take a seat.
They sent a few relics...
found at our site for appraisal.
The Office of Cultural Properties called...
asking us to stop all work until the results come out.
Okay. That's up to you.
You don't have to worry about Mi Jin.
She's not infertile. She just has a harder time conceiving.
Medical science is quite advanced...
and she can have a baby if she's treated.
Tell your mother and grandmother...
so they don't worry when they shouldn't have to. Understand?
Okay.
I have something to say.
What is it about?
It's about my sister.
Didn't Sang Pil explain the situation?
That's why I'm asking you.
I won't cause any trouble for Congressman Oh or his daughter.
Please let her talk to the press.
Sang Pil knows better than anyone that my sister's innocent.
Give up something small for the greater good.
What's more important than hiding that your father defected?
Don't fixate on a small issue.
Nothing good will come from upsetting Congressman Oh.
Don't think of bringing that up again, okay?
I calculated an estimated increase of expenses caused by the discovery.
Okay.
Did you ask Mr. Hwang about Bok Shil?
He's adamant because a congressman's daughter's involved.
I'm not to talk about it because we shouldn't upset Congressman Oh.
I see.
I think it's my fault that Bok Shil can't clear her name.
I feel terrible.
Don't say that. You have no choice.
I'll see if we can somehow clear her name...
without a press conference.
Okay, thanks.
Mr. Cha, did you finalize the sale of the record company?
Yes. It's not official yet, so keep it to yourself.
Okay.
By the way, I heard Hye Rin is a daughter of a congressman.
Is that why she was so arrogant?
How could she frame Se Ra?
Shouldn't you clear her name?
Don't get involved.
Where's Se Ra?
I think she's crying in storage because of the fight.
Se Ra.
Do you hate me?
I know you had no choice.
You must still be upset.
I was angry at first and I felt betrayed too.
But my family's guilty by association,
so you did the best you could do.
I understand.
But...
I think this is the end for me.
That's why I'm upset and angry.
People who recognize me in the street...
seem to whisper about me singing in a club.
I'm too scared to go outside.
Don't be like that.
They'll forget after time passes.
Give it some time and wait.
I'll do whatever I can to keep your career afloat...
with minor damage.
I should go.
Just because Hye Rin's dad is a congressman,
there's nothing we can do when she framed Bok Shil...
and took her film role?
Mr. Cha couldn't come to the press conference...
because of her dad, right?
He wouldn't let him go to the press conference.
That's why we must find the fraud.
Then we can clear Bok Shil's name without a press conference.
Right. We can help her out.
Let's check out the cafe where they met again tomorrow,
and ask around some more agencies.
Okay, thanks.
This is my job too. I'm Bok Shil's manager.
Right, you are.
I'm so happy that I get to spend the whole day with you.
- About Min Su. - Yes?
If you have to adopt and raise him,
I have no problem with that.
He's really sweet...
and more than anything, I like you, so I can do it.
Thanks, Choon Ja.
You don't have to apologize to me.
Sorry for asking you to wait. For being so selfish.
I waited for you until now.
At least now I know you like me too,
so if it's like this, I can wait for thousands of years.
I won't ask you to wait that long.
You should go. I have to go to work.
Okay. See you.
- Bye. - Bye.
I thought you were Mr. Jo.
Where is he going in such a hurry?
Lucky Entertainment sold something...
and he ranted about that then rushed over.
What does he have to do with a talent agency?
Why ask me?
You know everything there is to know about him.
He used to pick pockets and stole your family's gold.
Daeguk's Mr. Hwang used to pick pockets with him.
Why won't you do anything when you know all that?
I just don't get it.
Mr. Cha.
You can't do this.
You sold Rainbow Records?
How could you do that without consulting me?
Don't act like it's your company...
because you take a bit of the profit.
What?
Do you know why I sold Rainbow Records?
Because of the gold bars you stole.
The gold bars? What does that have to do with this?
If you want to know, ask Mr. Hwang. I'm busy.
Is this how things are now?
You should watch how you treat me.
If we decided to be allies, we should act like it.
Don't disrespect me like this.
Bok Shil.
Why do you look so blue?
Do you want to talk?
Let's go.
Jeong Hoon feels bad about it all.
It bothers him that he couldn't help because of his situation.
He thinks he caused you harm.
Tell him not to think about it like that.
It wasn't his fault.
I told Mr. Cha that I don't blame him either.
It's just that our circumstances are like this.
Right.
Stay strong and it'll be fine.
Yes. I'll be strong.
Because of our dad,
Jeong Hoon couldn't practice law...
and broke up with the woman he loved.
Now he lives with his in-laws.
Now I understand how he felt.
I bet that...
he felt he was surrounded by darkness with no way out.
So he was forced to choose to work at Mi Jin's father's company.
To be honest,
that's how I feel.
Sometimes I even think that...
it's all over for me.
No. Don't give up, Bok Shil.
I won't.
Mr. Cha told me to wait.
That he'll...
do what he can so I can continue...
with minimum damage.
But now...
I won't rely only on Mr. Cha.
I won't just expect him to help.
I'll find a way out on my own.
I don't want to just give up. I won't.
Good. That's the right attitude.
Don't be like you're low in spirits.
I'll help you too.
Okay. Thanks, Kyung Ho.
I told you not to bother.
I need to see for myself for my own peace of mind.
Soon Young is not the kind of person to take Min Su without a word.
Who else would've taken him?
She said we could register him...
and she changed her mind.
That's why she took him in secret.
I'll just go and check.
And to give her the powdered formula and clothes you bought.
Bok Shil's home.
You can send her instead.
Where to?
Go to Soon Young.
What for?
Go and see if Min Su's there.
He's not at home?
Your grandma went out to buy powdered formula...
and we think she came over around then.
She took Min Su when no one was home?
She wouldn't do that.
I know. That's why I was about to go and check.
Give this to her and see if Min Su's fine. Okay?
Okay.
I hate her even more.
I said she could have him back when she recovers.
She couldn't wait that long and took him in secret.
Soon Young, it's Bok Shil.
Are you inside?
Why are you here?
Hi, is Min Su...
- Why? - What?
It's nothing.
- Sit down. - Okay.
Are you on your own?
Yes, my aunt went to buy something.
Why are you here?
I heard you were sick and got worried.
I'm fine now.
Your grandma said she'd let me have Min Su once I recover.
So I eat well nowadays.
Is Min Su okay?
Yes. Now I see you're okay, I should go then.
Bok Shil. Take this with you.
What's this?
Aren't you Jeong Hoon's sister? Why are you here?
Is Min Su not here?
He's with your family.
Didn't you take him?
Didn't Soon Young take him from our place?
Who would take him?
Then where is he?
Min Su is not at our home.
What do you mean?
Min Su's gone.
He disappeared while Grandma went to buy powdered formula.
So we thought Soon Young had taken him.
- What? - What now?
What should we do now?
I took him to you and now he's gone?
I have to go and tell my mom.
Oh, dear. What's going on? Min Su's gone?
Hey. Why are you out here?
Did you see Bok Shil?
Yes. She left already.
She left this.
What's this?
Oh, dear... Min Su...
What's wrong?
These are baby clothes, that's why.
- Go back inside. - Stop it.
Why did Bok Shil leave this?
They're going to send Min Su back.
Maybe she dropped these off first.
Let's go back inside. Come on.
Oh, dear. If Min Su's not there,
did they lose our Min Su?
What should we do?
What'll happen to Soon Young and Min Su?
My goodness.
The blowing wind makes me sad
Yearning for you makes me sad
My tears won't stop falling
The tears of the defeated
Memories of our crazy love
They won't be forgotten so easily
Look at me because I now have
A heart full of wounds and scars
How did we end up
So out of step with each other
I miss your soft touches
Is it all a lie
I hate you so much, but I love you
It hurts so bad, but I love you
You can't just leave me like this
You just can't
Did you see Min Su?
No. Soon Young didn't take him.
What do you mean Soon Young didn't take him?
Min Su is not at Soon Young's.
Ok Boon.
What did Bok Shil just say?
Are you sure? Did you see for yourself?
Yes. Soon Young asked me how Min Su's doing.
- Oh, dear. - Mother.
- Mother. - Grandma.
What should we do?
If his mom didn't take him,
who took our Min Su?
- Did Choon Ja take him? - Who took him?
She adored the kid.
I'll go.
No, I'll go.
Min Su.
Min Su. Oh, no...
Choon Ja.
- Hey. - Hello.
Choon Ja? Why do you want to see her?
Is she home?
Yes. Choon Ja.
Why, Dad?
Hello, Ok Boon.
Choon Ja.
Did you take Min Su?
Min Su? No.
No?
Why would you ask her about Min Su?
Choon Ja adored the baby...
so we thought she took him.
I was out all day and just got back.
Jeong Tae and I are hunting for a fraud.
Did you find him?
No. We'll try again tomorrow.
Is Min Su not at home then?
The thing is...
he just disappeared without a trace.
- What? - What?
How should we find him?
Should we call the police?
I'll go instead.
I'll come with you too.
How did you lose him?
Tell us. We need to know to report him missing.
(The Motto of a Company)
Mi Jin.
Where were you?
I was working.
Why bring you here at this hour?
You get off work soon. I came to pick you up.
I'll pack up then.
Okay.
Did you visit your family today?
No.
I see. Did your mother or grandmother call you?
No.
Why do you ask? Is something going on?
Just because.
I went over there before lunch with my mother, you see.
What for?
Mother asked to see me.
I told her I'm being treated for infertility.
I asked to see if they called to ask you about it.
Sorry.
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
Jeong Hoon?
Yes, Mother.
Why did you call?
Is it your mother? I'll take the call.
Mother, it's me.
- Mi Jin? - Yes.
Did I upset you this morning?
I'm focused on my treatment and will become pregnant soon.
Don't worry, Mother.
Can you put Jeong Hoon on?
Jeong Hoon and I will go out for dinner then go home.
I'll visit you again soon. Goodbye.
Why did you hang up? She called me for a reason.
I think she was just worried about my treatment.
Let's go, Jeong Hoon. Are you ready?
Let's have dinner together. Okay?
You weren't even able to talk to him?
She said they're going out to dinner.
I didn't feel like asking her to put him on again.
Should I call again?
No.
Let's find Min Su first.
We must find him before Jeong Hoon and Soon Young find out.
- Right? - You stay at home.
Everyone's looking. I'll go out and check.
Min Su.
What should we do? Where are you?
Where are you?
- Any news? - Hi.
We told the police about a missing baby.
We should wait and see.
I'm sure someone took him. Did anyone see him?
We asked everyone we met but no one knows.
Mom.
Oh, dear.
Bok Shil and Jeong Woo, take your mom inside.
- Okay. Let's go inside, Mom. - Okay.
- Thank you, Mr. Kim. - Sure.
- You two as well. - No problem.
- Take your mom inside. - Okay.
Who do you think took him?
I wouldn't be so frustrated if I knew.
We should go inside ourselves.
- Is something wrong? - Hey.
Why are you all out here at this hour?
Jeong Tae, Min Su's gone.
- What? - What do you mean he's gone?
What do you mean?
I'll tell you all inside.
- Oh, dear. - What happened?
Choon Ja, tell me exactly what happened.
Someone took him.
Who'd do that?
We don't know. That's the problem.
Your grandmother left him alone to buy something.
He was gone when she got back.
Do you think his mom took him?
Bok Shil went to check, but he wasn't there.
They didn't even know Min Su was gone.
Then who took him? No one else could have.
- Jeong Tae. - What happened?
How did a baby go missing?
- Does Jeong Hoon know? - Not yet.
Mom called him but couldn't say because Mi Jin was there.
You should've still told him.
We wanted to find him first.
How did you lose a baby?
Where are you going?
To look for him.
Where will you go when it's time for the curfew?
Darn it!
- Mom. - Min Su.
Grandma wants to go out and look for him.
Grandma, it's soon time for the curfew.
Oh, dear, Min Su.
- Where did that baby get to? - Grandma.
Why did you go out and leave him alone?
Anything could've happened to him!
I guess I'm losing my mind. I'm going senile.
Why did you keep him for so long?
This wouldn't have happened if you gave him back!
Jeong Tae.
Do you know, Jeong Hoon?
That your family knows that...
Mi Jin's being treated for infertility?
Yes.
They found out?
Jeong Hoon's mom asked to see Mi Jin,
so I went over with her.
I thought Jeong Hoon had told them and...
And you let your tongue slip?
I thought Jeong Hoon had told them.
Why you...
Do you know what the old woman said?
As soon as she heard Mi Jin was infertile,
she said we should register the baby as Jeong Hoon's son.
She said that if Mi Jin can't have children,
it's only right that she adopts a child to carry his name.
That won't happen, Mom. Don't worry.
When I said I'd make sure you divorced if that happened,
you heard what the old woman said.
She said we can do as we want.
I said that won't happen. Jeong Hoon won't leave me.
Right, Jeong Hoon?
Why won't you answer?
Do you agree with your grandmother?
- No. - Are you sure?
You won't register your illegitimate child...
and make Mi Jin raise him, will you?
Promise.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon's family would say that.
The elderly will do anything to ensure their name is carried on.
You keep quiet.
Don't throw oil on a fire.
Talk to your mother and grandmother.
Mi Jin has less of a chance of getting pregnant.
It's not that she's completely infertile, okay?
Okay.
Tell them to send the baby back to its mom.
How much longer must you stress Mi Jin out over that?
Why are you staring at that?
Did they find Min Su?
If they can't, all the blame will fall on me.
Should I go over there?
I think something's off.
What do you mean?
Bok Shil left this yesterday.
What's so strange about that?
Why would she bring this when Min Su's still there?
And why leave it behind?
She must've bought it for him.
You'll get him back soon, so she dropped them off.
I can't wait.
I need to go over there and see him.
Why would you want to go over there?
Ms. Hong said she'd send him back when you recover.
Wait until she does.
I had a strange dream last night.
I need to check if Min Su's okay.
Then I'll go instead.
I'll ask when they'll give him back...
and I'll make sure they're taking good care of him.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Mr. Han, come and see me.
Okay.
Come in.
I'm meeting people from the Office of Cultural Properties at the site.
Come with me.
I'll go on my own.
Why?
- You don't know yet? - About what?
No one called you?
No. Is something wrong?
What is it?
Jeong Tae.
- Is something wrong? - Yes.
- You didn't tell him yet? - No.
Tell me what?
What is it?
Min Su's missing.
What?
Min Su's not at home. He disappeared.
What do you mean?
What do you mean he disappeared?
(Through the Waves)
Tell me how this happened.
Did you really not go back there?
I only got a picket watch.
That baby won't cause us any more problems.
You won't know,
but I deserve to get Lucky Entertainment.
- It wasn't you? - What?
- Didn't you give up on Se Ra? - I can't.
Why aren't you even surprised?
A woman was carrying a crying baby.
Hey.
- You didn't take him? - Let's stop it.
I'm barely putting up with the fact that you're doubting on me.
