(Episode 26)
This is Pink Lady.
It looks pretty, but it's quite strong.
Drink slowly.
Oh, this is a Margarita.
This is a pretty romantic cocktail too.
The creator...
named it after the woman that he loved.
- This is... - Will you shut up?
This is driving me crazy.
Nothing is going my way.
Everything got more complicated.
I just saw what happened at the department store.
Are things not going great with your parents?
This is all because of Han Woo Jung.
What?
What did she do?
You like me, don't you?
Of course, I do.
Then please help me.
What can I do?
I hate Han Woo Jung. And I despite Han Joo Won.
Can you...
get them out of my life?
What do you mean?
You want me to get them out of your life?
I need someone to be completely on my side.
Jae Bin, can you do that for me?
I can't believe we ran into them like that.
What if they really do get divorced?
It's between them. It's none of our business.
Anyway, Mom. I really don't understand.
We just ran into him by coincidence.
Why is Hwa Kyung's mom so sensitive over that?
Everything that happened was like today, right?
Most of the events were nothing but a misunderstanding.
Hwa Kyung will think things between her parents got worse...
because of you and me again.
Did you have dinner, Chairman Oh?
Why are you here?
I told you to come to the court tomorrow.
What does this mean?
Why are you kneeling down?
I am apologizing wholeheartedly to you in front of Chairman Oh.
An apology? For what?
For seeing Han Joo Won at the villa behind your back.
For causing a misunderstanding because of that.
For hiding my history with Han Joo Won.
And for asking you to divorce me against my wish.
Did you lie?
I'm sorry, Chairman Oh.
Why did you do that?
Why did you ask me for a divorce you didn't want?
I thought that was the only way to win your heart back.
I thought that's the only way I could get back.
You dared to get my heart back with a lie?
Yes. I wasn't thinking right. I'm sorry.
Dad, get up. You can sit and talk.
You can go inside. This is between us adults.
Mom, please forgive him.
How can you let him do this in front of his daughter?
Grandpa, please stop her. Please.
Hwa Kyung, go upstairs!
This isn't a place for you.
Is this what it's like to protect my things?
Do I have to go down as low as Dad did?
Is that the only way I can survive?
Why do these coincidences keep taking a wrong turn?
Chairman Oh, I am sorry. Please do not be angry.
I told you, didn't I?
If Yeon Hee doesn't want to see you anymore, I don't either.
You two can figure this out.
Honey, forgive me.
You're lying.
- What? - You're still lying...
to stop me from divorcing you.
Honey.
You of all people just kneeled down.
Forgive you? Do you expect me to believe this?
What more can I do?
Yes.
Like you asked, I went on my knees.
What more must I do?
What more must you do?
Stay like that for days on end.
Who knows?
I might forgive you out of pity.
If that's what you want, I'll do it.
Were you on a date?
Yes.
Is Ms. Han okay?
She has a lot on her mind.
She won't leave her room.
I came out because I felt frustrated.
Why do you look downcast?
Let's have a beer at our place.
I'll call Do Bin.
Why are women so complicated?
You were happy about the date.
I think she likes me but I also think she's using me.
I don't get it.
You've fallen for her hard.
I'd love to know who she is.
Woo Jung, why are you out so late?
Do you have a concern?
It's about Ms. Han.
I was really surprised at the department store.
The department store?
Woo Jung and Ms. Han went to one to check out a few brands.
We met President Shin there, purely by chance.
But then, also purely by chance,
we met Vice Chairman Oh and Hwa Kyung too.
They'll have gotten the wrong idea again.
You know too?
That Hwa Kyung's family...
thinks that my mom and President Shin are dating.
I don't know much.
I only overheard Ms. Han's call with President Shin.
I'm her daughter and I was the last to find out.
That's because she wanted to...
keep it from you in case you got hurt or upset.
I know that. But I still feel upset.
It's mostly a misunderstanding...
and I was there when some things happened,
but I still think my mom's hiding something from me.
I'm still doubtful in a way.
There's something I do whenever I start to have doubts.
What is it?
Just trust the person. Completely and wholeheartedly.
That's not easy.
It's a problem because we can't do that.
I know. I'm struggling too.
I haven't shown my complete trust to Woo Jung either.
So I apologized.
I'll give that complete trust a go.
Then the other person will do their best to not let me down.
Cheers.
Mom, stop it now.
Stop what?
Let Dad come back.
He's putting on a show.
A show?
Who cares?
What?
What's important is that he gave into you first.
You won.
You won't be under his control anymore.
You can take the upper hand.
I don't care about being in control.
The problem is that I don't trust your dad anymore.
Mom.
Will you stop it, Hwa Kyung?
Nothing will change for you even if I divorce him.
You and I will live in comfort and happiness...
We won't be happy.
If you divorce Dad.
I thought you didn't like him much.
Sometimes, I even thought...
you considered him as a rival vying for your grandfather's favor.
That was just me being jealous because you loved him more than me.
And I wanted Grandpa to acknowledge me.
Mom. I need Dad as well.
I'm tired. I want to sleep.
Drink this.
Will you kneel here all night?
If I must.
Mom thinks you're putting on a show.
A show?
Then I'll show her a real show.
How low will you go?
Do you want to see how far I'll go...
or are you afraid of how far you might have to go?
I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to persuade Mom.
Think harder.
How you and I can coexist.
Can you stay in?
Yes. I just have to get there an hour before the show airs.
Woo Cheol has to get ready for school.
- I'll help you. - No. I can do it alone.
Will it be okay?
He wants to do something. Let's cheer him on.
I think we owe Jae Hee.
What?
I suddenly remembered what someone said.
"Trust always wavers. We're just human."
"There are times when I don't trust myself."
"But each time I doubt, there's only one option."
"To trust wholeheartedly."
Why would you say something like that?
Mom.
Even if I waver, I hope you understand.
And don't be upset if I don't believe you sometimes.
I'll promise you one thing.
I will try to trust you wholeheartedly.
Thank you.
I think Hwa Kyung's family is struggling because...
they don't trust each other enough.
I want to help them get over the misunderstanding.
But I'm afraid I'll only make things worse.
Did you say...
you'll appear on a special episode today?
Yes, Grandpa.
That's right, I forgot.
Be confident and do your thing. I'll be cheering for you.
You two are really impressive.
How can you eat as if nothing's wrong?
You asked me...
how I could eat when my dad's gone.
What about you? How can you eat as if everything's in order?
It's between them and I'll leave it to them.
It'll only look bad if this old man gets involved.
This is delicious.
Mom.
You said it felt like the skies had caved in when Dad left.
Don't you feel anything anymore?
Do you want my life to become a mess?
Have something to eat. Do you want to starve?
Dad.
Leave me alone.
Stop trying to be a daughter...
and try really hard to find another way.
Focus on the broadcast for now.
(Ms. Lee)
Hi, Ms. Lee.
Do you think it'll be all right?
Why are you so worried?
The timing is really bad. Our program might end up...
just like "Escaping Unemployment".
Not only did the producer get replaced,
but the host and writers were replaced as well.
Do you want to stop?
What do you mean?
Kang Yeong Ji's mother, Go Soon Deok, asked us...
to not air her interview on the program?
Yes. She just called me.
- I'll talk to her myself. - No.
I called her again, but she turned off her phone.
That's weird.
I checked many times if she was okay with being on TV.
We talked on the phone last night too.
My gosh, this is insane.
How can she bail on us on the day of the episode?
Let's edit the script.
We need to make another 15-minute video for Kang Yeong Ji.
- Okay. - Ms. Lee.
Make sure you let Mr. Choi know after you edit the script.
Sure.
Stop pretending like you're my real daughter.
Go find another way. And work very hard.
Mr. Min? You need to help my dad.
What can I do?
Yes.
All right.
(Shin Hwa Kyung)
Yes, Hwa Kyung.
What? An accident?
Are you hurt?
I'm not injured.
My chest feels a bit stiff, but I think I'm just in shock.
I'm sure everything is fine.
I can make it to the shooting if I take a taxi right now.
The program is important,
but your condition is more important than that.
You should go get checked at a hospital.
Car accidents can have worse aftereffects.
What if I don't make it there in time?
I'll find a way around it if that happens.
So get to a hospital first, okay?
Mr. Yoon.
(Producer Yoon Do Bin)
Hey, it's me, Mr. Yoon.
What? What are you talking about?
The interviewee bailed on us, and the reporter got in a car accident?
Okay. I'll be right there. I'll talk to you there.
What happened, Ms. Han? Did something happen to Hwa Kyung?
She got into a minor car accident.
It's an emergency. I have to go. See you later.
(Shin Hwa Kyung)
Hwa Kyung, how badly are you hurt?
We can't help it.
Han Woo Jung is the best choice we have.
She is always late though.
I'm the host. How can she be a reporter?
We have no other choice.
We were going to choose a reporter between...
Shin Hwa Kyung, Han Woo Jung, and Go Eun Sung anyway.
I guess she's our only resort.
Then call her. We'll have to see if she's okay with it.
Yes.
What are you doing?
Are you okay? You're fine, right?
Goodness, I was so shocked.
I'm relieved now. I almost had a heart attack.
Stop overreacting. I'm fine.
Did you see a doctor?
What did the doctor say? Are you all right?
I don't have any injury.
But when I said I was dizzy, they told me to get a CT scan.
You're dizzy?
Let's go do the CT scan, okay?
I'm fine. I don't have time for that.
I have to be at the TV station.
Nonsense. The TV station?
What if you have brain hemorrhage?
No. Never.
Who do you think you are?
Who am I? I'm your only guy friend.
Who else can take care of you?
Let's go. Please.
You want me to be the reporter on the special episode?
What about Hwa Kyung?
She can't be on the show because of a minor car accident.
- Is she badly hurt? - No, she's not.
That's why we need a reporter in Hwa Kyung's place.
And you were chosen as our alternative.
It's up to you now.
Your opinion is what matters now.
I'll do it.
(Reception)
(Ms. Lee)
Ms. Lee.
What happened with airing Ms. Go's interview?
It's all wrapped up. We're deleting her interview.
We're editing the script too.
Good.
Then there's no problem with staging the episode, right?
Yes, we didn't do anything to begin with.
We weren't trying to bring in a fake mom.
It's just as you wanted.
What about the program?
You only have minutes left. Did you find another reporter?
- Should I come over... - We found an alternative.
- Who? - Han Woo Jung.
Woo Jung?
Thank you.
My gosh.
How can it be her again?
You want me to sit around and watch her get complimented?
Ms. Go? Hello. It's me.
Announcer Shin Hwa Kyung, who was there with Ms. Lee.
I know that you talked to Ms. Lee...
and that you decided to not be on the show.
But...
I need your help.
I'll pay you as much as you want.
Hwa Kyung.
Why are you here?
Then I'll trust you to it.
Did you get registered?
Let's go do the CT scan.
Is President Shin still knelt down?
Yes.
And he didn't eat or drink anything at all?
Yes.
What do you plan to do, sir?
What do you mean?
If Yeon Hee wants a divorce, she will get one.
- What about the company? - Why?
Do you think Miseong would collapse without him?
That's not what I'm saying,
but things will get complicated at Miseong Apparel without him.
Just go do your job!
I'm sorry, Chairman Oh.
Here's your chicken soup. Enjoy.
That was a huge sigh. Why? Does your back hurt again?
I guess you did carry a lot of chicken soup today.
Honey, do you have any money in your pocket?
Money? How much?
About 30 dollars? Or 100 dollars?
Or even more? Like 3,000 dollars?
More like 30,000 dollars.
Why do you need such a huge amount of money?
Did your private fund fail? Or did you get conned?
I'm not you. I don't get conned.
The landlord wants more key money.
Again? And 30,000 dollars?
Do you have anyone to talk to?
I don't. You already know that.
Having no friends is nothing to be proud about.
You'll live off me for your entire life.
You don't even have much.
Gosh, it's exactly 30,000 dollars.
Key money or investment. That's the problem.
What? You want to be an owner without making an investment?
That makes no sense. This isn't charity.
Look. Once I come into work,
all the ladies will flock in thanks to my looks and wits.
The investment isn't a problem.
I told you to be independent, not a leech.
You can't be a president without an investment.
Forget about it.
Don't be so nasty. I'm in a tough spot.
My wife's having a hard time with our restaurant's deposit.
Your wife always complains, but she's very capable.
Don't try to do something for her right now.
Plan long-term, make a fortune,
and make up for your married life.
That's a real man.
Don't be nervous.
Are you ready?
I'll give it a go.
Where's Kang Yeong Ji?
She'll be here soon.
We'll rehearse when she arrives,
so don't be too nervous.
You'll do great.
Trust me.
Mr. Yoon, we have another emergency.
Kang Yeong Ji's mom, Go Soon Deok, is in the lobby.
The number you have dialed...
What's going on?
Go Soon Deok said she wouldn't come on TV.
What did you do, Hwa Kyung?
(Shin Hwa Kyung)
(Ms. Lee)
(Power off)
Thanks for today.
You were a huge comfort.
Was I really?
Please don't get hurt. Don't get sick either.
We can't change the script now.
The woman's so indecisive. What if she ruins a live show?
What should we do?
Weren't we originally going to play her taped interview?
Yes.
Then it would be great if she can appear live.
It's too risky.
Ms. Lee, why are you so furious?
Shouldn't you be pleased?
The show will be way more touching.
We should let her in.
We can play her taped interview,
and I'll see what questions I can make up.
Will you help?
Okay. We'll have both Kang Yeong Ji and Go Soon Deok on the show.
Mom, are you asleep?
You were in an accident?
Are you really okay?
I just need to rest.
I was scared. I thought it was serious.
Sorry for making things worse when you're already stressed out.
I'm just grateful that you weren't hurt.
Mom. I want to ask you something.
If Dad were to die, would you still not mind?
What?
Do you hate Dad that much?
Starving for one day won't kill him.
I said if.
If your dad were to die...
I don't know. I never thought of it.
Then think about it. I read about it somewhere.
If you hate someone a lot,
imagine a world in which that person doesn't exist.
If you don't mind if that person doesn't exist, then it's hatred.
If the world without that person is too horrible to imagine,
then you still love him or her.
I don't know.
Why should I think about something that hasn't happened?
You're right. Then think about it later.
But come outside with me instead.
Let's get some air and eat something nice.
Forget about Dad for now.
I'm in a bad mood myself. I lost my chance to debut.
Okay.
Let's go outside.
What is it?
Very well. I'll tell him.
What is it?
- President Shin. - Yes, sir.
Go to the closed ward right now.
Pardon? Why so suddenly?
Mr. Seo disappeared. Go find him right away.
Wait here, Mom. I'll get the car.
Okay.
Did you decide to stop begging?
- Talk later. Something urgent... - To you,
there's always something more urgent than me.
(Secret and Lies)
- What? - Thank you.
And I'm sorry.
Someone must've helped him.
How could you do such a slobby job?
Find out who that was.
We must find him before the chairman does.
Well done. I hope everyone keeps quiet.
Woo Jung, are you sick?
What's wrong with me?
- Woo Jung. - Woo Jung.
