(It's My Life)
What does your father do?
He passed away not long ago.
What did he do before he passed away?
He was a fisherman.
A fisherman?
Which university did you graduate from?
I graduated from Cheongyoon University with a fashion major.
Is there a university like that?
What's going on?
Did you call us out to introduce her to us?
I talked to her, but she didn't understand.
I invited her, so she can see the difference between her and us.
What? Are you offended?
No, I'm not.
Let's just continue our discussion.
We, Hyunkang, will give away unsold clothes.
What about you?
We'll give away our products including handbags and shoes...
as always.
And my daughter-in-law said she'll donate land for building...
a multicultural family welfare center.
Oh, my. Really?
Not long ago, my daughter-in-law received...
shares and land from her father.
She gave us part of the land to build our company's factory.
And she wants to donate the rest.
She's from a good family and highly educated.
And she's a good wife too.
I don't know about anything else, but she has a great daughter-in-law.
I'm flattered.
Jin Ah.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Go ask the restaurant owner...
if they have any painkillers, will you?
Shall I go out and buy it for you?
You don't even have a car. Will you walk?
By the time you're back. the restaurant will be closed.
I understand.
Cheers.
I might have to move out.
What do you mean you'll move out?
I'm three months behind on my rent.
And my landlady caught me renting a room out to Jin Ah.
She'll be waiting for me in front of my house again. What do I do?
Then will Jin Ah be kicked out too?
Are you worried about only Jin Ah?
Even if she gets kicked out, Mr. Choi will help her out.
But what about me?
If I get kicked out, I'll be living on the street.
If you get kicked out, come to my place.
Your place?
Well, it's a small place, but it's enough for the two of us.
The two of us?
Why does it sound so cheesy suddenly?
Cheesy? Why?
I don't need to stay at your place.
But if you...
If you have some money,
could you please lend me 3,000 dollars?
I'll write a promissory note.
3,000 dollars?
Shall I ask my dad?
No.
You're going to register our marriage behind my back.
No. I won't do that again. I'm serious.
Seon Gyu, why are you here at this hour?
Well... Actually...
Can I stay at your house for just a few days?
My house...
I'm afraid you can't.
Yeon Ji is going to stay at my house.
She is?
Oh, are you two dating?
We're not together.
(Landlady)
Who is it?
My landlord.
Gosh. I don't know what to do.
Will you really let your son marry a girl like her?
Of course, I won't.
Si Woo is out of her league.
Then why are you letting him dating her?
Si Woo likes her.
Have I ever not bought him a toy he wanted?
What? A toy?
You never cease to amaze me.
She's like a low quality, old-fashioned,
and ugly toy.
So Si Woo will get tired of her sooner or later.
I'll wait until then.
Who could ever beat you?
My goodness. I had no idea.
I'll put you in sheer misery.
Can you endure that?
Have I ever not bought him a toy he wanted?
You're wearing such thin clothes for this weather. You must be cold.
You'll freeze to death if you only care about your looks.
Ma'am, can I...
use your phone?
- My phone? - Yes.
I lost my bag.
I see. Sure.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
He has 15 previous convictions?
Yes.
I...
didn't mean to tell you this because it's embarrassing.
But how could I have let him be around Nam Jin?
That's why you didn't tell Nam Jin.
That's right.
He promised he would never show up in front of Nam Jin,
and I gave him my lodge money in return. That was seven years ago.
I don't know what he did, but he called me to say he was in prison...
Was it the year before last?
What crime did he commit?
It wasn't a heinous crime, right?
What do you mean by a heinous crime?
Murder or rape?
No way. I don't think so.
He is not that evil.
In fact, a crime is a crime.
I can't say one is better than the other. However...
He left a bar without paying.
He fought with others because he got upset.
He shoplifted at a store. I bet he did something like those.
Gosh. He's a petty criminal.
However, Ms. Yang,
he found out that Nam Jin is the late chairman's grandson.
Even if you find a place for him, will he leave this house?
That concerns me.
You have a point. I bet he wants a big chunk of money.
If it doesn't work, we'll have to make him leave of his own will.
(Incoming call)
Hello?
Nam Jin, it's me, Jin Ah.
Jin Ah?
What's wrong with your voice?
And what's this number?
I lost my bag and phone.
The only phone number I remembered...
was yours.
You lost your bag and phone?
Where are you now?
- Shall I tell Mr. Choi to go there? - No.
Don't tell him anything.
Okay. I'll be there soon.
What was that about? Was it Jin Ah again?
Why did she call you when she lost her bag and phone?
She could've called Si Woo.
She asked me not to tell him.
Obviously, they had a fight.
When a couple starts dating,
they fight a lot to get the upper hand.
I mean, why would she drag you...
into her fight with her boyfriend?
I'll be back soon.
Gosh. Seriously.
Jin Ah.
What happened?
Why are you sitting out here?
I'm sorry. I lost my bag.
Let's go. I'll drive you home.
No. I can't go home.
What do you mean?
I have a situation.
Is there any place where I can stay for a few days?
I just want to sleep.
I see. Let's leave here for now.
You'll get sick if you stay here any longer.
Get up.
I'm so full. It's hard to even breathe, Yeon Sil.
Me too. Every dish was so good.
I think I gained 2kg.
You should gain some weight.
You're too skinny now.
I'm not skinny. I gained so much belly fat,
so I'm thinking of getting treatment.
You don't need anything like that.
I like you just as you are now.
Anyway, I'm so grateful towards Seung Joo.
She gave us a hotel buffet gift card, so we could go on a date.
I thought she was aloof, but she's actually attentive and warmhearted.
I told you...
that Nam Jin is very lucky.
But I must say, I'm really surprised.
I thought Seung Joo would like guys...
who are stylish and sophisticated like Mr. Choi.
I'm surprised she's dating Mr. Ahn.
I am a little surprised myself,
but what can I do? She likes him.
Let's just see what happens.
Let's go, Jin Ah.
My gosh, isn't he Mr. Ahn Nam Jin?
What the... That jerk!
My goodness, what's going on?
Where's Seung Joo? Why is he at a hotel with another woman?
Gosh, don't.
Why stop me?
I must teach that jerk a lesson.
Are you going to beat him up again?
Please don't do that, Man Seok.
You're scaring me.
I told you he's not good for Seung Joo.
I was trying to be fond of him because Seung Joo kept pestering me,
but it's not like he's going to change.
Here, drink this. It'll warm you up.
Thanks.
What on earth happened?
I want to move back home.
Why? What about your job, then?
Did something happen between you and Si Woo?
I'm going to end it.
We're not right for each other anyway.
What are you talking about?
I just don't enjoy living in Seoul anymore.
In fact, it makes me sick to my stomach.
That's why I want to leave.
That's all.
Just get some rest. Don't think about anything.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Will you...
come with me?
Never mind. I was just kidding. Don't mind me.
It's odd.
Back in the day, I was waiting for you to tell me that.
I thought I could drop everything...
and leave with you if you told me you wanted to move back to Oepo.
But I can no longer do that.
I've met so many people here.
People who care about me, trust me,
and love me.
Pat on the back.
- I can't let those people down. - We got this!
Instead, I can promise you this.
I'll be there for you whenever you need my help.
As a friend.
I'm sorry I brought it up.
I'll be off, then.
What?
You saw Nam Jin going into a hotel with a woman?
Yes, you fool.
I was so angry that I almost slapped him in the face.
I managed to hold myself back only because Yeon Sil stopped me.
No way.
You must've mistaken someone else for him, Dad.
Yeon Sil saw him too.
I'm sure... There must've been a reason.
Whether that was the case or not, just end it here.
I absolutely can't approve of him.
You see, philanderers will always cheat.
(Mr. Ahn Nam Jin)
I keep getting a busy signal.
I'm in front of your place now. Can you come out for a minute?
I'm already in bed.
I don't think I can see you today. Sorry.
It's all right. I'm sorry I came by so late unannounced.
I'll see you at work tomorrow.
My love, Joan of Arc.
Is it still not over yet?
Why isn't she calling?
Yes.
Oh, Mom.
Jin Ah is extremely rude.
What? Did something happen?
She left saying she was going to the restroom and took off.
She didn't even take her phone and purse.
Why? What happened?
Nothing happened.
In the middle of talking about the bazaar,
she said she was going to the restroom and just left.
Do you know how long I waited for her?
It was such an important meeting. How dare she humiliate me?
She must've had a reason.
I'll ask her tomorrow.
Give her a good talking to.
I can't be fond of her no matter how hard I try.
Get some rest, Mom.
(Ms. Seo Yeon Ji)
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
after the tone.
Additional charges may apply.
- Ms. Seo. - Oh, Mr. Choi.
Is Jin Ah home?
She didn't come home last night.
She didn't come home?
My landlord found out that I've been renting a room to her,
so I told her not to come home for the time being.
What?
- My goodness, I slept so well. - Gosh!
How dare you barge in here?
I told you to never come in here. Did you not hear me?
Well, everyone's gone to work.
Where's my breakfast, wifey?
Ms. Heo. I'm sorry, but could you fix this man some breakfast?
It seems like your temper...
has gotten worse while I was gone.
I've made it clear to you...
that you must prepare your husband's meals yourself, haven't I?
What's up? Why are you giving me the evil eye?
Breakfast is ready.
Come on. Since I'm eating alone, you must keep me company.
My, this is delicious.
By the way, did Nam Jin have breakfast before he left?
Don't even utter his name.
What? I can't even say...
my son's name?
What's the matter with you?
How will you support yourself from now on?
Well... I don't have...
any specific plans yet, but soon...
Nam Jin wants you to meet him in front of his office building.
What? Me?
Does he want to buy me new clothes or something?
Or... He probably wants to give me money to start a business.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Name, Bang Cheol Sang. Age, 57.
Assault, theft,
dine and dash, malicious mischief, fraud, and so on.
He has 15 previous convictions.
He served 18 years in prison in total.
He has 15 previous convictions.
That's unbelievable.
Did you find anything at the hospital where Nam Jin was born?
Nothing. There was no CCTV at the time, so I couldn't check.
- You have his photo, right? - Yes.
Show his photo to all the hospital staff you can reach...
- and keep looking into it. - Yes, sir.
Keep up the good work.
Come in.
Hi. Have a seat.
I asked you to see me because I have something to tell you.
I see. Please go ahead, Mr. Heo.
I heard that Ms. Yang's ex-husband is staying at your house.
That's right. I was going to tell you that.
What are you going to do?
Since my mom is stressed out,
I'll find a place for him to stay.
If you want, you can call the police...
and have him arrested for breaking and entering.
And of course, you can get a restraining order as well.
I don't want to do that.
- Pardon? - After all, he took me in.
He made it possible for me to live as my mom's son.
He might keep demanding...
you and your mother for money and bother the two of you.
Will you be okay?
If he needs money, he should get a job.
He shouldn't live like that forever.
Right.
Let me know if you need my help.
Hey. Mr. Ahn, our sample arrived,
but it was sewn incorrectly, so we sent it back to fix it.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Then when will we get the fixed sample?
It will arrive by tonight.
That means we'll have to work late again.
I'm sorry, everyone.
Please keep up the good work just a little longer.
If Ms. Han Mi Ra has decided to stand on the other team's show,
shouldn't we hire a model before it's too late?
You're right.
We have to hire a model as famous as Ms. Han...
even if it costs us a lot.
It will increase our sales too.
How about Actress Ko Soo Yeon?
She's very popular these days as a mom with a lot of kids.
Right. If Ms. Ko and her daughter wear matching clothes,
it will draw a lot of attention.
What do you think, Seung Joo?
Seung Joo.
Is something wrong?
- I need to talk to you, Mr. Ahn. - What?
Seung Joo, go easy on him.
He's weaker than he seems.
Will he have discipline training again?
Did Mr. Ahn do something wrong?
A man gets scolded even for opening his eyes.
So Mr. Koo, just listen to her...
- and do as she says. - Pardon?
What has gotten into Jin Ah?
Yeon Ji, will Jin Ah be absent from work today?
Pardon?
Well...
Jin Ah called in sick today.
- Ms. Kim, please report it. - Yes, sir.
The revised sample will arrive this afternoon, right?
Yes.
Call me when the revised samples arrive.
Okay.
Hi, Chae Yoon. It's Si Woo.
Can I talk to you briefly?
Yes. What is it?
You went to the meeting yesterday, didn't you?
Did something happen there, by any chance?
Yesterday?
No. Nothing happened.
Tell me honestly.
I need to know what happened, so I can resolve it.
Si Woo, listen.
I've been a member of Seowoon Group family for three years.
People like us never speak what we hear...
or what we know.
I don't want to cause trouble by telling you anything.
She's the woman I love.
I should know what happened to her.
Please, Chae Yoon.
Nothing happened.
But I think she realized...
she didn't belong there...
through our conversation.
Did my mom put her in a difficult position?
No. But,
I could tell that your mother...
will never approve of Jin Ah.
You must be mistaken.
Then why would she have invited Jin Ah?
Didn't she introduce Jin Ah to them as her future daughter-in-law?
I'll make sure this won't cause you any harm.
So please tell me.
What on earth happened?
She said Jin Ah didn't understand what she said,
so she invited Jin Ah to see the difference between them.
Jin Ah is like a low-quality, old-fashioned, ugly toy,
so you will get tired of her soon.
She said she will wait until then.
I think she ran out of there because she couldn't...
bear the humiliation.
I see. Thank you.
What's wrong, Seung Joo?
Are you angry at me?
How could you do that?
What did I do?
I heard you went to a hotel with another woman.
Jin Ah lost her phone and bag,
so I drove her to a hotel.
But how did you know?
My dad saw you.
Sorry?
Why is that a problem...
Did he get a wrong idea about me and Jin Ah?
Until when will you act like that?
What do you mean?
Until when will you run to Jin Ah whenever she calls you?
Can't you...
leave Jin Ah in your memory?
I'm the one whom you love now.
(It's My Life)
What if someone sees me going in and out a motel?
I told you not to keep in touch with Seon Gyu.
Jin Ah, open the door and talk to me.
Please go back, Mr. Choi.
I have nothing more to say to you.
Like I said, I'm Ahn Nam Jin's father.
- Do you want me to call him? - Nam Jin.
- Someone is here to see you. - Do you? Gosh.
