Did you do a DNA test on Sowon?
Look. How could you make up such a ridiculous story?
What are you doing here, Jinhee?
I had to ask something about Sowon to VP Shin.
VP Shin. Was that test done on Sowon?
Test?
It has to do with Sowon's life. Please tell me the truth.
What is he saying, Haeran?
Mother, Sowon found her biological mother.
Yes, didn't we talk about that?
I wanted to do a DNA test for her with her biological mom.
Seems VP Kang got the wrong idea.
Yes, she should do the DNA test to verify for sure.
-Wrong idea, you say? -Yes. Wrong idea.
Then I'd have to meet someone who'd verify that for me.
I should've gone to her first before coming here.
I'm sorry to bother you. I'll be going then, Ms. Chair.
I wish you can stay.
I'll go see him to the door, Mother.
VP Kang.
What do you think you're doing?
How could you do that in front of an elder with a personal matter?
You escaped the moment but I saw your shaken eyes earlier.
I'll ask Ms. Lee directly with Sowon. We'll find out if I'm right or wrong.
I covered it up until now. Jeongsook can't possibly...
What does she want again?
Is Sowon my daughter?
VP Kang will go see you to ask if Sowon is my daughter.
You said she's not my daughter before, right?
I'll ask you again.
Sowon Han. Is she my daughter?
No. That's absurd.
Then tell VP Kang. Not to ruin my life with a ridiculous accusation.
-Jeongsook. -How did Jinhee find out?
What about?
He asked Minja if Sowon was my daughter.
What?
He'll come see me now. What do I tell him?
<Minja Shin born in 1962 in Yongwol. She owns a restaurant in vicinity.>
Sowon thinks she's her mom.
Yes, Ms. Shin.
Where are you now? We have to meet.
What is it? Problem with your father's company again?
Why would you worry about that? I wanted to see you because...
-What is it? -Can you trust me and do as I say?
-If you can, I'll tell you. -Why are you so serious?
It could hurt you but I need to check something.
Alright. I'll do as you say. What is it?
It's about VP Shin.
-What about her? -She...
I can't stop thinking she might be your biological mother.
Is it because of that name, Minja Shin? Mother misunderstood though.
I know it makes no sense. That's why we should go check with Mother now.
Mother stopped me when I was searching for your mom.
-She said she'd tell me when it's time. -Mom said that?
Are you saying my mom's in contact with my biological mother?
I think it might be VP Shin.
You said this yourself before. That they seem to know each other.
No way. It's impossible.
Sowon.
-Was VP Kang here? -No, not yet.
He didn't call?
No.
What did he tell you?
In front of Mother...
He said Sowon might be my daughter. The horror...
I won't leave him alone when he comes here.
Are you busy?
Why?
Stay until he comes. I have something to tell you two.
You do?
Yes. I think it's time.
Time? What time?
Wait a little. Let's talk when Jinhee comes here.
Why are you so tense? You really think she might be my mom?
I can't shake off the feeling that VP Shin is hiding that fact.
Impossible. How could any mom ignore a daughter she hasn't seen in 30 years?
-There can be no such a mom. -I know. I hope she's not.
Wait.
Hello?
Sowon Han?
I'm Minja Shin.
What in the...
Wel...
My goodness. You came here last time, right?
My goodness. How can this be?
Wait. Come have a seat.
My goodness. I can't believe this. My gosh.
Why didn't you tell me about yourself?
How did you know her number?
Of course I heard it from the detective agency.
How many years has it been?
I'm sorry. So sorry.
How is Jeongsook? I've never met her after I left you to her.
I heard your father, Joonshik Han, passed away.
Is your father's name Joonshik Han?
Yes.
And this. I think you're my daughter but we should check.
Take this for a DNA test. Then it'll be for sure.
Don't tell Jeongsook that you met me. It's better that we don't see each other.
Can you promise?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I guess I got the wrong idea while trying to figure out why she's so nasty to you.
But how could you think that?
We'll have to do the DNA test but if she's your mom...
-You should come see her often. -Yes but I'll take time with it though.
-Were you an actress before? -It was my wish.
If I was an actress, I wouldn't be rotting here selling alcohol.
Give me.
Let me see.
Call me when they come see you again.
Lucky me. I wish she comes here often.
How did it go?
I did as you told me. I gave her your hair too.
Good.
You sure he's coming? He's not calling or coming.
Maybe I should call him.
-Hey, I have to go. -What do you think you're doing?
You shook me up real good and you're leaving now? How rude of you.
What did you want to tell VP Kang?
You could just tell him Sowon's not my daughter.
Why do I have to stay?
I'm always stressed out by Dawon too. So don't get so upset.
Don't add to my stress.
You have the trial date?
Mind your own business. That has to do with me and Sowon.
I told you it also concerns me and Jinhee.
You have to win that case for my sake too.
To win, you have to use exposure tactic.
Exposure?
I have no intention to do that.
What do you mean?
Even if I win using that tactic, it doesn't mean anything to me.
My purpose is winning back Sowon's heart, not winning the trial.
If you're not ready to wage a war, I can't pay for your trial.
Pay for my trial?
It's... She said she'd pay for the lawsuit.
What?
Since it's also a fight for her, she's paying for the attorney and the trial.
Why would she pay for my lawsuit? What is wrong with you?
You and Mom... How low do you guys want me to go?
You lost Sowon and money too.
You want to know what being miserable really means?
Your family's already suffering. You don't have to waste money.
-It was a long day. -I'm sorry. I made you tired.
It's okay. I did get to check who my real mom is.
Give that hair to me. I'll do the DNA test.
She already knows about my father and Mom. It's not necessary.
But she wants to do it. Give me your toothbrush or hair strand by Monday.
Okay. Keep it a secret to my mom. Okay?
Okay. Go get some rest.
Good night.
-What smell is this? -Doesn't pine mushroom smell good?
These are pine mushrooms? My mom and my sister love these.
We get a lot of these sets as gifts around this time.
We have hard time using all of them.
-Can I take one then? -Sure.
Good morning, Ihyun.
-What's that? -It's pine mushroom gift.
Why are you taking that to your room?
My mom and my sister love these.
-Did you ask Grandmother and Mother? -No.
Ihyun.
On top of being a spy, you even steal now?
Steal?
No wonder gifts were disappearing these days. You little rat.
You're rude, Ihyun.
What?
Our housekeeper said we can't even eat all these.
So I took one. Is that so bad?
You must've been busy taking things for your poor family.
What else did you steal? Did you give them money too?
I have no money to give them but they'd never accept it anyways.
Sowon didn't budge a bit even when you gave her $200k before.
So don't insult me and my family calling us names. We have pride too.
Pride? You stuck to Sukhyun using pregnancy as an excuse!
Dawon. What's going on?
Even if things rot at our house, don't ever give anything to your family. Got it?
Ihyun!
What's this?
We should return $50k to Hyunwoo.
Can I?
I felt uneasy about receiving that money knowing their situation.
And I'm bothered that it's VP Shin's money.
Let's move out when their financial situation gets better.
Even if they sued you, we shouldn't accept it now.
Thank you.
-I came. -Welcome.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
You kept yourself busy since morning. It's a feast.
We'll do the birthday cake in the evening.
Okay.
Let's meet at the roof garden at CE restaurant in the evening.
Mom, cook for a change. How long are you gonna stay out of the kitchen?
Don't even dream of making me cook. Instead, get married.
-Then say yes to Myunghee. -Not like she's gonna cook.
You sound awful. She's not a housekeeper, Mom.
What are all these?
Oh my, what are these?
-It's Jinhee's birthday today. -I won't eat then.
This.
Mother paid our security deposit but I don't want it since it's VP Shin's money.
Hyunwoo got furious about that.
But we didn't have any way to return her money.
Mom told me to return this to you so don't worry about us.
Thank you for helping us in midst of a trial.
I don't want Hyunwoo to suffer.
VP Shin waited for you till late yesterday.
Pardon?
I heard you asked if she was Sowon's biological mom.
I'm sure you had a reason to ask that.
Did you have some clue?
No, I made a mistake.
I'll apologize to VP Shin.
Sorry to make you worry.
-Did you give it to them? -Yes.
Yes.
What? You said they confirmed.
Why are they doing this after being silent?
Let's meet and talk. I'll go over there.
Why? Did something happen?
Problem came up at Mikwang Bank. I'm sorry but I have to leave.
Thank you.
-Mikwang Bank? -What's going on?
Didn't Ihyun pressure Mikwang Bank before about our loan?
She couldn't have this time.
But she said I'd regret later...
It was you, wasn't it? You stopped Mikwang Bank's investment, right?
And if it is.
Are you determined to ruin Jinhee's father's company?
That's what I want to say to you. You're gonna bankrupt his company?
You think Jinhee would let you escape when he finds this out?
You found out last time but you can't catch me this time.
VP Kang can never find out I was behind this.
I can just tell him. That it was all your work.
You better wake up and smell the rose.
The only person that can fund the investment in two days is just me.
So you better let me love him and get out of our sight.
Love? Is it a love to put his father's company at risk to own CE Group?
I don't want this either. But I can't watch him marry you and ruin his life.
If you're not ready to sell your soul for him, just drop out of it.
He doesn't even want you. So why would you sell your soul for him?
That's not love but only an obsession and greed.
If you really love him, you're the one who should let him go.
If he finds out what you did behind his back, he won't even talk to you.
I'll see how long you can babble like that.
It's the day after tomorrow.
If he can't get the money by then, his father's company will shut down.
How does your mother know about the name Minja Shin? Did you tell her?
You think I'd shut my mouth for that money you threw?
You got the money but you still are demanding, huh?
Why is it so difficult to accept her as your daughter?
Not like you're telling it to the world. Just tell Sowon...
Why would you care about her?
You two are strangers now. Sowon is Jinhee Kang's woman now.
Why do you care if her mother is me or someone else?
Stop standing on your pride and accept money when you need it the most.
Who is Jinhee Kang's woman?Sowon is my wife.
What do you know to say that trash!
Gyunwoo, tell her to get out.
You accepted my money so you have an obligation to do what I tell you.
If you wanted to protect your pride, you shouldn't have accepted my money.
Get out!
It's $50k.
We'll return the rest as soon as possible. So get out.
Happy birthday.
Blow the candles.
Aren't you going to ask what I wished for?
Didn't you pray for an investment?
I wished your birthday wish to come true.
Could we still be together when we're old and grey?
You'll run away then?
If you do, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth.
Oh, isn't there more to this party?
I have a big expectation.
Hello?
Are you with Hyunwoo now?
With Hyunwoo? What are you saying?
Hyunwoo disappeared from the hospital.
Disappeared?
How did he get out of the hospital? I'm sure someone helped him.
You could lose your baby...
Use your pregnancy to protect yourself, is that it?
Jinhee, you wait. I'll help you at the most crucial moment.
I won't leave you two alone if something happens to Hyunwoo.
What if he doesn't come back?
