Minja Shin?
They kept in touch?
It's me. Why didn't you answer my calls?
Are you going to leave Sowon and VP Kang like that!
Why don't you answer me? Hello?
What's wrong with the phone?
When did you come?
All came. Since we'll have guests, our house will be better, right?
Are you sick?
Mom.
You know... VP Shin...
What about Dawon's mother-in-law?
No, nothing. Nothing.
-Yes. -Are you busy?
-Why? Did Dawon upset you again? -You only worry about Dawon?
Did something happen to Sowon?
Jinhee's mother called her out and treated her like some cheap girl.
What?
She insulted her so much that it made me shudder from across the room.
I heard she lives in the States.
She came to Korea to set the wedding date with Ihyun.
Set the wedding date?
She's trying to push her son to marry Ihyun to make him the CEO.
You turned your own daughter into Cinderella but just ignore Sowon?
When it'll be hard to make Jinhee your son-in-law even if you ran on your feet!
VP Shin is... Minja Shin?
Then who is that woman?
<DNA matches between Minja Shin and Sowon Han.>
I even did the DNA test. But VP Shin is my mother?
Hello?
How much do you have now? Can you give that to me now?
Where are you?
What about money? Did you bring money?
Before that. Give me a couple of your hair strands.
Hair strands? Whatever for?
You're not my mom. Whose hair was that?
What?
Shoot.
I wanted get more money out of you. You caught up on me?
Why call me out if you weren't going to give me money?
Dang it. Shoot.
Did you meet my biological mom?
I didn't even see her shadow.
I guess a rich woman's trying to hide her past using me in her place.
Why bother to find her? Just get money out of her and leave to study abroad.
That's better for you. Wake up and smell the rose.
You found me after 30 years.
How could you make me believe another woman is my mom? How...
-Go have dinner at your home. -Sorry?
I heard Sowon's making a steak with Korean beef today.
Did Sukhyun call?
He's coming to pick you up so go and enjoy the steak.
Can I?
-You don't want to? -No, I want to go but...
I'll tell Haeran so get ready before Sukhyun comes.
Thank you, Grandma.
-What's that stray cat look? -I was...
Hi, Sukhyun.
Go have dinner at Dawon's place today.
Sowon wanted us to taste the steak she made with Boggin Farm beef.
No. I don't have to go.
I'll finish preparing dinner. Please go change, Mother.
You can go if Grandmother said yes. Go.
Excuse me, Mother.
-Go on. -Okay.
Can I really go?
Of course.
But I haven't finished the report I have to submit by tomorrow.
Go by myself?
Yes. Have our baby taste the best quality Korean beef.
Give me the list of the restaurants that get Boggin Farm beef.
Everyone left for home.
You have analysis chart on Angelica Utilis Makino?
Go home after sending that to me.
Sowon said she'll let us taste the steak made with that farm beef.
Shouldn't you go too?
You have to taste it to write a report.
It's a fraud to compliment that farm without even tasting it.
What?
It's true. You have to evaluate and write a report after trying it.
Just reading the materials isn't right.
I wasn't invited. You taste it and tell me about it.
Let's just go. You got the beef together with Sowon.
Did Sowon invite Jinhee too?
-My son invited him. -Invite him? Who gives you the right?
Sowon and Jinhee have to get a contract from this farm.
Since we can't buy it anywhere, he brought him to taste it.
Why isn't Sowon coming?
She made a big deal out of this beef party but we're starving.
I know. I can't even stay long.
I can't find her. She's not answering calls either.
Where did she go after buying all those ingredients?
You know how much we looked for you?
What are you doing here when others are waiting?
What's wrong?
You knew about it, didn't you?
I thought it was your illusion.
How could she be my mom?
-I can't believe it. -Sowon.
Does she know that you know?
She does.
But VP Shin is...
She doesn't want me to know? Is that why she told you not to tell me?
-She needs some time. -What time? How much more?
Why does she need time when she found me in 30 years?
Can't you just ignore her? Someday, she'll tell you.
How she must hate me to even come up with a fake mom...
...to get rid of me from her life.
Abandon me over and over again. How miserable does she want me to be?
Calm down. Don't get hurt by her.
Why doesn't she want to tell me?
If she doesn't want her past to be revealed, why can't she just tell me?
When she found me after 30 years, how could she pretend not to know?
You look great in that, Mother. You look 10 years younger.
Thank you. You're the only one who cares for me.
Are those all Grandmother's?
Grandmother doesn't go shopping because of headache.
Haeran. Did you buy dried prunes?
Oh, I did buy it. I must've left it in the car.
Go bring it then. I'll give it to Dawon when she comes.
Was it for Dawon?
I heard it's excellent for pregnant women's constipation.
I should do that much for her. I should call a yoga teacher for her tomorrow.
I heard moderate exercise good for the mother and the baby.
Oh, that reminds me. Whose baby photo was that at your office?
Why did you get so upset over it as if it was your lover's photo?
Lover's photo?
Gee... That's a bad joke.
Mother. Not a lover. It's a baby's 100-day photo.
A mother from a single mother's facility sent me her baby's photo.
-Then why did you get so upset over it? -I didn't get upset.
Were you mad about saying not to look through my things?
Why would you if she wasn't in her office?
I didn't look through her things.
Mother, I'll go find dried prunes. I know I bought it.
What if your mother-in-law scolds you again?
-Did you hear about it too? -My mom worries about you a lot.
But I met a great guy like Sukhyun.
Do you have to brag in front a guy who used to chase after you?
-Then who else would I do it to? -Fine. Here.
Fight your mother-in-law with your hubby then.
Thanks for the ride. Drive safely.
-What a wretched little thing. -Mother.
Are you nuts? Drag your ex-boyfriend to our house?
What are you talking about? He's just a friend.
Friend? You still don't know what you've done wrong?
No, I don't. What have I done wrong?
You think you can still fool around with bums from your past?
If you married into a great family, you have to try to fit in.
You treat my advice as some dog barking.
And tell everyone about your hard life with us. Now a man on top?
A man? I said it's not like that, Mother.
Just pick that up and give it to Grandmother. It's yours anyway.
If you dare to blabber about this, I'll show you what hell is at this house.
I feel like fainting.
Six group orders and sold out tomorrow's order. We'll be millionaires.
I'll die before then. If I lie down now, it'd be fainting.
-Where are you going? -To sleep in your room.
Your room is there but here.
Why?
What do you mean why? We're strangers now.
We didn't even marry yet so how could we sleep in a same room?
But your mother said yes. Won't that do it?
Even if we don't have a wedding, we have to go through a procedure.
What procedure?
We'll greet our elders first.
Then register for a marriage at a clerk's office. And then take wedding photos.
-Wedding photos? -Yes.
Do whatever you want. I have to lie down now.
Wait. Not there.
Over here. Let's go.
No, I don't wan to.
Good night, Myunghee.
Yes, Mother. Don't worry about Jinhee. Just take care of yourself.
I hope you feel better tomorrow. Good night, Mother.
I heard you sided with Sowon in front of Mrs. Kang.
Shouldn't you reconsider your marriage? She was really good at torturing people.
Not as good as you. She's an angel compared to what you do to Dawon.
I'm saying this for you. Keep it in mind.
Why don't you take off your mask and be honest?
Would you have done the same if I was your real daughter?
Would you push another woman to a man I love to become the CEO?
Want me to be honest?
If anything comes in my way of becoming the CEO,
I'd even abandon my own daughter.
Keep that in mind, Ihyun.
It's true. She could abandon her own daughter.
Are you saying you can abandon a stepdaughter anytime?
You have no right to say anything when you're trying to marry a woman...
...you don't even love for the CEO seat.
I told you before. I will challenge you with my own ability.
Your own ability? His mother's dying to set the wedding date.
But her son's talking as if it's none of his business. You must be confused.
Let's eat this.
You're hot with fever.
Leave me alone.
What did Jinhee's mother do to you to make you so sick?
What?
VP Shin was worried after seeing you with Jinhee's mother.
Why isn't fever going away with the medicine? Shouldn't you go to hospital?
This leaf mustard kimchi is so good. I ordered salted fish roe for next year.
Shouldn't we buy kimchi from her too?
My mom made this too. She said you need to eat calcium food.
My. She knows my taste so well.
It's not easy for dried anchovies to taste like this.
We should go to her house often to get side dishes.
You could get side dishes but don't hop into a man's car.
A man's car?
Dukgyuu's car. He took me home since you didn't come.
You should've called Chauffeur Kim.
I was going to grab a taxi but Dukgyuu insisted to take me.
Who's Dukgyuu?
VP Kang's subordinate.
You could get into a big trouble if you live like before.
There are many eyes. Better watch it.
I have to teach her everything.
Myunghee. Have breakfast.
Sit over here.
-Good morning. -Morning, Ms. Jo.
What in the? Did you two sleep together again?
Mom. Didn't you see her coming out of that room?
We'll use a separate room until we register our marriage.
Why bother? You'll get married.
But what on earth is this?
Register for a marriage quickly then. What would other people say?
I'm going into action from today. So please eat, everyone.
Please eat.
Uh? Did you fry eggs? I like scrambled eggs with veggies.
You do? I'll make scrambled eggs tomorrow with mushroom too.
Okay.
Wait!
Don't even come near kitchen after you register marriage, Gyunwoo.
Then what about meals? You'll cook?
Why'd I when I'll have my daughter-in-law?
-Me? I cook breakfast? -Then who'll cook?
Myunghee never even cooked ramen in her life.
Then she will from now on. Cook and clean too.
Shouldn't you do all the housework if you marry into this family?
Oh, yes. I will. Don't worry about housework, Mother.
Of course.
You sure you can do it?
Yeah right. She'll hire a housekeeper.
How did you know?
What? Hire a housekeeper in this tiny house?
How about I cook? In return, rent discount perhaps?
Well, you sure were good at frying chickens.
I thought you were moving out. You'll stay here?
Why? Will you kick me out?
-Well, not exactly but... -Mom, let's do that.
I'll work hard. Really, really hard.
I'll go check our menu analysis.
-Okay, work hard. -Yes.
Sowon. Go back to Boggin Farm today.
Okay.
Are you sick? You don't look well.
I'm impressed. Our boss cares for my sis-in-law... I mean, Sowon.
I told you I don't want your excessive attention.
VP Kang.
You were here?
I felt stuffy in the office.
A half-brother who doesn't know anything across my desk.
A VP who feigns ignorance when she's my mother.
If I knew, I wouldn't have come back to CE.
You can transfer when a position becomes available.
Don't give up your future for a woman like her.
When you went through so much before you got this job back.
She kicked me out with a false charge. Why did she reinstate me?
Should I answer that?
If I marry VP Kang, my grandmother will make him the CEO.
She's using you to pull us apart.
She sent you instead of Manager Park to Boggin Park as a tactic.
Is that true?
-Are you sure? -I confirmed it with Manager Park.
Yes, this is Sowon.
I...
I was too upset yesterday.
My son rebuked me for being such an unsophisticated mother.
I have no intention to go back to Jinhee.
Is that true? I was worried you might depend on your in-law's backing.
In-law? You mean VP Shin?
She's using you to become the CEO.
Since CE Group will belong to Jinhee if he marries Ihyun.
I'll never be used by her so don't worry about it.
-Can I trust you on that? -Yes.
Why did you break up with Jinhee?
It's better that you don't know.
If he doesn't give up on me, I'll come up with a reason to make him give up.
You'll come in place of Sowon?
Yes. She asked me to go since she wasn't confident.
Sowon. Aren't you going to Boggin Farm?
-Manager Park went in my place. -I told you to go.
I'm just a rookie so I've asked experienced Manager Park.
I'll go deliver Manager Park's menu analysis chart.
Sowon.
Go to Boggin Farm with VP Kang.
I don't want to.
What?
I don't want go since I don't want to be used by you.
No, I won't.
Seems Sowon's mom is going to tell Jinhee about what you did.
Jinhee went to meet Sowon's mom?
Get some good photos of Dawon and Dukgyuu together.
Let's help them. I won't see Sowon lose Jinhee.
I can't give up on you.
I should do something as Ms. In-law suggested.
You mean Minija Shin?
