Is what you're going to tell me... The reason why Sowon left me?
Then I must hear it.
-Mother... -No more.
You did what you had to.
I'll tell him everything.
So please go back, okay?
What was it? What was the reason you left me?
Your mother.
My mother? You said you had other reason.
I didn't want you to blame your mother.
I received calls like you saw at the farm many times.
Your parents will never approve of me as their daughter-in-law.
I didn't think I'd be happy after making you turn away from your parents.
That's why I gave up. Is it clear now?
Then Sowon's mom really went to meet Jinhee?
What do I do? If Jinhee finds out... I'm...
What did you do to be so nervous?
I was too careless. I didn't know you were torn apart because of my mother.
I don't hate your mother.
I'm sorry but can't you reconsider for me?
I've given it a lot of thoughts. I thank your mother for helping me decide.
You must know what Dowon's going through. You live in the same house.
I won't stand being hated by people that should bless us.
What is it again?
You scared me when you disappeared without a word again.
Dawon waited for you for hours and just left.
Dawon was here?
She wanted to have donkatsu so Dukgyuu took her.
-Hi, Sowon. -Hi.
Did you tell him?
I asked you if you told him.
I said I left him because of his mother.
-What? -Mom, it's true.
I can't live like Dawon, going through turmoil because of her in-laws.
-You and Dawon aren't the same. -My situation is worse than her.
Ihyun has a great family, education and ability too.
Why would his parents accept me when they have Ihyun?
You have Jinhee.
I just want to live in peace.
I don't want you to watch both daughters having hard times with in-laws.
Did you stop your mother?
Jinhee doesn't know about it, does he?
Don't bother me. Just go check it yourself.
Did you tell him or not? Just answer that!
-Mrs. Kang. -Yes.
What about this?
It's nice. You have a great fashion sense, Ms. Chair.
Why isn't Ihyun showing up?
I've texted both VP Kang and Ihyun to meet in front of the entrance.
Sukhyun. What do you think?
-Try it. It has to be comfortable. -You think?
I think it's raining.
When did you come back?
I got a great hiking jacket as a gift.
If we knew rain would stop, we should've gone ahead with hiking.
Mother.
What did you do to her?
What are you talking about?
How harsh did you treat her that she left me because of you?
What?
I can't live without her. Can't you just accept her?
Even if I do, your father won't. He shut his heart knowing she was once in jail.
Mother, that's...
What are you doing?
Mother, please help us. She said she won't marry if our parents disapprove.
Please persuade Father for me. I can't live without her. So please...
You're kneeling down over a woman... You're so...
Mother.
Once was enough for a marriage you decided.
Listen to us this time before you regret later.
You sure you won't regret later?
What?
You sure you won't regret about making us break up?
No. I'll never regret pulling her away from you.
Why would I when we have Ihyun?
Jinhee. Hey.
Jinhee...
She gave up because of a couple of harsh texts?
Did she use that excuse to make him give up?
Ihyun.
Seems Jinhee's really mad. What is it?
He found out why Sowon left him.
Why did she?
Because of a mean mother-in-law like me.
Pardon?
-That doesn't make any sense. -I don't think that's the real reason.
In any case, Jinhee won't chase after her anymore. It's good enough.
That place's donkatsu tasted great.
You must eat lots of fancy food. That place's food can't be good.
You know I'm from a small neighborhood restaurant.
Do your in-lows look down on you because of your background?
Yes, a lot. I don't want to go home.
Men imagine only one thing when women say that.
Dukgyuu, you want my punch, don't you?
Oh no!
-On no. Your clothes are wet. -My mother-in-law will scold me again.
Does she harass you a lot?
She might be watching me right now. Like this...
I feel like a bird in a cage. So suffocating.
Why do you get off so far away? I can take you to your house.
It's okay. She might make a big fuss again if she sees me.
Thanks for the ride.
Yes, Mr. Kang.
Came back already?
We came up with that plan to let you two enjoy.
-Mother. Why did you do that? -What why?
I'm saying it's okay. Do what you can to go back to him.
We really broke up. So please don't do anything like that again.
If snobby Ihyun leeches onto him, I'll pull out all her hair. So just grab onto him.
You should never lose him to that snob. If you do, I won't see you anymore.
You drink at this kind of a place?
Why? I can't?
Drink up.
There's a rumor that you and VP Song are getting married.
It's a false rumor, right?
Hyunwoo just passed away and...
It doesn't make sense since I know how much you love Sowon.
What do you think is a marriage?
I thought all I needed was love but I changed my mind the past few days.
Past few days? Why?
I think it's true that a marriage is between families.
I just took Dawon home and she didn't even smile...
...being weighed down by her in-laws.
Families should also be compatible if couples were to last.
I didn't expect you'd talk like that.
-What happened? -He got drunk at a street cart.
Move. I'll do it.
-Why are you standing there? Get out. -Yes.
Yes, Kang.
I couldn't ask for more if kids can marry and we form a new company.
Yes, let's talk again. Good night.
Mother. A new company?
We're discussing merging our food business with Genies.
Why all so suddenly?
It's obvious. Both companies can grow that way.
Merge two companies and pursue Ihyun and VP Kang's marriage?
It's too early to pursue when their marriage isn't even decided yet.
It'll be great if they marry.
But even without it, it's a good business venture.
Mrs. Kang said Sowon completely got over Jinhee.
So we'll see if Jinhee will give Ihyun a chance.
Grandmother changed her mind. VP Kang might end up marrying Ihyun.
Don't be ridiculous. I won't let them.
If Sowon can hold on to VP Kang, they'll never get married.
But Sowon has no intention to hold on to VP Kang.
You and Dawon should go persuade Sowon.
-Me? -Yes.
Sowon's a sister-in-law and Ihyun's my sister.
It's weird to side with Sowon when Ihyun's head over heels for VP Kang.
If Ihyun's a half-sister, Sowon's...
Sowon's what?
Just do as I say. I have my reason.
I don't want to do it. I think Sowon made a wise decision.
-Dawon. Just please... -I'm sure she made a difficult decision.
Look at us. Everybody opposed but we overcame with love. Why not Sowon?
Does getting married solve all the problems? Do I look like I'm happy?
What? Then you're not happy?
A marriage with in-law's disapproval should end with me.
Sowon doesn't have to live like me.
Mrs. Kang loves Ihyun. I don't want Sowon to come between and get hurt.
-No wonder you guys weren't leaving. -Knock, Mom.
You've done nothing after you got married...
Can't you just tell your sister to marry a guy who'd make her rich?
What's the use of your mouth? Just eat food and talk back at your mother-in-law?
-Stop. We're going! -You know how things are now?
Either Sukhyun and I live as owners of CE. Or live as an extra all our lives.
So you better go change Sowon's mind right now.
Mom.
If you don't, don't even come back here. Got that?
I don't want my sister to end up like me. This is terrible.
You got up already? I made ginseng tea for your hangover.
Thank you. Can you sit down?
I was completely rejected by Sowon.
You were?
But I'd never think of marrying you.
I respect Sowon's decision. But it won't be easy for me to accept another woman.
So please disregard my parent's hasty desire.
I'll wait. I don't care how long it takes.
It took me five years to get over my ex-wife.
I hope you don't waste your time.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Sowon's house.
I thought you decided to respect her decision.
I have something to do in regards to Boggin Farm.
Please give me an honest opinion of the taste.
Is this that expensive Korean beef you mentioned?
Actually, that $500 beef became $50 in my freezer.
I made this with most expensive beef in our neighborhood meat shop.
See if it tastes good with Angelica Utilis Makino.
Angelica what?
How is it, Mother? Is it good with Angelica Utilis Makino?
It's crunchy and it's perfect for my taste.
Really?
Why aren't you eating?
How can you cook now?
I'm going to win the contest with this recipe.
By winning the contest, I'll study abroad and get recognized at work.
Then I'll be a great daughter to you. Trust me.
What if you become a granny working like that? You should grab Jinhee.
Oh. Welcome.
What are you doing here on a weekend?
Did you ask mothers to taste the steak?
How is it? You like it?
Yes. Good.
You came to help her with the contest?
Yes. This is all I could do for her.
First tasting is done.
Let's try a second one with Angelica Utilis Makino from another region.
We have to send our upgraded recipe to Boggin Farm by tomorrow. Let's hurry.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
Ji. You're not working here again, are you?
Shouldn't you rather look for a security job maybe?
Well... Oh, Ms. Jo's pretty late. I haven't seen her here.
She went back to her home. She'll come back after we register the marriage.
-She'll move in right after? -Yes. Why?
She can't do that. Not like you guys had an affair.
She can't move in without preparing anything.
What else when we're not having a wedding?
Don't you know? She has to treat her like her mother-in-law.
What? Mother-in-law?
Don't you know anything when you'll be a groom soon?
A wedding gift...
Huh?
Mom. Are you really saying that for a gift?
Yes, she is. Right?
I don't want to burden her but if she insists. I won't say no.
What? You want a gift or not?
I'll be happy if she DOES give me a gift!
Do you have things ready for the marriage?
-No, not yet. -No. She can never marry him.
The discussion is over. You're so persistent.
Aunt...
I know how you feel but you know what happened to her ex you liked.
If they got divorced after 3 months, it means they weren't compatible.
-Gyunwoo out of all men, Grandmother. -I believe he's a decent man.
If your aunt loves him, what could we say?
-I'm more worried about you. -Grandmother.
I called you all here to discuss the situation.
It'll be a matter of time before Ms. Chair partners with Genies.
Genies' owner is VP Kang's father. Then is VP Kang the big shot now?
Of course. If CE merges with Genies, they'll replace all the executives.
Then a new face will kick out us old execs.
-Didn't VP Song mention anything? -VP Song? Why?
I met Mikwang Bank's chief a few days ago.
When Genies was in financial crisis...
It seems VP Song cooked up something with Mikwang Bank.
What do you mean she cooked up something?
-Oh. You came to eat? -Yes.
With executives on Sunday. You all had a secret meeting?
You're the one who always does sneaky things behind Grandmother's back.
What do you mean? Sneaky?
Sowon's loan before and it seems you'll get caught on Genies investment too.
I wonder what Mrs. Kang would think if she finds out...
...you blocked Mikwang Bank's investment.
Mikwang Bank?
How is it?
Earlier one was from Shinan and this one's from Kwanghwado.
Does it taste different?
Not sure. I think it's not the material but the cooking method.
Right? Since the herb has sodium in it, we should shorten boiling time.
You two look great together.
Gosh. What are you doing here at this hour?
We were sent on a special mission for you.
For me?
My mother asked us to make sure things sparkle between you two.
She's even using you guys?
Thanks for the cheer but we're just working partners.
What did you need to discuss?
I have to leave because of Sukhyun and Sowon you sent.
Did you know Ihyun stopped Mikwang Bank from investing...
...in VP Kang's father's company?
-So? -So? You really don't know?
If VP Kang's parents find out Ihyun stopped the investment...
...purposely, she's totally out.
I already knew about that.
Then you turned blind eyes for her? Why?
Ihyun's even used the bank to get Jinhee but you didn't do anything about it?
Are you a fool?
I'm not like you and your daughter.
What?
You and Ihyun would do anything to get what you want. But I'm different.
So don't talk as if you're providing some great tip.
Rather than being thankful. I'm disgusted...
What's wrong with Sowon?
I'm trying my best to bring Jinhee back to her. But why doesn't she get it?
Hyunwoo's dead now.
She could change her life if she gets VP Kang so why is she hesitant?
She's not like you. She's different from you.
Yeah, she knows nothing of the real world.
If she stands on her pride when she knows nothing...
She'll end up in your small restaurant for the rest of her life.
If you labored her all your life, do something for my Sowon.
My Sowon?
You... You act like such a hypocrite...
So it was slip of the tongue...
You wicked viper.
What's the matter with you?
How long are you going to hide?
When you know everything, how long will you deceive her!
I know about what?
Sowon... She knows who you are.
As you know she's your daughter, she also knows you're Minja Shin.
She... She knows...who I am?
She knows I'm her mom. She knew but she pretended like she didn't know?
-What the hell were you doing? -Are you doubting me?
My father is Dawon's father and my mother is Sukhyun's mother.
You two look alike.
This was in Mr. Ji's possession? How?
Will you tell everything to my mother-in-law?
