I prepared Chinese quince tea to chase cold for our guests.
But... Why did you call them on a weekend?
What's that, Mother?
A gift for Boggin Farm's owner.
Oh, you called them for that. You could've asked me.
I'm sorry but I have to go somewhere urgently.
-Mother, where are you going? -You don't have to know.
Mother.
Oh my. Mother.
You don't look well and you have cold. Mother, I'll take you.
I think it's because of that call.
Yes. I think she found out the name, Minja Shin.
-She never ate this before. -I guess it's morning sickness thing.
She suddenly craved for this when she rarely ate anything.
Eat slowly, Dawon.
Is something wrong, Dawon?
I guess Ihyun and Mother teamed up to harass me.
She called my baby a little bugger because I craved for this.
And then made me a bad daughter-in-law in front of Grandma.
I don't care what she says to me.
But how could she say that to my unborn child? I can't stand it!
You didn't have to say that. She'll be worried.
Then who do I tell it to?
Haeran's name was Minja Shin? Then she wrote this adoption paper?
Have a seat.
You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?
-No, Ms. Chair. -We confirmed she changed her name.
Now find out where this girl, Ji-in Han, lives.
Go visit Youngwol at this address if necessary.
Find out every little detail about Minja Shin.
Yes, Ms. Chair.
Haeran had a daughter. Can't be...
If she deceived me for over 30 years...
Hey.
Do you know who Ms. Chair spoke with earlier?
No.
I don't think it was a good call. I wonder what's going on.
There's no secret in this world.
No matter how you try to hide it, it's bound to come out.
Don't ever incubate a secret again in the future.
Don't incubate a secret? What do you mean? Did you tell Ms. Chair about...
-Did you meet Dawon? -Yes.
Goodbye. And please reconsider your decision on the judge panel.
If a world-famous Julian becomes the judge, it'll help our contest reputation.
If you reject him for personal reasons,
you'll have to take the responsibility for your decision.
I wonder if Sowon said something to Mother while I'm not here.
I wonder how much Ms. Chair knows.
-Why? Are you worried? -Worried? Why would I?
You look very concerned since you left Ms. Chair's house.
You're worried VP Shin might get stuck in the mire.
-No, I don't care what happens to her. -You can be honest to me.
You're worried a lot about her. I mean, you love her in your own way.
You could tell Ms. Chair about her past but you let VP Shin take the long route.
Until she realizes her wrongs and repent.
I'm just upset and sad.
What? She did what when Dawon will have a baby soon?
I've asked Sukhyun to come to discuss this.
I don't know what to do about Dawon.
She let them get married because of Ms. Chair's decision.
But maybe she's trying to make them divorce to hide her secret.
Perhaps. She amazingly kept it in dark until now.
She has no parents or siblings.
Most folks back in hometown who'd know her died too.
She even changed her name so it'd be impossible for Ms. Chair to find out.
She wasn't such a vicious mean girl before.
True. She lost her parents overnight from a car accident.
Lived off of relatives, got kicked out and used by her aunt and uncle.
She had such a pitiful life.
If someone cared for her, she might not have ended up like that.
She's pitiful but I don't agree.
You and your mother were so good to her. But she returned evil for good.
When she said she'd revenge the world looking at her palm lines.
She was like 10 or 11.
What are you talking about? Did you tell the website admin to change the judge?
We'd have to accept Julian this time.
No way. Did Grandmother mention something about it?
No, because of Myunghee's mother-in-law.
What about that ignorant woman?
She asked me to take VP Kang out of the judge panel.
If not, she'd tell everyone at CE Group what Sukhyun did to her son.
How ironic.
You used her to break my engagement but now she's out to ruin you.
Will I be the only one? If I'm ruined, you will go down with me.
How could we prevent him from participating in the contest?
If we let them, it's like giving him an upper hand in the CEO seat.
You have any good idea?
I should come up with one.
Did you say VP Kang recommended Chef Julian?
Ms. Chair appreciated you for providing your beef.
She didn't have to. It's not like beef was for free.
Did your husband go somewhere?
Yes, he went to his friend's botanical garden.
He may look like he only raises cow but he loves trees, plants and such.
He got this from there.
I've never tasted this tea. It's sweet. As if honey mixed into green tea.
-I think it's stevia. -What's stevia?
A natural sweetener herb.
Natural sweetener? Can I use this instead of sugar then?
I wonder how it'd taste with Angelica Utilis Makino.
An interesting dish that doesn't need salt or sugar.
Where can I get this, Grandma?
Here.
This is how it looks like.
It's really sweet.
You want make healing food with this, ha?
Won't it be nice to extract sweet and salty taste from natural herbs?
-I think so. But it won't be easy. -That's why it's worth trying.
True.
-We should buy one of this. -Yes.
I carried this around for a few days.
Your neck looks too empty.
Don't ever return this to me.
Even if you begged, I wouldn't.
Mother stopped Dawon from registering our marriage?
You didn't know about it?
I think you're misunderstanding.
Mother was going to register it for us but she forgot.
She told me herself.
She said she'd make you two separate before registering marriage.
I would tell you two to register marriage and live happily.
But I'm not sure if it's a right thing to do for Dawon and her child now.
Mother.
If you turn yourself in, you'll go to jail.
What will you do about Dawon and her child then?
How could they live without you with your mother who won't even...
...let you register marriage?
-I'll persuade my mother. So please... -I didn't call you here today to hear that.
Dawon will have her baby without her husband.
Come up with a plan for them while you're gone.
If you got no plan, send Dawon back to us. It's my request.
Sukhyun.
Is it true my mom didn't let you register our marriage?
How did you find out?
It's true then?
What if it is? Let's go upstairs.
Where are you going? Let's go!
Why is it so noisy?
Mom. Why are you doing this to Dawon? She's my wife who has my baby!
Why are you dying to kick her out when you should be thanking her!
-What's wrong with you, Sukhyun? -Are you nuts?
How dare you yell at me when your grandmother's home?
Even if you stop me, I'll register our marriage tomorrow.
So don't you even think about making us separate!
We'll never separate.
-What on earth am I hearing? -Mother.
You two still haven't registered marriage?
Haeran's trying to make you two separate?
No, Mother. Dawon miscommunicated something to him so he's upset.
Mom, just stop!
Sukhyun, let's go upstairs. I'm sorry, Grandma.
If you don't want me to go back to being a troublemaker, leave us alone!
What is going on? You can't even embrace your own kids.
Not a day passes by peacefully.
I told you it won't help me.
Even if Mother doesn't want us to, we can just register our marriage. So childish.
Because I feel so bad to you. I'm so ashamed to you and Mother.
You're ashamed? Then live a proud life from now on.
Our baby keeps kicking. Maybe sending a message to us.
Please just think of our child. Our child needs a mom and a dad.
Dawon.
I told you. Let's not waver and let's just walk our path.
Let's register our marriage tomorrow and ask the attorney...
...what'd happen after you turn yourself in.
If you cannot be there when I deliver our baby...
We have no choice then. I'll just deliver our baby and go meet you.
So stop confronting Mother. We have lots to do and a long way to go.
Let's not waste our emotions and time on it.
I'll be good to you.
I'll live a proud life for you and our baby. I promise, Dawon.
Sukhyun, baby's kicking me again.
If I just accepted it, we could've lived Kangnam style.
What are you talking about all of sudden?
Since Sowon had to enter the contest alone,
I made sure Minja Shin fix the situation.
Fix the situation? How?
That woman offered an apartment in Kangnam in return...
...for covering up her son's crime.
What? That vicious viper. What did you tell her?
Of course I rejected her offer outright. And I demanded this from her.
I said I'll wait one month until her son turns himself in.
But in return, she'd have to make Sowon enter the contest with Mr. Kang.
What! You rejected an apartment in Kangnam without discussing it with me?
Why? Was I wrong?
-No. You did a great job. -Gosh.
You're finally growing up, Mom.
Here. Here. Have a lot of this.
Enough.
Live a long, long life, Mother.
Gee. I thought you'd get mad at me for rejecting that.
But you know what she said?
What were you talking about? Why so quiet all of sudden?
It's nothing. I was going to go right after finishing ramen.
Why are you changing the subject? Something's fishy.
No, it's not. You shouldn't leave your restaurant empty.
An owner has to be there even if there's an employee.
True. But I was too hungry.
When Sowon worked at Dawon Restaurant,
she skipped lunch and even dinner to save time. But how could you be so...
Mom!
What?
Sowon, Sowon... You always compare me to her. Even eating...
Aren't you too much, Mother?
Dear...
What did I say?
Why don't you earn money like Ms. In-law?
What? What are you saying? Asking your old mom to earn money?
See? You feel upset when I compare you to Ms. In-law, right?
Comparing makes even friends into enemies.
Stop comparing Sowon to my wife.
What I said is true though.
What I said about you and Ms. In-law is true too. Darn!
It's a waste to raise a son.
Mom.
-You're back? -Is something wrong?
No, nothing.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
What?
Ms. Chair found out about the name Minja Shin.
What? How? How did she find out?
Not sure but she found out VP Shin changed her name.
Then she'll soon find out you're her daughter. What do we do?
We can't tell the truth after all this time.
What would Ms. Chair do if she finds out about VP Shin's past?
Could she forgive her?
Seeing Minja being so desperate to keep it a secret,
I don't think she'd forgive that kind of a past.
-Here. Empty my trash can. -Yes.
Missus.
Wait.
Here it is.
Can I empty it now?
Yes. Sure. Wait.
Throw it away.
Yes... Everything's over.
What on earth? She even digs the trash can?
Does it mean the girl on the adoption paper is really her daughter?
No... It can't be.
-Have you waited long? -We'll be late.
Oh no. I overslept while making a salad using stevia and Angelica Utilis Makino.
If VP Shin accepts Julian, you can just upgrade that recipe.
-And I can write the report. -Let's go. We're late.
Why don't we meet up soon?
What for? Say what you have to say right here.
You better brace yourself before you meet me.
Let's meet with Sukhyun too.
-With Sukhyun? -Yes. With him too.
Let's go.
Did you check our website?
I guess not. The notice reads Chef Julian will be one of the judges.
VP Shin made a wise decision.
You must feel confident to have VP Kang back.
You're right.
But you two shouldn't be so happy about it.
Why don't we go check the notice?
Chef Julian's a judge now. It means you two can enter the contest together, right?
Yes, back to where we were.
Then it's 100% sure you two will win. Sowon has a sure menu.
And your close friend is a judge. He'll give you guys a good score.
He's not such a man.
But still he'll favor his friend. He's a human too.
Congratulations. You can enter the contest with VP Kang now.
Thank you.
Yes, Mother.
Yes. How did it go? Mr. Kang can enter the contest, right?
How did you know?
To get you two enter the contest together, I gave up an apartment in Kangnam.
Mother, what are you talking about?
Well, don't mean to brag. I won't make it long.
Anyways, I'm glad that woman kept her promise. See you in the evening.
VP Shin wants you and VP Kang in her office.
-Did you check the notice? -Yes. We can enter the contest now.
-Sorry but that won't be possible. -Why?
We have no reason not to enter together.
Do you have to when there's a risk of receiving special favor from your friend?
If it becomes an issue of fair practice, it can ruin the whole contest.
Fair practice?
Chef Julian separates personal from business.
We know that. But there's a photo of you two on the internet. There'll be gossips.
A photo on the internet?
Now I get it. You two cooked this up again, didn't you?
You shouldn't falsely accuse us just because you're cornered.
Since it came to this, we'll use your friendship to Julian for PR.
So I ask you to give up on entering the contest.
You're such a...
Your own gain comes before the benefit of the company.
You reap what you sow. Both of you will regret this soon.
How naive. The losers are the ones who regret.
Shouldn't you win if you don't want to regret?
Where was this girl, Ji-in Han?
Her social security number never existed. Someone made it up and is non-existent.
Huh? There's no such a person? What about that adoption paper then?
But...
What? Is there more?
I heard a strange rumor in Youngwol.
Strange rumor? Is it about Haeran?
Minja Shin had a daughter 30 years ago and ran away.
She had a daughter and ran away?
Are you saying it's true that Haeran had a daughter?
The result is obvious if Sowon enters the contest alone.
Minja Shin, come out! If you don't, I'll expose everything right here!
-They're out to get us both. -Are you still a spy for VP Shin?
How about settle the matter of five years ago?
Ms. Chair is inquiring about Minja Shin.
I'd like to ask something about my daughter-in-law.
