(Episode 39)
Mr. Koo?
It is you.
What are you doing here?
Did you bring those flowers?
Were the ashes of someone you know...
spread here?
Yes.
What brings you here?
My parents' ashes were spread here.
I see.
Thank you for your help at the meeting with the directors.
It was nothing.
Since we're both here anyway,
why don't we go eat together?
I'm a bit...
Sure.
I'm sorry for intruding.
Wait.
Do you mind waiting somewhere nearby?
I'll call you in a few minutes.
Sure.
Mr. Koo?
What was that?
Whose ashes were spread here?
I'll be reborn today...
as my mom and dad's son.
I will work hard and live as I have been.
Watch how your son lives...
from where you are.
This riverbank...
must be a place of mourning for you.
Do you come here often?
I've been coming here...
for over 30 years since before I left Korea.
It hasn't changed at all. It's exactly the same.
The water, the sky...
Was it someone close to you as well?
It would be rude of me to ask more, wouldn't it?
I'm sorry.
This is a complimentary drink.
- Does it have cinnamon... - Does it have cinnamon...
Yes, it was boiled with cinnamon sticks.
I'm allergic to cinnamon.
You're allergic to cinnamon?
You too?
Yes.
I see. We'll pass on the drink.
- Sorry. - Please, don't be.
A cinnamon allergy isn't very common.
That's another strange coincidence.
Is it hereditary?
I'm not sure.
My parents don't have the allergy.
Things...
are hard nowadays, aren't they?
It's hard for many people because of me.
Present company included.
You invested in the company because you believed in us.
I apologize.
I'd rather not discuss work at a place like this.
Ms. Oh's aunt...
is in Ms. Sul's room?
Of all the rooms, why...
Send her to the ward in the basement.
Why not? You're the director.
I'll pay for it.
I'll go next week. Let's talk in person.
Ms. Oh's aunt is in the same room as Ms. Sul?
Things keep getting worse and worse.
I was sweating bullets yesterday...
because Yoon Kyung kept asking so many questions.
It's obvious she'll be there constantly...
to volunteer there and sponsor them.
Even if she sees her, she won't remember her.
They only met briefly once 30 years ago.
It's making me uneasy.
From Carry to Yoon Kyung...
We kept her hidden for 10 years.
I feel like it's crumbling without a sound.
What if Ms. Sul says something strange?
She hasn't spoken for years.
And you can't send her to a ward in the basement.
I'm about to go to your house, Hae Joon.
You're out? Where?
I'll call you later, Se Ra.
Where are you? Hae Joon...
Why can't he say where he is?
You don't think he's with Jennis, do you?
He decided to marry you, so trust him.
Should we put a tracker on him or something?
Ms. Cho truly loves you and cherishes you.
It feels different from how Dr. Seo loves Ms. Hong.
It's on a different level, it seems.
Really?
Not all moms have that motherly love.
Many moms are moms in name only.
When I see them abandon their child and neglect them,
I realize motherly love is learned.
Excuse me.
If only he weren't J Group's son,
he may have been a good match for Yoo Jin.
Yes?
I wished I had a son like you.
I'm a shameful son.
I had great parents and everything I could ever want,
but all I did was disappoint them.
How could a child do everything his or her parents want?
You are a good son.
No, I'm not.
I'm very lucky.
I received a lot of love...
from my grandmother and mother growing up.
Being born to great parents...
is indeed luck.
I hear it's important...
how wealthy a family you're born into these days.
Ms. Cho...
is considerate, sweet, and sentimental,
but Chairman Koo seems to be a strict father.
Because my grandmother and mother spoiled me so much,
my father had no choice but to be strict.
Long time ago...
I'm talking too much, aren't I?
Not at all.
I enjoy listening to you speak.
You gave me everything you had,
breathed on me,
and rubbed my cheeks.
It was so warm back then.
My body and soul...
melted that day.
Sorry, Danny.
I smell popcorn.
- You can't come in here. - What?
I wanted to bring you room service.
Sit here.
- Okay. - Keep your eyes closed.
I can't wait.
- I'll keep my eyes closed. - Okay.
Ta-da. Open them.
A snowman. It has been so long.
Mr. Marshmallow.
Doesn't it remind you of old times?
Yes. Okay.
It's hot.
It's warm.
Your snowman hot cocoa is absolutely delicious.
Should we start a hot cocoa business later?
Sounds good. A bakery too.
What's so funny?
- You're back. - Yes.
You guys seem happy.
Yoo Jin made me her snowman hot cocoa.
Did you have a nice date with Dad?
Yes.
Did you...
have a nice date with Danny last night?
Danny...
has liked you and only you for years.
I think...
you two make a good couple.
No one knows you as well and will love you like Danny.
Later,
when I'm gone and you're all alone,
I wish Danny would be by your side.
That way, I'll be able to rest in peace.
I like Danny too.
But he's a brother to me.
Don't just draw a line and say no.
People's feelings change all the time.
I'm home.
How pretty.
Are they for Se Ra?
- Se Ra? - She's here.
She said she spoke to you.
They're for you.
My gosh. They're so pretty.
You're prettier.
Silly boy. The flowers will laugh.
I mean it.
You're home.
The flowers are so pretty.
Let's go out. I'll buy you flowers too.
Buy them for me when you take me home.
May I stay for dinner?
Of course.
Where did you go?
- I had plans. - With whom?
Someone you don't know.
Is it someone you can't tell me about?
Can't you just let it go?
I will for today,
but don't keep secrets anymore.
If you do, don't get caught.
What is this?
It's a woman's cap.
Whose is it? Is it Jennis'?
I'm going to throw it away.
Why do you have this?
Was Jennis here?
Or did you meet in secret?
I did not. Give it to me. I'll throw it out.
I'll throw it out.
Did you see her?
Where is she hiding?
- Were you and she secretly... - No.
Really? You didn't see Jennis?
No.
Give me everything that's related to her right now.
I'll throw them away.
I don't have anything.
If I catch you with something like this again, I'll...
I don't have anything.
Stop getting worked up.
I don't know what's wrong with me either.
I suddenly get so angry.
I get mad before I know it.
I see why women whose husbands cheat develop rage issues.
You feel pathetic.
Where are the flowers from?
Hae Joon got them for me.
Then why do you look so unhappy?
I'm happy.
His parents treat me like they used to,
and he's good to me too.
Really?
Of course.
Good. I'm glad.
I'll let you rest.
Jennis...
Shouldn't we find her?
Why? Do you have an idea where she is?
No, but we need to know where she is to keep an eye on her.
Better if we put her on a plane and send her away.
Yes, that's what I wanted to do too.
But I feel like it would only make things worse if we find her.
Wait a little while.
Okay.
Let me give you a quiz.
Guess what I'm holding.
I'll give it to you if you guess right.
Your hand is freezing.
You've been living as siblings all these years.
It won't be easy to suddenly see you as a man.
Give it time.
She'll come around.
Will she?
It's all on you.
My daughter isn't that easy.
I know that too well.
She never got to date in her prime when everyone else did.
All she did was study and work.
I feel so bad.
I've wronged Yoo Jin so badly.
Don't say that.
Later on, when she's all alone without me,
I wish you'd be by her side.
Don't worry.
As long as she doesn't push me away,
I'll be with her forever.
Will you leave if she pushes you away?
No.
Thank you, Danny.
Me too. Thank you, Mother.
That's right. I saw Hae Joon this afternoon...
at the river.
Hae Joon?
Mom.
- Hae Joon. - Yes?
What are you doing?
Were you looking at your album?
Yes.
Were you still up?
Drink this.
I'm healthy even without this.
You and Father should drink it.
We have our own.
Drink up.
Good boy.
Good night.
Mom.
Do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?
Really?
Seeing you like that reminds me of when you were little.
I feel like I'm playing with clay.
You loved making things when you were little.
You'd mold clay with those tiny hands...
and play house.
"Mommy, have this. Mommy, have that."
You were so adorable.
You remember all of that?
Of course. I remember everything I did with you.
I didn't forget a thing.
What are you doing?
I wanted to bake. I haven't done it in a while.
That brings back memories.
Your freshly baked bread.
The burnt bread?
We secretly used the owner's oven because we didn't have one,
and got caught.
We set it at a high temperature to bake it faster...
so we could get out of there, and burned it.
I was so upset.
I sat there, crying, holding the burnt bread.
But you said it was delicious and ate it,
so I went from crying to laughing.
It's our oven now,
so you can bake slowly, however you want.
I'll do it.
The smell of fresh bread.
I love the smell of freshly baked bread the most.
I like my daughter's scent the best.
I like your scent the best too.
Then bread.
I feel like I begged for the compliment, but it's still nice.
May I taste it?
- Careful. It's hot. - It's hot.
Goodness.
It's hot.
Does it taste good?
It's delicious. You try it too.
- It's good. - It's good.
Let's take a picture.
1, 2, 3.
Look arrogant. 1, 2, 3.
Look cute. 1, 2, 3.
Hae Joon went on a date with his mother.
You should've joined them.
That mother and son are so sweet together.
I don't want to be the clueless third wheel.
Is the tension between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law starting?
Mom said if her skin care clinic succeeds in the Chinese market,
she'll enter Southeast Asia and then...
Europe too. It should go well, right?
It'll do well if she keeps it up and doesn't take high risks.
If that happens, I'm going to wear the pants in the relationship.
Yes. I want my daughter to wear the pants in the relationship...
like Mom does.
But I can't be like Mom...
since I like Hae Joon more.
You have Mom and Dad, who love you the most.
Hang in there, daughter.
Okay, let's eat.
My daughter's favorite...
drumstick.
- You eat too. - Okay.
What friend did Mom go out to meet?
Please move her into the ward in the basement right away.
Give her one of the rooms.
I can't. That's illegal.
We shut that down a while ago.
- That's where Ms. Sul became... - Forget it.
Are you refusing because Carry is sponsoring you?
No, I'm not.
I'll try to move her by sometime next month.
Why is she making sure Cho Yoon Kyung doesn't see Mi Hyang?
She was a pediatric nurse,
so it must have to do with a baby.
A baby. That means it's Hae Joon.
A secret about Hae Joon that Cho Yoon Kyung cannot find out.
Does it have to do with the truth about his birth?
A secret about Hae Joon?
It may not be about Hae Joon.
Withdraw the report you filed against Hae Joon tomorrow.
Then they'll drop the charges for lack of culpability.
Okay.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
They found lack of culpability?
Thank you for your hard work.
Please post the result of the case on the company website...
and wrap it up. Thank you.
Is the decision out?
They found lack of culpability.
Really?
I knew it.
Let's tell your parents right away.
My gosh. Look at him.
He's so handsome. It must be in his genes.
Father!
- Oh my gosh. - Oh no.
You should be more careful.
Who is this kid?
It's a picture that's circulating online.
What is it? Why are you here together?
He was found to lack culpability.
Really? That's great.
Call your mom.
I did.
Now promote him to president since he was cleared.
Also, report Jennis for making false accusations.
The charges were dropped, so that's good enough.
Don't let...
the company name be associated with scandalous rumors anymore.
Father.
How could we just let it go after what she put our families through?
If you want to restore your reputation completely,
you should report her for making false accusations.
It's not that easy.
I'd have to prove she did it intentionally.
Then we will.
She told me she'd get revenge on you.
What do you mean?
Jennis asked if I hated you,
and said she'd get revenge on you for me.
I was too dumbfounded back then and ignored it,
but she had been planning it since then.
When did she say that?
A few days before she left.
Do you still have feelings for her?
Is that why you won't report her?
I don't want to be associated with her anymore.
I don't know where she is either.
Get back to work.
Seriously. Where is she hiding?
It was planned?
Mr. Koo. I met with Mr. Kang.
What did he say?
He said he met his lawyer through the law firm.
Did he know he was Jennis' brother?
No. Jung Yun Hoo can't be found right now.
I think Hae Joon knows I'm Jung Yun Hoo.
He's digging into our relationship through Mr. Kang.
He'll find out soon enough. Tell him not to waste his time.
Should I?
Danny.
You're keeping something from me, aren't you?
Like what?
Back when you said you were meeting the real estate agent,
where did you really go?
Are you and Mom keeping a secret from me?
A secret?
We're family. Of course not.
That was an obvious lie.
What's popular these days?
The detox line, obviously.
Even with the sexual assault case, it's still...
I'm sorry.
Should we buy something for our mothers while we're here?
A Christmas-slash-end of the year gift?
Should we?
How about this?
That would look good on Dr. Seo.
Where do you think...
that rat Jennis is?
When I think about...
how she messed with the company and our families...
If I ever see her again, I will make her pay.
Stop talking about her.
I don't want to hear it.
Why? Do you not like hearing me badmouth the woman...
that Hae Joon liked?
How could you say that?
You know that's not it.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Don't be. We just arrived ourselves.
Now that your families found peace,
may I go look at "Mom and Daughter"?
Of course. Come anytime.
You know, I ran into Hae Joon at Bukhan River recently.
- You saw Hae Joon? - Yes.
He said the ashes of someone he knew were spread there...
and brought flowers.
The ashes of someone he knew?
Yes. It seemed to be someone close to him.
No one he's close to had their ashes spread on a river.
Did he believe me and look for his birth mom?
Why don't you ask him?
Yes, I will.
No one he was close to had their ashes spread there?
It looks good.
Should we have some wine?
We have a promotion with our new beer.
Let's have a cold beer.
Okay. Two beers, please.
Okay.
I feel so good now.
The bad things are done.
Only good things will happen from now on.
Sure. You've been through a lot too.
I used to collect a lot of beer bottles when I was little.
They used to pay 10 cents a bottle.
What?
The most I collected was 15 in a day.
Although the bottles were heavy,
I felt like I could fly.
Cheers.
Is something wrong with the bottle?
What? No.
Cheers.
Do you know how much this empty bottle is worth?
No. Should I?
What for?
There's no need to know.
You've been acting weird lately. Do you know that?
Why are you asking a stupid question like that?
First, you asked what I'd do if you were a poor orphan.
Why are you asking how much an empty bottle is worth?
Did I? Let's eat.
Okay.
I heard Hae Joon broke up with you.
Did he tell you that?
Yes.
Why did he suddenly break up with you?
He said he likes his wealth more than me,
and that he couldn't give it up.
Selfish jerk.
He played both you and Se Ra.
But that helped with our plan.
It took away some of the guilt.
Is that why you hit your pretty face with these pretty hands?
Because of guilt?
Mother and I were so scared.
That's not all. Let's talk about something else.
I wonder if Se Ra and Hae Joon will actually get married.
I don't care. Let's talk about something else.
He mourned that sadly for someone that his mom didn't know?
If it's someone he can't even tell his mom about,
who could it be?
Mr. Koo?
What was he hiding?
Was it...
the DNA test report?
Then was the person whose ashes were spread there...
his biological father?
Stand tall.
They'll decide soon whether you'll return as chief director...
or be made company president.
It hasn't even been a day yet. Don't rush it.
Still, they should decide soon.
My son has been through so much.
You too.
That's right.
I heard you saw Carry...
at Bukhan River.
Whose ashes are spread there?
(Gracious Revenge)
Mom can't find out.
If she finds out you're not her real son,
your mom will just die.
You're the one who wanted to take this to our graves.
Is this edible?
I wanted to eat comfortably with you...
like normal fathers and sons.
Are you going to drop a bomb on me once we're done eating?
Let's swear on our 40-year-long friendship and be honest.
Were Hae Joon's biological father's ashes spread there?
Why do I keep suspecting you?
Send the workers who reported them to the factory in an hour.
And have Mr. Kang stand by near the office.
