(It's My Life)
(Episode 45)
Ms. Seo, this is Choi Soo Hee.
Are you at Ms. Jung's father's funeral by any chance?
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Is...
Director Choi there too?
No, he's not.
Are you sure?
Yes, why would he be here?
All right, take it easy.
Si Woo, where are you?
Where are you now?
Thank you, Ms. Seo.
By the way, what's going on?
I'm attending a colleague's father's funeral. Is it that surprising?
- Mr. Kang. - Yes.
Thank you for coming.
I'm sure Ms. Jung's father must've forgiven you for everything.
Thank you.
Enjoy your food.
Oh, boy.
Don't think about anything and get as much rest as possible.
Okay.
I wanted to see our baby, Savior,
walking in these shoes.
Don't cry.
Seeing you cry breaks my heart.
Who's calling?
It's Lawyer Heo Chung San from Hyunkang.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Yes, it's fine.
I see. I'll be right there. Okay.
I'm so sorry to hear about the miscarriage.
I'm not sure how I can console you.
You must know that Nam Jin's mother...
turned herself into the police earlier today.
Yes, I got a call from the police station.
She feels terrible about what happened.
She did it on the spur of the moment when she saw...
blood on Nam Jin's face.
Also, she had no idea...
that your wife was pregnant.
I understand what you're trying to say.
But regardless of the circumstances,
I can't forgive her.
Right.
I completely understand.
Ms. Yang said that this breaks her heart...
because she's miscarried as well in the past.
That was my wife's first pregnancy...
at the age of 40.
When I was going to divorce her because of her brother,
the baby was conceived like a miracle and kept us together.
But how could that happen?
I fully understand how you must feel,
but I think it's a bit harsh for you to tell us...
to find another manufacturer.
That's true,
but how could I continue working with Nam Jin...
as if nothing happened?
I'll make sure you'll never have to see him.
How about I have another employee be in charge of contacting...
and working with your factory?
If you continue to manufacture for his team until the third round,
I'll give you Hyunkang shares in a year.
Hyunkang shares?
Yes.
You got your shares taken away unfairly,
so we should compensate you.
I can't just sit here.
I should go and confirm.
I understand how you feel,
but it's not nice to touch someone's sore spot like that.
Mr. Lee.
You know where Ms. Jung's father's funeral is taking place, right?
Yes, I do. Why do you ask?
Take me there. Now.
Why do you want to go there?
Si Woo...
I think Si Woo is there.
Gosh, that's crazy.
Why would he go there?
You don't need to know the reason.
Will you take me there or not?
I can't drive because I drank.
Then I'll ask Mr. Jang to drive me, so just give me the address.
Gosh, that area is my turf.
Why would you ask Mr. Jang?
Hang on. Let me call Nam Jin.
Nam Jin?
We can stay a bit longer. Why do you want to leave already?
Si Woo is here now, you know.
He'll take care of everything now.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Director Choi?
No, he's not here.
Of course. Why would he come here?
Okay, we'll be leaving shortly. All right.
I guess Ms. Choi has figured it out.
It seems so, doesn't it?
Why did you lie?
I wanted to protect Jin Ah's love.
Jin Ah's feelings for him are sincere.
You just can't stop talking about her, can you?
It's so sad I don't have anyone I've been friends with for 20 years.
We can stay friends for over 20 years starting now.
What's Ms. Jung like?
No, what did you like about her?
Having two different sides, I guess?
Two different sides?
Are you saying she's two-faced?
No.
She looks very delicate,
so I want to protect her and keep her safe.
However, she becomes stronger than me in moments of crisis.
And wanting to be confident in front of her...
makes me stronger.
She has that power.
I think you're like that too. Am I wrong?
I'm not like that.
I always punched boys who lifted up my skirt.
And I always protected the person I loved.
I am far from fragile.
When you had a break-in, you were pale and shaking in fear.
When did I shake in fear? Gosh.
Don't pretend you're strong.
You will end up struggling to live up to the image you created.
I'll struggle to live up to the image I created?
Listen.
If Jin Ah and I fell into the water,
who would you save first?
Well... Of course, I would save...
Don't answer that.
I think I'll be upset if you don't say what I want to hear.
I would save you first, Seung Joo.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Jin Ah is so good at swimming.
What? I want to take back what we just did.
You can't undo what's already done.
I can do it again for you.
Forget it. What's wrong with you?
All right. Stop it.
See? Nam Jin said the same thing.
He said Mr. Choi wouldn't have gone there.
Is something...
going on between Mr. Choi and Jin Ah?
Nothing's going on between them.
Si Woo is just her supervisor.
Why would you get angry at me?
Do you think I'm a punching bag or something?
My angel, do you drink?
In fact, your son's engagement got canceled.
You need to drink on a day like this...
if it helps to comfort yourself.
Would you like another shot?
Yes, please.
I don't understand why Si Woo did that.
Until now, he has never...
done anything against his mother's wishes.
My angel, I know you're upset.
But you know you can't control your child's life.
You see,
I don't know where Seon Hui lives or what she does,
but I only hope she's happy.
Si Woo is different from your daughter.
What's different between them?
Both Mr. Choi, who is smart and got good grades at school,
and my daughter, who likes having fun,
are the most precious people in the world to their parents.
Ms. Choi, you shouldn't drink without eating food.
Please have some food.
I'm fine.
Shall I make you something else?
- Ms. Choi. - My angel.
Oh, gosh. What's the matter?
Are you all right?
What could be the problem?
We had her stomach washed out...
and gave her an injection for pain, so she'll be okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
She was born with a body that can't metabolize alcohol.
If she drinks alcohol again, her life could be in danger.
- So please make sure she won't. - I see.
I've never heard of that kind of condition.
How could you make Ms. Choi drink?
Well, I didn't make her drink.
She drank because she was upset.
We really didn't know about her unusual condition.
She even took a sedative. How could you let her drink?
She could have fallen into a coma.
Were you out of your mind?
Why didn't you tell me?
About what?
My mom told you that, right?
Junk food... She said that, right?
No.
I know.
My mom...
is more than capable of saying such a thing.
I'm sorry...
that you heard such a mean thing.
My mom is a very resentful person.
She was abandoned by my dad when she was pregnant.
She gave birth to and raised me all by herself.
When I was four,
I was sick and burning up with fever.
My mom became so afraid.
So she called my dad.
My dad, who drank,
drove in the rain and died in an accident.
Since my dad and my aunt passed away like that,
my mom became a sinner to that family.
My grandparents hated her until they passed away...
saying their son died because of her.
If me inheriting Hyunkang...
can be compensation for my mom's painful past,
would you be able to understand her?
If you know that,
you shouldn't do this.
No.
I canceled my engagement and came here...
because I was confident.
I would've benefited a lot from the engagement.
But I didn't want to...
give up on you just for the benefits.
Still, you can't do this.
I can't see you go through a hard time...
because of me.
I am not distressed at all.
In fact, I feel at ease.
I can be the successor of Hyunkang...
by competing only with my competency.
I don't know why I was so anxious.
I know that.
But still...
I'm a little afraid.
For a while,
my mom might give you a hard time.
However, whatever happens,
promise me one thing.
Never think of...
breaking up with me.
Don't be afraid.
From now on, I will be by your side.
Are you leaving now?
Thank you for coming.
- Dae Sik, go back safely. - Yes.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Are you done yet?
My angel must be hungry.
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it gets.
Why should I attend to Ms. Choi when she's never been nice to me?
Is Ms. Choi hospitalized? Why?
Don't get me started.
While I was sleeping yesterday,
there was such a commotion.
Si Woo canceled his engagement and ran away,
and Ms. Choi collapsed.
- Did Ms. Choi collapse? - Yes.
I think she was devastated because the engagement got canceled.
Here you go.
Take this and get out of my sight.
Okay.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Where are you now?
Okay, I'll go straight to the office.
No, it's okay. I have to go in because of our order anyway.
Okay, see you in a bit.
Do you have that much work to do?
You've been pulling all-nighters and working late.
You'll ruin your health.
Don't worry, Mom.
I'm strong and healthy, you know.
Hey, Nam Jin. By the way,
did everything go well at Jin Ah's dad's funeral?
Yes.
I'm not fond of that family, but I still should've gone.
I have too much on my mind because of Mr. Han's wife...
that I couldn't even pay my respect.
Well, you should at least call Jin Ah's mom.
She must be devastated.
Okay, I will. Eat up.
Okay.
I found out that Han Mi Ra is staying at Crown Hotel.
Meet me there.
I'll head over there right after my meeting with Mr. Heo.
Yes, come on in.
Mr. Koo, you're here too.
Hello, Mr. Ahn.
- I asked him to join us. - I see.
What did you want to talk to me about?
Mr. Koo will be Minhan's point of contact from now on.
We'll be giving you additional compensation for it.
Compensation?
Thank you, sir.
I know it's the weekend. I'm sorry I made you come in.
I feel bad for those who work for Minhan.
Because of the large volume, they've been operating their factory...
every single day including weekends.
Anyway, I'll be back later.
- Have a good day. - You too.
Mr. Han has agreed to manufacture for you until the third round.
But on the condition...
that someone else becomes their point of contact.
I see. I understand.
He lost his baby due to Ms. Yang's mistake.
Whether they want to forgive her or not is solely up to them,
but you and Ms. Yang...
must do your best so that they can recover from what happened.
Yes.
Thank you for your help.
As always, I owe you.
No, you don't owe me anything.
I'm simply trying to maintain the balance of power...
as per Chairman Ahn's wishes.
The balance of power?
It's what makes any competition possible.
If one side is weaker than the other, it'll be pointless.
You've been helping me out more so far,
so I must be substantially weaker than Si Woo.
No, that's not true.
I've been advising both of you in the same way,
but only you are accepting my advice.
Pardon me?
My gosh, are you all right?
Where am I now?
You're at the hospital.
Where's Si Woo?
Has he called?
Not yet.
- I should get going. - No, you can't leave yet.
You should stay here today.
Si Woo must be home by now.
- We'll reschedule his engagement... - Ms. Choi.
Stop now. Please.
No, I can't.
Do you know how I've come this far?
Why do you think I've been putting up...
with all the humiliation and insults to this day?
- I can't stop. - I understand how you feel.
But you see,
you can't use your son to satisfy your grudge.
This isn't because of my grudge.
Si Woo wanted it too.
- I don't have time for this. - Wait, Ms. Choi.
Just get the injection at least. Leave after you get the injection.
Ms. Choi, you should eat something.
By the way, why is this room so cold?
Is the heat off?
Proceed with the discharge procedure for me, Mr. Jang.
All right.
I'll be right back. Get some rest.
My angel, did you cry?
Don't cry.
If you cry, my heart...
will shatter to pieces.
- Please tell us. - Yes, please.
We're telling you the truth. She's really her sister.
Please believe me. I'm Miranda Han's sister.
I still can't tell you.
We cannot disclose our guests' personal information.
You're so strict.
Then give her a call at least. Please?
Please leave a note for her. We'll make sure she gets it.
Mr. Ahn!
- What took you so long? - I'm sorry.
The meeting with Mr. Heo went on for longer.
You two are here even though it's your day off.
Ms. Lee, it must've been hard for you.
I managed to find out that she's staying at this hotel,
but we can't get more information.
They're saying they can't disclose their guests' personal information.
They told us to leave a note for her, so we did.
But I'm not sure if we'll hear from her.
Really? Then we should wait.
Sorry? Where? Here?
You two can call it a day.
Seung Joo and I will wait for her.
What? Gosh, why are you dragging me into this?
You always pick on me like this.
You saw Han Mi Ra most recently.
That is true,
but what if she doesn't leave her room today?
Well, she may have gone somewhere.
She'll leave her room at some point.
And if she's out now, she'll be back eventually.
You're really something.
You're so optimistic. No, you just don't think.
I give you that.
We'll be off, then.
Keep bickering at each other, and you won't be bored.
We'll get going, then.
All right, thank you.
- Have a good day. - Bye.
How about rock-paper-scissors to entertain ourselves?
Forget it.
- What's wrong with him? - How about a variation of it?
Oh, my goodness.
Don't think about anything...
and get as much sleep as you can.
Okay?
Yes, I will.
Go in.
Are the two of them really dating?
My goodness. Jung Jin Ah, that sly wench.
Mr. Choi is totally bewitched by her.
I'll teach her a lesson.
- My gosh. - Be careful.
Are you all right?
- Give me a glass of water. - I'll get it for you.
By the way,
why did Si Woo do such a thing?
Why call off his engagement and go to Jin Ah's dad's funeral?
I just don't understand.
Si Woo went to that funeral?
Who said that?
(It's My Life)
If you don't give up on her, I will die.
Mom.
You made Mr. Choi cancel his engagement and went to the funeral.
How did you approach him?
Why should I tell you about my relationship with Mr. Choi?
Where did you get this stuffed dolphin?
I picked it up in the hallway.
- Miranda. - Seung Joo. What's going on?
What are you doing here?
