(It's My Life)
(Episode 46)
- 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 the funeral?
Who said that?
Jin Ah's mom told me.
She bragged that Director Choi,
the future successor of Hyunkang, came and acted like family.
- Ms. Choi. - Be careful.
What is it, Ms. Choi?
- What is it? - Have a seat here.
Where is Nam Jin right now?
Nam Jin is at work.
Nam Jin, this is Si Woo's mom.
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie that Si Woo wasn't at the funeral?
I'm sorry.
Did you think you could take over Hyunkang...
if you put Si Woo and Jin Ah together?
Genes don't lie.
You're just like your birth mother.
You pretend to be nice,
but scheme behind people's backs.
What is with you, Ms. Choi?
Why are you taking it out on Nam Jin?
This won't go as you planned.
So stop pulling shallow tricks.
Si Woo.
See me in my room.
What is it? Who was that?
It was Ms. Choi.
What did she say?
Is it because you lied about Si Woo not being at the funeral?
My mom told me I'd be punished if I lied and it's true.
How could you be joking right now?
I protected Jin Ah's love.
That's all that matters.
You're a fool.
Where were you?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Do you think you can solve this with an apology?
I love Jin Ah.
I can't accept her for anything.
If you don't like So Jeong,
let's look for someone else.
No, don't do that.
Jung Jin Ah is the woman I want to marry.
Love?
Do you think that will last forever?
You once asked...
what it felt like to be the secret mistress.
It was okay back then...
because I loved your father.
And I had you.
I said it was okay,
but it wasn't.
Your dad...
abandoned his love like an old pair of shoes...
and I was cold and alone.
Love?
There's no such thing as love.
It all changes over time.
That might have been true for Dad, but not me.
I can't give up on Jin Ah.
There's nothing I can do if you won't give up.
Mom.
If you don't give up on her, I'll die.
This won't change anything.
I'll do my best to become the successor of Hyunkang.
And I won't...
give up on Jin Ah.
How could you treat me like this?
Do you think I'd leave her alone?
If you lay a finger on Jin Ah,
I'm going to leave.
What?
You'd abandon your mother...
for someone...
like her?
You're my past...
and she's my future.
I'll leave you to rest.
Do you have something to say to me?
How could you say such a harsh thing?
This is a matter between me and my mom.
I don't think it's any of your business.
Ms. Choi collapsed.
She even drank alcohol.
She drank alcohol?
Don't you know what that means?
It means what you did distressed her more than she can handle!
You know what her life has been like.
You know that she went through such hardship for a time...
to help you inherit Hyunkang!
How could you say such a thing knowing all that?
You will abandon your mother because of a girl?
What did you say?
Your mother is the past and Ms. Jung is your future?
That's enough.
There's no reason...
I should hear this from you.
No. I'm going to say what I have to say.
I can't see Ms. Choi in agony like that anymore.
Don't disappoint her anymore, Si Woo.
My mom is not that weak.
She will eventually accept it.
Please leave now.
My goodness.
What on earth is going on?
Are Si Woo and Jin Ah really dating?
Why else would my angel be that upset?
Oh, dear. I'm worried about Nam Jin.
He will be really sad if he finds out about this.
I think Nam Jin knows it too.
That's probably why he lied...
that Si Woo didn't go to the funeral.
That makes sense.
But why did he lie for Si Woo when Si Woo is dating...
the woman he likes?
Maybe he found out that Jin Ah loves Si Woo,
so he let her go even though it broke his heart.
Right. That makes sense.
It's possible if you think about Nam Jin's personality.
Anyway,
Jin Ah that wench is evil.
How could she start dating another man soon after leaving Nam Jin?
And out of everyone,
she picked Nam Jin's half-brother.
That's exactly my point.
It's a good thing for Nam Jin.
But Nam Jin must be very upset.
I'm sure he'll overcome it.
You know how strong and manly Nam Jin is.
Listen. Let's take good care of Ms. Choi...
for the time being.
How can we?
She always gives us the cold shoulder.
What if she attempts suicide by drug overdose?
If you're worried about her that much,
why don't you stand guard in front of her room?
I mean, you call her your angel.
Standing guard?
Right. I didn't think of that. Good.
Let's leave now.
So soon?
Let's wait for just another hour.
You said that several times already.
Fine. Then I'll go buy some coffee.
I... I'll be back shortly.
Seung Joo, where are you going?
Gosh.
Excuse me.
Hello. How are you?
- May I ask you a question? - Of course, ma'am.
Where did you get this stuffed dolphin?
I picked it up in the hallway.
On which floor did you find it?
On the 16th floor.
I know the owner of this stuffed dolphin well.
Do you mind if I take this to her?
I bought this for my niece at SeaWorld.
My niece's name is Soo Ji.
Look. Her name is written here. Han Soo Ji.
I see. Then go ahead.
Okay. Thank you.
Wait.
What are you going to do?
I don't have any plan.
Shall we knock on every door?
Do you think she will welcome us if we just knock on her door?
Well... How about I blow this whistle?
Gosh, no. Why would you think of doing that?
We might get kicked out of the hotel.
Then shall we say that we'll replace room supplies?
Okay. Room supplies. That's a good idea.
Wait. What kind of room supplies?
Let's just take toilet paper out of the room.
No. Let's just knock every door.
No. We'll get ourselves into trouble.
If someone will be in trouble or get slapped in the face,
I'll be the one. So you just stay behind me.
Let's go.
- Let's go. - Something's wrong with him.
- We really shouldn't do it. - Just trust me.
Oh, no.
My goodness.
Mi Ra.
Oh, my. Seung Joo. What's going on?
What are you doing here?
Here you go. It's yours, Soo Ji.
Soo Ji, she's Seung Joo. Don't you remember her?
Can you really not remember me?
I read you a lot of books when your mom was busy.
I'm also the person who bought you this stuffed dolphin.
Now, you remember me.
I was flustered because she lost her stuffed dolphin.
Thank you.
By the way, why did you come here? Are you here to see me?
But how did you know that I was here?
Well, actually...
I came here to ask you a favor.
A favor? What is it?
Who is he?
What are you doing here?
I was afraid you might think of harming yourself...
while I was sleeping, so I was standing guard here.
Did you think I would overdose on pills?
Yes.
That won't happen. Go to your room and get some sleep.
Are you serious? Are you sure?
I will not die...
until I see Si Woo inherit Hyunkang.
So don't worry.
Well...
Try not to focus solely on your child.
I mean, it's not like Si Woo will live your life for you.
You'll only stimulate him by disapproving of what he does.
It's better to take a step back...
and keep an eye on him.
I can see him walking into a fire.
How am I supposed to just sit back and watch?
What if they quit everything...
and leave to a different country because of your disapproval?
Si Woo seems like he's capable of doing that.
I know what I'm doing.
You want me to be the model for a contest at Hyunkang?
Yes, please Mi Ra.
I understand the situation you're in,
but I don't want to pick up my career again.
Why not?
You were Korea's top celebrity.
Don't you know many people are still waiting for you to return?
I miss those days too,
but now I can't go back.
It'll be painful for everyone if I do.
Is it because of Soo Ji?
Yes.
Then why did you return to Korea?
It's okay, he may look immature...
and lame, but he can keep a secret.
Until two years ago, Soo Ji's dad would visit the US...
to see her, even if it were only for a short while.
However, I haven't heard from him since last year.
I see.
You know Soo Ji has autism.
She whined about missing her dad...
and one day, she started hurting herself.
I couldn't take it and took her to a hospital.
The doctor says she has depression.
Oh, no.
- Depression? - Yes.
It's hard to cure it in children...
and the doctor said Soo Ji might get better...
if she meets the person she misses.
I actually came to Korea to meet Soo Ji's dad.
Was the man we saw earlier Soo Ji's dad?
Did you see him?
Yes.
You could explain Soo Ji's condition...
to her father and meet him without feeling guilty.
He...
has a wife.
He's someone everyone knows by name.
No wonder he looked familiar.
Then what are you going to do?
He said...
he won't come to see me or Soo Ji anymore.
I don't know what to do.
She's gotten so much better...
right after seeing him.
I hope she'll get to meet him...
until she gets better.
I hope so too.
I'm planning to open a flower shop...
and stay near him until Soo Ji gets better.
Come in.
Hi, come here and have a seat.
What brings you here this early in the morning?
I came to give you this.
What is this?
The 100 thousand dollars you lent me.
I don't need it anymore.
What do you mean?
Jin Ah didn't get a private loan,
but Si Woo paid it back for her.
Si Woo did?
Did Jung Jin Ah have anything to do...
with him calling off his engagement?
How did you know?
You have a sharp instinct.
Yes, I do.
Are you okay, Nam Jin?
I was very upset at first,
but then I remembered something Grandpa said.
What did he say?
He said you're not meant to be...
if it doesn't work out even when you tried your best.
He once told me the same thing...
when I was younger.
Then...
have you had your heart broken as well?
You could say that.
Anyway, I think this is as far as my love goes.
- That's good. - 5,000?
- Yes. - Yes.
- You don't have to worry. - Yes.
Yes, yes.
Even people in rural areas must have heard about it.
This is awesome.
How is the other team doing in sales?
I visited their website and many people complained...
that it's too expensive, it looks like a doll's outfit,
and that it rips easily.
I got three orders today.
Life is worth living.
I'm starting to lose my voice.
I heard the other team is giving a lot of refunds.
50 percent of the sales will be applied,
so that means we're practically tied.
- That's great. - Nice.
Nice.
- Is Ms. Choi at work? - Yes.
Didn't you come together?
No, we came separately today.
You can go in.
Okay.
What's this?
How dare you come in my office!
Let's talk, Mom.
What's with those two? They're always so loving.
Maybe they had a fight.
Now we won't be able open a store at Juseong Shopping Center.
Neither will we be getting an investment.
Are you happy now?
Look,
I'll become the successor of Hyunkang with what I have.
So trust me and watch me do it.
Don't think Nam Jin is a pushover.
You barely beat him in the first contest.
If the people on my side voted for them,
don't you see what that means?
I know. That's what motivated me further.
I'm going to try hard.
So,
please let me have what I want just this once.
Are you asking me to approve of her?
That will never happen.
Even if you can't approve of her right now,
don't hurt her.
If you hurt her one more time...
by calling her junk food,
you won't ever see me again.
What if they quit everything...
and leave to a different country because of your disapproval?
Si Woo seems like he's capable of doing that.
Are you...
threatening me?
It isn't a threat.
I'm saying...
I won't let Jin Ah live in darkness her whole life like you did.
Are you saying...
you're going to marry her?
When I become the successor of Hyunkang,
I'm going to propose to her.
Please give us your blessing.
Does that mean...
that it doesn't matter...
whether I disapprove of her or not?
Yes.
Why in the world did Mr. Choi call off the engagement?
Curiosity was killing me the entire weekend.
Don't you know anything, Yeon Ji?
I don't know. Maybe he was bewitched by someone.
What is she saying?
I have a pile of work to do because he called it off.
Why?
We can't open a store at Juseong Shopping Center.
I have to rewrite the sales forecast report.
One snake is ruining the lives of several people.
Your coffee is here.
Hello.
Jin Ah, these are the coffee and sandwiches you ordered.
What's this?
I ordered it to thank everyone...
for your thoughtfulness during my father's funeral.
I skipped breakfast. This is really nice.
- Yeon Ji, here you go. - I'm good.
Why?
I put two slices of ham only in your sandwich.
Really?
Then shall I eat it since you made it for me?
Finish your food quickly and get back to work.
Ms. Jung.
Have you done with the customer survey on our clothes?
I can finish it before the lunch break.
Hey... Jin Ah. I'll get going.
Yeon Ji, stop by my cafe later.
Come and taste the new menu that I developed.
Okay.
Let's start the meeting.
Okay.
Gosh.
(Seoul Correctional Facility)
Hi. My goodness. You've been through a lot.
- You must be cold. - Honey.
Eat some tofu.
- It must've been so hard. - Shall we go?
(Happy Adjustment Happy Citizens)
(It's My Life)
I'd like to take Soo Ji to an aquarium today.
She has never left home without me, her mom. Will you be okay?
She might behave in unusual ways.
Don't you want to get compensation from her?
- Compensation? - You can buy a new handbag.
Oh, right. You can get yourself a fur coat too.
Ms. Seo, help me out.
What should I do?
It's time.
Shall I make a move now?
