(Mom)
(Son)
You better stay quiet.
If you don't, I'll cut my wrist and die right here.
That kind of threat isn't going to work on me.
Se Hyun deserves to know...
what kind of person his mom is.
So Yu, what are you doing here?
I need to talk to you, Se Hyun.
Where's my mom?
Goodness, what's going on?
Her hand is ice-cold.
Se Hyun, there's a blanket in the trunk of my car.
Here.
Hurry.
How long have you been shivering out in the cold?
You better keep your mouth shut.
I have something that will make your mom collapse.
Is the fact that you used So Dam as a surrogate mother...
nothing but a tactic to you?
- Why are you here? - Seriously.
You should've called.
Why did you just wait here?
Se Hyun, we should take her home.
I think she'll feel uncomfortable. I'll just drive her to work.
- No. - What?
We need to warm up her body first.
She'll catch a cold at this rate.
Let's go inside.
I'll go upstairs after I park my car.
Okay, don't worry.
Why did you do that?
Why did it have to be So Dam?
Are you trying to ruin your sister's life...
by going around and telling everyone?
Shouldn't you be apologizing?
Apologize?
She asked me to help her save her mom, so I did.
So why would I apologize?
You're not normal.
Se Hyun needs to know that.
The moment you tell him anything,
your sister and mother won't be able to live normal lives.
Threatening me isn't going to work.
Fine, then. Go ahead.
Do you think your mother would continue with her treatment...
if she finds out that her daughter volunteered to be a surrogate...
for the sake of saving her life?
If I were her,
I think I'd want to end my life.
Se Hyun will be here soon.
That kiss with Seo Jun...
You even tailed me?
I even have a video. Do you want me to send it to you?
Get to your senses, and listen to me properly.
Tell Se Hyun that you came...
because you got confused after your kiss with Seo Jun.
You want me to tell him about the kiss?
You brought this upon yourself.
How else are you going to explain why you suddenly showed up here...
at this hour?
Drink your tea.
A single choice could affect your entire life.
If your goal is to ruin your entire family,
you can go ahead and keep that attitude.
I know it's not the best place for a lovers' quarrel.
But I didn't feel comfortable about sending her outside...
because she was shivering in the cold.
You guys should just talk here.
- I'll be off to work. - Okay.
There's no need for you to feel uneasy.
Feel free to talk here.
Goodness.
I hope you resolve your misunderstanding with Se Hyun.
If you didn't eat breakfast,
I could ask the housekeeper to fix you a meal.
I'll take care of it, Mom. You should go.
Okay, then.
Why did I ever have to get involved with a darn brat like that?
Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?
I'm okay.
Did something happen?
You said you need to talk to me.
The moment you tell him anything,
your sister and mother won't be able to live normal lives.
What's going on?
Fine, then. Go ahead.
Do you think your mother would continue with her treatment...
if she finds out that her daughter volunteered to be a surrogate...
for the sake of saving her life?
If I were her,
I think I'd want to end my life.
Tell Se Hyun that you came...
because you got confused after your kiss with Seo Jun.
I...
kissed Executive Director Choi.
Did you...
come all the way here to tell me that?
I kept feeling guilty.
I came to tell you what happened...
so that I could feel more at ease.
What?
Can't you...
just forgive me and the executive director?
How far are you trying to go?
As far as I can.
I can't help but feel bothered...
by the fact that you're always around me.
And Executive Director Choi seems to feel the same way.
You're making us feel...
like we're committing a crime.
But let's be honest. We did nothing wrong.
It's not like you and I even dated each other.
You should leave.
Just treat me like you treat Myung Ji Yoon.
I said, leave!
What happened?
What did you say to Se Hyun?
If he finds out...
your true character on top of everything that's going on,
he'd end up so pitiful.
Really? You didn't tell him?
Good morning.
Where's Secretary Eun?
She's not here yet.
It's weird. She isn't even answering her cell phone.
Really?
(Luggage bag)
(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)
I wonder if she's sick.
Congratulations!
The audience went crazy.
The camera director said he's sure you're going to become popular.
- Really? Did he really say that? - Yes.
I've been working in this industry for 15 years now.
And I can tell for sure that you're going to become a huge star.
I don't even remember anything I did on stage.
I'm still so nervous.
Of course, you are. It was your first performance.
Where's So Yu? Didn't she come?
(Luggage bag guy)
Yes, sir.
Are you okay?
What's with your voice? Did you catch a cold?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
No, I just wanted to check if you're okay.
I'm sorry if I woke you up.
You should just stay home and rest today.
(Chae Young)
So Dam's first shoot went amazing.
The director, camera director, and lighting director...
are all saying So Dam's group is going to become really popular.
I'll send you a video. You should watch it.
So Dam.
What are you going to do?
My goodness.
Goodness.
Don't worry about So Yu.
She'll never do anything that might ruin her sister's career.
Do you know how startled I was...
when she came all the way here?
She's just going around...
venting her anger because she's her older sister.
But there's nothing she can do.
All she can do is cry all by herself.
You're right. It's not like she'll call the cops...
or shoot me with a gun.
Now that I think about it, letting So Dam make a debut...
was a really great choice.
We no longer need to worry about them.
And it didn't seem like Choon Mi knew anything about So Dam,
so everything will be fine.
If she calls, don't ever meet her yourself.
Make sure you pass it over to me.
Thanks, Ms. Hong.
You always take care...
of the mess I make. What would I have done without you?
That's why I'm getting paid.
But then again,
you were able to earn a decent living thanks to my dad.
And I'm kind of helping you repay your thanks.
So you must actually feel grateful.
Yes, of course.
Do I no longer need to be worried about that brat from Irvine?
No.
Speak of the devil.
Yes, this is Hong Baek Hee.
I told you to talk to our attorney.
Why do you keep calling me out?
This is going to be the last time you'll talk to me face to face.
I'll give you 15 minutes. You may begin.
How can you be so haughty?
The clock is ticking.
Do you remember telling me...
that there won't be a problem since the surrogacy happened...
- in the States where it's legal? - What about that?
Then what about this?
"The CEO of an agency abuses her power in the most shocking way."
"She borrowed one of her trainee's womb..."
"in return for letting her make a debut."
What do you think?
What trainee?
Are you talking about Ms. Choi right now?
My gosh. Stop acting innocent.
I told you already that I saw you in Irvine.
Do you have proof?
The guy who fabricated this document is...
luckily my ex-boyfriend.
Anyone can fabricate documents like this.
How are you going to prove that this is real?
I can see that you've really prepared a lot.
I'll give you enough money to buy yourself a plane ticket.
You should go back to the States.
I'll give you money...
if you go there and send me a photo to prove that you're there.
You must think I'm a dumb Korean American lady,
but you're wrong.
You mentioned something about the transaction price last time.
How about you settle that first?
50,000 dollars.
What? 50,000 dollars? Not 500,000?
Do you think I'm a beggar?
Why would I sell my conscience for such a small amount of money?
If you think 50,000 dollars is a small amount of money,
why did you even get involved in something like this?
I barely even managed to convince Ms. Choi to give you 50,000 dollars.
If you don't like the money, go ahead and send it to the press.
We have our own countermeasures ready.
You'll have to sell your conscience somewhere else...
in order to pay for your litigation costs.
Well, I'll be off now.
Cause a scene.
Hey!
Gosh, I was trying hard to act all refined,
but you should know whom you're dealing with.
I was famous in Irvine for being crazy.
How dare you only offer 50,000 dollars?
Do you think I came to Korea so I could get some pocket money?
Then are you here to go to jail?
I'll send you to jail if that's what you really want.
I heard the food is really good for menopause.
Long time no see, Soo Kyung.
Does your brother know what you're up to?
I guess you caught me.
You should know whom you should and should not threaten.
How dare you use this dumb woman to threaten me?
Dumb woman?
Hey, how do you know if I'm dumb or not?
You should let go. I'm a regular here.
Let go of me.
You're just a servant who takes care of the rich family's dirty work.
But people like you always tend to think you're the conglomerate.
You slept with Chairman Choi, didn't you?
How much do you get paid...
in return for keeping that old man company?
I'm more disgusted by your haughtiness...
than how condescending rich people can be.
Oh, gosh.
Hey, Soo Kyung. Why are you just standing there?
My goodness.
Soo Kyung.
I'll let this pass today for your brother's sake.
But if you go any further, you'll have to pay a fortune.
Let me go.
I said, let me go. My gosh.
- This is all your fault. - Why are you taking it out on me?
("Jang Mi Ri Is in a Serious Condition...")
("After Having Overdosed on Sleeping Pills")
Secretary Kim.
Yes, sir.
Do you feel sick, sir?
Read this for me.
"Jang Mi Ri is in a serious condition..."
"after having overdosed on sleeping pills."
"After overdosing on sleeping pills,"
"she was taken to a hospital in an ambulance in the drama..."
- "'Glass Palace'." - What?
It's a drama plot?
"It's already her 13th suicide attempt."
"It's only been a week since she woke up from a coma."
"But she tried to commit suicide again."
"And the netizens are writing negative comments..."
"saying she's committing suicide way too many times."
"On top of that, she's been using a variety of methods..."
That's enough. You can stop reading it.
Okay, sir.
- Carry on with your work. - Yes, sir.
Jin Bok.
I wonder if she's no longer sick.
The loving memories I had left of him...
have turned into resentment now.
I'm never going to forgive him.
The only way I can take revenge...
is to kill myself.
Gosh, the viewers are going to criticize me again.
It's only been two days since I overdosed on sleeping pills.
I can't believe they're making me stab myself again.
Maybe they keep adding those scenes because you make it look so real...
every time your character tries to commit suicide.
Then should I make it seem less real?
You should still give it your best.
You'll soon become a professional at acting like you're dead.
Someone commented that you're the best...
when it comes to acting like you're in a coma.
What? Does that mean I stand out when I'm lying down?
It's because you look pretty even when you're lying down.
Really?
But what's the point?
I still got dumped by a guy who's 20 years older than me.
You got dumped?
I told him that my entire body is covered in bruises.
But he still won't call.
I guess not everyone can become a chairman.
I figured he might get curious and call me.
But he hasn't called at all.
Is he playing around with her or what?
Yes, you're speaking to Jang Mi Ri's manager,
Wang Tae Bok.
Yes, Chairman Choi.
Is it Jin Bok?
You're going to get fired right away...
if you tell Mi Ri that I called. Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
You want to know how Mi Ri's doing?
She was really shocked that day.
Yes, that's right. She sometimes even has seizures.
She's suffering from insomnia.
Yes. And she eats really well.
- No, I can't eat well. - I mean, she can't eat properly.
And she's constantly ill.
I'm so worried because it feels like something bad might happen to her.
Tell me...
your bank account number.
My bank account number? Why?
I'll wire you some money,
so buy something delicious for Mi Ri.
Oh, right. Mi Ri likes unagi.
So buy her an unagi donburi.
If you tell her that I called you,
I'm going to kill you.
Yes, of course.
I won't ever tell Mi Ri that you sent me money...
so that I could buy her a bowl of...
unagi donburi.
Yes, sir. Goodbye, sir.
Jin Bok's going to send you money so that you can buy me...
a bowl of unagi donburi?
Yes.
The chairman is so romantic.
Do you also want some unagi donburi?
Become a chairman first.
He should come and see me in person instead of sending me money.
It's not easy to earn money these days,
but those kids brought in tens of thousands of dollars.
Were you never suspicious of that?
I'm sure he knows something that I don't.
How could you just take that money?
You're just a selfish witch...
who only cares about herself.
You idiotic wench.
Gosh.
Were you never curious about how they got the money?
Wait a minute.
He said he opened a medical appliances shop or something.
Wait.
(Hello, this is Eun Jae Man. I'm planning to hold...)
(an opening ceremony for my new business.)
Who is it?
Hello, ma'am. It's Choi Seo Jun.
Choi Seo Jun?
The executive director.
Hello.
Please wait for me in the car. I'll be right out.
Okay, sir.
What's all this?
This isn't a special treatment just for Ms. Eun.
It's what I normally do when my employee is sick.
Who's sick?
I heard Ms. Eun is sick.
So Yu isn't here right now. She went to work.
She went to work?
Did she tell you that she's sick...
and not go to work?
No, that's not what happened.
I'm the one who didn't go to work.
- What? - Well, the thing is...
I couldn't go to work because I was sick.
So I figured Ms. Eun would've left the office early today.
I didn't want her to catch a cold because of me.
Anyway, this is for you.
Okay.
Did you catch a cold?
- Yes. - Goodness.
Just a second. I'll give you some bellflower root tea.
- Let's see. - You really don't need to.
It won't take long.
You're really like a mother, ma'am.
That's because I am one.
Gosh, where did she go?
Here.
Seo Kyung.
We need to talk.
- Why? - I have something to say to you.
- What is it? - What do you think you're doing?
You like him, don't you?
Gosh, what are you talking about? He's just Ye Ji's golf coach.
Why are you being so friendly to him?
Goodness, you're just like your mom.
You have such a weakness for men.
You'll end up ruining your life if you keep this up.
What are you talking about? I wasn't friendly to him.
Things are going as planned, so you better not ruin it.
Stop meeting that coach from now on.
You don't care about me either, do you?
What's that supposed to mean?
What's the use of living if I always need to lie low...
and live a quiet life?
Seo Kyung.
You should've just let me die along with my mom when I was seven.
Why did you raise me?
I'll be outside. I'll see you when you're done eating.
Wait here.
Goodness, ma'am. What brings you to call me?
What is your problem?
How will you become the chairman of LX Group...
if you can't even win your wife's heart?
I told you to have a baby first, didn't I?
If you fail to win Seo Kyung's heart,
you won't be able to become the chairman.
Ma'am, wait!
My gosh.
What did Seo Kyung say to her aunt...
that made her get so angry at me?
And let's be honest. I wasn't the one who refused.
She's the one who pushed me and made me get a nosebleed.
So why is her aunt taking it out on me?
Trying to sleep with a wife who doesn't love you anymore...
is even harder than having an affair.
Secretary Woo, come inside.
Did you ask for me, sir?
- I want you to search the web. - About what, sir?
How to sleep with your wife who no longer loves you.
Oh, okay.
"Sleep with wife".
"Slept with wife in 16 years. Slept with wife in 3 years."
"Slept with wife in three months." Which one should I choose?
- A week... No. - A week, sir?
How about two years?
(Jangmulsang)
Mom, I'm home.
I'm tired, so I'm going to get some sleep.
(Luggage bag guy)
Where is it?
Wait a minute.
I'm sure it was somewhere nearby.
Where is it?
(171-25, Nonhyeonro, Gangnam-gu)
Let's see.
It should be around here somewhere.
If I could have things my way, I'd go to your ex-wife...
and ask her how it feels...
to have gotten surgery...
after making her daughter give birth as a surrogate.
Are you crazy?
She always acts so high and noble.
But she's causing harm to everyone by even just existing.
She already did enough by making her daughter...
become a surrogate to get a liver transplant.
But she's even receiving immunotherapy...
which is something only rich people get.
Doesn't she know that she's bleeding her daughters dry?
I'm sure she knows.
She's probably just pretending not to know...
because she wants to live.
She's always really sly when it comes to things that benefit her.
Once I get half of Choon Mi's money,
I'm going to visit your ex-wife and throw a huge fit.
How dare she put on airs...
when she saved her own life by making her daughter...
become a surrogate?
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
Are you here to buy something?
Say that again.
Say what again?
I asked if you're here to buy something.
Did you say I was able to live because I made my daughter...
become a surrogate?
Goodness, you really have a good sense of hearing.
You were able to get your liver transplant...
because your daughter, So Dam, got paid...
by Choi Seo Hyung to be her surrogate mother.
(Gangnam Scandal)
Is it true that So Dam gave birth to your daughter as a surrogate?
That's the reason why you're still alive.
Seo Hyung!
Did you use So Dam as a surrogate to give birth to Eun Byeol?
Seo Jun, please don't tell Dad.
If you do, I'll die.
I'm the one to blame. It's all my fault.
My sister's the one to blame.
Stop being nice to me...
so that I can hate the person who did terrible things to me.
