(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)
You must've grown up feeling a bit uncomfortable around your mom.
What do you mean?
You guys seem really close,
but at the same time, you also seem really awkward.
You've never complained to your mom, have you?
I never needed to. She always took care of everything for me.
Are you sure you're not the one who tried to please her?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, you guys.
I think I need to get going.
That's not necessary.
What do you mean?
I don't have trouble...
speaking my mind regardless of whether you're here or not.
So you don't need to try and give us space.
Thank you for being considerate.
But I really have to urgently take care of something.
What is it?
If it's regarding work, I'll go instead.
No, I need to go myself. See you guys.
No, you don't need to see me out. Bye.
I need to think.
I can deal with Seo Jun. He's just a little boy.
Let's stay calm.
You sent me something interesting.
If you showed that to the chairman,
you would've been able to get me fired in an instant.
Or you could've even sent it to Se Hyun.
But why did you send it to me?
Because I wanted to give you a chance.
A chance? What kind of chance?
I'll give you a chance...
to walk away elegantly...
without having my dad or Se Hyun find out about this.
Walk away?
For over the past 30 years,
I always did my best to protect LX Group.
But what did you do?
I may have done nothing,
but my dad, Chairman Choi,
worked hard his entire life to protect this company.
I protected it for him.
But it's not like you did it for free.
So you want me to take my pension and leave?
That's the best option you have right now.
Okay, fine.
Instead,
at least let me finish my last project.
Your last project?
Finding a cure for your illness.
What? You're going to find a cure for my illness?
I don't care if you think of me as a piece of trash.
But don't doubt my sincerity...
of wanting to save your life.
I may not have given birth to you,
but I still think of you as my own son.
I'm going to save your life no matter what.
I'll do everything you ask me to do.
If you want me to give up my advisor position, I will.
And if you want me to apologize to So Yu, I will.
But what's the use of doing all that once you're dead?
You need to live first.
There's no cure.
I'm going to have people develop a medicine for your illness.
They've already begun.
What do you mean?
I found a research center in Switzerland...
that stopped doing their research due to their lack of research funds.
I was going to leave Se Hyun with the company...
and start focusing on the progress of the research.
Please let me finish this before I leave.
What matters is for you to stay alive.
You can help So Yu recover her pride...
and heal her emotional scars...
once you become all better.
But before you do that, you need to get treated first.
I promise that I can save your life.
Are you okay?
I'm a little dizzy. Just a second.
(My So Yu)
So Yu...
Hey.
Hello?
What's with your voice?
I dozed off for a second.
No, I'm already out of the office.
I didn't want to disturb you.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Does So Yu not know yet?
No.
What's your plan?
But then again,
her mom only recently passed away, so I understand why...
you're having a hard time telling her.
I should tell her now.
About So Yu...
Promise me that you'll never get involved with her...
ever again.
That won't ever happen.
If she's done with Se Hyun, she's done with me.
If you break your promise,
I'm going to tell Se Hyun everything.
If you do that, I'll die.
There's no need to look at me that way.
I meant that I understand.
Okay, then.
Seo Jun! Seo Jun!
She had...
so many scars.
That's probably why Se Hyun was attracted to her.
He had to grow up with a single mom.
He didn't have a normal family from the moment he was born.
So I wanted him to marry someone...
who didn't have any scars and become happy.
Because of my greed,
I ended up doing things that I shouldn't have done.
I'll try to find a way to atone for all my wrongdoings.
So please...
Please don't tell Se Hyun about this.
It's my last request.
No one can leave this place before someone comes up...
with a way to deal with So Yu.
You want us to come up with a way to deal with So Yu?
Can you give us a rough guideline?
Make her disappear from my sight.
Instead, both Se Hyun and Seo Jun need to be able...
to send her away with a smile.
- Okay, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Do said she'll bring your breakfast to your room,
but I told her not to.
Your joy is to eat breakfast...
with the entire family.
Get up, Dad. Let's have breakfast.
Seo Jun.
Time keeps ticking.
You should get married.
- You should get married first. - What?
I'm not in the situation to get married right now.
Then what about me? I'm not in the situation to get married either.
But you...
Are you trying to say that I don't have much time?
It's not like you're going to live until you're 200.
We'll both end up dying one day.
You know that's not what I mean.
As the only son of the Choi family,
you hold the responsibility to continue our family tree.
Dad.
Yes? What is it?
I don't want to worry about anything anymore.
I just want to focus on the present.
And right now, I want you to do what you like doing best...
and come eat breakfast with the family.
Where's the money basket?
Let's go.
Here. You should give it out to everyone.
Thank you.
This is beet juice. It's good for your blood.
Sir, you should drink this before you eat your meal.
What's the use...
of drinking this and becoming healthy?
Why would you clean that up?
Because I'm the reason you threw it.
What are you doing? You should go stop him.
Okay.
He threw it because of Seo Jun? What does that mean?
It seems like you know something, Seo Hyung.
If you know something, you should share it.
My gosh.
There's something big happening in my life right now.
What is it?
Are you getting married?
By any chance, are you marrying Ms. Eun So Yu?
Is that why Father...
Gosh, will you please be quiet and just listen to him?
It's already pretty obvious.
Shut your mouth and just listen!
I'd love to tell you everything because you're my family.
But I haven't been able to say anything to the woman I love.
So you're going to propose, right? It all makes sense now...
So although you may be curious, please wait until I can tell you.
Let's go back to eating breakfast.
Gosh, what's the big thing that's happening in Seo Jun's life?
Did you hear anything?
"What's the use of becoming healthy?"
That's what he said as he threw the glass filled with juice.
It's definitely something that made Father get really angry.
But...
he can't tell us anything yet...
because he didn't get a chance to say anything to So Yu.
What could it be?
The more I think about it, the more I think it's a proposal.
Then everything falls into place. Don't you agree?
You don't deserve to be giving me the silent treatment.
You really are amazingly audacious.
It seemed like Seo Jun wasn't feeling so well.
Are you kidding me right now?
You really are of no help at all.
You're always complaining with every single thing I do.
Do you not know how to do anything else but complain?
First, I get slapped with vegetables.
And now, she tells me off for complaining too much.
My gosh.
I wonder if this year's a bad year for me.
I'm sorry about what happened with Ms. Kang.
The matchmaker suddenly called and told me...
that the daughter of JH Fashion wishes to meet you.
And I knew you'd decline if I told you about her,
but I didn't want to lose her either.
That's why I pulled some strings.
I have no intentions on getting married, Mom.
But you used to be so inclined to getting married.
Do you not feel the same way because she's a different person?
- Yes. - Se Hyun.
I know staying single isn't considered as a flaw these days,
but it'll make adults think of you like a kid.
Back when you were just the head director,
there was no need for you to rush.
But now, I think you need to hurry up and get married.
People are already causing an issue with your age.
You should at least start a family...
I'll get married when I'm ready.
But I feel like she's the best match you can ever find.
Why did you suddenly leave yesterday?
It seemed like it had something to do with Seo Jun.
To be honest, he even came to see me in my office yesterday afternoon.
What did he say?
He said nothing surprising.
It seems like he has a huge misunderstanding about me.
But then again, it's only natural.
He's head over heels for So Yu right now,
so he'll obviously believe anything she tells him.
She must've blamed me for what happened to her mom and sister.
Even I'd become furious if I were in his shoes.
It's really bad.
I always just kept quiet because I never thought...
the misunderstanding could get any worse...
since I never did anything wrong.
My gosh.
Gosh, what in the world am I doing?
Hey, sign this.
I did what you asked and cooked bean sprouts soup with kimchi.
- So Yu needs to eat it. - What?
Hey, do you really think she'll eat what I cooked?
Why did you cook it if you knew she wasn't going to eat it?
Hey, you're the one who told me that this is her favorite dish.
Yes, but I never guaranteed that she'll eat it.
What?
You made me cook bean sprouts soup with kimchi...
to put me through trouble, didn't you?
Are you taking revenge because I once threw bean sprouts at So Yu?
You little...
Okay, fine.
I'll let you shower in bean sprouts soup with kimchi.
Gosh, let go.
Why are you causing such a fuss so early in the morning?
That brat keeps treating me like I'm a fool.
When did I ever do that?
I cooked bean sprouts soup with kimchi...
because you told me that it's her favorite dish.
But you just said you won't give us your signature if So Yu doesn't eat.
Isn't that a given?
The fundamental spirit of doing something nice...
is to do something that can be of help to the other person.
What's the point of doing something that's useless?
You little...
Hey, stop!
Hey, go back inside! Go!
It serves her right.
Don't even bother talking to them.
Treat them like they don't exist. That's what I'm going to do.
I was going to do that at first,
but I think the executive director is right.
The executive director?
He said it might be because they don't know...
how much they're hurting you.
The executive director thinks other people are just like him.
So don't bother caring about them...
and just treat them like they're not here.
Come on. It's fun.
She asked me what your favorite dish is,
so I said it's bean sprouts soup with kimchi.
And she actually cooked it for breakfast.
It's totally unbelievable.
That adulteress cooked bean sprouts soup with kimchi for you.
That's not going to make me forgive her.
I already feel sorry toward my mom...
for having let them live here.
I'll be off now.
Shouldn't you eat a little out of courtesy?
I'd rather have you throw a fit than ignore me like that.
Isn't that more humane?
Goodness, that little brat.
She's exactly the same as her mom.
She thinks she's all high and noble.
Her pouty lips and the way she looks at me like I'm some kind of a bug...
I don't want to live here!
You are so annoying!
How could you invest your money without doing any proper research?
And the least you could do was just invest your funds.
How could you think of investing your entire fortune?
You're the one who got all excited about getting to live in Hawaii.
How dare you talk back to me?
Just get me some rice!
Do you think I'm your slave? Get your own bowl of rice!
My goodness, seriously.
Hey, the least you could do is scoop me some rice!
Do you want to get slapped with this?
I'm not Heungbu.
He at least saved a swallow.
Gosh, let go of that.
Why would you put the rice paddle in your mouth?
My gosh, seriously.
What took you so long?
You called in the morning, and we came as fast as we could.
Why are you yelling? You're the one who's asking us for a favor.
Be quiet. Here.
You need to hurry up and clean.
Where's the cleaning lady?
- She quit. - What?
Why?
She did such a great job in cleaning everything.
Did you fire her?
When did you see her clean so spotlessly?
What?
But then again, she did have a great body. Her bottom was huge.
She went to the hospital...
to get joint replacement surgery because her knees hurt.
So what? You even want us to clean this place?
We can't do it. We're the owners.
My gosh.
Here. Make sure you clean the bathroom spotlessly.
You even want us to clean the bathroom?
Of course. That's the most important place.
Tae Bok.
Chae Young must've told you to do this to us.
But just know that you'll suffer...
for the rest of your life if you marry her.
What's wrong with Chae Young?
Do you even know how lazy she is?
She never does the dishes, so they're always piled up.
And whenever she notices that I'm about to do the laundry,
she comes and throws in her clothes.
Goodness.
Look at you naively falling for her lie.
Get to your senses. Let's go.
You'd better clean properly.
Chae Young's pretty, so she's allowed to be lazy.
What?
My gosh.
What did that ugly punk just say to me?
What are you doing? Why are you wearing gloves?
We need to clean.
Aren't I really loyal?
I said we should come here and eat.
I love you, Mi Ri.
I really put in a lot of work to cook everything,
so finish it until the very last bite.
I hate people who don't finish their food.
Tae Woong, didn't you used to throw away the crust...
back when you used to be on a diet?
Are you serious? I did something that crazy?
You used to be the epitome of craziness.
Gosh, I can't believe Tae Woong opening up a pizza restaurant.
Goodness.
Eun Byeol, is it yummy? Go on and eat up.
My goodness. He's even a dad.
Eun Byeol, peekaboo!
How are you so adorable?
She looks like me back when I was a baby.
Mi Ri, how could you say that?
Eun Byeol is the prettiest person in the entire world.
- Right? - My goodness.
My gosh, fine. Let's say you're right.
They look so pretty.
What? Really? Let me see.
Hey, Seo Hyung will throw a fit once she sees this.
Hurry up and delete it.
Why? The photo came out nice.
Hey, it obviously looks as if they started a family together.
She'll get furious when she sees how close they both seem.
Hurry up and delete it right now. Hurry.
What did you just say?
So Dam and Tae Woong started a family together?
Do you seriously have to come all the way here to talk nonsense?
Oh, right. Yes, it was complete nonsense.
So just hit me, and let's call it even.
Chae Young, delete it right now!
Gosh.
My goodness.
Hey, are you crazy?
Why would you take a photo like this with my daughter in the middle?
She didn't intend on taking a photo like that.
She just took it absentmindedly because Eun Byeol was so pretty...
Hey.
Shut it.
Stop it. People are watching.
When did you ever care about other people watching?
Tell me.
I said, stop it.
Stop what?
Die.
Die. Just die!
If you choke me one more time,
I'm not going to stand still. Okay?
Then what are you going to do?
Do you want a divorce?
Are you doing this because you want to live with her?
Yes, I'm going to get a divorce and start a new life...
with So Dam and Eun Byeol.
Do you have a problem with that?
Tae Woong, that's not right.
You always yell at me and hit me!
I can't live with her anymore, Mi Ri.
Tae Woong, have you gone mad?
If we get divorced,
your career will be done for in this industry.
I already got my second chance, so I'm fine with that.
I'm no longer going to hold back.
My entire body is covered in bruises.
You always choke me and beat me up.
I'm no longer going to live with you anymore...
even if you beg me to.
Tae Woong!
Get out of here. This is my restaurant.
- Tae Woong. - I said, get out!
Get out.
I said, get out of here! Go!
Tae Woong, what if Ms. Choi comes back with a gun?
You should go and beg for forgiveness.
No, why do I need to beg?
I'm not her slave.
But what if she forbids me from seeing Eun Byeol again?
I'm Eun Byeol's dad.
If that ever happens, I'll even sue her if I have to.
So don't worry.
Yes, of course.
Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy my time with Se Hyun.
Yes, the food was delicious.
Yes.
Yes, okay. Bye.
Hello? What brings you to call me, Ms. Yoon?
(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)
This is your way of taking care of things?
Did you get money for your cell phone?
Did you also get an apology?
Yes, of course. After all, you're the one who gave her orders.
Now that this is settled,
whom should I aim for this time?
So Yu, don't let Ms. Hong sway you like this.
This is what she wants.
She wants you to take it out on me.
Just hearing her name is enough to make me go mad.
I've been fooled by her so many times.
I would've reacted the same way. She gave you such a hard time.
She's like a snake that slithers inside people's minds.
Even she apologizes, I can't believe her anymore.
Did you really expect her to apologize with all her heart?
If she was capable of doing that,
she wouldn't have done all those bad things in the first place.
So are you telling me...
to just let it go now?
This was my way of warning her...
so that she wouldn't mistreat you.
Even if you make my dad and that woman become better people...
by making them do one good deed every day,
I still won't be able to forgive them.
Even if Ms. Hong apologizes to me a million times,
I still won't be able to forgive her.
Because regardless of how nice they become,
my mom will never come back.
I wanted to help you...
get rid of all your resentment as we lived together.
Let's give her some time.
What kind of time?
Time for her to look back and reflect on herself.
In reality,
there aren't a lot of happy endings.
It may not happen often, but it does happen sometimes.
And that might happen this time around.
Who knows? Your guardian fairy might be...
getting rid of all the bad guys behind your back.
Are you...
planning something behind my back?
I can't say. It won't be any fun if I tell you beforehand.
One day,
if I click my fingers like this, all your troubles might be gone.
Tell me what's going on.
Shouldn't you get back to work?
I heard your team is always having meetings.
Please don't get involved...
with Ms. Hong without telling me about it, okay?
(Team Manager, Kang Han Na)
That's not all.
She was always begging Se Hyun to marry her.
But when she went to the ski resort with her team,
she suddenly started...
kissing Seo Jun right in front of Se Hyun.
It's such an embarrassment, so I think I should stop here.
So Yu.
Yes, Ms. Kang.
Can we talk for a while?
You're going to send So Yu to an office abroad?
You need to start getting antibody injections...
and begin receiving your treatment.
But it will be impossible to do it without So Yu knowing about it.
So I was thinking maybe we could send her abroad...
with an excuse to make her work on the collaboration with Woodroffe.
It'll also be a great opportunity for So Yu.
Ms. Kang's supposed to be the one going there,
but I'll ask her if she's willing to yield.
Next week, you'll be getting dispatched...
to the States for two months,
so please have your passport and visa ready.
I'm getting dispatched?
Please don't...
get involved with Ms. Hong without telling me about it, okay?
(Gangnam Scandal)
You want me to give you my shares?
There's nothing you can do.
Are you confident?
Let's see how you'll put up with it all by yourself.
- She's getting dispatched? - I was supposed to go.
Did Executive Director Choi ask you to do this?
No, he asked me for no such favor.
You can become healthy and meet her again.
Well, yes. You have a point.
I want you to write up a medical certificate.
Make it seem like it was sent from the research center in Switzerland.
I heard you were the one who gave the orders.
