(It's My Life)
Why are you being like this suddenly?
I think I'm being punished.
Because I took love and marriage lightly...
and treated you badly,
I must be in pain now.
I apologize...
sincerely.
Thank you for apologizing.
I will accept your apology.
My goodness. What's the matter?
Mr. Choi, are you feeling unwell?
Wait. Are you all right?
Oh, dear. My gosh. Mr. Choi.
Wake up.
What is it? What's going on?
Nam Jin, something seems wrong with Mr. Choi.
I think we need to call an ambulance.
- Wake up. - Wake up, Si Woo.
(Gyungsung Hospital)
- Where am I? - Did you wake up?
You're at the hospital.
Your liver enzyme level is high.
You need a thorough check-up.
That isn't necessary.
It's probably because I didn't sleep and prepared for the contest.
You don't look good.
I think it'd be better for you to stay here for a few days.
I should call Ms. Choi, right?
No, don't call her.
I don't want her to worry.
I need to go. Where are my clothes?
Where do you think you're going?
Do you know the condition you're in?
Your liver enzyme level is so high it's dangerous...
because of stress and drinking.
I feel better after getting some sleep.
I'll check out of the hospital.
Gosh, the men in this family are so stubborn.
You brothers are totally opposite,
but how are you so similar when it comes to stubbornness?
Why would you bring that up?
Choi Si Woo, do as Seung Joo says.
Don't get me in trouble too.
I'm really okay.
I can't take this. I'm calling Ms. Choi.
Do you think she'd let you check out of the hospital?
Please don't. If she finds out, she'll blame Jin Ah.
I don't want my mom to blame Jin Ah because of what I did.
All right. I won't call her.
So listen to me.
At least stay for the check-up tomorrow morning.
I'll go and take care of the procedures.
Buy some toiletries and water on your way back.
Are you going to stay here too?
We're inseparable.
I can't leave you here alone.
What? Working late?
Do you have that much work?
Mr. Lee is here...
being lazy and enjoy her time.
Why do you have to work late?
All right, I'll have Mr. Lee take you a change of clothes tomorrow.
Make sure you get at least a little bit of sleep.
Okay. Bye.
Is Nam Jin working late?
Yes, he is.
You seem to be playing all the time.
Why is Nam Jin the only one working late?
There's no reason for him to be working late.
Wait. Do you think they might be causing trouble?
What trouble?
Think about it.
Si Woo stayed out all night using work as an excuse...
and got Jin Ah pregnant.
Ms. Yang, you might become a grandmother
- You're going to be a grandmother - Nam Jin isn't like that.
Why would you think that way? My goodness.
Gosh. You could've used your words. Why would you hit me?
Ms. Heo.
Please pack fresh clothes for Si Woo tomorrow morning.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Did Si Woo go on a business trip?
He said he'll be working all night tonight.
Is Si Woo working all night too?
Nam Jin said he'll work all night too.
Should I pack some food for them tomorrow morning?
Just buy any of them.
It doesn't matter whether a toothbrush is pink or blue.
If it works well, that's all that matters.
Buy some wet wipes. And we also need tissues.
Why? Do you need anything?
No.
By any chance, do you do the same thing?
When I ask Nam Jin to buy something for me,
he sends me photos of different products to ask me...
which one he should buy.
I do the same.
One time, I went to buy ramyeon.
I didn't know that there were that many kinds of ramyeon in Korea.
I think I sent at least 10 photos of ramyeon packages to Jin Ah.
That's unexpected.
I thought you would do everything well on your own.
How did Jin Ah look?
Didn't she seem unwell?
No. She seemed to be doing...
better than I thought.
But how did you know?
Did Nam Jin tell you?
We are really over now, right?
I think she wanted to confirm that she left of her own will.
She was happy.
I can't understand why she suddenly made...
made such a decision either.
If I...
had married you,
things like this wouldn't have happened, right?
We would've gotten married with our families' blessings.
And you would've been a wise, good wife.
We would've trusted and respected each other...
while living a comfortable life.
I would never have learned...
about such painful love.
I wouldn't have become a mess like this either.
You know what?
You, who feels pain...
because of love and doesn't know what to do,
is much more down-to-earth now than the person you used to be.
Why didn't you act like this before?
If you did, we might have gotten married.
However,
even if we had gotten married with no problem,
we wouldn't have been happy.
Do you really think so?
Just as Nam Jin said,
I would've run into Nam Jin as if it were my destiny...
and fallen in love with him.
Then would I also have...
run into Jin Ah as if it were my destiny...
and fallen in love with her?
Of course.
Rather than finding true love after getting married,
this is much better.
We don't have to be heartbroken because of hopeless love.
Hey. What is going on?
Are you really working all night?
I need to know the truth to help you out.
It's a long story. I'll tell you later.
Hey. Nothing happened between you and Seung Joo, right?
If you get caught by Mr. Han of Minhan,
you two will be over. You know that, right?
It's not like that.
I'm telling the truth. So don't get the wrong idea.
See you tomorrow.
Tell her that Jin Ah was hired by a Chinese company, Mom.
Did you talk to Jin Ah, Nam Jin?
No.
Jin Ah will call her mother when she's pulled herself together.
So I just want her mother not to worry until then.
He was thinking of telling Jin Ah's mother and reporting her missing.
He said he'll never give up.
He said he'll find her and ask her directly.
Could they be...
looking for Jin Ah right now?
After all I've done to break them up...
(Gyungsung Hospital)
Nam Jin, you're acting weird.
You've been so quiet since last night.
Do you have any worries?
I feel so apologetic towards you.
Why would be sorry to me?
You're the only daughter of a rich family and highly educated.
You have a good personality and a good heart.
But you met a stupid country boy like me...
and had a hard time emotionally because of me.
I feel so bad about it.
My goodness. You're sorry for nothing.
If you hadn't met me,
you would've met a nice guy and lived a comfortable life.
Where is a better man than you?
To me, you are the greatest man...
in the whole world.
When my mom...
met my dad for the first time, she saw...
an aura around his head.
She fell in love with him so deeply that she decided to...
marry him on their second date.
But after they got married, she found out...
that my dad has such ugly toes.
So?
But then she thought,
"Even such a fabulous man like him has something ugly."
"He's so down-to-earth."
Your mother was completely pure-hearted.
These days, I can fully understand...
how my mom must've felt.
Sorry?
Even if you have an outie belly button...
or really ugly toes...
"This man is so down-to-earth."
I would think like this.
Thank you...
for appearing in front of me...
and for choosing a man like me.
Is it done?
I've had a test. I can go to work now, right?
You said you would work all night.
Where are you coming from?
We went out for breakfast.
With Nam Jin and Seung Joo?
You ate with them?
Actually, we also worked all night last night.
So we ate together.
Did you look for Jin Ah all night long or something?
Or did Nam Jin tell you...
that he would find Jin Ah for you?
No, I didn't.
If you help Si Woo end up with Jin Ah,
do you think he'll give up on becoming the successor?
I warned you...
not to pull a trick.
Mr. Choi fainted yesterday.
- Seung Joo. - Seung Joo.
Due to overwork, stress, and too much drinking,
his liver enzyme level was so high it could be dangerous.
Is that true?
You should have told me.
He told us not to tell you because he didn't want to worry you.
That's why we stayed with him at the hospital.
We came to work after he had a test this morning.
In a situation like this, as his mother,
shouldn't you be thanking us?
That's enough, Seung Joo.
Jin Ah must've left because it was unbearable.
She must have left because you gave her such a hard time.
How dare you blab away like that?
This doesn't concern you.
You see, I despise you, Ms. Choi.
You're horrible and terrifying.
Since I have nothing to do with you now,
it's nothing I should care about.
But please do not treat Nam Jin poorly anymore.
He's not someone you can treat poorly.
- What's with you? Stop it. - Let go of me.
Let go of me so I can tell her everything I have to say.
You shouldn't be like that, Ms. Choi.
Let go of me. Why are you trying to stop me?
Let go of me. Come on.
You should've let me finish since I started. Why did you stop me?
You've said enough, so stop it, Seung Joo.
Seriously.
I'm so mad.
Good morning.
We're sorry we're late.
Did you stay out all night?
You're wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
- Yes, the thing is... - They worked all night.
All night? Doing what?
We didn't have anything to work on all night.
I had to make a call about importing material...
and came to work very early this morning.
The door to the office was locked and the lights were turned off.
Hey, did you really get yourselves in trouble?
Trouble? What trouble?
You stayed at the hospital...
because Mr. Choi collapsed?
Yes, that's right, Mr. Han.
You should've sent Seung Joo home.
Why did you make her stay all night at the hospital?
I said I'd stay.
Mr. Choi was adamant about checking out of the hospital,
so I stayed to keep an eye on him.
I don't like how you're such a busybody and take care of others.
Are you turning Seung Joo into the same person as you?
My goodness.
They're brothers whether they like it or not.
Who would take care of him if not for Nam Jin?
Listen carefully.
I told you I'd accept you as Seung Joo's boyfriend...
if you become the successor of Hyunkang.
I'm a very conservative person.
I won't forgive you if she gets pregnant before marriage,
so mark my words.
I understand, Mr. Han.
Please focus on work. I beg you.
Don't waste time worrying about other things.
All right, Dad.
What happened to the third sample?
Do the colors look okay?
Yes, but because it's natural textile,
it isn't very durable.
You need to come up with a solution for that.
What? What do you mean the machine stopped?
Sales for the second design was increasing.
What are we supposed to do if you stop production?
Yes, I get it.
I'll inform my boss and get back to you.
What is it? Did Inko's machine stop?
Yes.
I had a bad feeling about it.
What is it? Did something happen?
Inko's machine that was producing our second design stopped.
I was nervous because their facilities are old.
Then we need to find a different factory.
The thing is...
Minhan is the only factory that has appropriate facilities,
but they won't take our orders.
Who said that? Was it Mr. Han?
Who talked to him?
Mr. Choi went to meet him last time.
He was turned down right away.
The sales number was slowly increasing.
It's over if we stop now.
What should we do, Ms. Choi?
I'll figure this out,
so don't say anything to Mr. Choi.
What are you going to do?
I'll meet him in person and sort this out.
How is Bang Cheol Sang doing lately?
He may act immature, but he's punctual.
His attitude at work has gotten much better.
I didn't see him two days ago. Was it his day off?
He said he had to urgently meet someone in Pyeongtaek,
so he changed his day off with Mr. Park.
- Pyeongtaek? - Yes.
All right. You are dismissed.
Okay.
Secretary Kim, Ahn Hyun Joo, the nurse we met yesterday,
works at Jeil Hospital in Pyeongtaek, right?
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Find out if she worked two days ago...
and if she did, check the hospital's CCTV.
Watch the ones in the lobby and coffee shop closely.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
I may catch him if I'm lucky.
I told you, you can't barge in like that.
What's this?
I came because I have something to tell you.
Could you get us some tea?
- Have a seat. - Okay.
What brings you to Minhan, Ms. Choi?
I know.
I didn't think I'd ever be back here.
I'm quite busy,
so please get straight to the point and leave.
I heard you turned down the production orders...
- of our team. - Yes.
I suffered because of you. I can't work for you.
You dare turn down the orders Si Woo placed.
Did you think you'd be okay after doing that?
The shares you took by using my brother-in-law...
could have become half the price it was...
because the stock market isn't doing well.
I sold them at the right time...
and invested the money in our facilities.
Thanks to that, we have so much work I can barely breathe.
You paid for the shares and paid my brother-in-law,
but Mr. Choi wasn't able to become the CEO...
and the shares are half the price they used to be.
I believe "you reap what you sow" is the right expression for this.
If Si Woo becomes the successor,
the stock price will rise, so don't worry about it.
Taking our production orders would be better for you.
No, I won't.
I won't take it even if our factory had no work.
All I have is pride.
Look, Mr. Han.
I'm Choi Soo Hee.
All it takes is a call...
and I can stop everyone from working with you.
I'm capable of that.
You don't want to stop running a business, do you?
Are you threatening me?
Of course not.
Think of it as advice.
I hope you make a wise decision.
Hey, who are you to threaten...
Man Seok, I mean my boss?
Aren't you afraid of anything?
You're ignorant and vulgar.
You shouldn't hire someone like her to be your secretary.
Ignorant and vulgar?
Do you want me to tear you apart today?
Oh, she's your wife.
What?
My goodness.
What's this? Did she just ignore me?
Goodness, how can she be so rude?
I don't believe it.
Go in.
The previous owner suddenly got eye surgery...
and had to rent it out.
How much are the deposit and the monthly rent?
It's cheap. 20,000 for deposit and the rent is 600 dollars.
Also, she's handing over the sewing machine...
and equipment with it.
She's only asking for 5,000 dollars for it.
All right. I'll sign right away.
It also has a small room in the back...
and it won't be uncomfortable for you to stay.
She had several regulars, so you can open right away.
She used to be very good.
Take a look around.
Isn't Ms. Choi at work yet?
Yes, I think she'll go straight home when she's done running errands.
Gosh, it's my day off tomorrow.
Can you hand this to her?
Okay. What is it?
That's none of your business.
She'll know if you tell her it's from Bang Cheol Sang.
Okay.
Oh, right. Give it to her in person.
You can't leave it on her desk for other employees to see.
All right.
Well, Ms. Yoo, I'm sorry,
but could you buy some digestive pills for me?
My stomach is a little upset.
Of course, Mr. Heo.
- Shall I buy the liquid one too? - That would be even better.
Here you go.
(Receipt)
- Shall I make you tteokbokki? - Yes.
You startled me.
Dad and Mom. What's this?
Hello. What's with the confetti?
We heard that Dae Sik confessed his love to Yeon Ji.
That's right.
Then was yesterday your first day as a couple?
Mother, do you know that expression?
Of course, I do. I keep up with new words.
Congratulations.
Yesterday wasn't our first day as a couple.
To be exact, we've been dating for 17 days.
But I confessed my love yesterday.
Has it been 17 days already?
17 days?
Then did you two talk about your feelings for each other?
Actually, when I caught a bad cold,
my sweet Dae Sik attended to me with so much affection.
So I fell for him.
You heard her, right, honey?
She called him "my sweet Dae Sik".
Yeon Jin called our son Dae Sik...
"my sweet Dae Sik".
Oh, dear. Goodness gracious.
Who would have known...
such a sweet girl like Yeon Ji would like Dae Sik?
Dae Sik, my dream...
has come true.
I wouldn't have any regrets if I die tomorrow.
Don't say such a thing, honey.
You should see Dae Sik having children and living a happy life.
- You're right. - Also, you said when Yeon Ji...
has a baby, you'd buy her a building.
- Yes. - Goodness.
We'll need much more money when we have a grandchild,
so you have to earn a lot of money from now on.
Oh, right. Of course. Of course, I will.
Do you know why I make money?
I make money to make my wife...
and my son Dae Sik happy.
When I die, all my money will be Dae Sik's.
If you keep going, I'll feel uncomfortable.
We will try to keep our relationship happy, Father and Mother.
- Okay. - All right.
How did Dae Sik confess his love?
- I'm dying to know. - Me too.
I gave her a ring and played the guitar.
What is he saying?
Anyway, I'm so happy.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
- You'll eat dinner, right? - I'll wash up and come back.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you for lending me money.
I will repay you the money at least a small amount from next month.
Please don't say anything to Mr. Choi.
You... Explain this.
Did you lend money to Jin Ah?
Have you been in touch with her all this time?
(It's My Life)
- A ruse? - If Jin Ah is determined...
to seduce Nam Jin, he might fall for her.
- This will be our last contract. - Mr. Han.
I think she's really going to make our company go bankrupt.
I hate you dozens of times a day,
but then I miss you hundreds of times.
Which one do you take after?
I hope you take after your dad.
