(It's My Life)
With a woman?
Do you know who she is by any chance?
Yes. She was one of our patients that just had a baby.
Since she was a single mom, no one visited her.
She was very pretty as far as I remember.
Is she the one?
I'm not sure.
I can't remember her face.
But her name... What was it?
She had the same name as the first Korean female spy.
I heard a radio program about that female spy back then.
The first female spy in Korea must be...
Is her name Choi Soo Hee?
Choi Soo Hee? Choi Soo Hee?
I think that's her name. Choi Soo Hee.
You don't even have to check the judges' evaluation.
I must do something about this.
I'll call an urgent board meeting...
and request to hold the third round again.
The result of this round is invalid.
Come to your senses.
It's over now.
We lost. We clearly lost.
Why can't you accept it?
How can I?
If I accept it, that means I accept that Ahn Nam Jin, that jerk,
is the successor of Hyunkang.
How do you expect me to accept it?
Then what are you going to do?
The result came out, and the other team is winning in sales too.
Unless there's an unexpected change, Mr. Ahn is the successor.
Get out. Leave if you're going to keep saying things like that!
All right. I'm sorry.
So please stop it.
It's not healthy to get worked up like this.
The other team won.
It was fair.
How could he win without experience or knowledge of running a business?
This can't be true. There must be a conspiracy.
I don't want to be any more pathetic.
I'll submit my resignation letter tomorrow.
Resignation letter?
I don't want to hear it. Don't say anything.
We still have a chance to win in sales.
We can turn the table around by overwhelming them in sales.
I can make it happen.
You trust me, right?
No.
I lost.
Don't be so weak now!
I didn't raise you like this!
Mr. Choi!
- Si Woo. - Mr. Choi.
- Wake up. - Si Woo, wake up.
- Mr. Choi. - What's going on?
Si Woo!
Si Woo. Si Woo.
What's going on, Mr. Jang?
What happened to Mr. Choi?
I'll call you when I find out something.
Oh, no.
Si Woo.
(Emergency Room)
What do I do, Mr. Jang?
Nothing bad will happen to Si Woo, right?
Why would you say such a thing?
Nothing bad will happen.
Let's trust the medical staff and wait.
Mommy is right here, Si Woo.
You'll be all right.
I... I will let nothing bad happen to you.
Secretary Ko, I like your fashion style these days.
Is this outfit new?
No. I had it altered just as you advised.
Doesn't it look so nice?
It does. It looks very nice.
You look so professional now.
She's so talented for such a young lady.
Seon Gyu said that she used to be a designer at a large company.
I wonder why she quit her job and run a clothes repair shop.
Hi, Seung Joo.
Dad, we won. Our team won.
What? Is that true?
Did Mr. Ahn really win?
Yes. If there's no change in sales,
Nam Jin will be the successor of Hyunkang.
Great. You did well. Good job.
Right. We should celebrate it.
Sorry?
Sure. I'll treat everyone to a meal.
Yes. Okay. Bye.
Did Mr. Ahn's team win?
Yes, they won.
Seung Joo said that they won because I made their clothes well.
That brat.
She always knows what to say to me.
Choi Soo Hee, that witch, lost. That feels so good.
This is why you must be nice to others always.
Seung Joo will become the head lady of Hyunkang soon.
My goodness.
Gosh. This is so depressing.
We lost the third round,
and Mr. Choi collapsed.
Gosh. Our team was destroyed in an instant.
He's been looking unwell.
Could he be seriously ill?
Why would you say such an ominous thing?
No.
I'm sure that he collapsed because he overworked himself.
He was distressed after Jin Ah disappeared like that.
That must have caused this.
Shouldn't Jin Ah know that Mr. Choi is sick?
No. He could be hospitalized for only a few days.
What should I do?
Yeon Ji, let's plan a sales strategy without them.
Even though the captain isn't here, we should keep the ship afloat.
Wait. I'll step out briefly.
Where are you going?
I placed an order for the dyes to Minhan.
It was worth asking for advice from an expert with 30 years' experience.
The color is nice, and it helps the color...
last longer than other dyes.
Mr. Lee, you're on a roll these days.
Let's keep the quantity to a minimum for now...
and produce a large quantity when we sell them in stores.
Yes. I already sent the purchase order for a minimum quantity.
Come in.
Mr. Ahn and Ms. Han, may I speak with you briefly?
What? Mr. Choi collapsed?
Yes. Paramedics came and took him to a hospital.
His liver enzyme level was so high it could be dangerous.
I guess his condition worsened.
Since Jin Ah disappeared, Mr. Choi...
has been very distressed.
I know. He also looked unwell.
Mr. Ahn.
If you can reach Jin Ah, please tell her.
Jin Ah should know about this.
Actually, I met up with her once,
but she blocked calls for my number, so I can't reach her.
My goodness.
I don't know why she had to leave,
but Jin Ah was deeply in love with Mr. Choi.
If she hears about Mr. Choi, she'll go to see him.
I'll look for her.
Dr. Kim, what's wrong with Si Woo?
On top of his damaged liver, it seems overwork and stress...
caused acute liver cirrhosis.
Acute liver cirrhosis?
The liver becomes as hard as a rock, so it can't function properly.
If his condition worsened this much,
he must've been in a great deal of pain. Didn't you know about it?
I didn't know.
I really had no idea.
What should I do?
What should I do to help Si Woo recover?
I'll see what I can do.
We've given him emergency treatment.
We'll keep checking his condition and move him to a patient room.
I'm planning to gather the information I collected...
and officially request for a reinvestigation.
Look Sun Ja.
Wouldn't you like to leave with me?
Someone is even going to pay me to start a business.
Mr. Heo.
This is Nam Jin's mom.
I have something to tell you.
What?
Are you saying Bang Cheol Sang asked you to leave with him?
Yes.
He said someone will pay him to start a business.
If he disappears,
won't you be able to go forward with the reinvestigation?
Probably.
It was right for you to tell me. I'll look into it.
Come in.
Oh, it's you.
- What happened? - You were right.
Mr. Choi was born at Hope OB-GYN Clinic.
Is that so?
All right.
I may not be able to put her in jail,
but it's enough to make her leave Hyunkang.
- Did Bang Cheol Sang come to work? - It's his day off.
It is?
Then tell him to come to my office as soon as he gets to work tomorrow.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
The head of security told me...
Mr. Choi was taken to the hospital in an ambulance earlier.
What? Mr. Choi?
What for?
I don't know the details, but he was unconscious and looked bad.
Is that so?
He probably went to a hospital related to Hyunkang.
Check it and set up a meeting with the doctor.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
No matter how sick he is,
Si Woo didn't let out as much as a groan.
How much pain must he have been in?
After Jin Ah left,
I think it rapidly got worse.
He didn't say anything,
but he looked like he was in great pain.
I'm going to save him.
I'm going to do everything I can...
to save him.
How dare you come here!
Of course I came because Si Woo is sick.
After all, he's my one and only brother.
Brother? You must be kidding me.
This is all your fault.
This happened to Si Woo because you came into our lives.
Get out of my sight immediately.
What is wrong with you, Ms. Choi.
Mr. Ahn and Seung Joo are here because they are worried.
Worried?
Don't you mean happy that they got what they wanted?
It's not like that.
Why do you have it all wrong?
All wrong?
Stop being ridiculous.
How is Mr. Choi being sick Nam Jin's fault?
Ridiculous?
You plotted with Heo Chung San...
and rigged the results of the third contest.
Did you think...
you could take Si Woo's place like that?
Who are you accusing of rigging the results?
That's enough, Seung Joo.
Ms. Choi is in shock right now.
Please understand.
How is Si Woo?
Is it quite serious, Mr. Jang?
Don't pretend you're worried.
Si Woo will be okay.
The third sales?
Look forward to it.
Si Woo will be...
the last man laughing.
I hope Si Woo will get better.
Also, I want him to be happy.
What happened, Mom?
You suddenly collapsed.
How do you feel? Should I call for a doctor?
No.
Does it look very bad for me?
No.
You've overworked yourself.
The doctor says you'll get better soon if you get treated well.
In my dream,
Jin Ah visited me.
She cried...
without saying anything.
I wanted to caress her hair.
I wanted to...
hear her voice.
But she stood away from me...
and just cried.
Jin Ah...
Please find Jin Ah for me.
Mom.
You can find her.
I miss her.
I miss her so much.
(Hanguk Hospital)
Fibrosis and liver nodules are rapidly increasing...
in his hardened liver.
We're considering a stem cell treatment.
Then he can recover, right?
We'll have to try it.
Getting a liver transplant is the best in his situation,
but we need a donor, and there will be a long wait.
A liver transplant?
Yes, I'll put Si Woo's name on the list...
for an organ transplant from brain-dead patients.
I'll donate my liver.
There's nothing I can't do for my child.
I can give him everything, whether it's my liver, heart, or eye.
It may be better than someone else's,
but there's a low possibility that you're a match.
I'll be a match.
I gave birth to him. There's no way it isn't compatible.
If you insist,
we'll do a test.
Yes, Dr. Kim.
Come in.
Hello. Have a seat.
It's very cold, isn't it?
Is the work okay?
What? My goodness.
I know you aren't worried about me,
so just treat me like you used to.
Why did you want to see me?
You do know Nam Jin won the third contest, right?
What? Nam Jin won?
Really?
Unless there is an unexpected change,
Nam Jin will become the successor of Hyunkang.
The late Mr. Ahn would have been very happy about it.
So what?
If Nam Jin becomes the successor of Hyunkang,
will I get any crumbs off of his table?
I bet I'll still be working as a security guard.
Is that why you wanted to move overseas?
What? Who told you that?
Did Sun Ja tell you that by any chance?
My goodness. I can't believe her.
I was just saying it,
but she already told you about it.
I heard that someone promised to finance your business.
That person must be the one I'm thinking of.
Well, I really have no idea...
what you're talking about.
I have requested to forbid you to leave the country.
It will be hard for you to go overseas...
in a legal way.
So what?
Are you saying that you will be satisfied...
only when you send me back to prison by requesting a reinvestigation?
No. It's not that I want to send you to prison.
I want Ms. Choi to pay for what she has done.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for you,
Nam Jin might have passed away...
30 years ago. Am I right?
Seriously, if you know that,
why would you keep corner me like this?
Now, think about this wisely.
Will you get some petty cash to go overseas...
and live in hiding?
Or will you live a wealthy life with pride as the stepfather...
of the successor of Hyunkang?
Since Nam Jin is soft-hearted,
he didn't agree with the reinvestigation.
I'm sure...
that he didn't want to send his stepfather to prison.
Even if you're tried,
if you say someone else made you steal him...
and you raised him for 30 years,
it will be taken into consideration.
The decision is up to you.
While I'm gone,
the caregiver will look after you.
I'll take care of a few things at work and come back.
Okay.
Don't think about anything and get some rest.
You pushed yourself too hard.
Don't worry about the company.
I'll take care of everything.
We can turn the table by increasing our sales.
I actually feel relieved.
I was wondering in fear what would be left for me...
if I lost Hyunkang too.
I think maybe I tried to get what was never mine...
from the beginning.
Focus on the recovery now.
- Please take good care of him. - Of course.
Please don't worry about him.
He already gave up.
That's not acceptable.
Hey, Reporter Seo, it's me.
Did you publish the news article?
Okay. Thank you. Oh, right.
Please keep writing follow-up stories about customers...
who complain skin problems such as atopic dermatitis.
Yes. Thank you. I'm counting on you.
Come in.
How is Mr. Choi doing?
He'll be all right.
Oh, right. Arrange a meeting with Team One.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Why are you all so downcast?
Did something happen?
We're in trouble, Mr. Ahn.
A large amount of formaldehyde was detected in our clothes.
Seeing that the article came out in half a day after the launch,
it's written for a malicious purpose.
She's right. It means they got the component analysis result.
How can they release this article right after our product launch?
What's the cause?
There must be the reason why formaldehyde was detected.
Actually, it seems to be because of the dye.
What are you saying?
Why was formaldehyde detected?
Everything was normal according to the analysis I got from Vietnam.
There was no problem.
Customs always check...
if dyes contain formaldehyde.
Our dyes were cleared by customs.
There couldn't be a mistake like this.
Who is the reporter who wrote this article?
I will go meet the reporter in person...
and find out what happened.
I will lead Team One on behalf of Mr. Choi for a while.
If we get high sales,
we can turn the tables.
Ms. Choi, formaldehyde was detected...
in the other team's children's clothes.
It says so many customers complain...
vomiting, diarrhea, and atopic dermatitis.
The universe is helping us.
What did I tell you?
I said we could turn the tables, right?
However,
if there's a problem with the other team's clothes,
our sales will drop as well.
Since they're from the same brand, and consumers...
don't know which one is which team's clothes.
A news article about our team will come out tomorrow.
"The organic clothes launched by Team One..."
"that Director Choi Si Woo of Hyunkang leads..."
"were made with eco-friendly materials..."
"through the process that is good for the human body."
"They are getting enthusiastic responses from consumers."
Would that be good enough?
I feel bad for the other team,
but this is our last chance.
Let's do everything we can.
- Yes, sir. - Yes. I'll send the purchase order.
Ahn Nam Jin.
Your team's sales of the third round will hit rock-bottom.
I already told you...
that you're no match for Si Woo.
Come in.
What is it?
I found something interesting about you.
You gave birth...
to Mr. Choi at Hope OB-GYN Clinic.
(It's My Life)
Tell us, Mr. Lee. Who was it?
The dye you recommended caused the problem!
Why are you blaming me when you used it without checking everything?
My baby.
Nothing bad happened to your dad, right?
How did it happen?
- I deserve to die. - Dying won't solve anything.
Do whatever you can do to fix it instead of pouring your heart out.
