(It's My Life)
Do you know why Mr. Choi is sick?
This is all your fault.
What goes around comes around. Because of your sins,
Mr. Choi is sick now.
Hitting a person...
is also a sin.
- Please leave. - Let go.
I'll walk out of this room on my own.
Once the reinvestigation starts, the police will summon you.
What will Mr. Choi think if he finds out about it?
Si Woo will trust me.
He'll know that I have nothing to do with that incident.
That's strange.
Why is it that I hear...
doubt in your voice?
Ms. Yoo.
Don't let anyone on her team come into my office ever again.
Got it, ma'am.
And tell Mr. Bang...
to come to my office now.
Sure.
(Hanguk Hospital)
It's all my fault.
I chose the wrong fabric dye.
That's why this happened.
I sincerely apologize.
Just apologizing isn't enough.
What about my kid?
Don't you see how irritated her skin is?
Fluid is oozing from my kid's skin as she's been scratching the area.
What will you do if she gets a scar from this?
My daughter threw up and had diarrhea all night.
She couldn't sleep at all.
We're sorry. We sincerely apologize.
Who are you?
I manage the team at Hyunkang that made the clothes.
My name is Ahn Nam Jin.
I see. You're the manager of that team?
Good. I'm happy you came.
You advertised that it was made with soy fabric...
with chitosan added.
- How could you do this to kids? - Please calm down.
It's all my fault.
I'll get the punishment I deserve and go to jail if that's needed,
so please calm down and take it out on me.
Mom, I'm scared.
- Mommy... - Please calm down.
The kids are getting scared.
Why don't we sit down and talk?
The children's recovery comes first, you know.
Please let go of him.
It's okay. Don't cry.
They say that you need to take a break when you fall.
We should've just stayed at home today.
I should be here.
We might get a call, saying they're canceling the shutdown order.
I'm just upset because you're so disheartened.
- Oh, come in and have a seat. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
You can put the factory back in operation starting tomorrow.
What? Are you serious?
What about an alternative for the dye? Did you look into it?
Yes, I found out that a Korean company recently launched...
a fabric dye with zinc oxide.
It's on the expensive side, but it's antibiotic,
offers UV protection, and even repels moisture.
We'll take care of the children's hospital feels and treatment costs.
If scarring occurs,
we'll take care of the treatment costs for that as well.
You scarred our kids physically and mentally.
You think paying for their treatment will resolve this?
Wake up.
People like you who have no conscience whatsoever...
shouldn't be allowed to run a business!
We're victims in this too.
The truth will be revealed soon.
We worked very hard on making those clothes.
This wouldn't have happened if we hadn't chosen that dye.
I'll stay at the hospital starting tomorrow...
until the kids are discharged.
I'll read storybooks to them.
And when you're busy,
I'll act as their guardian.
We need nothing of the sort, so leave now.
Please wait.
We'll leave after apologizing to the children.
Please let us do that.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I'm terribly sorry for making you suffer.
I told you to leave Korea as soon as possible. What's keeping you?
He said he had requested to forbid me to leave the country.
How am I supposed to leave Korea?
I'm like a rat in a cage.
Don't talk as if everything is okay.
You could stow away...
or get a passport in someone else's name.
You should try to figure something out.
No. I'm not leaving Korea.
What do you mean by that?
Is it because you want more money?
If you leave Korea, I'll give you more money.
I said I could get a big lump sum by selling a building in Gangnam.
She's anxious.
Do you think I, Bang Cheol Sang, will leave for only 300,000 dollars?
If Nam Jin inherits Hyunkang,
I'll be the chairman's stepfather.
I'm trying to figure out...
from which one I would benefit more.
Stop making me worry and leave immediately.
I'll send you the money on the day you leave.
If you insist, I will find another way.
Ms. Choi asked you to find me?
Yes.
Please tell her you don't know where I am.
Mr. Choi is sick.
What do you mean he's sick?
What is the problem?
How serious is his condition?
I don't know the details.
All I know is that he's very sick.
And he misses you very much.
What do you want me to tell Ms. Choi?
Please tell her I won't see him.
Okay. I'll tell her.
Oh, dear. Goodness gracious.
Your face looks so haggard.
How are you feeling?
Hello. You're here.
I made shepherd's purse porridge for you.
I heard that chive kimchi and wild chive...
are good for liver health.
And this is striped maple tea.
Drink some whenever you get thirsty.
Thank you.
I've been missing your food, Ms. Yang.
- Mom. - Nam Jin.
You said you guys were busy. How did you come here?
The child victims are treated in this hospital.
I wanted to see Si Woo while I was here.
Child victims? What are you talking about?
We have a problem with our product because of someone you know.
Right.
It's not appropriate to talk about it in front of a patient.
Nam Jin, I have something to ask you.
Sure. We'll get going now.
If you crave anything, just let me know, okay?
- I hope you get well soon. - Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Please enjoy.
Why did you ask me to see you?
Well... It's about Mr. Choi.
- Is he sick? - Yes.
How do you know that?
Is he in serious condition?
I heard he has acute liver cirrhosis.
I paid him a visit with my team members yesterday.
His face was yellow.
He seemed very sick.
That's why she's looking for Jin Ah.
Who? Are you talking about Ms. Choi by any chance?
What do you mean you have a problem with your product...
because of someone I know?
There was a problem with the dye we were recommended.
You don't have to worry about it.
Just focus on your recovery.
Nam Jin.
Do you really not know where Jin Ah is?
No. She hasn't called me since the last time I met her.
I lost the contest.
I also lost the chance to become the successor of Hyunkang.
I think she hates me having nothing but illness...
and that's why she's hiding.
You know that Jin Ah is not that kind of person.
I know.
But I can't help feeling afraid.
What if Jin Ah sees me like this...
and says she doesn't love me anymore?
What if she says she doesn't want to see me anymore?
I'm sure she wouldn't say that.
When Jin Ah only heard your name,
her eyes got teary.
I could feel her sincere love...
for you.
So give her some time.
She'll come back as if nothing happened.
I really hope that will happen.
Come in.
Welcome. Have a seat.
Have you had a chance to think about what I said?
My gosh. What do you keep telling me to think about?
Gosh. Seriously.
You won't be able to leave Korea.
And when the investigation begins,
you won't be able to avoid getting arrested.
You see, since I was a little child,
I have never thought about anything.
But honestly, I have too much to think about lately.
What makes it hard for you to make up your mind?
Well, if I just seal my lips,
I will get up to 500,000 dollars.
If I go to prison without having a chance to spend the money,
that would be so sad.
On the other hand, if I come clean...
just as you said, and it's taken into consideration,
my prison time will be reduced,
but I'll lose all the money.
I can't decide what I should do. This is driving me nuts.
How could you say that as Nam Jin's stepfather...
who claims he raised Nam Jin for 30 years?
I mean, I have 15 previous convictions,
and I'm almost 60 now.
I need some money at least to live with confidence.
If I let you keep the money you received...
without compromising your conscience...
and help you avoid imprisonment,
will you do as I say?
My goodness. Of course, I will.
Do you have a good plan?
I think we should change this color.
Understood.
- You read the news article, right? - Yes.
Yes. Reporter Seo wrote highly of us.
However, we still get a lot of inquiries through our homepage.
They're wondering if our product also has a problem...
since it's from the same brand.
We hired Model Min Hye Yeon, and the ad is being produced.
I think image advertising will help to change their thoughts.
I like the colors of your design, Yeon Ji.
It makes me feel like I'm standing in a flower garden.
Thank you.
The total sales figure will decide the winning team.
The 3 pieces of the other team's clothes are worth 1 piece of ours.
If we overwhelm them in sales,
we can be the final winner.
Of course. We must win.
Let's surprise Mr. Choi with a good result...
- when he comes back. - Yes, sir.
I need to go to the hospital, so I'm leaving for the day.
Okay. I'll stop by after work.
Tomorrow?
All I do is cook at home. I have no reason to be busy.
Okay. I'll see you at your office tomorrow, Mr. Heo.
All right.
Did he ask you to come to his office tomorrow?
He said he needs to discuss something with me...
in regard to Cheol Sang.
Did that man cause trouble again?
Nam Jin is running around, trying to sort things out,
and Si Woo is sick.
If that man causes trouble now, I won't let it slide. I'll...
The results of the leukocyte antigen test...
show that you and Si Woo aren't a match.
I'm sorry.
It's not a match?
You see, I can't drink a single drop of alcohol,
so my liver is very healthy.
I got a full medical checkup recently, and everything was fine.
I'm aware.
It's just that your leukocyte antigens aren't compatible.
If we go ahead with the transplantation,
it's highly likely that adverse reactions will occur.
What do you mean?
Why aren't we compatible?
Ms. Choi, are you Si Woo's birth mother?
Yes, I'm his mom.
There must've been an error.
Please do another test, Dr. Kim.
We'll get the same results even if we repeat the test multiple times.
We should see if any of his siblings or close relatives...
can be a donor.
I'm...
the only one in his immediate family.
How could this happen?
He bled again from his esophagus earlier this afternoon.
And the pruritus keeps getting worse.
I'll obviously do my best to treat his condition,
but at the moment, liver transplant...
is the only real solution.
Please see if you can find a match...
among all donors.
If I can save Si Woo's life,
I don't care how much it costs me.
Okay, I'll look into it.
I'll stay with him today. You can leave.
Okay, thank you.
I'll make sure you can live.
Don't worry about anything.
If I have to grind my bones to save you, I'll gladly do it.
You trust me, right?
We should see if any of his siblings or close relatives...
can be a donor.
Nam Jin.
He's the only person who might be a match if I'm not.
But he'd never do it because of everything I've done to him.
Jin Ah...
Jin Ah.
Jin Ah...
Yes.
Jin Ah.
I've tried talking to her about it, but she doesn't want to meet you.
I'll give you her address. You can visit her in person if you'd like.
Jin Ah will be able to persuade Nam Jin.
Whether Si Woo can live or not depends on this,
so she'll help me.
Gosh, seriously.
What's the matter with you?
Why do you always want to come into my place, knowing I live alone?
I wanted to make sure you didn't have a break-in.
I also wanted to see if you needed any repairs.
So not because you wanted to spend time with me?
How did you know? You caught me.
Do you want a cup of tea?
No, thanks. Give me your hand.
My hand? Here.
This is nice.
I had such a stressful day,
but holding you in my arms like this is melting my fatigue away.
Seeing you getting down on your knees...
in front of the affected children's parents...
made me hate Ms. Choi even more.
We can't blame it entirely on her though.
Mr. Lee is partially responsible as he trusted her suggestion.
I'm also responsible because I completely trusted him with it...
and didn't pay attention.
Still, I can't help but hate her.
Gosh, I couldn't control my temper.
I let it all out earlier today.
To whom? Ms. Choi?
This is all your fault.
What goes around comes around. Because of your sins,
Mr. Choi is sick now.
My goodness.
Gosh, that's too harsh.
I know that I was too harsh on her.
You should really try to swallow any words that may hurt others.
Blurting them out might feel good, but it all comes back to you.
Nam Jin.
Would you be able to appoint me...
as a managing director if you were to inherit Hyunkang?
No.
That's not something I can decide on my own.
Do you want people to say you got it because of me?
Then if we get married,
will you kick Ms. Choi out of your house?
Si Woo and I co-own that house.
I can move out if you can't stand her, but I can't kick her out.
Gosh, are you serious?
You can't even do little things for the woman you love?
They aren't little things.
I can't decide such important matters on my own.
I'm in trouble, then. I totally bluffed in front of her.
Can you at least do one of the two things?
Then...
If you give me a kiss, I'll think about it.
There.
Okay, let's go with the first one. The managing director position.
- Really? - Yes.
Managing director of drinking activities.
It's perfect for you. You can handle a lot of alcohol.
- Hello. - Hello.
Oh, welcome.
I feel bad you ladies have to work this late.
Don't worry about us. It must be so stressful for you.
Who are these ladies?
They're my teammates who have to put up with so much...
because of their clumsy team leader.
All of these toys have been disinfected,
so they can play with them right away.
Did you eat dinner?
I don't even deserve to eat.
Gosh, you should go eat something.
Your voice is hoarse from reading storybooks to our kids all day.
It's their bedtime anyway. You can come back tomorrow.
Then I'll come back early tomorrow morning.
See you all tomorrow.
Good night. Bye, princesses.
- See you tomorrow morning. - Get some rest.
Have a restful night. Let's go.
Well, you ladies can get going.
I have to stop by somewhere.
Take it easy, Mr. Lee.
I'll come straight here tomorrow as well.
All right, get going.
- We'll be off, then. - Bye.
Oh. Hello, Mr. Lee.
- You're here to see Si Woo, right? - Yes.
We've been living in the same house, so I thought I should visit him.
Ms. Choi has done a lot for Seon Hui as well.
Have a seat. Would you like something to drink?
No, it's okay.
What's going on with your team? How did that happen?
Ms. Choi is not behind it, is she?
That doesn't even matter now.
When this situation is resolved,
I'll submit my resignation letter.
I'll also move out of Nam Jin's house.
Do you really have to do that?
I'm too ashamed to face Nam Jin...
after everything he's done for me.
That makes it even harder for me to forgive Ms. Choi.
If Ms. Choi really did it,
she must be agonizing now.
She thought of you as a great friend.
Ms. Choi doesn't need any friends.
All she needs is Si Woo.
She said she could throw herself into the fiery pit for Si Woo.
Then why would it be hard for her to push away a man like me?
What are you saying?
Did my mom do something wrong again?
No. That's not the case, Si Woo.
She just dumped me.
Get treatment and get well soon.
You're the only one that keeps your mother going.
Mr. Choi is sick.
I don't know the details.
All I know is that he's very sick.
And he misses you very much.
I'm done.
Drinking coffee while you were doing the dishes...
made me feel like a queen.
I'm good at doing the dishes. Would you like to check?
No. I'm sure you did a good job since you're a meticulous person.
Drink your coffee.
Why are you so nice to me?
Even if I get weak or sick...
when I'm old,
I hope you remember the moments like this...
and don't treat me poorly. That's why I'm nice to you.
Okay. Even if you get old and sick,
I'll take good care of you.
Are you serious?
- Promise me. - I promise.
(It's My Life)
If he develops any complications, he can't even get a transplant.
Jin Ah, you're the only one who can convince Nam Jin.
560,000 dollars and the living cost for the next 20 years.
I'll record our conversation from now.
- How dare you ask for his liver? - Seung Joo.
You're the one who broke his heart!
