(It's My Life)
By any chance, did the late Mr. Ahn...
have another woman?
No. From what I know, he didn't.
He was a very faithful man.
Once, we had drinks together.
That day, he lamented...
having to marry another woman instead of Ms. Choi.
When Ms. Choi gave birth,
did you visit her at the hospital?
No, I couldn't.
I was in Japan at the time for the Korea-Japan Fashion Show,
which takes place in August every year.
Pardon? In August?
Wasn't Mr. Choi born on July 17?
That's probably his lunar birthday.
She wanted his birthday to precede Nam Jin's...
to be considered as the eldest son of the family,
so she probably put his lunar birthday on his birth certificate.
You know how Ms. Choi is.
Right, I understand.
By the way,
Why are you asking about something that happened 30 years ago?
I requested to reinvestigate the case of Nam Jin's abduction.
It seems that Ms. Choi...
has something to do with it.
What? Ms. Choi does?
Then is this why Ms. Choi was summoned...
by prosecution?
Yes. That's correct.
As soon as the sales for the third contest stabilizes,
I was planning to get surgery for the liver transplant.
However, you're the one who ruined everything.
So as soon as the sales for the third contest stabilizes,
he'll get the surgery?
Then...
I'll just have to help them do well in sales.
Call Mr. Ahn and Mr. Lee of Team Two...
to my office.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
If Seon Hui testifies and reveal the audio file...
at the board meeting, it'll be game over.
Would Ms. Choi let that happen?
I think she'll probably...
You think what?
The emergency board meeting has been canceled.
See? She canceled the meeting.
Oh, my. Seung Joo,
you have quite a hunch.
We can't back off just because she canceled the meeting.
I agree with you.
If we let it go like this, we'll avoid penalty.
However, our team who worked so hard on this project...
will be blamed for causing the consumers harm...
by a ridiculous mistake and damaging Hyunkang's reputation.
Exactly. We know what kind of person you are, Mr. Ahn.
We won't let you suffer such a disgrace like that.
Then what are you going to do?
- We'll call a board meeting again. - We'll call a board meeting again.
Will you call a board meeting again and reveal everything?
Yes. When everything is revealed,
she may be able to avoid legal punishment,
but she won't be able to avoid moral criticism.
If we get lucky, we might be able to drag her down from her position.
Really?
She caused the company big damage as an executive,
so she should resign.
I'm sure Ms. Choi will try to offer a deal at this point.
A deal?
She'll probably let you know that she canceled the board meeting...
and try to win you over, Mr. Ahn.
Mr. Ahn and Mr. Lee,
Ms. Choi wants to see you briefly.
You see, I can see right through Ms. Choi.
Mr. Ahn, you can do well, right? Good luck.
So is July 17, 1989, in the lunar calendar...
August 18 in the solar calendar?
That's correct.
If it's August 18,
was he born on the same day as Nam Jin?
Yes.
Ms. Choi and Si Woo...
are not blood-related.
However, the late Mr. Ahn Seok Ho...
and Si Woo are blood-related.
It doesn't seem like the late Mr. Ahn Young Gyu...
had another woman.
So Si Woo and Nam Jin...
were born...
on the same day at the same hospital?
Sir, Mr. Heo?
On August 18,
at the same hospital...
If two grandsons of the late Chairman Ahn...
were born on the same day at the same hospital...
No way. Are you saying that the two of them were switched?
Are you all right?
I... I'm fine.
Mr. Kim, arrange a DNA test...
for Ms. Choi and Nam Jin immediately.
Yes, sir.
Welcome. Have a seat.
Why did you want to see us?
I canceled the emergency board meeting.
Pardon me?
As I heard the recording yesterday,
I clearly remembered that I did say what I said.
To be fair, I am partly responsible,
so I don't want the two of you to suffer damages...
because of what happened.
The recording made you remember it?
Are you expecting me to believe such a lie?
I understand that you must be disappointed, Mr. Lee.
But you're taking me wrong.
Seven years ago, we used azo dyes for women's clothes.
The colors were very nice,
and it made the fabrics more durable, so we got good reviews.
Is that true?
You can easily check if it was true. Why would I be lying?
So?
Why on earth did you ask us to see you?
I will compensate part of the loss you suffered.
I heard you spent your own money on the cost of damage.
Also, neither of you will get any disciplinary...
or be suspended because of this incidence.
However,
since someone should take responsibility, how about...
we cut your salary for the next six months, Nam Jin?
No. That's not necessary.
Go forward with the board meeting as planned.
What do you mean I should go forward with the meeting?
I think you want to hide how you were involved in this issue.
But I don't want that now.
Nam Jin.
Let's clarify the truth of everything thoroughly,
and I will get the disciplinary for the mistake.
If that happens,
you'll have to prepare yourself to resign from your position as well.
What are you saying?
Are you telling me to give up on my position...
as a managing director just because I recommended the wrong dye?
All the directors at the meeting...
will know that it wasn't just a mistake.
In order to make your son the successor of the company,
you even damaged Hyunkang's reputation...
and sabotaged your opponent team.
Don't you think that's morally unacceptable?
Half of the board are on my side.
Also, I already canceled the board meeting.
How are you going to call it again?
I'll talk to Mr. Heo.
He's the CEO of this company now.
I'm sure he's qualified to call a board meeting.
We'll be off now.
Do you know what Nam Jin hates the most?
It's causing harm to the people he loves.
And you did exactly what he hates.
You want me to resign?
Does he think my position will tarnish just because of that?

On August 18,
at the same hospital...
If two grandsons of the late Chairman Ahn...
were born on the same day at the same hospital...
No way. Are you saying that the two of them were switched?
(Chief Legal Officer Heo Chung San)
- Well... Have a seat. - Okay.
I have something to say to you, Mr. Heo.
Please call an emergency board meeting again.
Mr. Heo?
Oh, right. What did you say...
Did you ask me to call an emergency board meeting again?
Yes.
The reason you're unlike yourself, letting everyone know about this...
must be because of your teammates. Am I right?
Yes.
I hate seeing those whom I love...
being hurt by such evil deeds.
Every time I see you,
I'm grateful for Ms. Yang.
She raised you to be a man of such great integrity.
Right, my mom is a wonderful woman.
Yes.
Let me ask you this.
If a crab, which walks sideways, grew up thinking...
that a crawfish, which usually crawls forward, was its mother,
would the crab be able to crawl forward...
just like it learned from its mother?
Pardon me?
It was nothing.
You should get back to work.
I'd like to donate my liver to Si Woo after the board meeting.
Please take good care of my team members while I'm gone.
Sure, you have my word.
Great. I'll be off, then.
This must be so hard for you.
Thank you.
- Take care. - Thank you.
You won't be able to go on with your life without Si Woo.
I won't even see you if anything bad happens to Si Woo.
So you must make sure he gets the surgery...
no matter what.
I'm only going to think about you and Woo Jin for the time being.
People can call me shameless...
and selfish. I don't care.
If I can save you,
I'll do anything and everything.
Jin Ah, what brings you here?
I heard my team is short-staffed at the moment.
I came to help them even just for a few hours.
We're on our way to the hospital. Do you want to join us?
Well...
Nam Jin, can we talk for a minute?
Sure.
Shall I give you guys some privacy?
Yes, please. I want to speak with Nam Jin alone.
- I'm sorry, Seung Joo. - Don't be.
Go ahead, Nam Jin.
I'll wait in the office.
Well...
To be honest, I left out of the blue like that...
because of Ms. Choi.
I thought that would probably be the case.
You had to leave to make Si Woo give up on you.
She confessed to me...
that she abducted you as well.
I knew that too.
Frankly, I was terrified of Ms. Choi.
Maybe not "terrified".
It's probably more right to say that I wasn't confident.
I wasn't confident that I could love Mr. Choi as much as she loves him.
That's why I left.
She desperately wanted you to get out of her son's life.
Why did she reach out to you again?
She even registered your marriage,
so she must've wanted something from you in return.
Right.
She asked me to persuade you to donate your liver to him.
She said you'd do it if I asked you since we've been special friends...
for over 20 years.
But you see,
even though I know why she decided to accept me,
I can't disobey her request...
because I must save Mr. Choi's life.
That being said,
can you please help me out?
You've always said yes whenever I asked you for a favor.
Mr. Choi...
needs the surgery as soon as possible.
He goes into shock and has seizures on a daily basis.
If something bad happens to him,
my baby and I will die as well.
Please, Nam Jin.
Three people's lives depend on your decision.
I'll undergo the surgery right after the board meeting,
so don't ever again say that you'll die.
Really?
A twisted maternal love must also be love after all.
But you see, Ms. Choi is responsible for making Si Woo...
end up like that.
He ended up like that because he overworked himself...
while depending on alcohol after you left him.
I shouldn't have left.
I should've stayed by his side no matter what.
You should protect him from now on.
Make sure he's no longer hurt by that twisted love.
I will.
And...
don't hate Ms. Choi too much.
Now that I'm pregnant, I can understand her a bit better.
For their children,
mothers are not even afraid to jump into a fire pit.
Hey, Jin Ah.
How's Mr. Choi?
He's doing better today.
It must be because our sales have been good.
Our sales have been good indeed.
I mean, how can it not be good when we keep buying everything?
Pardon me?
What do you mean? Buy what?
Goodness, why tell her what she doesn't even need to know?
Just get your work done.
Well, she needs to know as she's part of our team as well.
Oh, Ji Young. We'll probably need to find another warehouse.
- Is it full already? - It's completely full.
Okay.
Mr. Jo, we're running low on cash. Please send some more.
Okay, I'll take care of that now.
What are they talking about?
We're buying our own pieces as many as we can.
Apparently, it's the special sales strategy Ms. Choi came up with.
Don't tell Si Woo.
He's unwell.
If he hears about this, he'll run here right away.
Okay, Mr. Jang.
(Hanguk Hospital)
How are you feeling?
I'm alive, so I can't complain.
I'm sure you're busy with work. You didn't have to come.
You seem more energetic than I expected.
Is it because of Jin Ah?
Yes, that's right.
Jin Ah has been forcing me to eat and been making sure...
I take my medication on time.
You'll get the surgery as soon as the board meeting is done.
Thanks.
That's all I can say to you.
I actually have something to tell you.
What is it?
I'm planning...
to oust Ms. Choi at the board meeting.
- What? - You're well aware of...
the things that she has done for you over the years.
I think we must stop her now.
I heard your team had issues with your sales.
Was it because of my mother?
Yes, that's right.
She was also the one who instigated abducting Nam Jin.
Nam Jin initially said we should keep it from you,
but I insisted that we tell you.
Your mother, whom you love, is turning into a monster...
because of her twisted maternal love for you.
I know you wouldn't want anything to happen further.
Right, I understand.
That must've shocked Si Woo, right?
It's something that he needed to know.
By the way, won't you ask me what I talked about with Jin Ah?
She probably asked you to get the transplant as soon as possible.
You have quite a hunch. How did you know?
Do you think there's anything I don't know about you?
Let's go.
Yes, Dad.
Right now?
- Dad. - Hey. Welcome.
We just started eating.
Oh, my. Why are you having fried chicken with beer?
Earlier today, Mr. Lee and Yeon Sil worked together...
and got a big contract with a Chinese company.
Oh, gosh. Is that why you called us?
I was worried for nothing.
Why? Were you worried that I might cause a scene...
because Nam Jin was tested for a liver transplant?
What?
You were tested, and that's all.
You won't donate your liver, right?
I was going to tell you about it, Mr. Han.
I'm planning to get the liver transplant surgery next week.
That means you're giving part of your liver to him.
My goodness.
You're not the rabbit that gives its liver to the Ocean King in tales.
How will you live your life if you give your liver to him?
I heard that livers...
grow back to 85 percent of its original size in 3 months.
Dad.
Honestly, I'm not happy about this.
But what can I do?
My daughter is in love with this stupid man who's willing to...
donate his liver for those who always try to destroy him.
Thank you, Father.
On the other hand, I thought...
he'll be good to my daughter for the rest of his life...
since he's kind, upright, and honest.
He won't cheat on her for sure.
Thank you, Dad. You're the best.
Seung Joo's mom died during surgery.
You'd have no choice if it's a surgery due to illness.
But never cause Seung Joo grieve by doing things like this again.
Yes, Father. I'll bear that in mind.
Since the atmosphere is good, let's drink.
- Here you go, Mr. Ahn. - Right. Let's drink.
In fact, Nam Jin can't drink a lot.
I'll drink more instead of him.
He can't drink?
I bet his liver is very healthy.
It's delicious. Try it.
- Okay. - It's good.
Yes, Mr. Kim. How did it go?
I received the DNA test result for Ms. Choi and Mr. Ahn.
I'm on my way back to the office.
- I'll be there in 10 minutes. - Okay.
Ms. Choi.
You have to go to the district attorney by 11am today.
11am?
Mr. Heo, you're amazing.
I guess you have nothing to do these days...
seeing how you're trying to drag me into this to the end.
I will find out shortly...
about your relationship with Nam Jin...
whom you stole.
Mr. Heo.
(The probability of paternity is 99.8 percent.)
Mr. Bang will be investigated this afternoon, right?
Yes, sir.
Mr. Bang, it's Heo Chung San.
Please meet me at the cafe near my office now.
Right now?
But I have to go to the district attorney this afternoon.
It's important. I really need to confirm this with you right now.
Welcome.
You told me not to show up near the office.
Why did you call me up?
And what do you want to ask me about?
Gosh. Did the cat get your tongue?
30 years ago, on the day when you stole Nam Jin,
did you check if the mother's name was Kim So Young?
I think I did.
What do you mean you think you did?
Well, I was so nervous that day.
So I drank two bottles of soju before going to the hospital.
Anyway, the name of the mother written on the baby's wristband...
was Kim So Young. Why do you ask?
Is something wrong?
What about the wristband?
Do you still have the wristband by any chance?
Of course not.
I wouldn't want everyone in town know that I stole a baby.
I threw it out right away.
Because of the two of you,
two young men's lives were ruined overnight.
Are you two not afraid of the consequences?
What?
(It's My Life)
What do you want to say, Son?
I think you should resign before the emergency board meeting.
They've been getting bulk orders of hundreds of pieces of clothes.
And all of it were paid in cash.
- Could Team One be buying it? - Buying their own products?
Didn't you instigate Bang Cheol Sang to abduct Ahn Nam Jin?
Listen. Show me evidence.
Solid evidence that I can't deny.
