(It's My Life)
I didn't know that.
That is the hospital's fault.
I'm only guilty of stealing the baby...
according to its nametag.
Why did you do that in the first place?
How could you create such a mess for a small amount of money?
You shouldn't have been born.
Hate the sin,
but you aren't supposed to hate the sinner.
Please help me, Sun Ja.
I was wrong, Sun Ja.
Do you even want to live?
I'd rather just die.
To imagine how shocked Nam Jin will be,
I want to die.
Why would I be shocked?
What are you talking about?
She was talking about how shocked you'd be...
if you find out Bang Cheol Sang stole you from the hospital.
The shock is in the past.
I just want you to tell the truth about what happened...
and turn a new leaf.
Of course.
I'll do that.
You said there was an emergency board meeting today.
What happened to Ms. Choi?
Did she really get fired?
She decided to resign.
Mom, I'll go and wash up. Please get dinner ready for me.
I came home early because I wanted your food.
Okay, I'll make you kimchi jjigae.
- Wash up and come downstairs. - Okay.
You should leave now.
Sun Ja, I'm hungry too.
Can I eat here too?
I don't know when Ms. Choi will be home.
Do you want to run into her and end your life?
My dad has a temper and yells first.
He also sulks easily.
He thinks what he says is the law.
How did you live with him all this time?
So you know.
He has a very unique personality.
How would I not know after living with him for 20 years?
It'll be hard to put up with him.
Why don't you just get a divorce now?
Get a divorce?
He may be impatient,
but the pros of his personality outweigh the cons.
He's considerate, loves me very much,
lets me sleep on his arm all the time,
handsome, smart, and rich.
How do you only say the truth?
I didn't know this would work.
What do you mean all of a sudden?
When I ran away from home...
on the day of your wedding,
Nam Jin said you were wrong.
He couldn't believe how you could get married without telling me.
How could he say that even if it was true?
I was upset he said that about you...
and yelled at him.
Then he asked...
why I was in denial...
when I actually understand you.
Gosh, he's so thoughtful.
I was worried Dad would be alone...
after I get married later,
so I'm thankful for you being here for him.
You shouldn't thank me. I'm the one who is grateful.
Your food always hits the spot.
It's awesome.
- Is it that good? - Yes.
What's with you today, Mom?
Is something wrong?
No, not at all.
I'm just happy to be eating with you for a change.
I'm sorry.
I say I'm busy and don't take good care of you.
I'll try harder from now on.
Ms. Yang opened...
her treasure chest today...
and became emotional.
Treasure chest?
The paper carnation you gave her on Parent's Day,
the drawing you made of her,
cards you wrote her,
letters you wrote her,
and a brooch that was missing a marble.
She collected everything.
I...
am ashamed to face you.
If I found your family earlier,
you wouldn't have struggled as much as you did.
Why would you say I struggled?
I was happy to be your son.
Don't say that.
Your birth mother will be disappointed if she hears that.
When I meet my mom after I die,
I'll ask for her understanding.
Nam Jin,
what is the first thing you want to say when you meet her?
I want to ask how she felt when she gave birth to me.
I wonder if it was a blessing to have me...
and how sad she was after losing me.
Your son isn't Si Woo,
but Ahn Nam Jin.
I'm saying this because I couldn't stand watching...
a mother and her son hate each other any longer.
That's absurd.
It shouldn't be true.
It's impossible.
Ms. Yang, could you make some more shepherd's purse porridge?
Si Woo seems to like it.
Shepherd's purse porridge?
All right.
Did you have dinner, Ms. Choi?
I lost my job of 30 years because of him.
How would I be able to eat?
That's enough.
This is all your fault.
Why are you blaming Nam Jin?
How much will you regret this later?
It'll be too late even if you regret it with all your life.
I don't do anything I'll regret.
I thought that was the best option I had back then.
Also,
I still believe I was right.
(Jin Ah)
Hello, Jin Ah.
There's been a problem, Mother.
What problem?
Mr. Choi is in critical condition.
He was okay earlier.
He went into shock due to a side effect of penicillin.
A side effect of penicillin?
All right. I'll head over right now.
Don't touch me.
I'll drive you to the hospital.
It'll be dangerous for you to drive in this condition.
No. I can go by myself.
Just do as he says.
Why are you so mean?
Nam Jin is worried about you.
I'll get the car ready.
Drink a cup of warm water and come down.
The late Ms. Kim...
once suffered from a crisis because she was also allergic to penicillin.
It's true that Si Woo is Mr. Ahn Seok Ho's grandson.
However, he is not your son.
He is the son of Ms. Kim So Young,
whom you hated and resented so much.
- Hey, Dae Sik. - Yes?
If I become a famous designer,
you'll be happy too, right?
Of course.
I'll be happy if you become successful.
Although I'm a little afraid...
you might not even care about me...
if you become overwhelmingly successful.
My goodness. Do you think of me as that kind of woman?
I am such a loyal woman.
Speaking of which, if I...
moved to Europe...
- Dae Sik, it's me, your dad. - Who... Who is it...
Oh, my dad is here.
Dad and Mom!
- What is this? - Hi.
- Hello. - Please have a seat.
- Okay. - I'll take it.
Oh, dear.
What's this?
- Yeon Ji, have you been well? - Yes.
My gosh. Why did Yeon Ji lose so much weight?
Dae Sik, you brat.
I told you to take good care of her.
- Did you starve her? - No.
No, he didn't. I ate less because I've been on a diet.
What's all this, Father?
Oh, right. I heard you'll visit your mother with Dae Sik this weekend.
Your dad bought Ganghwa ginseng, wormwood extract,
and persimmon...
for Yeon Ji's mother.
Oh, my. Father and Mother, you two are so great.
After you two meet Yeon Ji's mother,
let's the date for your wedding.
We'll prepare everything for your wedding,
- so Yeon Ji, don't worry about it. - That's right.
What about the house?
Live in this house until the lease term ends.
And after that, I will buy you a large apartment unit.
Dad, you're the best.
Yeon Ji, what were you going to say earlier?
Nothing.
The late Ms. Kim once suffered from a crisis...
because she was also allergic to penicillin.
No. There's no way.
It's just a coincidence.
The surgery date will be set within the next week.
So please don't worry too much.
Do you know...
how many times Si Woo lost his consciousness?
He went into shock and had esophagorrhagia.
You let him lose all his energy...
and even ousted me.
And now you'll get the surgery as if you're being kind to us?
Ms. Choi, do you hate me that much?
Yes. I hate you.
I despise you. I'm terrified of you.
So shut your mouth and drive.
How is he doing?
He got a sedative and just fell asleep.
The doctor said some people are allergic to penicillin.
He said he'll give him different medications, so he'll be okay.
Why did he give Si Woo medication that could cause a problem?
Si Woo didn't know that he was allergic to penicillin.
I guess he told the doctor he wasn't allergic to it.
The surgery date will be set soon.
You know that I have a healthy liver, right?
With my liver, Si Woo will recover very quickly.
Of course. You can't even drink. Your liver must be healthy.
Can't Nam Jin...
drink?
No. I was born with no enzymes to metabolize alcohol.
Thank you for making such a hard decision.
I will make sure to compensate you.
You don't have to compensate me.
That's not necessary.
Jin Ah, go home and get some rest tonight.
I'll stay with him.
- No, Mother. - Do as I say.
I shouldn't make you attend to him every day when you're pregnant.
Si Woo will resent me for that.
Nam Jin, drive her home on your way if that's okay.
Thank you for the ride.
I'm relieved that Ms. Choi seems to be nice to you.
If she...
treats you badly again, tell me or Si Woo, okay?
That's okay.
I'm going to be good to Ms. Choi.
She gave birth to Mr. Choi.
Even if she makes me upset, I'll endure it.
I owe you too much, Nam Jin.
I'll repay you little by little.
You don't have to repay me as you're my younger brother's wife.
Your younger brother's wife?
I'm your elder brother's wife.
Didn't you hear that Mr. Choi was born earlier than you?
Is that right?
Then why do I feel like I'm the older one?
Is there a roasted sweet potato vendor around here?
Yes. I think it's in front of the bus stop over there.
So he will need his own underwear,
toiletries, and an electric razor.
And he must not eat...
from lunch of the day before the surgery.
I visited Si Woo, drove Jin Ah home, and am on my way home now.
Are you craving roasted sweet potato by any chance?
They're yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes.
If I'm craving it, will you buy it for me?
Of course.
I am craving it,
but I don't want to cause you trouble.
Who could that be?
Yes.
My goodness. You startled me.
- Ta-da. - Gosh.
What is this? My gosh.
What if I said I wasn't craving roasted sweet potato?
Then I would've gone out to buy something else you were craving.
Why would you buy me anything I'm craving as if I'm pregnant?
What? Pregnant?
Gosh. You're imagining weird things again. Stop it.
All right. I'll peel the sweet potato for you.
Oh, it's so hot.
You'll be hospitalized tomorrow, right?
Aren't you worried?
I'm not worried at all.
My liver is much larger than others'.
Here you go. It looks delicious.
What is it, Mom?
Si Woo.
Mom.
You must've had a nightmare from sleeping uncomfortably.
How will I repay you for your kindness?
Kindness?
I heard...
that you resigned.
Yes.
However,
I asked for my resignation...
to be accepted after you two return.
There is much to take care of, and I need to hand over the work.
You did the right thing.
Did Jin Ah go somewhere?
I sent her home.
She's pregnant, and I thought she'd be tired.
Thank you, Mom.
So you want to post an announcement at the school...
and try to bring back the trend of our first product, right?
We can change the design and color,
so I think it'd be a good idea to brief everyone at the PTA meeting.
It's a good idea to bring it back into the spotlight...
when the sales for our first and second product is decreasing.
Let's contact the schools...
that were interested in our products.
I'm sure we'll be able to get a few of them.
Ms. Lee can make modifications in the design, right?
Of course.
Let's wrap up the meeting.
Let's remember Mr. Ahn is sending us support from afar...
- and do our best. - Okay.
- Okay. - Can I leave early today?
Mr. Ahn is getting admitted to the hospital today, right?
Clumsy Mr. Ahn went to the hospital...
without taking anything.
So I'm planning to go home and take him a few things.
Okay.
I'll meet Mr. Heo and report to him on our work...
before I leave.
Come in.
What brings you here, Mr. Lee?
Have a seat.
I have something to discuss with you.
You know the other team hoarded...
their own product for the third contest, right?
Yes, I do.
Will the sales...
be added to the final result?
Yes, that's how it seems for now.
Why?
That isn't a fair way to compete.
You can't leave that alone.
From what I think,
Ms. Choi resigned on her own because of that.
What?
If she resigns,
her illegal actions...
won't be shared with the board members,
and she'd be able to have Si Woo become the successor.
Then we should reveal it.
Revealing the truth and deducting it from the sales is the right thing.
That won't be easy right now.
She wasn't cornering the market...
nor did she hurt anyone.
She hurt Nam Jin.
Gosh, Mr. Choi is being sly to the very end.
I'd like to buy all our products...
if I had the money.
Even if I bring it up at a board meeting,
if everything is revealed,
Nam Jin will stop it.
Why?
You know Nam Jin thinks of you...
as a brother, right?
He's going to be very troubled...
from now on.
Please stay beside him and comfort him.
You want a recommendation to go to the office in Europe?
Yes.
Why are you thinking of leaving when the contest isn't over?
Can I be honest with you?
Yes, tell me.
I'm a part-time assistant designer.
If our team loses,
I'll probably be dismissed without being able to renew my contract.
We didn't lose yet.
We have to do our best.
Even if we win, I lost favor with Ms. Choi.
There are so many talented designers,
including you and Jin Ah.
I have no hope.
You're talented, Yeon Ji.
Why do you lack confidence when your design was in the show?
Try hard and have everyone admit how good you are.
That's why I want to go.
I want to watch more fashion shows in Europe,
study more...
and become a better designer.
Our team lacks manpower.
I won't be able to go anywhere if we lose the contest.
They'll only be interested if I go now.
The rest is a competition between sales.
All right, I'll write you a recommendation.
You have to get the job in return then.
Thank you, Mr. Jang.
Yes, Ms. Yoo.
Right now? Okay.
Why do all the women...
need to talk to me today?
What is it?
Here.
Ms. Choi told me to throw it away,
but I don't think I should just toss it out.
Isn't it okay to throw it away if she told you to after seeing it?
She ripped it without looking at it.
It's something very important.
What is it?
(The paternity test for Choi Soo Hee and Ahn Nam Jin is positive.)
What's this?
Ms. Choi and Mr. Ahn are blood-related?
What should I do, Mr. Jang?
I'll take care of this.
Don't tell anyone about this, Ms. Yoo.
Yes, Mr. Jang.
Are you coming from the hospital?
Yes.
Ms. Heo.
Did Nam Jin's birth mother...
really allergic to penicillin?
Yes, she was hospitalized with nephritis...
and she was in danger because of the allergic reaction.
Was Nam Jin...
never able to drink?
No.
He once drank when he was in school...
and was taken to the hospital to have his stomach pumped.
It was such a disaster.
How long are you going to keep this up?
Nam Jin should know.
He should know his birth mother is alive.
Mr. Heo...
must have said weird things to you too.
It isn't true. It's not true.
My son is Si Woo.
He's the son I had after getting shots...
to accelerate his birth and being in labor for two days.
Does the truth change if you deny it?
Get another DNA test if you don't believe it.
No, I won't.
Why would I?
This is karma.
Can't you see Nam Jin is paying for what you did?
You were torn apart from your son, trying to make him the successor.
You raised the son of someone you hated with love.
If this isn't karma, I don't know what it is.
No matter how much hatred you show toward him,
blood must be thicker than water.
He was worried about you yesterday...
and drove you to the hospital.
So stop giving Nam Jin hard times.
Nam Jin is your son.
You must've seen the DNA test result that Mr. Heo gave you.
No. That's not true!
Seung Joo.
What do you mean Nam Jin is Ms. Choi's son?
What are you talking about?
(It's My Life)
I found a way of confessing everything...
- and avoid getting punished. - Get out right now!
I said, get out!
You didn't even recognize your son. You put him in trouble instead!
I'll pack it for you.
Nam Jin, what kind of person...
was your birth mother?
