(It's My Life)
Choi Geum Soon is your birth mother.
She gave birth to you.
What are you talking about?
Ms. Choi is Si Woo's mother.
If you're going to keep saying absurd things, please leave.
Did you not know?
Mr. Heo already took a DNA test.
Choi Geum Soon is your birth mother.
Your mom was there when I heard this.
That makes no sense!
You stole me from the hospital.
Then why was Ms. Choi's son there?
I heard the case of your abduction will be reinvestigated.
Was it wrong of me to give birth to Si Woo at the same hospital?
We can't be sure yet.
Ms. Choi said she will take a DNA test again.
So wait a little while.
I need to confirm it myself.
Wait. No.
Change your clothes first.
I don't have time for that.
Do as I say.
I can't let my man walk around in a patient uniform...
with a blank face.
Mr. Bang, please leave now.
What? Oh, all right.
Hey. Please convince Nam Jin...
to go to the prosecutor and testify.
Didn't you hear me saying you should go?
Okay. I'm leaving.
The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Why? Didn't Ms. Choi pick up?
No.
Has my mom stopped loving me?
She didn't visit me yesterday. Now she won't even answer my call.
She must be busy working.
Do you want to see her?
I had a weird dream last night, so I'm worried about her.
What kind of dream did you have to act like this?
My mom was crying...
because her favorite pearl necklace was snapped.
My late father bought it for her as a gift.
It's the one she cherishes the most.
You know they say that dreams mean the opposite.
I'm sure she's okay.
Let's try calling her again after the check-up.
Okay.
Seung Joo, you knew it, right?
What?
You asked me...
about my birth mother.
I could not believe it.
I didn't want to believe it either.
Look at me.
Nam Jin, you have done nothing wrong.
Someone made your life a mess.
But you grew up to be such an upright person...
and a great man.
Your presence...
is a blessing for all of us.
You just have to...
You just have to remember that. Do you understand?
All right. Now let's go.
Where shall we go first?
Director Cho will take over Ms. Choi's duties from today.
I thought so.
Director Cho needs to be in that position...
so that she will have a chance to return to the company later.
Come in.
Hello.
- You may leave now. - Yes, sir.
Let's sit down.
Mr. Heo,
I need an explanation about what really happened.
I guess Mr. Bang visited you at the hospital.
That's right.
I know you don't want to believe it,
but all of it is true.
Ms. Choi Soo Hee...
is your birth mother.
You don't look well, Ms. Choi.
Shall I get some medicine for you?
No. That's not necessary. You may leave.
(This is Korea Gene Analysis Center.)
(The DNA test result has been sent to you via e-mail.)
(The DNA test report you requested)
(Paternity Test Report for Confirmation of Blood Relation)
(Ahn Nam Jin, Choi Soo Hee, 99.8 percent match)
I found out about this...
because of Mr. Choi's liver transplant.
According to the result of Ms. Choi's compatibility test,
the doctor said she and Mr. Choi might not be blood-related.
At first, I thought that maybe...
Ms. Choi adopted a child who isn't related to the Ahn family...
and manipulated the DNA test result.
From what I gather, I assume...
that at the time when Mr. Bang stole the baby,
the two babies had already been switched.
The reason why I kept it from you...
until now...
is that I believed that Ms. Choi...
should've obtained the truth by herself...
and sincerely apologize to you, Nam Jin.
I wish...
I had never found out about it.
If I didn't know,
my heart wouldn't be aching so much right now.
This can't be true. How could it be?
How...
How could you do that?
What's this?
Look what you did!
Because of your twisted greed,
all of us will become miserable.
What did you want to get by doing such a thing?
Money? Power?
Or Hyunkang?
How could you even consider...
getting rid of a newborn baby just because you hated someone?
You see,
I am so relieved that I haven't lived...
as your son, Ms. Choi.
Had I lived as your son,
I would have withered.
"Avenge me. Become the successor of Hyunkang."
"If you want to succeed,"
"you should trample over anyone who gets in your way!"
Listening to such horrible things,
I would've lived a miserable life.
Nam... Nam Jin.
Don't call my name!
If even a drop of blood in my body was passed down from you,
I want to get rid of every last drop of it.
Si Woo...
For the past 30 years...
I lived thinking that he was my son.
He was my everything.
And I hope...
he never...
finds out about this.
I'll do as you wish.
Si Woo had to live as your son in my place.
I'll do that because I feel so bad for him.
And I'll gladly give him my liver,
which you gave me.
Nam Jin...
Ms. Choi, wake up.
- Ms. Yoo! Bring some water! - Yes, sir.
Ms. Choi.
Seung Joo.
I heard something crazy yesterday,
but I'm not sure whether or not I should tell Nam Jin.
I can't figure out what to do.
Nam Jin is at Ms. Choi's office now.
What? At Ms. Choi's office? Does that mean he knows now?
Just leave him be.
They need some 1-on-1 time right now.
1-on-1 time. Right.
That's necessary.
Regardless of the situation,
we can't refute the fact that she is Nam Jin's birth mother.
Who's his birth mother?
Ms. Yang Sun Ja...
is the only mother he has.
I understand how you must feel,
but you should only think about Nam Jin at the moment.
We can't deny that she is his birth mother, you know.
They're in this mess because of what she did for Nam Jin's sake.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
How could you accept it so easily and say such a thing?
Nam Jin found out that the woman...
who tried to get rid of him is, in fact, his mother.
He must be in utter shock now.
I know that, of course.
But you see,
once all the misunderstandings and resentment clear up,
he'll come to accept it.
All we have to do is be there for him until then.
That absolutely...
will not happen.
Seung Joo.
I'm going to Oepo.
I'll be back at the hospital by tomorrow morning,
so don't worry.
Like you said, this wind shall pass soon.
I'm going to think about you and get through this.
You trust me, right?
Goodness, what a mess.
Is Mr. Jang getting any work done?
He needs to approve these orders for us to send them off.
Look at this. He hasn't even approved this yet.
I bet that slacker is lounging around somewhere...
What? What's this "Test Result"?
(Ahn Nam Jin, Choi Soo Hee, 99.8 percent match)
What is it?
Mr. Ahn and Ms. Choi are biologically related?
My gosh.
Does that mean Mr. Ahn...
is Ms. Choi's son?
Apparently.
Then what about Mr. Choi?
Oh, does that mean she has two sons?
That can't be.
They said Mr. Ahn is the only legitimate son of the Ahn family.
Exactly.
Let me take you to the hospital.
Let's go so that you can rest and get an IV drip.
Why didn't I recognize him?
Whenever I saw him,
why did I say such harsh words to him?
I told him that I hated him.
I said he's a terrible person...
and that he makes me shudder.
I...
I said that to my son.
My gosh...
What should we do?
Si Woo.
Apparently, Si Woo is...
Kim So Young's son.
The woman I don't even want to see in my dreams. He's her son.
I abandoned my own child.
I...
To make sure...
that woman's son can inherit Hyunkang,
I've sacrificed my everything.
Life is a comedy, isn't it?
Why did you do something so spiteful to begin with?
How am I going to live now?
What should I live for?
What kind of question is that?
Beg both of them for forgiveness...
and live for yourself from now on.
I don't deserve it.
I don't deserve to even eat food and breathe.
When my son...
could barely open his eyes, I tried to kill him.
I don't deserve to live.
Don't be so weak.
I'm still in disbelief.
Si Woo...
Whenever I think about Si Woo,
I feel like my heart is about to explode.
If it's for Si Woo,
I feel like I could even die right now.
But...
Nam Jin is my son.
Now that you've suddenly been told you belong to the Hyunkang family,
do you feel like you're a somebody now?
I really hate you.
I'll trust that you weren't the one...
who stole me 30 years ago.
A mother who has a child can't do that.
Why did you do that?
Why was Hyunkang so important to you?
Why do such a thing just to get your revenge?
You see,
you always act before you think, and that's your problem.
Thank goodness...
we're not family.
You know what? I hate you so much.
You're ruthless and scary.
As they say, what goes around comes around. Mr. Choi is ill...
because of all the bad deeds you've done.
From now on, I won't let you sway Nam Jin in any way...
or walk all over him.
So you'd better wake up.
I can't accept this.
How could I accept her as Nam Jin's mother?
After all she has done...
Regardless of what happened, she's Nam Jin's birth mother.
Things went wrong, and what she did for Nam Jin caused all this.
But blood is thicker than water.
What brings you here without calling me?
Man Seok, stop it.
Must she call you when she wants to see you, her dad?
Dad.
Hey. What's the matter?
Did something happen?
What should I do?
I am so upset.
What? Why? Why are you upset?
Did Mr. Ahn cause you grief?
Don't ask her anything and give her some time.
Asking her questions will only make her even more overwhelmed.
All right. I won't say anything.
- Come and sit down. - Right. Come on.
- Go sit down. - Sit and cry until you feel better.
Why...
My goodness. Hey...
Man Seok, bring her some tissues.
- Tissues? - Yes.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Here. - Get her a cup of warm water too.
- Warm water? - Yes.
- Here's the water. - Okay.
Oh, dear.
- Mom. - You're here.
Has your love for me changed?
Do you know that you didn't come to see me for two days?
I'm sorry. How are you feeling?
Son?
I'm feeling great.
Thanks to Jin Ah, I ate and slept well.
It turned out Jin Ah is like a mean mother-in-law.
Jin Ah, thank you for your help.
You must've been upset because of me.
Forgive me.
No, Mother. I'm not upset at you at all.
Si Woo...
is your person now.
Take good care of him.
He is a picky eater.
He hates salty food.
Make food a little bland for him.
And he's allergic to milk, so be careful.
Why are you saying such things all of a sudden?
Are you going somewhere?
I think I can't come for a few days because I have a lot of work to do.
No matter what happens, you two...
should never part.
Love each other just as you do now.
Mom, you're acting so weird.
You see,
I've been very happy as your mom.
You know that, right?
I feel the same, Mom.
I'll recover quickly and be a good son.
You can wait until then, right?
Of course, I can wait.
He left the hospital this morning.
Where did he go? And why hasn't he called all day?
I'm sure he went somewhere to get fresh air.
Nam Jin must be confused and devastated.
I feel so bad for him.
He's such a soft-hearted person. He must've been so shocked.
Doesn't Seung Joo know where he is?
She won't answer my calls either.
Then could they be together now?
I don't think so.
Sang Hyun said...
that Nam Jin went to see Ms. Choi and disappeared.
Oh, my.
Nam Jin. My goodness. My baby.
Where are you now?
Yes, Mom.
- It's me, Nam Jin. - What's with your voice?
Did you cry?
No. I didn't cry.
My voice is a bit hoarse. That's all.
Where are you?
What are you doing all alone?
I'm not sure where I am.
I don't even know what I'm doing.
Nam Jin.
My poor baby. I feel so bad for you.
Mom.
Do you remember?
When I was in middle school,
I couldn't pay for school lunches...
and so I couldn't eat anything for lunch.
So you made mixed rice, packed a lunch box,
and came to school.
You said, "You fool, you can pay the money later."
"Why did you starve yourself?"
Of course, I remember that.
I clearly remember it.
That day, I really enjoyed the lunch you made for me.
While eating with you hiding in the gym,
I was so happy. It was nice.
Mom.
Isn't that what happiness and good memories are like?
Can't a mom and son...
be happy enough with good memories like this?
Nam Jin.
Whatever people might say,
I am your son.
For me,
you, Ms. Yang Sun Ja, are the only mom.
(It's My Life)
You were a blessing and a gift for me.
However, I realized that life can be so twisted.
- Ms. Choi is acting weird. - Let's go.
She asked how to get to the rooftop.
No matter what she does now, she's just an abductor.
You will only cut your hand on broken glass.
