(It's My Life)
Mother, I'll take this...
At least you should have told me.
You should have told me even if Si Woo told you not to.
Jin Ah.
Jin Ah, are you all right?
I'm fine. My belly feels a bit tight.
Are you planning to cause our baby to die too?
Just like 30 years ago...
when you tried to get rid of me?
Take Jin Ah to your room.
I think you should have her rest.
Let's go, Jin Ah.
- Do you need to go to the hospital? - No.
You...
are only worried about Jin Ah.
Don't care about me...
when I was your mom for 30 years?
I'll come back downstairs.
Try to calm yourself.
Let's go.
You should wait in the living room since Si Woo will be coming down.
I'll let you talk to Si Woo.
Nam Jin.
Do you not want me...
to be at your wedding either?
It doesn't matter if you come.
I'll think of you as my boss coming to congratulate me.
Your boss?
That's right.
I'm your boss.
Ms. Choi.
I know you're upset that we held our wedding without telling you,
Ms. Choi.
However,
I wanted to hold the wedding without you, Ms. Choi.
When I think about my birth mother,
I didn't think...
it'd be appropriate for you to be there, Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi?
You're calling me Ms. Choi as well.
For 30 years...
I was your mom.
Do you even know how I feel?
Do you have any idea...
how torturous this is for me?
I feel tortured too.
I'm sure Nam Jin is suffering too.
This is...
all your fault, Ms. Choi.
If we hadn't been switched,
I would have been...
raised by Ms. Yang instead of Nam Jin.
And my birth mother...
would have missed me her entire life...
and passed away miserably.
That's why I'm being punished as you can see.
You, who has been everything to me,
despise me now as if I am an insect.
What punishment could be harsher than this?
You know what?
I...
feel so envious of Nam Jin.
He's neither rich like me...
nor successful like me.
But whenever people see Nam Jin,
they smile.
Meanwhile, I...
am full of inferiority complexes,
and people feel uncomfortable around me.
Si Woo.
You taught me to be like this.
You told me that once I show my emotion,
other people can see the cards I'm holding.
If I don't want others to walk all over me,
I should never show them my true self.
If you...
were a normal mother...
just like Ms. Yang...
who has a strong faith in her son...
and cheers for him,
I wouldn't resent you this much.
If you hadn't judged me by your standards...
and hadn't used me to get your revenge,
it must have been...
much easier for me...
to forgive you.
I just...
tried to make you the best.
You can't...
make your child a person you want him to be.
Please give me some time.
I also have good memories with you, Ms. Choi.
If I could...
let go of my resentment using those memories,
I think...
I can call you "Mother" once again.
All right.
I will wait.
But don't take too much time, Si Woo.
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm fine.
How's Mother doing?
Does my mom still give you a hard time?
No.
At first, she said harsh things and gave me a hard time,
but she really doesn't treat me like that anymore.
If that's true, how could she push you ruthlessly...
without thinking of our baby?
Her son whom she raised for over 30 years...
held his wedding without even telling her.
Wouldn't she have been upset?
She, who has so much pride,
was ignored by both you and Nam Jin.
It must be hard for her to keep herself together.
She should endure it even if it's painful.
If that is...
a way to expiate her sins.
They say one must let go of resentments...
as resentments are bound to make people sick.
You're right. I'll try.
Oh, my. What has gotten into you?
I'm in charge of preparing meals on Sundays.
To make delicious food for Mr. Ahn,
I have to practice cooking hard.
Ta-da. This is braised short ribs, and this is japchae.
And here's snail soybean paste stew.
- Shall I have a taste? - Have a seat.
Why? Do they taste bad?
You put too much soy sauce in the braised short ribs.
The japchae is too bland, and the noodles in it are half-cooked.
Gosh.
The snail soybean paste stew is not bad at all.
That's because I used a store-bought sauce for the stew.
Goodness. I knew it.
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to improve my cooking skills.
Shall I take cooking lessons on the weekends?
We'll be swamped with work because of Hyunkang's projects.
You won't have time to take cooking lessons.
Let's just get some takeout food.
I don't want to lose my dignity as his mother-in-law.
Hello?
This is Choi Soo Hee.
Pardon me? Who is this again?
Ms. Choi of Hyunkang?
It's Ms. Choi. Ms. Choi.
I'd like to talk to you in person.
Me?
I don't want to see you.
I mean, I can't.
I won't take much of your time.
I'm not trying to put you in a difficult position.
Obviously, you will ask me to give your wedding gift to them.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
I have to go now.
Hello? Hello?
There has always been and will be only one mother for me.
You and I have nothing to do with each other.
If you were a normal mother...
just like Ms. Yang...
who has a strong faith in her son...
and cheers for him,
I wouldn't resent you this much.
Mom, I'm here.
Have you been well?
You can tell why I brought him here, right?
He is my fiance.
I'm sorry that I couldn't come earlier, Mother.
I'm Ahn Nam Jin. I hope you like me.
I'll be Seung Joo's bodyguard...
for the rest of my life so that you won't worry about her.
Because he's too kind and generous,
I wasn't sure if I should marry him.
But I thought...
I was the only person who could save him.
Mother, since Seung Joo is such a humanitarian,
I've been saved.
(Lee Yoon Seon)
"Like the wind that never gets caught in a net."
"Like the full moon that slides through the water."
That's a nice phrase.
It was...
my mom's favorite phrase.
She must like you.
How do you know that?
The wind smells sweet.
Seung Joo, let's visit often...
whenever we can so Mother doesn't get lonely.
I'll have to get a scarf for her tree this winter.
Why a scarf?
She'll be lonely since she's here alone.
Nam Jin, you're a very nice...
and sweet person.
I met you,
fell in love,
and although there were some tough times, we're getting married.
But why do I feel anxious?
What are you anxious about?
How should I put this?
It's like the calm before the storm.
I'm worried something will take away our happiness.
That makes me anxious.
That won't ever happen.
Trust me.
What is it?
Why do you come to work on Sundays?
It's annoying for security guards.
Are you here to pick a fight?
No, I'm not here to pick a fight.
I had some matters to settle.
Matters to settle?
Come in.
Have a seat.
So, what is it about?
Are you married?
No.
Then, you don't have any children?
Of course not.
What's this?
Then I'm at a disadvantage.
Did you come to ask about my family?
I'll be a man and be frank with you.
Can you help Sun Ja give up?
Give up on what?
She seems to have feelings for you.
I'm asking you to draw the line,
so she doesn't get the wrong idea.
I like her too.
She's innocent and bright, so I learn a lot from her.
Are you pretending not to know...
or are you really that dull when it comes to feelings?
You've crossed the line.
How dare you speak to me like this!
Can't you fix your habit...
of speaking rudely to others?
Gosh, fine.
I'll be careful.
However, you can't ever get with Sun Ja.
All right, Mr. Heo?
You annoy me.
Habits die hard.
He isn't the type to change.
How did Ms. Yang end up getting involved with him?
Are you going to sit here all day?
Don't you have anything to do?
No, I don't.
I'm going to protect my daughter come rain or shine.
I don't have to do anything else.
Do you dislike my boyfriend that much?
What do you not like about him?
You should take a look at him.
He can't be sane.
I don't like the sleazy look in his eyes...
and look at the color of his hair.
Dad, I'm not a kid anymore.
I'm allowed to have a boyfriend.
I want you to meet a good person,
not someone Ms. Yang would call "brainless".
What are you talking about? You're so annoying.
- Hi. - Hi.
Are you mad, Dae Sik?
No, I'm not.
Then why are you acting like this?
You're acting like you're mad.
What happened? Did you have a lover's quarrel?
Who was that man?
He's a male friend.
Be honest with me.
He's your ex-boyfriend, isn't he?
Boyfriend?
We just dated for a few months before breaking up. That's all.
You and I aren't just a couple...
that's just gotten to know each other.
We're going to get married.
I was just caught off guard when he asked suddenly...
and answered like that.
There's no reason for me to tell him we're getting married.
Yeon Ji,
you're embarrassed by me, aren't you?
No, I'm not. You know how much I like you.
Of course, you're embarrassed.
I stutter my words. I'm short...
and fat, on top of it.
Where are you going, Dae Sik?
I need to get some air.
Don't come after me.
What happened, Yeon Ji?
We went shopping...
and ran into my ex-boyfriend.
He asked me who Dae Sik is, and I was caught off guard...
So you said he's someone you just got to know him?
Gosh. You're in trouble, Yeon Ji.
Once Dae Sik starts sulking, it lasts a long time.
What's this? I didn't know he sulked so easily.
It's spring.
We're here, Mother.
Come on in.
We bought sweet red bean porridge.
Goodness, you bought sweet red bean porridge.
Seung Joo knew you liked it and said we should buy some.
Thank you.
Have it before it gets cold.
Okay. Thank you.
Jin Ah said she wanted sweet red bean porridge earlier.
Why don't you tell her to come and have some, Ms. Heo?
Okay, I'll go tell her.
Did Ms. Choi go somewhere?
No, she's lying in her bed and won't budge.
She even pushed away the porridge I brought her.
Project Bomb or whatever it is...
doesn't seem to work on Geum Soon.
Project Bomb?
What is that?
I'll tell you what it is.
- Our dog was named Bomb... - You...
are talking behind my back again, aren't you?
Did you think I wouldn't know?
I can hear you from my room.
You said I should die.
You said that.
You tried to talk my sweet Nam Jin...
into kicking me out.
What are you doing, Ms. Choi?
Don't do this. Let go of this.
Nam Jin, you can't marry her.
She'll ruin you.
She'll get you to do what she wants and ruin you.
Why are you doing this?
What is she doing?
- Stop it. - She must have lost it.
- Ms. Choi. - Stop it, Mom.
Let go of this and please pull yourself together.
You knew she took antidepressants for quite a while, right?
No, I had no idea.
She'll need to see a psychiatrist for an accurate diagnosis,
but I believe it is a panic attack...
that comes from high anxiety and too much stress.
A panic attack? Do you mean she has panic disorder?
Yes, it seems like she had an overdose of antidepressants.
She's hearing things and is very unstable because of that.
I suggest you set an appointment with a psychiatrist...
and get a thorough checkup.
Doesn't she have to be hospitalized?
That's not necessary. But you should help her get some good rest.
It's important to keep what makes her anxious away from her.
And if she takes her medications while doing so,
her condition will improve gradually.
I think she feels cornered.
She's been uneasy.
I know. I saw her taking pills several times.
So I was worried about her.
She must have been so distressed to do become like that.
She seemed anxious saying that both Si Woo and Nam Jin...
were trying to avoid her.
It's my fault.
I was too harsh on her.
I don't think she can work in this condition.
Tomorrow, I will explain to Mr. Heo about her situation...
and come up with a solution.
I, too, feel bad because I think I said a lot of mean things...
to her.
I'll make sure to take her to a hospital tomorrow.
Seung Joo, are you all right?
You must've been shocked.
No. I'm okay.
I'll get going now.
Are you leaving already? I'll drive you home.
That's okay. I can go by myself.
I can't let you go alone at such a late hour.
Just let me go by myself.
I'm off.
- Seung Joo. - Hey. Let her go.
I'm sure she doesn't want to see anyone in this family.
What? She had a panic attack?
Yes.
On top of an overdose and anxiety disorder,
stress caused it according to the doctor.
You crossed the line.
How could you hold your wedding without telling Ms. Choi?
I understand how you must be feeling,
but she raised you for 30 years with love and affection.
You must admit that she cared more about you than herself.
I know that.
Ms. Choi...
is paying for her wrongdoings.
So at least you should embrace her.
I understand. I will try.
Where is she now?
- Is she at home? - Yes.
Mr. Jang, may I ask you a favor?
Sure. What is it?
Can you go on a trip...
with my mom?
It'd be nice if you take Mr. Lee of Design Team One with you.
I'll pay for all the expenses.
That won't be a problem.
However, I bet Ms. Choi will refuse to go.
I'll persuade her.
Okay. I'll look into a place to go.
- Good morning. - Hello.
Hello.
Why is Joan of Arc so spaced out?
"Like the wind that never gets caught in a net."
"Like the full moon that slides through the water."
Seung Joo. Seung Joo.
Yes?
We've been thinking.
How about we sing...
for you and Mr. Ahn at your wedding?
I saw someone singing "Amor Fati" at a wedding,
it seemed like a festival.
Since it's you and Mr. Ahn's wedding,
we're ready to brazen it out and make ourselves look funny.
- It was you. - My goodness.
You talked my naive son, Nam Jin, into kicking me out of this house!
What should I do now?
Because of me... What do I do?
What should I do?
(It's My Life)
Please stop the company from being divided.
I desperately need help from the two of you.
Cheol Sang? You're Cheol Sang, right?
What's the matter? What's going on?
Nam Jin, get her out of here.
She has dissociative amnesia.
She won't answer my calls and ignores my texts.
Have you talked to Seung Joo on the phone today?
I can't reach her.
I'm sorry, Nam Jin.
