(It's My Life)
- 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?
What's the matter, Seung Joo? Did something happen?
No. It's nothing.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Oh, my. What brings you here?
Mr. Ahn told me to take Ms. Choi to a hospital.
I meant to go too as it'd be hard for Jin Ah to take her there alone.
I'm so glad you're here.
A hospital? Why should I go to a hospital?
Yesterday, Mr. Kim said you should get a checkup.
Why do I need a checkup when I'm not sick?
I have to go to work. I have a lot to do today.
Still, go and get a checkup.
The doctor said you're not in good condition due to stress...
and the overdose of antidepressant or whatever it's called.
Are you telling me to have an examination by a psychiatrist?
Yes. You have an appointment with a psychiatrist at 10am.
Why would I go see a psychiatrist?
I'm fine.
Drive me to my office, Mr. Ko.
Yes, ma'am. Let's go.
My goodness. It seems like she doesn't remember...
that she made a scene yesterday.
Exactly.
However, I'm not sure if she can focus on the work in her condition.
I'm sure she can do her work just fine.
You saw her scary face when she said she doesn't need a psychiatrist.
What? She has a panic disorder?
Yes. We'll learn more details after a psychiatric examination.
But it seems that an overdose, severe anxiety, and stress...
caused her symptoms.
If she has panic disorder,
she won't be able to work for a while.
Come in.
I'm sorry for being late.
That's okay. Please sit.
I asked the two of you to see me today...
because of something else.
However, I'm not sure if I should tell you this...
when Ms. Choi is unwell.
You two know...
that Ms. Choi is planning to split the company into two, right?
Yes.
I heard it from Nam Jin.
Splitting Hyunkang...
is an act of outright challenging...
the late Chairman Ahn's management principles.
I think she's pushing forward this plan to divide the company...
into apparel and distribution companies so that the two of you...
can run each of them.
What are your opinions on this?
I already told Ms. Choi...
that I'm against the idea.
I'm against it too.
In that case,
we will have to cancel her plan.
However, the board of directors won't change their minds.
The appointment of all positions have been done already,
and if the company is divided,
there will be more ways to achieve personal gains.
So they won't give up so easily.
Therefore, I desperately need help...
from the two of you.
What should we do to help you?
Si Woo, please stop the plan of splitting the company.
All the directors who are leading it are on Ms. Choi'd side,
so I think you can convince them.
Yes. I'll give it a try.
And Nam Jin,
take over the collaboration project with the Italian brand...
that Ms. Choi is in charge of.
Me?
Oh, my. Cheol Sang?
You're Cheol Sang, right?
What are you doing here?
Do you work here?
Pardon me? I don't know...
what you're talking about.
Let's have tea together some time.
This is my daughter-in-law. Isn't she pretty?
Jin Ah, say hello to him. He's my hometown friend.
I'm Jung Jin Ah.
Well...
Hello.
It was you.
You talked my naive son, Nam Jin, into kicking me out of this house!
And when I marry Nam Jin, you will have to...
move out of that house too.
I believe it is a panic attack that comes from severe anxiety...
and too much stress.
It seems like she overdosed on antidepressants recently.
Because of that, she's hearing things...
and is very unstable.
She'll get better through treatment.
Don't worry too much.
What are you doing here?
Did you even come to my workplace to harass me?
Why are you doing this?
Are you trying to kick me out of the company too?
Ms. Choi.
Mother, she's Seung Joo.
She's trying to kill me.
I'm scared of her.
What is it? What's going on?
Nam Jin, get her out of here.
I think she followed me to kick me out of the company.
Why are you acting like this, Ms. Choi?
Please... Please pull yourself together.
Nam Jin, there's no problem with me.
You trust me, right?
Let's go, Mother. I'll take you to your office.
No. I... I'll go with Nam Jin.
I'll take her to her office. Seung Joo, go back to our office.
Seung Joo, please understand her.
She's having a hard time because of the shocking things that happened.
I feel like she became like that because of me.
Don't take too many pills.
I won't. Thank you for worrying about me.
Since the Italian company wants to cancel the project...
if Ms. Choi isn't in charge of it,
you need to work on the project with Ms. Choi for now.
What should I do if she...
has a panic attack during a meeting?
If that happens, you should do what you're good at.
Don't you remember...
how you gave a briefing on behalf of the late chairman...
when he showed a symptom of Alzheimer's?
You did a wonderful job at the meeting.
Well... I was able to do it because I learned what he wished...
while spending a lot of time with him.
Nam Jin, your modest and kind attitude...
make people let their guard down.
I'm sure the people from the Italian company will also gladly accept you.
- Ms. Choi. - Yes?
Do you have something to say to me?
About the collaboration with the Italian brand.
Would it be okay if I joined you in the project?
Of course.
You'd be a great support to me.
Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?
I'd like to learn about your business management skills.
I heard no one is better than you...
in this field, Ms. Choi.
All right, I'll share my secrets...
with just you, Nam Jin.
I'll ask Ms. Yoo for the documents related to it...
and go through it.
Okay.
Are you saying it seems like she doesn't remember what happened?
That's right.
She acted like she hadn't seen Mr. Bang for a while.
She doesn't remember what happened,
but is hostile towards Seung Joo?
Couldn't it be because of Nam Jin?
She seems to think Seung Joo...
is keeping her from getting closer to Nam Jin.
It'd be best for you to persuade her and take her to the hospital.
She won't listen to me.
Would she listen to me?
All she talked about on our way to work was you.
She told me about your childhood,
and the time when she visited you in Italy...
and made wishes together in front of the gold statue of Maria.
Do you know what she wished for back then?
Well,
I bet she wished for me to become the successor of Hyunkang.
No.
She wished for your happiness.
That's a surprise.
Are you going to leave her like this?
Make sure you take her to the hospital. Okay?
Okay.
Let me know whenever you need anything.
Okay, thank you.
Nam Jin,
did she agree to work on the project with you?
Yes.
All right. I'm sure you'll be able to do a good job.
Are you two going somewhere?
I'm going to take Mom to the hospital.
Okay. I'm glad you decided to do so.
Did Seung Joo go somewhere?
She left early. She seemed very sick.
That's right. It must have been very bad.
She was crying this morning.
She was crying?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Try not to say things that will hurt others.
You may feel relieved when you say it,
but it turns into a boomerang and comes back to you.
Mom.
It's my fault.
I think Ms. Choi's condition is worse because of me.
What I said...
is all coming back to me.
What am I to do now, Mom?
Mom...
She has dissociative amnesia.
It comes from stress caused by shock,
and she doesn't remember anything that happened after that.
But she says Nam Jin is her son.
We all have a tendency to protect ourselves.
By forgetting the things she did wrong,
she can be free of the pain she was suffering from.
However, she doesn't want to forget about her son.
Ms. Choi...
believes she gave birth to two sons.
She shows great hostility...
toward Nam Jin's fiance. Why could that be?
I believe she thinks of her...
as someone that's trying to keep her away from the son...
she found in 30 years.
She'll get much better if she takes medication and gets counseling.
Please try not to make her feel nervous...
while I treat her.
Okay.
You checked all this, right?
Yes, we need to pay them 20 thousand dollars.
Yes, Seung Joo.
Dad, can I...
sleep at your house today?
Of course. Why not?
We have an empty room.
Then I'll come over later.
Okay, I'll see you later.
Was that Seung Joo?
Yes, she's sleeping over today.
She sounds down.
She must have the marriage blues.
What should I do? There's no food at home.
You can leave early.
Cook some food and clean the house.
Our smart robot vacuum does all the cleaning, so that's taken care of.
I'll just get some groceries on my way home.
Wait, wait.
Here, take this and buy the groceries with it.
Seung Joo is the only one that makes stingy Man Seok open his wallet.
We can't travel abroad.
What if she has a panic attack while we're traveling?
Come to think of it, you're right.
Then let's go somewhere in Korea.
What do you think of the sea?
Ms. Yang, do you remember...
when Nam Jin grilled pork belly...
on that stone plate?
- That tasted amazing. - You're right.
The pork we had tasted incredible.
Nam Jin brought a stone from the construction site,
washed it thoroughly for a few days,
took us to the beach and grilled us pork there.
That's right.
I still remember the taste of it.
One of the things on my bucket list...
was to go camping and have a barbecue.
I'm envious.
So we should go camping and have a barbecue?
That's a good idea.
Honestly, I felt bad for Ms. Choi...
when I heard that.
She always tried to come home early...
even when she went on business trips for her son who'd be home alone.
Yes, she did.
Si Woo was the purpose of Ms. Choi's life.
Let's go camping.
Can I get a refill for my coffee, Seon Hui?
Okay.
Are you going camping?
With whom?
Ms. Choi, Mr. Jang, and me.
- No, you can't. - Why not?
Have you forgotten you were almost fired because of Ms. Choi?
She apologized and helped us financially...
to pay for our rent.
You should know how to forgive someone...
when a person asks for forgiveness.
Is he still sulking?
Goodness, how could a man...
be sulking all day...
because of something so petty?
Why? Did he have a fight with Yeon Ji?
No wonder Yeon Ji was sighing...
all day like she had a lot on her mind.
Then she lost her memory?
My goodness. This is horrible.
She'll get better soon if she gets plenty of rest and is stable.
What about her work?
She's supposed to do something with that Italian brand.
Nam Jin will take care of that project.
We'll take good care of her at home, so don't worry.
The bomb therapy Ms. Yang taught me...
has a very good effect.
The bomb therapy?
What's that?
Let's call the wedding off.
What? Why?
I used to think...
you were a generous and kind person.
However, you won't even talk to me because of something so trivial.
I can't understand that.
People say...
even a couple madly in love...
fight often after they get married.
I hate to see you giving me cold shoulders for days...
whenever you get upset.
It's better if we break up now if you're going to be like this.
No.
It's good that I find out that you can be so narrow-minded...
and sulk about trivial matters.
I'm relieved.
Wait, Yeon Ji. I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Listen. I... I'm not sulking.
I thought you were embarrassed by me.
I was thinking of how I could make you feel proud of me...
in front of other people.
I was just trying to figure that out.
Is that true?
Please... Please forgive me just this once.
From now on, I will never sulk...
or stop talking to you.
Come and sit here.
I didn't do it because I was ashamed of you.
If I had introduced you as my boyfriend...
to the man I dated only for a few months,
he would've thought I said it because he dumped me.
He dumped you?
You didn't dump him?
Yes. He dumped me.
What's wrong with him?
Who is he to dump my sweet Yeon Ji?
That's why we named it the bomb therapy.
Come to think of it, I also remember Bomb.
Bomb growled when the other dogs were going to eat first.
He also threw tantrum at his brothers.
That's right. But after some time,
he became meek like a lamb.
I think he did it because he was smart.
He tried to eat more and be loved more.
Did he?
I learn so much from you, Ms. Yang.
My goodness. What's there to learn from a person like me?
I learned that how you raise a child is more important...
than giving birth to him.
My goodness. I can't even lift up my face.
Stop it. I'm embarrassed.
She won't answer my calls and ignores my texts.
Could she be very sick?
Hello, Father. It's me, Nam Jin.
Have you talked to Seung Joo on the phone today?
I can't reach her.
Yes. Seung Joo is at my house right now.
Is she?
Then please put her on the phone.
She's sleeping.
She barely touched her food at dinner.
She looked like she was on the verge of crying,
so I couldn't say anything.
Did something happen?
Something happened that made her upset.
I'll tell you the details when I see you.
All right. Are you still at work?
Go home and get some rest.
What did he say? Did they have a fight?
No. I don't think they had a fight.
Something happened that made Seung Joo upset.
They say that nothing is more pointless than a couple's spats.
She'll feel better once Mr. Ahn talks to her.
You're right. You can't fight Mr. Ahn.
I guess Seung Joo is...
trying to get the upper hand before getting married.
She already seems to have Mr. Ahn on a very short leash.
There's nothing to keep in check. She should be easy on him.
Let's go to bed now too.
Despite everything that happened,
I meant to try my best to the end.
Because I like Nam Jin so much,
I wanted to try everything I can to the end.
I'm sorry, Nam Jin.
Oh, my. What are you doing here?
Well...
Can I sleep with you, Ms. Yang?
If you feel uncomfortable, I'll leave.
Oh, gosh. Wait. Come here.
Did you have a bad dream?
I felt like someone was watching me.
Who would have watched you?
What good would it do to watch you asleep?
Right?
It's just that I'm too sensitive, right?
It's because you're physically and mentally weak now.
Eat well and rest well.
Go to sleep now.
Ms. Yang.
Ms. Yang, are you asleep?
Ms. Choi, you should keep your eyes closed to fall asleep.
I want to ask you about something.
Have Nam Jin and Seung Joo...
set their wedding date?
They haven't set the date yet.
Seung Joo's parents will let us know when they set the date.
If...
Seung Joo asks you to move out and live with them,
will you do that?
I don't know.
I'll just do what Nam Jin wants.
I have no say in that matter.
Can't you all live here with me?
(It's My Life)
Live separately from us.
Don't worry about me and live with him alone.
It's better for both of us, Seung Joo.
I think Choi Geum Soon was so shocked...
- that she lost... - Ms. Choi is perfectly fine.
So just focus on your work.
Please leave me out of this project.
How can we do it without you, our head designer?
It's so hard for me.
