(It's My Life)
Ms. Choi will get better over time.
She's getting treatment now. So can't you wait...
until she recovers?
If I were you,
I would have let me go.
Because I could never bear to watch...
the person I love being hurt.
I would have let me go.
No.
I can never break up with you.
This is the best for both of us.
So...just...
Just let me go.
I will wait.
I'll wait...
until you come back.
I'll say you're taking a leave of absence from work.
Take some time off to pull yourself together.
I'll resolve everything.
I won't go back.
So don't waste your energy.
If I knew...
you were Ms. Choi's son earlier,
I wouldn't have even started this relationship.
What should I do, Ms. Heo?
Seung Joo seems determined.
Is she really going to break up?
Yes.
Choi Geum Soon is the problem.
They're madly in love with each other.
Did she really have to separate them?
She seems fine except that she can't remember a few things.
I don't understand why she is so mean to only Seung Joo.
You see,
I want to pull all of her hair out.
But she is not in her mind.
I feel like my blood is boiling.
We're home.
- Oh, my. - Hello.
- Jin Ah's mother is here too. - Yes.
Hey, what brings you here?
My son-in-law insisted that I should come and take a good rest here.
I brought some red bean porridge.
The baby must be craving it because...
Jin Ah said she was craving it, so I brought some.
Should I go clean the guest room, Si Woo?
Yes, please, Ms. Heo.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
I heard that Nam Jin is also getting married soon.
I'm so happy for him.
I heard that Nam Jin's fiancee is a large company's owner's daughter.
Ms. Yang, your life turned around at an old age.
Who told you that?
Did Jin Ah tell you?
Well, Nam Jin's father told me.
When did he get out of prison?
Did Nam Jin help him get a job at Hyunkang?
I'm sorry, Jin Ah,
but please stop your mother.
If she goes on any further,
I might pull all of her hair out instead of someone else's.
My goodness. Are you saying you'll pull my hair out?
Mom, let's go to the guest room.
Let's unpack your bag and have a talk.
- My gosh. All right. - Let's go.
I'm sorry, Ms. Yang.
There's nothing you should be sorry for.
- Honey, give me the next one. - It's not done yet.
- Is it not done yet? - No.
Oh, my. Hi, guys.
- Dad and Mom. - Welcome home.
- Dinner will be ready soon. - Okay.
- I'll do it, Mother. - No. That's not necessary.
You must be tired from working all day long.
Father, you're wearing the shirt I bought for you.
Don't get me started.
He bragged about it to everyone in our neighborhood...
saying that you, our future daughter-in-law bought it for him.
- Everyone in Oepo knows it. - What's wrong with that?
The colors are nice, and I love it.
It even makes me look younger.
You really look younger than you actually are.
People would think you're my big brother.
You brat. You are so honest.
- Call me "Brother". - Brother.
- Let's sit. - Gosh. What was that?
My goodness.
By the way, why did you invite us?
We did pack for a two-day trip just as you told us to.
Are we going on a trip?
We're not going on a trip.
But Yeon Ji prepared a gift for both of you...
to celebrate your wedding anniversary.
Yeon Ji did?
You already bought me this shirt. You didn't have to buy us anything.
- Here you go. - What?
What is this?
It's a health certificate.
The two of you should stay healthy...
so that the four of us will be happy for a long time.
Honey, did you hear her?
Yeon Ji just said "the four of us".
"The four of us".
I heard her too.
Oh, my. You care about our health.
There's no daughter-in-law like her in this world.
Please stop it. It's nothing special.
Compared to what you two have done for me,
this is nothing.
Please stop crying.
My mom and dad cry easily.
"The four of us".
Please don't cry, Dad.
Does it matter that much to you on whose son I am?
I'm just me.
I'm still the same country boy who loves you.
- What is it? Did you get pricked? - Yes.
Let me see.
Gosh. You're bleeding.
Oh, my. Something smells so good.
You're home.
What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?
While making dinner,
I cut my finger.
And you cried?
Well...
It hurt so much.
I'll be in my room.
Is it her finger that's hurting?
Or is it her heart?
I guess both of them are hurting.
I'm here.
- Hi. Welcome. - Hi, Seon Gyu.
What brings you here in the evening?
Well... This is chicken stew. Give it to Seung Joo.
She must feel so empty. She should stay healthy, at least.
How sweet. Man Seok, see how thoughtful he is.
What's this smell?
Did you make soybean paste stew?
Seung Joo made it for us before we came home.
I didn't eat anything all day long.
Man Seok, can I stay for dinner?
I lied that I'd just see if her tooth was loose and pulled it out.
Then she got so upset,
she didn't even talk to me for three days.
Really?
Jin Ah was so stubborn.
You have no idea.
It hurt so much.
You should've told me if you were going to pull it out.
She pulled it out without even warning.
That's how you should pull out a loose tooth.
What brings you here?
It's been a while.
I invited her.
I see. You should have told me.
Where are Ms. Yang and Ms. Heo?
When Nam Jin comes home...
I mean, they'll eat with Mr. Ahn when he comes home.
Mother, you should have dinner.
No. I don't have any appetite.
Enjoy your meal.
Jin Ah, what are you eating right now?
Can't you see? It's red bean porridge.
Jin Ah has been craving it for the past few days,
so I brought some.
How could you be so careless?
Pardon me?
Don't you know that red beans are bad for pregnancy?
Don't you even know what food to avoid during pregnancy?
Red beans are bad for pregnancy?
Why?
It can cause uterine contraction.
It also increases hormone levels, which, in some cases,
can cause a deformed child.
Jin Ah and I looked into it. She can eat this much.
It causes problems if I eat a whole sack every day.
I just ate a bowl of porridge.
You shouldn't have eaten it at all if it's not good for the baby.
When I was pregnant with Si Woo,
I only ate neatly cut rice cake.
You mean, when you were pregnant with Nam Jin.
I heard that you're not even Si Woo's birth mother.
But you're mistreating my daughter Jin Ah?
Goodness gracious. You're scolding her right in front me, her mother.
You must be so much worse to her when I'm not here.
- Gosh. Seriously. - Stop it, Mom.
What are you talking about?
Si Woo is my son whom I gave birth to.
What about Nam Jin? Then who gave birth to him?
Of course, I gave birth to him. He's my son.
You're the one who is talking nonsense.
You gave birth to both of them?
Please stop it. I'll walk you to your room.
- What on earth are you saying? - My gosh.
What's the matter with you?
Jin Ah, didn't Ms. Choi know it?
Let's go.
- Gosh. - I can't believe this.
My goodness.
Has your mother-in-law lost her mind?
What is she talking about?
Tell her to leave our house. I don't want to see her.
What are you doing? It's just a sedative.
Look at me.
I've...
lived as your son,
but you didn't give birth to me.
Why are you acting like this too?
The son you gave birth to is Nam Jin.
My birth mother...
is the person you hated so much. It's Dad's wife...
Kim So Young.
It's her.
Are you still...
suffering from aftereffects of the surgery?
It seems bad. Let's go to the hospital.
Please come to your senses.
Hiding won't change anything.
Even if it's hard and painful,
you need to endure it.
That's the only way you can atone for what you did.
Why are you acting like this? You're scaring me.
You have to accept it.
If you keep acting like this,
I can't...
stay by your side.
What do you mean you can't stay by my side?
Where are you going?
Did Jin Ah ask you to leave with her?
Does she want to leave with you because I give her a hard time?
Why do you always blame others?
This problem won't be solved...
by making it hard for the people around you.
Who are you blaming for giving whom a hard time?
I'll hold onto these pills.
- Si Woo. - Get some rest.
Si Woo!
Did you just get home?
Yes.
You are
A good person
To Me
I'm a nobody
But slowly
You change me
You're amazing like that
I thought there was only one love
I thought love was the same
That's what I thought
From being someone who thought like that
What? Bang Cheol Sang...
said that to Jin Ah's mom?
Yes.
It caused a commotion last night.
You'll have to make sure he doesn't say unnecessary things.
Okay. Oh, wait.
How is Nam Jin?
He tries not to show it, but I think he's struggling.
He doesn't seem to be able to eat or sleep well.
He hasn't been talking much either.
Of course.
I got it.
And thank you for sending over the juice.
(Chief Legal Officer Heo Chung San)
Mr. Kim, can you have Bang Cheol Sang,
the security man in the lobby to come to my office?
Yes, Mr. Heo.
If I were you,
I would have let me go.
Because I could never bear to watch...
the person I love being hurt.
I would have let me go.
Please leave a message.
Seung Joo,
it's me.
Did you sleep well?
I didn't think you'd answer my call,
but I wanted to say good morning to you by myself.
(Nam Jin sent you a voice message)
This has been very hard for you, hasn't it?
I'm sure it has.
I'm a frustrating, busybody,
and I'm sorry...
I wasn't able to protect you.
I know...
you could've been frustrated with me.
I totally understand...
why you want to break up with me.
However, I can't let you go like this.
I've done nothing for you.
I feel too bad.
I'll be waiting.
I'll wait today...
and tomorrow.
I love you, Seung Joo.
Our team members are here.
I'll call you again, Seung Joo.
What's this? Did you two make up?
Come on, Mr. Lee.
Can't you see they haven't?
He's right. It doesn't seem like they made up.
I feel the same.
Good morning.
Jung Jin Ah,
revise the parts of your report...
Ms. Choi asked you to change and hand it in within the day.
Yes, Mr. Ahn.
When it's ready, you two draw up a draft of the design...
and discuss the special material and fabric...
with Ms. Kim and Mr. Koo.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Wait, where are you going? - What's this?
I rested for a few days, so I should leave.
Where are you going? Pack your things and move in.
No, I don't want to. I feel comfortable at my house.
You even quit work.
Why are you being so stubborn? You'll just be sulking all day.
That's right, Seung Joo. We have an empty room.
- Let's live together here. - Yes.
I'm going to look for a job.
Why would you do that?
Come and work at my company.
- Your company? - That's right.
It's going to be yours anyway. Learn the work when you can.
The day you take over the company,
I'm going to go on a cruise with Man Seok.
I'd like for you to learn quickly and take over soon.
From my experience, when you have a lot on your mind,
it's best to bury yourself in work.
You remember I practically lived at the office...
when your mom passed, right?
Yes, but I'll think about it.
You can drop me off on your way to work, right?
I told you to move in. You're so stubborn.
Fine. Let's go.
Have you lost your mind or what?
Do you think I gave you this job to tell people things like that?
In fact, I didn't spread rumors.
Jin Ah's mom is from my hometown.
So I just told her some facts I knew.
Nam Jin, Si Woo, and Ms. Choi...
are the leaders of Hyunkang.
How will you put up with the consequences of spreading rumors...
about those people, to anyone you see? What are you going to do?
Well... I only told Jin Ahs' mom.
And I talked to her so quietly,
I bet no one around us heard our talks.
Quit your job if you're going to keep on like this.
What? What do you mean I should quit my job?
I hired you, who ruined Nam Jin and Si Woo's lives,
only because Nam Jin asked me.
But you've been telling people...
about Nam Jin, Si Woo, and Ms. Choi thoughtlessly.
I can't let it slide anymore.
I'm sorry.
Being a security guard in the lobby...
isn't just about dealing with people who come and go out of the building.
Your duty is to protect Hyunkang.
However, instead of protecting the company,
you leaked a secret of Hyunkang. That's unacceptable!
I... I'm sorry... I said I'm sorry.
I... I promise I'll watch my mouth.
So please let it slide just this once. Please.
If I find out that you did it again,
I will fire you. So keep that in mind.
Understood, sir.
Oh, right. Sir.
May I ask you a question?
What is it?
What kind of health supplement did Sun Ja give to you yesterday?
Why are you asking that?
I want to try it.
I think I may become good with words...
and become smart just like you if I take it.
Nonsense.
Get back to work now.
Yes, sir. Good day.
I think Ms. Choi's condition is getting worse.
But you said she would get better if she got treatment...
and took her medications.
Ms. Jung's mother visited her house yesterday...
and caused a commotion.
What do you mean Jin Ah's mom caused a commotion?
She told Ms. Choi to stop being mean to Jin Ah...
because she's not even Si Woo's birth mother.
My gosh. I can't believe that woman.
She's in no position to say that.
I mean, she sold her own daughter because of her debt.
Well... I'm just asking this out of curiosity.
Who sold whom because of a debt?
It's none of your business.
Is eavesdropping your hobby?
He has such a big mouth. And he even has good hearing too?
If you keep acting like this,
I...
can't stay by your side anymore.
Come in.
I revised the report as you asked.
I also sent it to you via e-mail.
All right. I'll review it.
Did you...
ask Si Woo to move out with you?
No. I never said that to him.
There's no way...
Si Woo would've said he'll leave me unless you said something.
Haven't you thought...
how hard it must be for Si Woo?
What must be so hard for him?
His entire life,
he resented his birth mother.
And he thought the person who tried to steal him was his mom.
You forgot all those horrible memories.
You're hiding away from them.
But Si Woo is dealing with it while keeping himself together.
What are you talking about?
Are you making up ridiculous stories like that...
to manipulate my son, Si Woo?
- I'm warning you... - Enough, please.
I want to leave you too.
What?
You separated me from Si Woo,
treated me like an insect,
and humiliated me in front of other people.
Have you forgotten that too?
You have no idea how miserable you made me feel, do you?
I was able to swallow the pain and endure everything...
because I thought you gave birth to Si Woo.
However,
you're not his birth mother.
What did you just say?
To be honest, I wish I could run away like Seung Joo did.
I can't do that because of Si Woo.
And because you raised him for 30 years with love and affection.
That's why I'm enduring all this.
(It's My Life)
The things that stressed her out worsened her condition,
and her memories of what happened before that time are all mixed up.
She's staying in the master bedroom.
- Hey! - Why?
Are you upset because Nam Jin is a mistress' child?
How dare you?
It's been a while.
Ms. Choi? I think she's not feeling well.
