(It's My Life)
What?
I'm sure the late chairman left that house for Nam Jin!
I heard you're the one who stole the baby by Ms. Choi's request.
How dare you, an abductor, raise your voice to me?
- Ji Young, you heard her, right? - My goodness.
Excuse me. Did you abduct Mr. Ahn Nam Jin?
Ms. Choi asked you to do it, right?
No. It's not like that.
- What really happened... - Mr. Jo.
We might be late for the meeting.
- Stop asking questions. Let's go. - Don't stop me.
Is what you just said true?
What are you all doing?
I warned you, didn't I?
Bang Cheol Sang, you're fired as of today.
What? I'm fired?
Yes, and there's more.
If this leaks,
the company will sue you for damages.
Mr. Heo, please don't get me wrong.
Mr. Heo!
You little...
Gosh. Seriously.
Mother.
Yes? Oh, Si Woo... Si Woo.
Jin Ah.
(Hanguk Hospital)
- Then it's done? - Yes.
He said this would be the last treatment.
Your physical treatment is done today, right?
Yes.
Ms. Yang, I'm sorry for the trouble.
No problem.
Since your treatment is done,
let's all go somewhere to get some fresh air.
Get some fresh air? Where are we going?
There's a place I've always wanted to go to.
It'd be great if you could treat us to a nice meal too.
What do you say, Chung San?
Okay. Let's do that.
I have something to tell Ms. Yang.
This is great.
Right. This is it.
Dae Sik's mom bragged so much that her future daughter-in-law...
bought this outfit for her.
Since you have beautiful skin,
I think this one will also look great on you.
And...
this one too.
They're so many.
Just pick one.
Jin Ah, stop being angry.
I'm trying to be a good son-in-law for a change.
Mother, brag to everyone you know that your daughter...
and son-in-law bought these clothes for you.
Of course, I will.
Si Woo, thank you.
Thank you, Si Woo.
Don't say that.
This is the least I can do for my mother-in-law.
What do you think of this one, Si Woo?
Nice. You sure have great taste.
It will look great on Mother.
It's not for her.
I think it'll look great on Mother.
Don't worry about her.
Today is all about your mother.
Shall we go somewhere to eat?
- I'm hungry, Mother. - Okay. Let's go.
My goodness. Look at this.
Ms. Yang, you look fantastic.
I feel like I'm young again and back in school.
- It feels nice. - You look pretty.
- Ms. Heo, you look pretty too. - Oh, my.
Chung San.
Oh, my. Look at you.
Since you're wearing this, you look like Chun Sik,
my hometown friend who was the smartest in school.
Wait. Oh, right.
You should carry this school bag under your arm too.
Try this hat on too.
This reminds me of the old days.
Right, Chung San?
Was this what you always wanted to do?
Yes.
Well, Ms. Heo, let's take...
Let's take a photo.
- A photo? That sounds great. - Yes.
- Okay. - Chung San.
All right.
Chung San, look here.
Smile.
1, 2, 3.
Come on. Smile a little.
1, 2, 3.
I'll take a photo of you two.
- Hey. - It's okay.
Move a little closer to each other.
Closer.
Make a heart with your fingers.
Chung San, smile.
They must have contacted Seung Joo when her leave of absence ended.
She seems to have asked for her employment to be terminated.
I'll leave for the day.
I'll go with you.
I'll leave for the day too.
Forget it.
Come on. Don't be like this.
Shall we eat dinner together and go to an escape room?
You like to play that game.
Escape room game, my foot.
I want to escape from you.
Ms. Kim! Yun Hee!
See you tomorrow.
Hey, Nam Jin.
I'll go to Minhan and give them the purchase order.
And I'll move back to my house today.
But you said your heater is broken.
Yes, it's broken.
But I have a heating mat at home.
I shouldn't have provoked Jin Ah's mom yesterday.
I only worsened the situation.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
Will you go all the way to Minhan carrying that suitcase?
I'll deliver the purchase order.
You will? Will that be okay?
Seung Joo must be there.
I'm going to talk to her in person.
About what?
I should let her go now.
I don't want her to suffer because of me anymore.
Welcome.
- Hi. - Hello.
You said you were going on a business trip.
Are you back already?
Yes. I finished work early.
A business trip? What are you talking about?
You were in the office, Mr. Lee.
Me? No, I wasn't.
I went to Daegu on a business trip.
When?
You said you were going to China.
That's right.
I was supposed to go to China, but my work schedule changed.
So I went to Daegu instead.
You went to Daegu instead of China?
Goodness. I know nothing about your work,
but I can tell that you're lying.
Hey. I'm not lying. You brat.
Gosh. What's going on, Dad?
Do you have a girlfriend? Who is she?
You even lied you were going on a business trip. What did you do?
Fine. I slept over at Nam Jin's house.
At Nam Jin's house? Why?
No way. Was it because of Ms. Choi?
No. I had something to take care of.
You could've said you were going to Mr. Ahn's house.
Why did you lie that you were going on a business trip?
It's only natural for us to be suspicious.
I made it clear that I wouldn't accept Ms. Choi.
Dad, do you still have feelings for her?
Gosh. Seriously.
Are you going somewhere, Ms. Choi?
Yes. I'm going on a trip.
You know that today was my last day at work, right?
Yes.
You'll work as the new managing director's secretary.
So continue working here.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
And this is a token of my gratitude.
Thank you for your hard work.
No, Ms. Choi. You don't have to do this.
Just take it.
Come in.
Hello.
What brings you here?
Seung Joo is at the factory right now.
No. I came here to give you the purchase order.
I see. Have a seat.
- Give us some tea, please. - Okay.
You could've sent Mr. Lee or Mr. Koo.
Seeing that you came here...
Do you have something to tell me?
Yes.
I handed in my resignation letter.
What? Why?
I want to carve my own destiny on my own,
not as someone's son or someone's grandson.
My goodness. Why?
All that's left is to succeed while leading Hyunkang.
I want to be myself and lead my life as I want now.
So I came here to say goodbye to you two.
I grew up without knowing what a father's love is like.
And you always treated me with warm affection.
Thank you for that.
And Ms. Ko.
Thank you so much for being so kind and good to me,
calling me your future son-in-law.
As for Seung Joo...
Please take good care of her.
I hope you take care of yourselves too.
Thank you. I hope you take care too.
Mr. Ahn.
I'll be rooting for you.
- Is this it? - Yes.
You look like you've lost some weight.
You're not sick, right?
I'm sorry.
You had to go through all that trouble because of me.
I'll let you go now.
It's been a while, Seung Joo.
Have you been well?
How's work? Is it going well?
You've been well too, right?
I came to drop off our purchase order...
and thought I should say hi.
I've...
submitted my letter of resignation.
What?
I want to try something new.
I want to work very hard...
and start my own company.
I'm certain that you'll do a great job.
You went through so much, Seung Joo.
I'm sorry for all the anxiety...
and heartaches I've caused you.
I just had to give up on my greed,
but it was so hard to do so.
Forget everything now.
I hope only happy things await you.
I hope the same for you.
Don't be workaholic.
Take good care of your health too.
You too.
I'll be off, then.
What?
Nam Jin said he wants to leave the company?
Yes.
Maybe he just said it because he was upset.
Could it be because of Jin Ah's mom?
Jin Ah's mom? What did she do?
Don't even get me started.
She says that Si Woo is the only legitimate son of the family...
so Ms. Choi and Ms. Yang...
must leave since they're not related to the family.
She's been going on about it every day.
What?
That is crazy.
Both Nam Jin and Si Woo are Chairman Ahn's grandsons,
and that house is co-owned by the two of them.
That being said,
I'd like to ask you to persuade Nam Jin...
not to leave the company, Ms. Yang.
- Me? - Yes.
Chairman Ahn wanted his two grandsons...
to collaborate and run Hyunkang together.
I can't even imagine...
Hyunkang without Nam Jin.
I'd like to...
leave him be so that he can do what he wants to do.
Pardon?
Parents...
just have to be there for their children and root for them...
with faith that they'll do a good job.
Nam Jin obviously made that decision for a reason.
I'll just let him do what he wants.
I guess no one's home.
Ms. Yang? Ms. Heo?
It looks like they're both out.
Si Woo, about that woman,
Ms. Heo or whatever her name is.
I think she goes out 3 to 4 times a week.
Gosh, she really irks me.
Well, I'll take care of all the housework. Let's fire her.
Mom.
Okay, fine.
Jin Ah, shall we have some fruit?
- We have fruit, right? - Yes.
Don't worry, guys. Go get changed. I'll do it.
That wench doesn't even let me talk.
Oh, my. It's so beautiful.
Where were you?
Do we have to get your permission before we go out or what?
Ms. Yang can go out,
but you get paid to do this job. How could you go out...
whenever you want?
I don't get paid.
What?
I worked for Chairman Ahn all my life.
That's why I help out with the housework here.
Why work here if you're not even getting paid?
Are you expecting something else?
You assume others would think just like you do, don't you?
Not everyone thinks like you do, okay?
Why do you ask? Shall I move out too?
Is that what you want?
No, that's not what I meant.
Well, I never said you should move out.
Okay?
Yes, Mr. Jang.
Is Ms. Choi home by any chance?
No, it doesn't look like she's home yet.
Her phone is off.
Did she say she was going anywhere after work?
As far as I remember, no.
Okay. Let's wait a little longer, then.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
What's the matter, Si Woo?
It looks like my mother packed up and left.
What? She's not even well. She left by herself?
My gosh, what do we do?
What if she takes her own life or something like that?
Takes her own life?
Gosh, no way.
What should we do?
That man... What's his name? Right, Mr. Jang.
The man she's close to. Wouldn't she be with him now?
No, he's not with her now.
I spoke with him on the phone just now.
Yes.
She left with a suitcase, saying she's going away on a trip?
I see.
Okay, thank you.
What did she say?
Ms. Yoo doesn't know either.
She last saw her as she was leaving work.
- Gosh. - I'm back.
Nam Jin.
Why is everyone gathered here?
We have a big problem. Ms. Choi is gone.
What? What do you mean she's gone?
It looks like she packed up and left.
What?
Have you called the police?
A missing person report can't be filed until 24 hours have passed.
Still, you shouldn't sit here and do nothing.
We should do everything we can do to find her.
She is not that weak.
Si Woo, I never thought you could be so heartless.
Whatever happened, she's your mother.
How could you do nothing to help her?
Why are you yelling at Si Woo?
Her birth son should find her.
Nam Jin, you can go out and find her.
Stay out of this, please.
You bought new clothes for your mother-in-law,
- who yelled at your mom to get out. - Why would you do that?
But how could you not care how Ms. Choi must feel...
when she raised you with love and affection?
Please stop it, Mom. That's not important now.
To be honest, you didn't suffer any damage.
You got everything you wanted.
You married the girl you like...
and will inherit Hyunkang. You achieved everything you wanted.
I'll look for her first thing in the morning.
What if she gets in trouble before then?
I'm too worried.
I'll go out and look for her.
She packed all her clothes and left.
If she was going to hurt herself, she would've left without her stuff.
I know my mom well.
He's right.
Nothing bad will happen.
Let's wait for her tonight.
That security guard is the one who stole Mr. Ahn from the hospital.
My goodness.
Don't you think it's not right to let an abductor like him...
to work here as a security guard?
Of course, it's wrong.
It's like having the wolf to guard the sheep.
Mr. Heo decided to fire him.
So let's wait a little while.
What? Did Mr. Jo spread the word already?
Gosh. What's wrong with him?
Why does he have such a big mouth?
What?
Did you say that Ms. Choi went missing?
Yes. Mr. Choi reported her missing to the police this morning.
I see. Please tell me...
- if you hear anything. - Yes, sir.
What is it?
Well... Will you really...
fire me?
Damaging the company's reputation alone...
can be a just cause for dismissal.
Why did you make a scene at the lobby yesterday?
Actually, I heard Jin Ah's mom had told Ms. Choi...
to leave her house...
and had told Sun Ja to leave too, when she has nothing to do with it.
So I blurted out a few words because I was angry.
She says that Si Woo is the only legitimate son of the family...
so Ms. Choi and Ms. Yang...
must leave since they're not related to the family.
She's been going on about it every day.
In fact, because of what I did last time,
I've already been scolded by you harshly.
You see,
I heard there's the prohibition against double jeopardy...
or something like that in law too.
Don't you think it's unfair...
to fire me because of what you already scolded me for?
You're in no position to talk about the law.
Right. I'm sorry.
Please give me another chance. Please.
I saved your life.
If you had driven your car...
without knowing that you had otolithiasis,
you could have died in an accident. Aren't I right?
What happened?
Why is Ms. Choi missing?
Mr. Choi and I reported her missing to the police this morning.
We're waiting for their call to get her phone records.
I knew this would happen.
She looked fine at the ceremony, so I wasn't worried about her.
Who would have known she would disappear so quietly?
She seemed very anxious before the ceremony.
I should have paid more attention to her.
Hello? Where?
I see. I'll head over right now.
What did they say?
Her phone was turned off in Hanguk Hotel.
She must have stayed there.
Let's go.
Ms. Choi Soo Hee, we're the police.
Please open the door.
Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi?
Let's go home, Mom.
Everyone is worried about you.
No. I won't go back.
I feel suffocated in that house.
Every night,
the late chairman and Kim So Young appear in my dreams.
I'm scared.
I'm not going back there.
Don't be like this. Let's go home, Mom.
Don't touch me.
I'm not going back.
Please send them away.
I want to stay here, officer.
(It's My Life)
A reporter found out that Ms. Choi went missing?
A police reporter seems to have found out by accident.
I guess I got sick because I missed Si Woo.
What do you mean you missed Si Woo?
Si Woo is studying abroad, you know.
I'll quit soon, but I'll work at the factory until I quit.
- You'll quit? - I applied for FIT in New York.
