(Episode 67)
You must stay strong.
Don't even think about blaming it on yourself.
So Dam, my sweetheart. You overcame so many things.
So I'm sure you'll be able to overcome this as well.
"So Dam, my sweetheart"?
She definitely called So Dam "my sweetheart".
How are they so close?
(Funeral Hall)
There's someone...
who has even done worse just so she could save her mom.
It's time for you to step up your game and do more.
I really don't understand why you're doing this.
I told you already. I'm doing this for Se Hyun.
No way.
Did she approach So Dam on purpose because she knew...
that she liked Se Hyun?
So Dam.
Have you ever told Ms. Hong...
that you like Se Hyun?
So Yu.
To be honest, I never liked Se Hyun.
What?
Ms. Hong told me...
that she wanted me to stop you and Se Hyun from getting married.
Then...
are you saying she asked you to lie?
- Yes. - Then...
was Ms. Hong also the one who offered you...
the surrogacy?
I just overheard her by coincidence.
By coincidence?
How can you overhear something like that by coincidence?
It was when you were busy trying to get money for Mom's surgery...
after we found out that she needed a liver transplant.
I went to the bathroom during practice,
and that's when I suddenly heard her talk in one of the stalls.
It's fine as long as she's not under age.
We'll pay as much as they ask.
If she goes to the States for one year...
and gets it done without anyone knowing,
she'll be able to come back and live like nothing ever happened.
Are you saying someone as meticulous as Ms. Hong...
made a phone call like that in a bathroom?
I'm serious.
Have you ever thought that she could've done that on purpose?
That's absurd.
She was totally against it at first.
She scolded me saying Se Hyun will get angry if he finds out...
and that I should never bring it up ever again.
Se Hyun?
How did she know you were acquainted with him?
When I first ran into Se Hyun in the company building,
Ms. Hong was there as well.
Just like you can do everything for your mom,
keep in mind that I can also do everything...
for Se Hyun.
I finally get it now.
I came to say goodbye.
But are you locked up right now?
No, I'm not locked up.
But what do you mean you came to say goodbye?
I'm leaving Korea today.
What? Why are you leaving all of a sudden?
I'm going to live with my family and be with the people I love...
so that I can build up my self-esteem again.
"Come back once you're better."
"I'll call you if I ever go to the States."
You can't even say that, can you?
I'm sure you want to be with So Yu right now.
Are you here because of your dad?
How about I give you a gift before I leave?
A gift?
See you off?
I want him to see me off.
What's going to happen between you two?
We'll stay friends for now.
But later on, if we both can't find anyone...
I'll try my best to convince him and send him to the States.
And once he's there, you and your father can seal the deal.
Does that mean you're going to let Seo Jun...
see me off?
I feel grateful and apologetic even up to this moment.
I'm impressive, aren't I?
You dumped a really impressive woman.
You're right.
You should go.
I'm sorry I can't see you off.
I don't want you to see me off when you want to be somewhere else.
So hurry up and go.
Why would you go on a diet? You're pretty already.
Seo Jun! Stop right there!
(Rest in peace, From all the employees at LX Group)
But why was it So Dam and not me?
Why was So Dam her target?
Did you get some sleep?
Did you eat?
I can't help but ask you those questions...
even though I know you're going to lie...
because that's what I'm curious about the most.
Thank you.
Chae Young also thanked you for helping us out so much.
I have...
no memory of my mom whatsoever.
So when I saw how obsessed you were...
to earn money for your mom's treatment,
I could understand you, but at the same time, I couldn't.
But I think I can understand you a lot better now.
When she found out about the surrogacy...
and went to my sister's house,
she couldn't slap my sister not even once.
She seemed so angry, and her fists were clenched so hard,
but she didn't want anything bad to happen to So Dam.
She even begged in front of my sister...
saying she'll keep her mouth shut.
And that's when I found out...
that mothers can do anything...
for their children.
(Rest in peace, From Jang Mi Ri)
The executive director must be getting dragged away again.
What do you mean?
He got dragged away yesterday as well.
According to Tae Bok,
a bodyguard follows him around even to the bathroom.
It's probably so that he won't come here.
Judging by the way he took care of your mom's funeral,
I could see that he truly likes you.
He was so meticulous and took care of everything with so much care.
The workers here...
kept asking if he's your fiance.
I do crave that a little.
Anything's fine.
I'll send it to you if you want to upload it on your social media page.
Why would you take a photo of someone else?
I want you to delete it right now.
Okay, sure. I'll delete it once you bring me 200,000 dollars.
Did you follow me?
I'm a really busy person.
I don't have time to follow you around.
I looked your way while I was shopping...
because you guys were being way too affectionate.
And it turns out, it was you two.
You guys came out nicely, didn't you?
You look great from the side.
You better not touch a thing.
Or else, I'll report you to the cops.
There are CCTVs everywhere. Give me that.
I'll let you pay in installments.
50,000 dollars a week for a whole month.
I'm being really nice right now.
Your coat is pretty. Where did you get it?
No wonder it looked so expensive.
I should get one too.
I'm not even going to bother calling your husband.
If you don't wire me 50,000 dollars within this week,
I'm going to send this photo to your dad.
Which one should I send him?
You'll never be able to beat me.
Wiring me money is your only way out of this.
So keep that in mind.
Are you really going to give her 200,000 dollars?
I'm not crazy.
But if you don't, she's going to send the photo to your dad.
What if I get dragged away...
and get beaten up with golf clubs just like what happens in movies?
This is driving me crazy.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, you're a good-looking guy.
Why haven't you slept with her yet?
Why are you still taking her to movie theaters and malls?
If you keep being such a gentleman,
you won't even get 3,000 dollars let alone 30,000.
Okay, I'll try my best.
Thank you.
What? 50,000 dollars?
Did she give you a discount from 200,000 to 50,000 dollars?
She wants me to wire her 50,000 dollars every week.
If I don't, she said she'll send a photo to my dad.
A photo? She took a photo of you?
- What kind of photo? - It's just...
Did she catch you at a motel?
- No. - Then what?
She won't easily back off.
I just want to end this by giving her 50,000 dollars.
I'm so exhausted, Aunt Myung Shim.
What's the use of having a lot of shares?
I feel so miserable right now.
Tell Yoon Tae's ex-wife to come here.
- What? - I have the money,
so tell her she should come here and get it from me.
Let's just wire it to her.
You don't know what she might end up doing if you upset her.
I'll be the one to either get beaten up...
or beat her up.
So just send her to my restaurant.
Seo Jun.
Father, Seo Jun's here.
Gosh, you should've dealt with him more carefully.
Take him upstairs.
It seems like you're planning to run away again.
But I'm going to have them guard the door all night,
so don't even dream of it.
Do you think I'm Romeo and she's Juliet?
It's not like I'm insisting on marrying your enemy's daughter.
Why are you being like this?
I'd rather have you marry...
my enemy's daughter than that gold-digger.
I had a special relationship with So Yu's mom.
Special, my foot. How special would it have been?
Stop putting on a show. You can't fool me anymore.
Dad, what are you doing?
(Mi Ri)
I'll end up getting drunk...
regardless of how many shots I have.
And I cannot fall asleep for I am lonely tonight.
So I'll just look up at the stars in the night sky all by myself.
I wonder if she's drinking.
(Mi Ri)
I went to a funeral today.
We can never predict what's going to happen in life.
And the fact that I'm not even able to meet the person I miss...
is making me so sad, so I'm drinking right now.
You don't miss me, do you?
Fine, whatever. Good for you, Jin Bok.
Mi Ri...
is the only person that can make me laugh.
How much did you send?
"Good for you, Jin Bok."
You shouldn't have sent that part.
You're the one who told me to send it.
You should stop now. He's not even replying.
He's probably laughing.
He told me that he laughs out loud...
every time I send him texts like this.
He told me that I'm the only person that can make him laugh...
in this entire world.
You should stop drinking.
You'll get a ruptured bowel again.
You couldn't work last time because of that.
I'll end up getting drunk
Regardless of how many shots I have
What are you talking about?
The more you drink, the more wasted you'll get.
And I cannot fall asleep for I am lonely tonight
So I'll just look up at the stars in the night sky all by myself
We can't see any stars these days because of the fine dust.
I miss Jin Bok.
Hurry up and send him a text.
Gosh, the chairman will get angry.
He won't get angry.
He'll laugh out loud like this.
I miss you, Jin Bok.
I miss you too.
I'll end up getting drunk
Regardless of how many shots I have
(Charnel House)
(Late Oh Geum Hee)
Mom.
Don't worry about So Dam and rest in peace.
Don't be sick anymore.
Stay healthy...
until we meet again.
If I ever get to be born again, I want to be born as your daughter.
I love you, Mom.
Why are you doing this right now?
So Yu.
You should take some rest.
You didn't get any sleep.
I feel like I'll go crazy if I don't do anything.
Can you believe...
that this is all my mom owned throughout her entire life?
There's not a single decent outfit.
This one.
And this one.
She used to wear these clothes ever since I was young.
So...
why did why my mom have to die saying she's sorry...
with a huge scar in her heart?
Why?
I really can't forgive them.
The netizens are already taking revenge for you.
Choi Seo Hyung won't be able to live in Korea anymore.
People are even boycotting the movies...
that stars the actors and actresses of our agency.
If this all turns out be Hong Baek Hee's scheme,
I'm not going to forgive her.
I'm going to return what she did to me and So Dam...
by taking revenge a hundredfold.
That's how my mom...
will be able to rest in peace.
- What's wrong? - I need to go somewhere.
Right now? You'll collapse at this rate.
You didn't eat or sleep for days.
Where are you going to go in this state?
I told you that you should go home and take some rest.
What is it that you must tell me today?
Have you ever talked to your mom about So Dam?
What do you mean?
It seemed like Ms. Hong was very well acquainted with her.
I'm not sure.
She's your sister, so maybe that's why...
I thought she was your first love.
So Dam?
Why did you think that?
It was a few days before you were scheduled to leave to the States,
and you seemed really excited...
when you ran into So Dam in the lobby.
That was because she told me about So Yu.
I didn't even know that.
She mistook So Dam for you.
What do you mean?
She thought So Dam was my first love.
Why would she think that?
I must've been really excited when I coincidentally...
rain into So Dam at the company lobby...
because I thought I'd get to see you again.
But my mom thought...
it was because I met So Dam.
That's why...
What do you mean?
How much...
do you think you know about your mom?
She never shows it when she's having a hard time,
so I may not know everything.
But I pretty much have a grasp. Why do you ask?
I also don't know everything about my mom.
But if someone tells me...
that my mom used to be really greedy and selfish,
I can be sure that they're just telling a lie.
What about you?
Wouldn't all children react the same way?
Would you also feel that way?
What is it that you want to say?
Are you saying there's something I don't know about my mom?
So Yu.
She might not be the person you think she is.
What do you mean?
If it turns out that she's causing harm to other people...
because she loves you way too much,
you're the only person that can stop her.
Why do you keep beating around the bush?
You need to be more straightforward.
Are you saying my mom did something bad to you behind my back?
I pretty much deserved it.
Then who are you talking about?
- So Dam. - What?
It's just so terrible...
that I also hope I'm mistaken.
Can you reveal the truth for me?
That's the only way my mom will be able to rest in peace.
Are you saying there's something I don't know about my mom?
She might not be the person you think she is.
I have something to say to you.
Where's my mom?
What's going on?
Her hand is ice-cold.
There's a blanket in the trunk of my car.
You should've prevented her from saying anything...
by forcing her to keep her mouth shut.
How could you let Seo Jun find out?
I already did what I could to make So Yu keep her mouth shut...
when she suddenly showed up at my place this morning.
But how... How could you ruin everything like this?
Stop looking at me as if I'm the one who killed her mom.
I didn't kill her!
- Mom. - What?
Se Hyun.
When did you come home?
Is there something wrong? Why are you drinking with no food?
- Mom. - Okay, just a second.
I also wanted a glass myself.
I'll make us some snacks. How about some canapes?
Mom.
Yes? What's wrong?
Please sit down. There's something I need to ask.
Why? What is it?
How much did you intervene with So Dam's surrogacy?
What do you mean?
You and I both know...
that Seo Hyung isn't capable of doing something like that...
without your help.
So please tell me the truth.
I'm a little hungry.
I'll go make us some snacks.
Mom!
Even in movies, cops buy ox bone soup for criminals...
while they interrogate them.
My own son is treating me like a criminal right now.
Can't I at least have the freedom to go get myself a drink?
What do you want to know?
Who's the one that offered the surrogacy to So Dam?
"Offer"?
No one offered her anything.
- Then how did she end up... - Last year...
No, wait. Has it been two years already?
Seo Hyung asked me to come to the practice room...
because she was going to choose the final members for Pink Bubble.
That's when I first met So Dam.
No, that wasn't the first time.
It was the second time after I saw her with you in the lobby.
I didn't even look at her in the eyes...
because people cause a huge fuss about favoring people these days.
Then, I made a phone call in the bathroom...
saying I need a volunteer for a surrogate mother.
In the bathroom?
Why would you...
Don't you know Seo Hyung?
She pressured me every time she ran into me.
Tae Woong ran away from home.
He told me he's going to file for divorce if I don't get pregnant.
If he says anything to the press,
my dad will kill me.
Okay, I'm looking for someone, so just give me some time.
Tae Woong is driving me crazy.
I'm so annoyed.
So?
So I made a phone call in the bathroom near the practice room.
I asked the broker to find someone to be a surrogate mother...
and that we'll pay as much money as we need to.
But So Dam happened to overhear my phone call.
Are you really saying that was all a coincidence?
Then what?
What are you thinking right now? Let me hear you say it out loud.
What did you hear about me?
It's just weird.
Why did it have to be in that bathroom on that specific day?
You're a very careful person.
You'd never let anyone overhear a phone call like that...
unless it was on purpose.
Who gave you that idea?
Anyone would be able to assume that...
Are you saying I did something...
that everybody can predict?
Why? Why would I do that?
That's exactly what I'm asking.
I can't tell you because there is no reason.
I think So Yu thinks you did everything on purpose.
Do you... Do you think I'm a deity or something?
Are you saying I waited until So Dam entered the bathroom...
and made a phone call regarding the surrogacy right when she came in?
My goodness.
Why don't you just say I pushed So Yu's mom and killed her?
I'd rather feel less upset about that.
Are you telling the truth?
Se Hyun.
I'm... I'm really upset.
Even if everyone ends up accusing me,
shouldn't you be the one to step up and deny that?
You're the one and only person that can trust me.
But you're interrogating me like I'm some kind of a criminal.
I might as well just bite my tongue and die right here.
How could you do this to me? How could you treat me like this?
Do you know how much I tried to stop her back then?
Shouldn't you have checked with So Dam...
before you hurt your own mom like this?
Did she tell you...
that I made her do it?
Let's go see her right now and confront this issue.
Let's go. Come on.
I can't live my life feeling so upset.
Let's go. Let's go right now.
- Mom. - Let's go.
- Please calm down. - "Calm down"?
Would you be able to calm down...
even when your own son is suspicious of you?
If I could, I'd take out my heart and show you how I feel.
How could... How could you doubt me?
How could you doubt me of all people?
How? How?
Mom, I'm sorry. I apologize, so please...
Mom. Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
(Gangnam Scandal)
There will be a bloodbath in LX Group.
An exchange in executives.
They're going to appoint Hong Se Hyun as the CEO.
On whose terms?
Ms. Choi's surrogacy might've gotten revealed because of...
Don't you want to know...
who told the press about the surrogacy?
- Who was it? - You need to pay me first.
No one in the Choi family lets anyone push them around.
I'm going to take revenge no matter what.
