I've never heard that baekcheongcho can bloom flowers.
I completely forgot about it too.
But I saw baekcheongcho flowers in my dream.
When I woke up and thought about it,
I remembered that I saw one as a kid.
You saw this as a kid?
Yes, just once.
It was a morning with thick fog, like today.
I saw my dad picking baekcheongcho flowers.
I remembered when I saw Yeol Mae's drawing.
Yeol Mae knew about this too?
She has seen it when Ms. Jeong was alive.
We shouldn't stand around.
I should call Ms. Ko and make the dye first.
Gene Examination Center is something you see in dramas.
Why would Ji Na have an envelope from that place?
Gosh, something doesn't feel right.
Okay, yes.
Yes. Make sure you eat breakfast.
Okay.
Where are Chung Yi and Poong Do?
I made breakfast. Why don't I see them?
They went to work already.
Why didn't they tell me already?
I made breakfast for nothing.
I should have just slept in.
The rice cooker made rice. I went grocery shopping.
Chung Yi made side dishes.
You didn't do anything.
I have no idea what you're up to,
but be nice to Poong Do as our family while he's here.
Family, my foot.
You shouldn't eat only what you want from that age.
Why should she eat the red beans you don't want?
She has bad kidneys,
so she has had a lot of red beans as a kid.
That's why she loves it to this day. Isn't that right?
Oh, you're right.
She has bad kidneys like when Ji Na was young.
Why are you bringing up that old story?
I still feel heartbroken when I think about what she went through.
My appetite is gone.
Gosh, do you have to do that when the kids are watching you?
My gosh.
May I have some rice puffs as dessert?
What?
Sure. Eat it after you finish.
All right!
I thought my phone was on fire since the morning.
What on earth is it?
What is this flower?
Baekcheongcho flower.
This was the secret of the blue dye.
The flower?
Yes.
I think this flower could add to the depth of the blue shade.
I have done quite a lot of research on baekcheongcho too,
but I've never heard of this.
How can it suddenly bloom like this?
I think it needs a certain condition to let the flower bloom.
It's a very rare flower.
I sent the flower to the lab to get the color out of the petals.
Please check the sample once they're done.
Okay. This just woke me up.
How did it go?
There was a mistake...
during the DNA examination process.
I see.
I know it won't be easy.
She...
may have passed away,
so please look into that too.
(Baek Si Joon and Jeong Yeol Mae are 99.07 percent related.)
Baek Si Joon.
Why are you still looking for the child?
I told you that she's dead.
What if he finds out about Yeol Mae?
Why are you calling me after kicking me out like that?
Mom.
By any chance, did Baek Si Joon come looking for Yeol Mae?
That unlucky name.
Why are you bringing him up this early in the morning?
Did he come or not? Just tell me that.
Why would he come to this house?
He's not even related to his sister.
Why would he care about her?
That's why he abandoned her here.
Really?
Stop roaming about, okay?
Stay home and keep your eyes on Yeol Mae.
Things will get complicated if she mentions me to Baek Si Joon.
She isn't a dog.
It's not like I can put her on a leash.
Can't you just do what I ask?
You don't even do anything at home. Can't you do that?
I don't just stay at home.
I've been really busy lately too.
Doing what?
Oh, well...
I mean that I've been wanting to be very busy.
How long will you keep Yeol Mae around?
Heon Jeong and Chung Yi are here.
I have no other choice.
She might end up adopting her...
and naming her Sim Yeol Mae.
Anyway, why have you been suspiciously concerned about her?
Nothing is suspicious about this.
I have to go to work. Bye.
Hey, Ji Na!
Something is definitely going on with her.
Why have you been laughing like that?
The company is in turmoil because of baekcheongcho,
and Poong Do might get kicked out. It's like a storm is coming.
The sun comes back up...
after a storm. That's life.
Things that will work out, will work out in the end.
And people who must meet will end up meeting too.
That's how life flows.
What nonsense is that?
Monk Jae Ran, I hope you reach enlightenment.
You don't know.
The rice puffs flying everywhere...
felt like the mesmerizing Aurora.
Mom, did you eat something bad?
Why are you so relaxed?
Should I help out the company?
Don't be greedy.
Sometimes, rice puff is all you need to be happy.
You used to complain that I had no ambitions.
You're really strange.
Who bought all this?
It's good though.
I dreamed of you a few days ago.
I guess it was a sign that we'd meet again.
So, how do you feel now that we met?
What?
I always wondered...
what you'd say if we met again.
We parted ways over 27 years ago.
Do you know that?
It's been that long?
Did you keep count?
I feel sorry and guilty for what I put you through back then.
You struggled in the winter because the house was so cold.
No.
I never considered it a struggle.
Then why did you...
disappear without a word?
What do you mean?
You're the one who betrayed me.
I had no idea you'd do that for money.
What money?
Forget it.
Why should we bring up the past?
If you deserted me,
you should be living the life.
What's this mess?
I am a mess.
It's good to see you again.
How is your business doing?
What?
What? Does he think I really sell rice puffs?
Even so,
you won't sell any if you sell 3 dollars worth for 30 dollars.
- I'll buy everything. - What?
Call me when you make another batch.
I'll buy some more.
No, you don't have to do that.
Then and now, he's still too kind.
He haggled to pay less for bean sprouts.
Why did he buy all the rice puffs?
Hang on.
He didn't seem to know anything about the money.
What is with his fake name too, I have a lot to ask.
Should I show up again with rice puffs?
The love that left me
Will that day come?
When he returns to
She sounds like Lee Mi Ja.
She has such a beautiful voice.
She does.
(Spring Breeze Singing Contest)
Jo Heon Jeong!
Woo Yang. How did you find me?
What are you doing here?
Do you know how worried I was?
I said I'd be traveling.
I'm here on a trip.
I felt down and wanted some air.
I got to sing too.
And I won a prize.
The prize is 2,000 dollars.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why did you suffer on your own?
Did the hospital staff tell you?
You're not sick.
You don't have cancer.
I'm sorry.
What?
The hospital people messed up.
Those stupid idiots!
If you're sick, you should've told me first.
I'm your husband.
Why are you here moping on your own?
Woo Yang. Then am I...
really not sick?
(Little Lee Mi Ja's tearful reunion)
"Little Lee Mi Ja's tearful reunion"?
What's this? This is Mom and Dad.
Did these two go off, leaving the restaurant...
to the part-timer?
They make such a fuss of everything.
My goodness.
I think they made up. Can you be happy for them?
- Tae Yang. - Tae Yang.
Mom, Dad.
Hello.
To celebrate your reconciliation,
how about giving me a bonus?
You need to hand something out...
on a good day to reap the benefits.
What do you mean you'll pick Ma Poong Do?
No actual funds will be allocated.
It's just a promise to invest.
We'll save Ma Poong Do from a crisis,
but in the meantime, deal with Yeo Ji Na first.
That's the wrong order.
Yes, there are many probabilities,
but we must get rid of Ma Poong Do before Yeo Ji Na.
Even if we oust Ma Poong Do now,
the likelihood that you'll become chairman right away is slim.
I believe you sold most of your Jubo shares.
Director Baek.
You have more information than I thought.
Let Poong Do remain chairman in title only...
and focus on Ragok District for now.
Don't you need to recover the money Ji Na took from you?
I see you put a lot of effort into finding out about me.
I think Ji Na's very interested in the project.
She said she's willing to make an investment.
Isn't it obvious where she got the money from?
Well?
Is it the same?
No, not yet.
The blue has gotten deeper,
but something is still missing.
But it is a much better version than the last one.
We'll patent this formula...
and create a brand that represents Korea.
My goodness.
It looks like I won't ever starve, thanks to you.
You said you'd support me.
Did you change your mind?
Research is all good, but shall we leave?
I'm going to have ramyeon with your dad.
You can join us.
You don't have to be overly nice to Dad.
I'm sure you don't feel comfortable around him.
I understand your dad.
You understand him?
I also understand how you feel.
I resent your dad a lot,
but I also feel sorry for him.
I don't know what to do.
Right.
It drives me crazy.
You told me that...
eating together is the best way to get closer to Grandma.
You gave me great advice,
but why don't you live by it?
You're right.
I guess I'm small-minded.
Enjoy the ramyeon without me.
I'll work a bit more.
(Who in Jubo will secure 100 million dollars?)
(Where will HR's investment go to?)
Poong Do that brat...
Does he even have a plan?
Will you relax?
Aren't you nervous?
Why are you so calm?
Because I trust you and baekcheongcho.
Forward! To the battlefield!
You two were flirting again, weren't you?
Get up already, Ms. Sim.
(Jubo Group)
I'm not sure if an employee...
who is waiting to be assigned can show up in this meeting.
What are you going to do with that killer plant?
Then you can try eating some.
Let's see if you really die or not.
Are you crazy? What are you doing?
You're screaming and not dead. I guess you're fine.
Let's go, Ms. Sim.
Those brats.
What are you looking at? Bring me some water.
(Jubo Group)
I will announce the long-awaited decision to invest in...
one of the projects that you proposed.
HR Corporation decided...
to invest in the Goryeo project.
If we can recreate the shade of the "Portrait of a Beauty"...
by extracting the color from baekcheongcho flower,
we figured it would be worth over 100 million dollars.
I think you are overlooking something very important.
Baekcheongcho is a poisonous plant that can kill people.
More problems may arise during the development process,
but you are willing to invest 100 million dollars?
The claim on its harmfulness on the human body is...
false information.
These are the confirmation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare,
environmental organizations, and the FDA of the US.
Then are you saying people who took a part...
in the project all lied?
We need to investigate and see who's behind their lies.
Why are you sitting still?
Say something.
Are you mute now?
We lost 100 million dollars to that absurd Goryeo project.
And Ma Poong Do will now remain as the chairman too.
We didn't get anything out of this.
So why did you try to manipulate the public?
What are you talking about? Manipulating the public?
You spread false information...
claiming the harmfulness of baekcheongcho...
and bought people with money too.
Hey, Vice President Seo.
Who are you trying to blame for what you did?
Then why did you do something so unreasonable...
without asking me first?
Things aren't looking great.
You will face an investigation by the prosecution. Be ready.
Seo Pil Doo!
Oh, and...
you should step down from your team leader's position.
Did you expect to remain here...
after ruining this huge project?
Hey.
Get out of here before things become more troublesome.
Did you play around with me?
You were going to do this from the start, weren't you?
(Director Baek Si Joon)
It's a bit too easy to see how you took that blow...
without any backup plan.
Why did you trust me so easily?
You cheap jerk.
Does it feel great to betray me like this?
Do you feel better now?
You really don't regret or repent, do you?
I couldn't feel better with just this...
when I think about my mom who died because of you.
I need to see you crawl on the floor...
and begging me to just kill you instead.
I will give you so much pain that it'll only end when you die.
Let me tell you in advance.
The real game hasn't begun yet.
Things will get more interesting from now on.
Look forward to it.
Did you know the result beforehand?
Yes.
Baek Si Joon came to see me.
Si Joon?
We will be investing in the Goryeo project.
That was too easy.
Why?
I am after Seo Pil Doo and Yeo Ji Na.
I will leave...
once I get rid of them.
That doesn't sound too great for me.
It sounds as if...
you'll use Jubo Group to get your personal revenge.
I can't let you do that.
The investment will continue regardless of where I am.
A promise is a promise.
I didn't know that's what Si Joon had on his mind.
I think he is going to take down Yeo Ji Na first.
Darn it.
(Project, analysis, investment, proposals, Yeo Ji Na, collaboration)
What's with her?
You're right. She ran out as if she's running away.
I thought she was going to be angry at us...
for losing HR Corporation's investment, but she's quiet.
Ji Na, why are you here?
Mom, I don't like Grandma.
She's always harsh on me.
Why didn't you look after her? I told you to be considerate.
What are you talking about?
Mom? Are you crazy?
Are you going to ruin Ji Na's life?
Why are you being completely absurd?
Don't touch her!
Gosh, my tailbone probably broke.
Are you crazy?
How dare you take her side?
Don't lay a finger on my child.
Let's go, Yeol Mae.
Her child?
What is she saying?
Ji Na.
Ji Na!
What kind of an absurd dream was that?
Why do I keep seeing Yeol Mae and Ji Na together?
- Goodness. - What?
Where are you going? We have a business to run!
- What was that? - Darn it.
Woo Yang, do we have to keep using her?
Let's tell her to stop coming here.
If we tell her to quit, she'll get angry saying...
we're abusing power.
This is driving me insane.
That thing troubles me.
What gene examination?
I didn't do anything. I didn't go through anything.
I'm glad you're here. I was going to call you.
Let's leave.
The bankbook. Do you still have it?
The bankbook?
Why would we suddenly go somewhere?
Baek Si Joon is trying to kill me.
I'll pack up what I have.
Go to the bank and withdraw the money.
Well...
I'm sorry, Ji Na.
Why?
I don't have...
the money.
What?
Before, it felt like I was chewing on thorns,
but now I feel like I can eat this dish too.
Goodness, you still shouldn't eat a dish.
I'm getting kind of depressed between two couples.
I'll fill my empty heart with meat.
Poong Do, you should pay.
I'm loosening my belt.
Fine. Empty my wallet.
This is on me.
Heon Jeong and Chung Yi have been through a lot.
I'll pay in the name of love and friendship.
Boilermakers are a must on a day like this.
I have a license in making these.
You're a bit excited today.
It's bringing back bad memories of Hapjeong-dong.
Let's go!
There.
Okay.
- Here goes. - Go!
- Let's all drink. - Honey.
You're meeting Si Joon now?
He's still at work. I want to ask what he's up to.
Whether he was lying or what.
I'll come too.
No. We can't both leave the party.
Don't ruin the mood and stay.
Perhaps you can sing.
What?
Call if something happens. I'll come right over.
It wasn't a small amount. What did you do with it all?
He said if I invested three million,
I'd get 100,000 dollars each month.
I couldn't refuse the opportunity.
Mom.
You're teasing me, aren't you?
Because I was rotten and looked down on you,
you're doing this to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
I wish this were a dream too.
I really have nothing, Ji Na.
Mom.
Once I have enough to fly to America,
I can go over there and find Mr. Kang.
We'll get the money back and double and triple that.
That's impossible!
I told you my life depends on that money!
What should I do?
What do I do now?
Money is just money. Your life can't depend on it.
He got to me by mentioning...
a high-rise in Bonghwang-ri.
Silly me.
What did you just say?
Bonghwang-ri?
That project. Is it this?
It is this. You knew about it too?
Wait. I wasn't conned then?
Seo Pil Doo.
That scumbag.
- Ji Na. Where are you going? - That jerk.
We weren't conned then, right?
You should lie low.
You evil jerk.
In the end, you stabbed me in the back.
In the end!
I won't go down alone.
Even if I'm on a cliff's edge,
I'll jump holding you by the collar.
That's quite a threat considering you have nothing at all.
Seo Pil Doo.
I know the biggest secret you want to hide.
What?
Jo...
Ji...
Hwan.
What are you saying?
You're feigning ignorance?
Where did you hide him?
I know he's alive.
Sim Chung Yi's father Jo Ji Hwan!
(Blessing of the Sea)
If my father's really alive,
where could he be?
There must be a trace of him.
Let's start looking for that.
You're no longer of any use.
You colluded with Baek Si Joon to get rid of me, right?
Where's my money? Give it back!
Where's my money?
It's just the beginning.
Make sure she has no job or house to return to.
Jeong Yeol Mae is Ji Na's daughter?
Is Yeol Mae your daughter or not?
Tell me right now!
Stop it!
If Si Joon finds that out too, then I'm really done for.
I must cover that up at all costs.
