How much would you...
offer me, Mr. Chairman?
Tell me what you want.
I'd like to become the CEO...
of Hansung Apparel in the future.
All right!
I will get Tae Ju...
to work at Hansung Apparel for two years.
Then I will promote him...
as Vice Chairman of HS Group.
When that happens,
I'll appoint you to the position...
where Jeon In Suk is on right now.
Instead,
I want you to take care of Tae Ju nicely and surely.
And to watch him tightly...
so that Jeon In Suk can't...
boss him around.
Stop her from doing as she pleases.
Do you understand?
In two years, I'll make Hansung Apparel...
the top company in the field.
In return, I'd like you...
to keep the promise you made to me.
The more I see you, the more I like you.
(Episode 45)
You'll do what?
I've decided to return to the company.
Why?
I don't want to suffer alone. It's unfair.
Especially, I don't want my life to be ruined...
because of that woman anymore.
I told you...
not to call your mom, that woman.
You saw it that day.
You heard everything she said.
Right, all right.
She's that cold-hearted, but she's still your mom.
She's so mean, but she's still your mom.
You two are mother and daughter,
and that's never going to change.
It has been decided from up above.
No one can decide who my mom is.
It's up to me.
You really...
If you keep being like this,
your late dad will be heartbroken.
I don't even remember...
his face.
Mi Ri.
Must you...
return to that company...
where your mom is?
Can't you just go somewhere much better?
No,
why don't you go study abroad?
I feel so anxious to have you with your mom.
Don't be.
It's that woman who should be anxious, not you.
Enough! I told you to stop!
I won't come to see you anymore...
if you keep telling me this kind of stuff.
Fine, don't come.
Have you got no courtesy?
I told you to stop calling her that woman.
Anyway, I'll get going.
Take care. I'll call you.
Mi Ri.
Hey, Mi Ri.
Goodness, what should I do with her?
Why are you so stunned?
You're frozen like stone statues.
Ms. Kang.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Let's go in.
I heard you suggested...
we cancel the contract with Chairwoman Wang.
Like I told you the other day,
we must cancel this contract.
It isn't just my personal opinion,
but that of all executives.
Please accept it, sir.
What do you think, Ms. Kang?
In terms of one-on-one trade business...
between Hwayoung Apparel and Hansung Apparel,
it'll be our loss in a long term.
However, this contract was made...
in consideration for the future...
of Hansung Group and Hwayoung Group...
instead of just Hwayoung Apparel.
A relationship with a Chinese firm...
changes according to the political situations.
We can't predict...
the future relationship between China and Korea.
Isn't that too reckless of a decision?
This business started under the premise...
that the situations would change.
The affiliates of Hansung Group will have...
an enormous amount of profits through this.
But that isn't guaranteed either.
It doesn't mean it's never going to work out either.
What do you think, Mr. Han?
Like Ms. Jeon mentioned, the business with China...
may become highly unsure according to situations.
It's like gambling in a sense.
However, it's something we must not miss...
even with the high risk.
Thus, instead of Hansung Apparel,
the headquarters should form a team...
to list up the affiliates that can make profits...
in a short period of time.
But this is Hansung Apparel.
We've got to make profits.
We can't turn a blind eye on the imminent crisis...
for the sake of the group's future profit.
We'll fill up the profits from somewhere else...
instead of Chairwoman Wang.
Have you got any idea?
I know you're discussing...
a business with Sunghyun Group.
How is it going?
I have been reported this morning...
that Sunghyun Group sent us...
their conditions.
Let's make our business with them...
a little more favorable to us.
Hwayoung and Sunghyun are run by the same family.
Things will go much more smoothly than before.
I see.
All right then. Are we keeping...
the contract with Chairwoman Wang?
Young people are quick...
in thinking and making decisions.
We, oldies, might fall behind at this rate.
Let's be careful.
I'm glad I came today.
This is crazy.
Ms. Kang is really back? For real?
I told you many times already.
Yes, she's back.
She's in the general meeting right now.
But I just can't believe it.
Kang Mi Ri, that stuck-up, is back?
To work under the newbie...
whom she trained herself?
Besides, she missed her dream...
to be the youngest executive because of him.
It means she's made a hard decision.
She's so impressive.
She cut her hair short too.
Mr. Park, what are you thinking this time?
Well, I just can't understand.
She's never the kind of person who'd do this.
I actually don't know how to react to this.
As a team member,
I'm happy that she's back.
But to be all happy,
I don't know what she has in her mind.
Just be positive about it.
You'll be faced with such situations...
as you get promoted higher.
But is Ms. Kang back for real?
Enough already.
How have you been, everyone?
Long time no see.
I'm sorry I left the team...
all of a sudden like that.
I won't repeat the same thing anymore.
It's okay, Ms. Kang. Please don't be sorry.
Anyway, welcome back.
And thank you for coming back.
Right. I'm grateful enough that you're back.
We missed you, Ms. Kang.
Welcome back.
We'll be better.
But why are you back, Ms. Kang?
Thank you. I'll let you work then.
Mr. Park.
But I really don't understand.
Why is she back?
So, did Mi Ri leave?
Yes.
She's so strange.
This way and that way. She quit, then went back.
Yes, it could've been a protest of sorts,
but Mi Ri's not that kind of girl.
She makes up her mind...
and sticks to it for good, doesn't she?
Oh, well,
this might sound harsh,
but you need to act as if this is...
another family's issue.
You did more than enough.
Now think as if you married her off.
It's another family's issue?
And you call yourself an uncle?
See if you can say that when you have kids.
If one settles down, another acts up.
When we deal with that, someone else has issues.
That's why I won't get married.
Kids cause you worry until the day you die.
Nothing's truly solved until you're dead.
Good for you that you are still single.
All three girls grew up well.
That's good enough.
They're not grown up.
They still need to grow up.
What good are kids? Seriously.
It's done. Thank you and goodbye.
- Thanks. - Bye.
Mi Sun, let's have lunch.
Girls, work hard until we get back.
- Okay. - Enjoy your meal.
We won't be long.
(Kim Jeong Sook)
What's this? Did you really find one?
Yes.
She's the best babysitter.
Her previous employers...
had her raise all their kids over seven years.
My gosh.
They let her go...
because the family's emigrating to the US.
On her last day,
all the kids cried as they said goodbye.
She even invited the kids over,
and they spent four days with her family.
She must be so warmhearted.
She's not just warmhearted.
I heard she has a great character.
So many are calling now that she's free.
But who am I?
I'm Suh Kyung Jin and I got her number.
You're the best.
Thank you so much.
The thing is, she charges a lot.
I know, I'm prepared.
Da Bin's education comes first.
Call her today and arrange an interview.
She doesn't work on weekends.
You must take a day off to meet her.
Okay. I'll do that.
This is great.
You said your husband wasn't pleased.
He complained that your mom stressed him out.
How will he deal with a complete stranger?
So what if he can't manage?
He won't look after Da Bin either.
Did you sell his bike?
Like I said, this woman's good but expensive.
I know that.
I just can't figure out where he hid the bike.
He definitely took it somewhere.
You must find it.
You bet.
I must find it.
I'm so glad I found someone nice.
Thanks so much.
Tomorrow's lunch is on you.
Of course.
I'll treat you to something nice.
- Thanks. - I'm glad it worked out.
Even so, you can't...
pile everything up in the garden.
I get complaints from the residents every day.
What's this?
My goodness.
I apologize.
Take everything away this instant.
Okay, I will.
If they aren't gone today,
people are threatening to call the district office.
Okay, I'll take everything away today.
I just don't know what to do with you.
Where should I send you all?
(Do Not Touch, Construction Materials)
This is killing me.
- Oh, dear. - Hello.
Why is it so hot today?
Did you go somewhere?
Yes.
I met an old friend from my reporter days.
We had lunch together...
and I just got back.
Oh, I see.
You retired quite a while ago.
Are you still close with your old colleagues?
I'm not sure if it's because of...
the newspaper companies' unique culture,
but compared to other industries,
we all get very close to each other.
Even now, a lot of us keep in touch...
and meet often.
Isn't that...
because you're such a good person?
Thank you so much for saying so.
I'm not just saying so.
You truly seem like a good person.
This won't do. I should go.
I'm too embarrassed to stay.
Why was I here?
Right, a pick-me-up.
- Can I have one? - Sure.
Do you want your usual?
Give me the expensive one.
Okay, just a moment.
It's so hot.
It hurts.
I'm bleeding.
Hey, how can you do this to Dad?
How could you?
Hey, you.
I spent so much to buy and raise you.
How dare you not answer when Dad's talking?
What am I doing?
It hurts, gosh.
Back in those days, we didn't even dream...
- of owning cellphones. - Right.
The director sat at his desk...
and yelled at us to get a scoop.
A person saved someone who was drowning,
and he only cared about a scoop.
It was bedlam. It was a battlefield.
It was a battlefield...
minus flying bullets.
It was... Let me finish this first.
I was stabbed by a sword. Do you have medication...
Dad.
What? Why?
You fool.
You should be at work right now.
What are you doing in the neighborhood?
I dropped by during my lunch break.
Why?
I left something at home.
You clumsy fool.
You left things at home since you were a kid.
Is there no cure for your forgetfulness?
You idiot.
Why were you at the pharmacy?
- Me? - Yes.
I'm weak and low on energy.
No one gets me anything.
I got myself a pick-me-up.
If you bought your drink and had it, leave.
A pharmacy isn't a teahouse.
You can't stay there and chat...
as if you ordered a hot black herbal tea.
Are you saying that I stayed and chatted...
as if I ordered a hot black herbal tea?
Gosh. How dare you talk like that?
I'm your dad and we aren't equal.
Dad, if you have nothing to do,
look after Da Bin.
What?
Didn't I watch her until now?
Do you think your mom cared for Da Bin?
Do you think Da Bin's an easy kid to watch?
She won't sit still for a second.
She practically flies about.
We need to take turns looking after her.
No one can manage her on their own.
This is killing me.
What is?
Dad. Can you stop Mi Sun?
She's looking for a babysitter.
Your wife's looking for a babysitter?
Yes.
I prefer it if you and Mom look after Da Bin,
but Mi Sun wants to spend money.
Dad.
Can you talk her out of it?
Dad.
Mi Sun's really looking for someone?
You have this. I have mine here.
It's so strange. So strange.
Will you not work?
Don't you think Ms. Kang is different?
Shall I tell you what has changed?
She cut her hair.
She looks great with short hair.
She's coming out.
I'll see the director to get approval.
Sure. Go ahead.
The director?
(Junior Managing Director Han Tae Ju)
I brought something for your approval, sir.
It's the paperwork...
that's been stacking up while I was away.
Read them thoroughly and sign them, please.
Ms. Kang.
What is happening?
When I came to see you...
As you saw me this morning,
I'll try my best...
to assist you from now on.
If you need my help with anything,
please call me anytime.
What did Mr. Chairman do to you?
I'm just back to where I used to be.
Both you...
and I are.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E45 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Ri's Return To Hansung Apparel" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
How could he do this to me...
without a single word?
Director Park.
What did you do?
What I promised you is...
that I wouldn't tell Mr. Chairman...
that Ms. Kang is your daughter.
I didn't mean I would betray Mr. Chairman.
I didn't ask you to betray Mr. Chairman.
I just asked you to be on my side...
when it comes to Ms. Kang.
What's the deal that Mr. Chairman has...
with her?
Pardon?
What did Mr. Chairman offer her...
to make her come back?
I don't know. I think...
only Mr. Chairman and Ms. Kang would know that.
Please don't be like this...
and tell Mr. Chairman the truth now.
It's not that you broke your promise with him.
Even after Vice Chairman Han passed away,
you didn't look for your daughter.
You chose to remain...
as a member of the Han family...
and have taken good care of Mr. Han.
Besides, Mr. Chairman...
seems to like Ms. Kang pretty much.
Don't be ridiculous.
"Ms. Kang whom you care for..."
"is actually my daughter."
"It's not that I found her."
"She found me first."
"I didn't even try to look for her."
"And it turns out she's dating Tae Ju."
"She had no idea, so please forgive us."
Do you want me to say stuff like this?
Then...
would Mr. Chairman understand everything...
and take us in?
The reason I can't tell Mr. Chairman the truth.
I think you know it better than I do.
Ms. Jeon.
He makes the truth fake,
and he makes the fake true.
That's what Mr. Chairman does.
He'd tear so many people up...
so they'd wish they were dead.
I've seen him do that millions of times.
He will never understand our situation.
He will make sure to find a pretext...
to destroy us.
Since it has come to this,
I can't take even one step back.
No matter how it ends,
I will have to make it all the way.
So, Director Park,
you will have to...
bear yourself well.
What are you going to do about Ms. Kang?
Because she's my daughter,
I really don't know what to do.
- Yes? - It's me.
I know.
Well...
Did Mi Ri go to the office?
Yes. She came.
To stab her mom in the back,
she came back in a stately manner.
What? Stab you in the back?
It's your daughter you're talking about.
Why did you raise her like that?
She says whatever she wants to say...
and does whatever she wants to do.
Why did you raise her to get her own way?
You saw what she did to me the other day.
Is that how you teach her?
"That's how you should treat your elders."
"Someday when your mom comes to see you,"
"you should throw a tantrum to her."
Is that what you taught her?
And you should've stopped her from coming back.
Then I would've taken care of everything.
I would've cleared the way for her success.
How could she act so reckless like that?
That's because she's your daughter.
You good-for-nothing wench.
You darn wench.
Hey. She's just like you.
You've always gotten your own way.
You do whatever you want.
And now you blame your daughter?
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Who do you think she takes after? It's you.
How dare you yell at me?
How dare you?
I've raised your child for 30 years.
And what? I raised her wrong?
You darn wench!
You should get down on your knees and beg me.
I've never heard of such nonsense in the world.
Gosh, Sun Ja.
Hey. Don't come to my place again.
If you do,
I will tear you to pieces.
So you're a CEO?
I can just knock you out with a punch, okay?
I'm hanging up.
Gosh, Sun Ja. We have customers here.
I can't even have a call in my own restaurant?
All I could do was curse her, so I did.
Min Ho, go get me some cold water.
Okay.
That wench.
Here.
I should probably go kill her.
Gosh, Sun Ja. We have customers here.
Will you calm down?
I'm so furious.
My gosh.
I'm so upset.
About your mom's accent.
Where is her hometown?
She was born in Gongju,
but she was raised in Jeonju.
- Why? - Her dialect is mixed.
There might be readers who'd complain about it.
Speaking of which, it'd be great to have...
some stories about your mom's past.
About how she grew up...
and what her dream was as a kid.
If possible,
you can talk about her first love.
Oh, that's a good idea.
But I haven't heard much about...
my mom's past.
Why not? I thought mother and daughter...
talk about it a lot.
Actually, my mom keeps lying...
whenever she talks about her past.
You saw her the other day.
Right.
Can you believe my mom made it to the finals...
of a beauty pageant when she was younger?
The finals of a beauty pageant?
Yes. She said she weighed 42kg when she was single.
She's this big now.
How could she get so fat all of a sudden?
I'm sure she was pretty.
And she is still pretty.
Gosh, no.
I've never seen her...
being pretty or slim in my whole life.
Mi Hye.
Do you know that you look like your mom?
What?
Don't talk ill of your mom.
You are just like your mom.
The atmosphere in this team is still good.
I'm so envious.
What's your problem now?
Nothing.
It's just great that you two look so friendly.
Didn't Mr. Bang call you yet?
He did.
He's sick in bed in his workroom now.
Is Jae Bum sick?
You didn't know that?
No.
Anyway, I'm going to visit him now.
Do you want to come, Mi Hye?
No, she can't.
What if she catches a cold from him?
She can't be sick now.
Gosh, you just care about her a lot.
If she gets sick, who'd write the manuscript?
We can't have our two writers fall sick.
Gosh, okay. I'm going alone.
Oh, right.
Did you not see a USB driver?
A USB driver? What for?
It's Mr. Bang's.
He said he left it in the office,
so he'd come by to pick it up two days ago.
I guess he didn't find it that day.
Two days ago? I was here that day.
Mr. Bang didn't come.
Did you see him that day?
No, I didn't.
What?
You two were here together?
What are you thinking?
We just checked the manuscript together.
We had a late-night snack together...
and talked about the manuscript, why?
I get it, all right.
What? Is this it?
I think this is it.
It has Mi Hye's picture.
Mi Hye. This is Mr. Bang's, right?
Yes, I think it is.
But how come he dropped it here?
I guess he came here the last time.
Then I'll go visit him.
I will see you two later.
Mr. Bang.
Mr. Bang, I'm here.
Are you all right?
Your assistant gave me your number.
Mr. Bang.
Mr. Bang, what's wrong?
My goodness, Mr. Bang.
What's going on...
Are you that sick?
What's wrong?
What? Mi Hye brought Woo Jin pancakes?
Yes.
Peter.
I'm not upset because I couldn't eat pancakes.
Of course, I understand.
She must've been busy...
on the night of memorial service day.
She packed pancakes and brought them to Woo Jin.
That's the romance.
I'm 100 percent sure it's a romance.
I'm sorry.
It's the love triangle between the three of you.
You don't have to include me in that relationship.
I'm not sure if it really is the love triangle.
What are you saying? You're also a part of it.
Of course, you are in this love triangle.
I'm not sure.
I don't know...
whether I can take part...
in Mi Hye's life or not.
I'm not sure about that anymore.
Of course you take part in Mi Hye's life.
You spent nine years of your youth together.
You two spent your blooming youth together.
That's not important.
She's thinking about somebody else now.
Somebody else...
who?
Were you not listening to me?
Well...
I know.
The person who ate pancake on the second floor.
Mr. Bang.
Gosh, Mr. Bang.
Mr. Bang.
Let me see your face.
Please pull yourself together.
Do you want to go home?
Pardon?
You didn't look so well since a while ago.
No, I'm fine. I can do this.
You are doing fine.
So don't worry too much about making progress.
If you can't focus, you should rest.
If you're so worried,
go home and interview your mom.
All right, then.
Wait a second.
Give this to your mom.
My mom?
This is just a token of my gratitude to her.
I'm sure you didn't make the pancakes yourself.
Besides, thanks to her...
I'm going to publish such an interesting book.
I didn't do it to receive something like this.
This is not for you, but this is for your mom.
It's my first time to prepare a gift like this.
I don't know if she'd like this.
Give it to her.
And you should also interview her.
Okay.
(Episode 46 will air shortly.)
Nevertheless, you should not have sworn at her.
(Episode 46)
I didn't want to.
But In Suk was being...
too shameless and brazen.
How could she say that to me?
She always goes against our expectations.
But Mi Ri is not that kind of person.
She has never talked back to you.
You're right.
What if they end up hating each other?
They are a parent and child after all.
That's what I'm saying.
Just like you said, a parent and child...
don't hold grudges at each other.
As a simple example, look at us.
Sometimes you act up on me...
and I pull your hair.
But that's that.
Isn't that what a typical parent-child relationship?
But I think Mi Ri and her mom's relationship...
is nothing like that.
They are like sworn enemies.
They act like as if they are the worst enemies.
What should we do about them?
You're right.
I'm so worried every time I think about Mi Ri.
I hope nothing happens to her.
Oh, my! You should go.
Your mother will scold you for being late.
I will leave soon.
And Mom...
I'm looking for a babysitter lately.
Why? Is your mother giving you a hard time?
No.
I just thought that we shouldn't depend on...
our parents and live on our own.
Speaking of which, Mom.
I bought something for you.
What? Why all of a sudden?
It's just a token of my appreciation.
Mom.
Try this.
This is really good for people...
with a red face and insomnia like yourself.
- You should try this. - Goodness.
You shouldn't have.
You must be ill off.
Anyway, forget about all this.
If your mother says she can't take care of Da Bin,
bring her to me.
I will take care of her.
Gosh, Mom. You don't have to.
I don't need you to take care of her.
Mi Hye is working at the publisher now.
You can't take care of her by yourself.
- I'm home. - Welcome.
- You are here, Mi Sun. - Hi.
Mom, this is for you.
This is from the chief editor.
What? Why would he?
I don't know. I'm going to my room.
Goodbye, Mi Sun.
All right.
What's going on with her?
Is something wrong with Jae Bum and Mi Hye?
Jae Bum? What about him?
It seems like something's going on...
between Mi Hye and Jae Bum.
They've been together until now.
What could possibly go wrong?
When I explained my situation...
- to Ms. Jangsung... - I'm home.
- Your mom is here. - Mom!
Goodness, Da Bin! Did you have fun?
- Yes. - Welcome.
I'm home, Mother and Father.
Welcome home.
Mi Sun, can you tell me what's going on?
Are you really looking for a babysitter?
I was going to tell you about that.
Do you have any other hard feelings for me?
Stop it already.
Don't push someone like that.
Jin Soo briefly told me earlier today.
Tell us what it is about.
I think...
I've been too thoughtless.
I didn't think about your circumstances at all.
I focused on my situations in my perspective.
Right, I told you it was hard for me.
The thing is, children don't take...
parents' saying too seriously.
That's how children are.
Parents' hearts drop when their children suffer.
But their children don't mind their trouble at all.
So we're going to...
hire a babysitter this time.
Oh, gosh.
I guess you mean it.
My colleague at work recommended someone nice.
We might have to see her in person this week,
but she has a good reputation,
so I might hire her unless there's any problem.
So Mother,
please ease yourself now.
Go wherever you want...
and hang out with your friends.
But still.
Please do.
And you too, Father. Don't worry about us.
Go on a trip with Mother.
I hope you two stay on good terms.
Gosh, hey.
I won't go on a trip with him.
I know he'll give me a scolding on our trip.
You're unbelievable.
All right.
If that's what you want, go ahead.
Honey.
If that's what makes you feel at ease,
go ahead and do it.
Okay, thank you.
One more thing.
Hire that babysitter,
and if it doesn't make you feel comfortable,
ask us for help again...
whenever you want.
Okay, Father.
It's a pizza delivery.
I ordered it.
Please hold.
- I ordered the pizza. - I see.
- Give me a second. - Okay.
What's the occasion though?
Da Bin kept saying...
she craved for pizza since yesterday.
So I ordered it while I was at it.
All right then. Let me pay for it.
- Well, Father. - Da Bin,
your grandma wished for the freedom so bad,
and the day has come.
So I'll pay for the pizza to celebrate it.
It's okay.
I should cook on a day like this,
but I came late, so let it be my treat.
I'll pay.
Goodness.
- Here. - Da Bin.
- Thank you. - Let's eat.
- All right. - Gosh.
Let's eat.
- Give her a piece. - Yes.
You first.
Oh, no. Give it to Da Bin first.
- Should I? - Yes.
- Father. - Thanks.
What's gotten into you?
What do you mean?
I thought you'd tell her to make me...
look after Da Bin instead of the babysitter.
The most important thing is...
what makes Mi Sun feel at ease.
What are you talking about?
Whether...
she asks her mother or you,
everyone's bound to be stressed out...
if she asks her family to look after Da Bin.
Mi Sun will be stressed out, of course.
Then who will suffer from the aftereffect?
Da Bin.
If you want your grandchild to grow well...
and thus, to carry the family line well,
don't mess with your daughter-in-law...
while she's raising the child.
What?
Are you saying...
this is all my fault?
Let's be honest.
You behaved so mean...
throughout the time you looked after Da Bin.
What?
What are you talking about?
Do you have to put it that way?
It was hard for me too, that's why.
So I don't want you two to do anything...
that's hard for each other...
or to argue over whether to look after Da Bin...
when she's listening right in front of you.
If Mi Sun finds someone professional,
she should hire that person...
for everyone's sake. That's what I mean.
Isn't it good for you too?
You took the credit from looking after Da Bin...
and got yourself freedom.
Too bad you don't see that man anymore.
Are you kidding me?
I told you not to mention the master again.
Forget it.
I understand you.
You must've been so close with each other.
I forgive you for what you did.
What? I told you it's not true.
Mi Ok.
Do it one more time if you want to see how I react.
I'm letting it go just this time.
- Okay? - Goodness.
What on earth...
Honey.
Mom.
Yes, sweetheart. What is it?
Why did you call me?
What is it?
Do you like me that much?
It tickles.
Yes, I'm tickling you on purpose.
Mom, stop it.
Will the babysitter...
look after me from now on then?
Well, yes.
Will you be okay though?
I'm sorry that I keep changing people.
It's okay.
My friends told me...
that I'd have a babysitter look after me soon too.
What?
At first, it's your mom's mother.
Next, it's your dad's mother.
Then it's a babysitter.
My friends told me.
I can't believe you guys talked about that stuff.
Why?
We talk about adults too.
But Mom,
why isn't Dad coming home?
Your dad?
I don't know.
Where are you going? We're not closed yet.
Ms. Park seems a little distracted these days.
No wonder why.
She has 3 children. 3 daughters.
Goodness.
Hey, Mi Hye.
Is Jae Bum coming to have dinner today or not?
He used to come here every day,
so why isn't he around these days?
Did something happen between you two?
Are you listening to me?
Oh, right.
Why don't you look after Da Bin with me?
Mi Sun is hiring a babysitter.
Money is one problem,
but I can't let someone else take care of...
my own grandchild when I'm right here.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Can't you hear your mom?
I'm telling you to take turns...
in looking after Da Bin with me from tomorrow.
Hey, ugly duckling.
Seriously.
Do you think I'm a babysitter or what?
Why do you always ask me to look after her with me?
You aren't even interested in your youngest daughter.
You always tell me to clean Mi Ri's room...
and to look after Mi Sun's child together.
And what,
ugly duckling?
You don't care...
a thing about your youngest daughter.
Why are you crying your eyes out all of a sudden?
There's nothing sad...
about asking you to look after Da Bin.
And stop talking about Jae Bum.
Are you even curious...
why I'm concerned or why I'm in so much pain?
Please stop talking about Jae Bum.
What's wrong with her?
I hate you.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E46 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Sun Hires A Babysitter" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Leave.
I have nothing to tell you.
What are you doing?
Why won't you listen to me?
Why won't you?
Tell me. Talk to me!
What deal...
did you make with Mr. Chairman...
in return for coming back?
Why do you want to know?
You can't make a deal with Mr. Chairman.
He's not your average old man.
He's not someone you can handle!
Why not? I can do what you do.
Why can't I do it?
I worked there longer than you did.
You might have gotten where you are...
by being a mistress,
but I got in and rose to my position myself.
I'm better than you in every way,
not the other way round.
Fine.
Your hurt. Your fury.
I'll accept it all.
And I'm truly sorry.
But...
under no circumstance...
must you make a deal with Mr. Chairman.
I'm not a child.
I know very well what he's like.
No. You don't know.
You know nothing.
He didn't call you...
because you're skilled.
It's because of me.
He's using you to keep me in check.
The pawn he brought in...
to discard when he wants...
is Jeon In Suk's daughter?
And that daughter is dating his son?
What would the crafty old man think?
He'd think...
that we plotted to take his company.
I'm holding him back right now,
but...
it might be a matter of time...
before he finds out about us.
Even if he finds out one day,
if you quit now and move abroad,
then at least we'll have an excuse then.
"I didn't know."
"I sent her away once I found out."
"But she came back."
"She trusted Mr. Chairman..."
"and tried to oust me."
You can leave then.
"Kang Mi Ri's my daughter."
"Mother and daughter can't work together,"
"so I will resign."
You can come clean and leave.
Do you think...
my position seems that grand?
Like a child who covets her mother's things?
You abandoned your child,
your family for it, so of course it looks grand!
Please... You immature fool.
Will you get a grip?
Please, grow up!
Don't hit me.
What are you to hit me?
I should grow up?
I grew up the moment you abandoned me.
I always had a grip.
My mom left me. Who wouldn't leave me?
You said...
Mom took me in because she could afford to.
No! We were dirt poor.
It got even worse after Dad died.
I thought it would be easy...
for a poor family to abandon an adopted kid.
So to avoid being abandoned again,
I studied like crazy.
So as to make it up to them,
I worked like mad to save up.
That's how I got to where I am.
How dare you tell me to quit?
I'll tell you again.
I will stay.
I won't stop. Why?
Because what you had, I want to have too.
How good must it be...
if you kept it for so long?
I really want to find out.
So leave while I'm being nice.
What?
Is your ego bruised because I got Ms. Kang...
to come back when you couldn't?
What did you do to her?
What did you do?
Do you think your father's a thug?
I didn't do anything.
I asked her to return and she refused.
So I only asked her what she wanted.
Shouldn't a chairman ask that much...
to rehire someone he needs?
Isn't that the basics of striking a deal?
Tae Ju.
Do you even know what it is she wants?
Right.
Let me ask you something first.
What do you think of her?
Just a pretty woman?
Or a capable woman?
I don't care what she is.
She's just someone I love.
You naive fool.
Ms. Kang.
She called you Director Han at my face...
without batting an eyelid.
You were once her boyfriend.
She didn't say anything about you after that.
So what was it that...
Ms. Kang wanted?
The position that Jeon In Suk holds now.
What?
Hansung Apparel's CEO position.
That's what Ms. Kang wants.
She'll back you up until you are...
transferred to Hansung's headquarters.
In return, she wants that position.
She's a brazen thing.
She knows how to strike a deal.
And Mother?
Does she know of this?
I'm not stupid.
Of course, she can't know.
You idiot.
What? Are your ex-girlfriend...
and the woman who raised you...
both getting on your nerves?
Father.
A fool like you wouldn't have...
gotten anywhere in Hansung Group...
if you were born to restaurant owner parents.
Dragons who were born in the gutter...
can never fly on their own.
They must grab onto a rope that leads to the sky...
to get anywhere near the horizon.
Ms. Kang chose me as her rope.
She didn't choose you. She picked me.
So accept her support and guidance...
and focus on your job.
And after two years,
become the group's Vice Chairman.
Stop fooling around like a child.
Okay?
Hey. Did you talk to Mi Ri?
I called but she won't pick up.
You're her older sister. Can't you do something?
You girls discuss things...
you don't tell me.
Okay.
I'll have some free time...
once I hire a babysitter.
I'll talk to Mi Ri then.
Are you sure...
you don't need me there at the interview?
I'm older and a better judge of character.
You don't know much about people.
Mom, I'm a pretty good judge of character myself.
I'm old enough and I've worked for years.
And babysitters don't like...
having grandparents around.
They feel like they're being watched.
What a joke.
You must worry about that...
when leaving a kid with her?
Because it's about kids.
I wouldn't hire her for any other reason.
Mom, that must be her.
I'll call you later. Bye.
I'm coming!
I'll let you in.
Come in.
Come on in.
Is this Jung Da Bin's home?
Yes, it is. I was waiting for you.
I'll come in then.
Sit over there.
- Okay, thanks. - Come in.
Would you like some tea?
I'll appreciate it.
Please wait for a moment.
I said I could come over to interview her.
She has a poor judge of character.
Let me see.
Gosh.
My goodness.
Hey.
Who gave you this?
Mr. Kim.
Why?
Because you got him a lot of food.
I didn't give him a lot of food.
I brought him some more.
Why?
You know why.
I just feel bad that he often skips meals.
So I brought him some food.
So...
is that why you're bringing this again?
No. This is for Jae Bum.
- Jae Bum? - Yes.
- Jae Bum is sick. - What?
Is he sick?
I'll go see Jae Bum and go to work.
Hey, Mi Hye.
- See you. - Hey.
What's wrong with Jae Bum?
Is Jae Bum okay?
Hey, Jae Bum. Wake up.
Wake up.
What are you doing here?
What do you think?
I should come here when you're sick.
Have some porridge.
Where's a spoon? Is it in the kitchen?
Here. Open your mouth.
What are you doing?
Just open your mouth and eat it.
Here.
Here. Open it again.
Mi Hye.
Can't you just eat it without saying anything?
Why are you being like this?
Then why are you being like this?
You don't get sick.
Why are you sick all of a sudden?
I just don't feel good.
Do you think I don't know you?
You get sick only when I break up with you.
You only get sick because of me.
I'm just sick.
It's not about you this time.
Jae Bum.
I need some rest. Go.
Jae Bum.
Why are you crying?
What's wrong?
Don't cry.
Stop crying.
When you're sick,
I'm worried and upset.
When you're not around,
I wonder how you're doing.
I'm not bored when we're together.
I'm more likely to be happy when you're around.
For the past nine years,
I could get through all that because of you.
And I could get up my nerve because of you.
You were the best person...
and the best friend...
in my whole life.
And?
But that's it.
Jae Bum.
I don't have feelings for you.
I just don't feel that way about you.
I'm sorry, Jae Bum.
I'm so sorry.
- What? - You should be careful.
What has gotten into you?
What did I do?
You're being too nice to Mi Hye.
You've never done that to anyone before.
That's not true.
I'm sure you are.
Is it that you're interested in her?
Hey. She's just a kid. How could you say that?
She's seven years younger than me.
She's a little kid. How could you even imagine it?
It's not that I'm imagining something weird.
Mi Hye has feelings for you.
- What? - I'm sure...
she likes you as a man.
It's uncomfortable if you come to see me like this.
I'm here to ask you one thing.
Please leave.
I'll see you at the company.
I heard you had a deal with my father.
And I heard about...
what you want.
Then what do you want from me?
What I want from you?
Yes.
There's one thing I want.
Please stay as the good boss...
like you are now.
Until you are transferred to the headquarters,
I will keep trying my best to assist you.
Please leave now.
Then what did I mean to you?
Tell me.
What did I mean to you?
I mean,
what do you want me...
to be from now on?
I think I just gave you my answer.
Director Han.
Okay. I get it.
I won't come to see you like this again.
Ms. Kang.
(Mother of Mine)
I heard you do housework too.
You can take a rest now.
Don't cry.
I'm fine.
I told you not to worry.
- What about Jin Soo? - He's not home yet.
- It doesn't matter now. - What do you mean?
- I'll go. - You don't have to.
- Are you uncomfortable? - Don't waste your life...
- because of me. - Mi Hye.
Why are you drawing a line all of a sudden?
Do you like me?
I wasn't thinking straight.
You interest me, Ms. Jeon.
Go ahead and please yourself.
You've become very daring.
Director Han seems to get over you.
You must hate me.
Don't be sarcastic.
The only thing you care about is...
your promotion.
Why do you care?
