So Kang Woo,
- let's break up. - Seo Yeon!
Seo Yeon.
What's wrong?
What is it?
I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
Don't say that, Seo Yeon.
Okay?
You have a guest with you.
Who are you?
Pardon?
Are you Kang Woo's girlfriend?
Yes, she's my girlfriend.
Why? You are.
You're my woman.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kang Woo's mom.
Hello, I'm Joo Seo Yeon.
Goodness, you're very pretty.
I see.
I was wondering why she was like this.
You're the reason...
why Seo Yeon got scared.
No, it's not that.
No? You didn't meet her?
I didn't.
What's with you?
Why would I meet her?
Isn't this our first time seeing each other?
Yes, it's my first time seeing you.
Liar.
- I'm serious! - You met at the department store...
when you were with Min Hyuk.
Yes, what I mean is...
that it's my first time seeing her as your mother.
This is great.
Seo Yeon was just about to break up with me.
She said I'm too much for her because I'm the grandson...
- of Shinhwa Food. - What?
Mom, is it okay...
for me to date Seo Yeon?
You aren't that square, are you?
Of course, it's okay.
Don't worry.
Everything is all right as long as you're healthy.
Nothing else matters.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
Why did you put me in this awkward situation?
Are you getting mad at me?
I'm the one who's flustered.
- Kang Woo. - This is enough for today.
I don't want to hear it anymore.
Go home.
I didn't know you'd talk about me behind my back.
I wasn't doing that. You don't need to worry.
Like you said, I'm going to break up with him.
Are you slow-witted or what?
If you break up with him at this moment, he'll blame me.
- Didn't you see how he reacted? - I can make him understand.
I said no. You can't break up with him.
- What? - Not this moment.
Do you want to make him hate me?
But I've already made up my mind to break up with him.
You're so dense.
Just date him for a bit longer and then end things...
Hold on.
What's wrong with my son?
I mean...
Why do you want to break up with him?
It's obvious that he's head over heels for you.
So why are you acting this way?
Well...
Like you've said,
I'm no match for Shinhwa Food.
That's for our family to decide.
So just keep seeing him for now.
- But... - Just do that, will you?
Kang Woo is a nice boy.
He may seem coldhearted, but he's actually very kind.
Yes, I know that.
All right, then. It's settled.
Then I'll understand that you'll keep dating him.
I'll pay for this.
That's strange.
- Ms. Kim. - My goodness!
- What are you doing? - Well...
Have you seen Jang Mi's bag that's about this big?
I'm sure I saw it somewhere.
Did you ever find anything strange about her?
You did, didn't you?
Not really but...
I did see the money in that bag.
Money? How much?
It was full of 50-dollar bills.
Hey!
Where have you been all day?
What? Well, I've just been...
Have you been seeing Kang Woo?
- Yes. - Were you the type...
who'd give her friend the cold shoulder for a guy?
It's not like that.
Whatever. I'm going to sulk. I'll keep my eyes on you.
Do you want me to take you home?
No, thanks.
The old her would've taken me home even if I said no.
I hate you, Kang Woo!
It's that easy to let me go?
How? How's that possible?
How could you do that?
By the way,
how did Mom find out?
So you really have no idea.
What are you talking about?
You don't know even if someone next to you is in pain...
or is about to die.
Don't tell me...
- Hey, you're home. - What are you doing?
I wonder why I've been living this way.
I didn't pay a single dime for any of these.
Why have I been living this way?
You should've stopped me and told me to snap out of it.
What's gotten into you?
I'm going to throw them all away.
I'm going to throw away everything that I didn't buy.
This is a limited edition. Should I just sell this?
I enjoyed wearing this as well.
This one would be a waste to throw out.
No tutoring lesson today again?
Ho Dol texted me.
This dummy got outed which is really unfortunate for him.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Last time, you were in front of the school, and now, you're here?
Was it you?
Did you tell my family about Seo Yeon?
She asked first. You know I can't lie.
What a great excuse.
It was bound to happen anyway.
She would've found out sooner or later.
Hey.
You're starting to disgust me.
I'm going to be even more disgusting.
There's no point in being kind.
Being a kind guy and son...
didn't benefit me one bit.
You know very well about that.
Does Uncle call you often?
Are you suddenly acting like an older brother?
Choose one role, will you? You're confusing me.
If you're done, please leave. I'm a bit busy.
Don't anticipate.
I will never...
fall down.
Go work now.
Why does Kang Woo keep showing up to school?
I know.
It's so nerve-racking.
I'm starving.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
What are you doing?
I'll protect you, Seo Yeon.
Do you feel suffocated...
in your office too?
Director Lee, someone from Baekga Corporation has come to see you.
Baekga Corporation?
Mr. Baek Gook Hwa.
Who is she?
Why is he at my office?
Show the guest in.
I'm Baek Jang Mi.
Lee Kang Woo is your brother, right?
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E23 'Love with Flaws' "Seo Yeon's Guilty Feeling" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Your brother doesn't suit Seo Yeon.
She's too good for him.
So tell your brother to give up on Seo Yeon.
- Excuse me. - If you let him keep dating her,
I will talk to my dad and ask him to stop his business with Shinhwa Food.
Baekga Corporation is a good company.
And it is true that we do have a business together.
Just because you stop the business,
it won't affect our company that much.
It's quite the contrary. If we stop the business,
it will be hard on Baekga Corporation.
Can you handle that?
Sorry?
We've met before. Do you not remember?
You're useless!
How could you beat your own child?
She's quite small-boned.
I'm pretty sure you could've subdued her.
You should've hit her back.
No matter how good of a person you are,
you cannot let your brother date Seo Yeon.
Darn it.
They cannot date!
Excuse me, Ms. Baek!
Gosh.
Kang Woo must be dating someone pretty impressive.
Are you hurt?
It's all right.
Don't move.
I don't have an ulterior motive for patients.
- Does it hurt? - Yes.
I fell in front of the students. How embarrassing.
Thank you.
Were you distracted?
Is it because of Kang Woo?
That's how you got hurt, right?
- No, I was just... - Kang Woo was here.
I got caught. I told his mother about you.
I told her...
about Kang Woo and you.
- What? - I meant it when I said...
that I wouldn't come between you two.
But when I had the chance, I ended up...
coming between you guys.
You're disappointed, right?
Yes, a bit.
The Mr. Lee I know wouldn't do such a thing.
This is odd.
You just started...
to see the real me.
I told you...
that I wasn't nice.
But...
why are you reconsidering...
dating Kang Woo?
Why does his mother's visit matter to you?
Is that how much Kang Woo...
means to you?
It's...
none of your business.
Do I have a chance?
Look how skinny you got.
You're skinny, to begin with.
- Why are you here? - Why are you trying...
so hard to go to your classes?
Taking a few days off won't kill you.
People won't pay attention to other people's business for long.
- So just hang in there until... - If I miss my classes for a day,
my parents' hard work for a week will go to waste.
They farmed day and night to pay for my tuition.
I won't miss my classes for something like this.
But your words don't match your actions.
You didn't come for your tutoring sessions.
Well, that's...
Besides, you made it sound like it wasn't a big deal.
What's this?
I didn't apply sunscreen. So what?
Is that him?
Look at him.
Why did he come to class?
- Who is he? - Who's that?
- I've never seen him before. - Where's he going?
- No way. - I can't believe it.
- What is it? - Goodness.
- They must be gay. - Is that his boyfriend?
Unbelievable.
Stop it.
You'll suffer too.
Me?
Don't be a stranger.
They are looking at us...
because I'm handsome.
Don't overdo it.
Did I?
Did you see that guy put his arm around Ho Dol?
Did you see how that guy looked at Ho Dol? Goodness.
- He even fixed Ho Don's hair. - The hair thing.
- Gosh. - This world is going crazy.
How could he do that?
Let go of me.
Should I do it here?
- Don't bully him. - Why not?
- What does he mean to you? - Nothing.
But if you keep bullying him,
I will feel very angry.
Why?
Why him, but not me?
What does he have that I don't have?
It's your bad temper.
You should meet someone...
who likes your nasty temper and finds it special.
And I'm not that person.
Where did he go?
He didn't answer any of my calls today.
I got you!
You.
Who in the world are you?
- Mi Kyung. - I won't fall for your tears.
What is Seo Yeon going to do now?
What is she going to do?
Mi Kyung!
Who are you?
- What? - Why are you calling out my name?
What's wrong?
Oh, I'm sorry. I was on a date with Kang Woo. I'm sorry.
Is that so? You were on a date with him?
What? Yes.
You brat!
Are we even friends?
Why do I have to hear about you from Jang Mi?
Mi Kyung.
I wanted to tell you hundreds and thousands of times.
Then why didn't you?
Because I knew you would be more heartbroken than I am.
So you know.
But...
it's not because of Kang Woo.
So don't get any weird ideas.
You like him.
I don't feel confident.
Whenever I see him, I keep wondering,
"What if I didn't ask my parents to go out that night?"
"What if I didn't turn him down when he asked me out?"
I don't think I can stop thinking about that.
I'm afraid I'll end up thinking,
"What if Kang Woo didn't ask me out..."
"at that time?"
I'm afraid I'll end up blaming him...
for my guilty feelings.
And I can't keep seeing him with this on my mind.
I can't do that to him.
Can't you just tell him the truth?
- No. - Why not?
Kang Woo will never understand if you break up without telling him.
It's not like you began to date him without knowing his background.
I'd rather become a crazy woman to put an end to this.
Exactly. Why should you do that?
Telling him the truth might be the best way.
If Kang Woo finds out,
he'll feel bad although he didn't do anything wrong.
He'll feel guilty.
Kang Woo is a nice kid, so he'll definitely do that.
I'd rather have him hate me and curse me...
than to leave him feeling guilty.
He can just say, "Seo Yeon was a jerk. I shouldn't have dated her."
Hey.
Kang Woo can't know anything. Never.
I can't believe you're worried about him at this point.
Worry about yourself, you fool.
So she didn't like you because you were ugly,
then it was because you were handsome, but she began to like you,
and now she hates you because you're a grandson of a rich woman?
Come to think about it, I'm the one who's at fault.
It's my fault for looking like this...
and having a rich grandmother.
Why do you like her so much?
Because she's Seo Yeon.
That's all?
What more do you need?
It's not like you can stop living as a rich woman's grandson.
Is that impossible?
I don't care about my family business.
What if I don't need anything else but her?
Do you think that's crazy?
Stop it, you idiot. Enough is enough.
I can't believe you're complaining about your privileges.
You jerk!
It sounds like she's very agitated,
so it's probably better to give her some room to think.
You should stop seeing her for a while.
But do you think that's the only reason?
From what you told me about that lady,
she doesn't seem like a type who would be scared by your mother.
Are you saying there's another reason?
Well, I mean that it's a possibility.
(Episode 24 will air shortly.)
(Episode 24)
There's another reason, isn't there?
She's not like that only because of my aunt.
There has to be another reason.
Are you quick-witted because you're smart?
Or do you just like her a lot?
I'm guessing both.
But you're also a grandson of Shinhwa Food.
You and Kang Woo are in similar situations.
Would your parents easily accept Seo Yeon as she is?
I'm practically disowned.
- What? - I gave up on my parents.
That didn't make any sense.
I guess the med school guy isn't good at Korean.
Hey! You!
This way.
The track team room is down this way, okay?
What? Okay.
Goodness, she might collapse soon.
(The moment you want to give up is when you must start again.)
(We have the duty to be eaten by Seo Yeon!)
We have the duty to be eaten by Seo Yeon!
What a weird guy.
I think she got a hold on me.
It's Joo Seo Yeon.
When I came back to my senses,
I found myself begging her...
to keep dating Kang Woo.
She definitely has a hold on you.
- Does she look all right? - What?
I mean, you said Kang Woo likes her so much.
I was wondering what's so special about her.
- Mother! - Goodness.
What's special about her?
No, I... Hey, you haven't even called.
I'm the grandson here, aren't I?
The grandson of Shinhwa Food.
You... You must be hungry.
I'll get you some food. Give me a second.
I'll...
What? Goodness.
You must've been starving.
Shinhwa Food's side dishes...
are really good.
Goodness.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Are you on my side?
- No. - Gosh.
Hey.
I have no choice but to be on Mom's side because I love her.
But hang in there.
How did you give up?
Drawing.
I didn't.
I just buried it in my heart.
It was for Mom and Grandma.
Do I need to do the same?
Can you?
No.
I can't.
That's why you need to hang in there.
By the way,
look tidier, will you?
How could a designer be dressed like that?
"Designer"? He found out?
It's all ruined.
How did he find out?
Did Hyun Soo tell him? That can't be.
Yes. I sent the money.
Use that for now.
"Money"? Where did she get the money?
What does she do?
Joo Hee? Look at you.
It can't be.
That's impossible.
Of course, it's possible! She worked at a wine bar before!
Darn it.
Seo Yeon!
My gosh. Don't you know how to knock?
- I'm sorry. Are you busy? - Yes.
- A lot? - Why?
It seems like he's in a rush. I'll come by later.
Sit down. Close that.
Jang Mi, do you have anything to tell me?
Do you really have neither a home nor a family?
I'm sorry to say this,
but I'd like you to leave.
I do.
I do have a family.
But...
I'm not a part of it.
- What? - I'm just an asset.
I'm an asset that needs to be sold at a high price.
What do you mean?
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
I've inconvenienced you too much.
That's fine.
You don't need to hurry. You can take your time and move out.
However,
promise me you'll never meddle in our family's business.
By the way, Lee Kang Woo is...
Hey, didn't we just make a promise?
He's been waiting outside for some time now.
What?
Why didn't you tell me this sooner?
Oh, no.
(Seo Yeon, let's hang out!)
Hey.
What's your deal? Why haven't you been picking up?
Why aren't you avoiding me now? Why are you here?
I missed you.
You still have the same expression.
I shouldn't have come.
Kang Woo.
Kang Woo!
Are you serious?
I avoided you because I didn't want to hear what you had to say...
since it was obvious.
Avoiding you was the only way for me not to hear that.
That was...
the only thing I could do.
Kang Woo.
So move aside.
Fine, then. I'll leave this here.
Fine.
I'll move.
Why does he look so haggard?
(Ms. Lee Kang Hee)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Did something happen to him?
I must be insane to come all the way here.
(Seo Yeon, let's hang out!)
That's interesting.
How did you know where I live?
I told you. I have your personal information.
You don't seem to be that busy.
Be quiet!
What are you doing back there?
Mr. Joo, stop stressing the cat out and come here.
You look the same as when you drove the RC car before.
I was dressed well that day.
Why did you screen my calls?
- I wasn't. - You weren't picking up on purpose.
What's wrong?
I've wasted away.
I'm not elegant and beautiful like you.
I've been leeching off of women.
I know that.
I knew you approached me with such intentions.
Yes, that's who I am.
That's why it irritates me to be next to you.
Did I ask for too much when making our deal?
- If I did... - That's not what I'm talking about.
Fine. Let's end our deal.
I don't want to use you to get money anymore.
Goodbye.
The receiver cannot be reached.
Kang Woo, that punk, neither showed up for the meeting...
nor is answering my calls.
Who's the boss? Me or him?
What is this smell?
What is this?
Hey.
Did you eat that while using the toilet?
Why are you here?
Did you forget we have a meeting today?
Right. I'm sorry.
I've been busy.
Busy?
I see. Doing what?
Eating and pooping?
I prepared all the materials.
I'll bring them to you.
Hey. Hey!
Are you okay? Hey.
Get up. Let me see.
Hey, you're bleeding!
What's wrong with him this time?
You startled me!
I guess Kang Woo meets with you.
What?
Is he home right now?
Yes. Do you want to go in?
No. Next time.
Not today.
- What are you doing here? - What?
I'm just going to stay here for a bit.
Don't mind me. Go on.
Okay.
Yes.
Seo Yeon is in front of your house.
What? Don't open the door for her.
I'll kill you if you do!
- Okay. - I'll kill you!
What is wrong with this guy?
What on earth is going on here?
I avoided you...
because I didn't want to hear what you had to say...
since it was obvious.
Avoiding you was the only way for me not to hear that.
That was...
the only thing I could do.
I begged her so desperately.
But she came here again?
So she won't let this go, will she?
I suddenly realized it.
Your place and my place.
So Kang Woo,
let's break up.
Go home.
I won't come out even if you wait for me.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E24 'Love with Flaws' "Seo Yeon Says She Doesn't Love Kang Woo" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Just today.
Let me just delay this today.
Just for today,
I'll be a shameless daughter.
I'm sorry.
You will...
only give me a day,
Seo Yeon?
But do you think that's the only reason?
Are you saying there's another reason?
Well, I mean that it's a possibility.
Another reason?
So she's a teacher here.
What is she like?
She's really nice...
to the point that I want to date her.
Really?
What good will that do when she has a messy family history?
She lost her parents early in her life and has half brothers.
Things aren't looking great even if half of that was true.
What do you mean?
You didn't know.
Right.
There's no need for you to know teachers' family history.
Does Kang Woo know that too?
Probably.
Well, that won't make a difference for him.
Can you comfort Kang Woo for me?
I'm so worried that he might cause trouble.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Bye, Uncle.
No need to walk me out. Have a good day.
She lost her parents early in her life and has half brothers.
Things aren't looking great even if half of that was true.
How's your ankle?
It's all right.
Chief Director Lee.
I hope you would stop visiting me here.
- Why? - Other teachers will find it odd...
when they see you in my office.
- So... - I took this position to do that,
so others will know.
I want other teachers to figure out...
that I like you.
It will rain later.
I assumed you didn't have an umbrella.
When I was in school,
and when it suddenly started to rain,
my friends' parents came to school with an umbrella.
I was really jealous of that...
because my parents never did that for me.
Was there a time when you were jealous of your friends...
for their parents who came to school with an umbrella?
I'll come back.
Why is Mom calling me at this hour?
Who...
Why are you here?
Oh, right. Ms. Kim, you have...
a student named Lee Kang Wook. He's Kang Wook's brother.
He said he needed to talk to you about his younger brother,
Lee Kang Wook.
Lee Kang Wook?
I'm sure you know my brother, Kang Wook.
The tall guy with flour-colored skin, you know.
Let me use the restroom.
Follow me.
Actually, I had to use the restroom too.
Hold on.
Was there a student named Lee Kang Wook in her class?
I'm not sure. Given how his name doesn't ring a bell,
he must get low grades.
I see! Yes, you're right. That's it.
That's why I don't remember. I kept wondering.
Man, the weather looks great.
Are you insane? How dare you come here?
Go.
- What's this? - Kang Woo is bleeding...
to death.
Did he get into an accident?
He's bleeding from his heart.
Isn't it because of Seo Yeon?
None of your business.
Of course, it's my business. He's obstructing my work!
- What is it? - None of your business.
I'm sure they'll figure it out. You need to leave.
Mom, I'm busy. I'll call you back...
What's wrong? Stop crying and tell me.
Okay. All right. Let's hang up for now.
What's going on?
Can you give me a ride to the bus terminal?
Sure. Let's go.
Punch in your address.
It's okay. Just to the bus terminal.
Seo Yeon probably knows. She's still here, isn't she?
Things are complicated enough for her. I don't want to add to it.
Punch it in.
Don't ask me anything.
The navigation has begun.
Your hands are cold.
Mom, I'm on my way.
Calm down. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Mom, please! You aren't going to die.
Health technology has developed beyond your imagination.
You can receive an in-depth examination and get operated.
Stop worrying and hang up.
I'm going to die after Mom if she dies.
Hey, how can you say something so scary?
Stop crying.
Come on, stop crying.
Stop crying.
(Joo Seo Yeon)
Your call cannot be connected. Please leave your message...
Come home. I'll listen to what you have to say.
I can do it.
Kang Woo.
What's with your lips?
I don't understand.
I don't think I can understand no matter what you say.
Is that really the reason?
Because of my affiliation with Shinhwa Food?
If that's the reason, I'll take care of it.
Why do you get scared and give up on me?
How can you give up that easily...
There is another reason.
What?
What is it?
Kang Woo.
What is it?
I don't love you.
That's the reason.
You called me "my dear Kang Woo".
If you were going to be like this, why did you address me like that?
Move.
You're horrible. You're really horrible,
but I can't even hate you.
I can never hate you.
I said, move.
Okay. I understand.
Just...
toy me around and abandon me.
Is that...
impossible too?
Get a hold of yourself, Kang Woo.
You sound insane.
You're probably caught in the rain,
Seo Yeon.
I told you it'll be raining.
I came for you.
I like...
Kang Woo.
I know.
I'll keep liking him by myself.
I've been...
liking you all alone too.
You're a really weird guy.
(Love With Flaws)
Seo Yeon, you can't be crying.
Please don't cut me off with him. I ask of you.
- Why are you doing this? - Do you really have no idea?
Why do you think I'm doing this?
You work at a bar now?
Do you think you mean something because we live together?
- They live together? - Will you end it with Seo Yeon?
Should I just tell him and get killed by her?
Was it really because of me?
Why would that happen to Kang Woo?
There was a car accident. An accident.
I'm sorry.
I dared to want to be with Seo Yeon.
