Dad.
I've made up my mind.
About what?
I'd like to be your successor and run Noyu.
What?
Why the sudden change of heart?
I want power.
"Power"?
Yes, the power to protect those that matter to me.
I will no longer let others walk all over me.
You'll be responsible for the livelihoods...
of tens of thousands of employees.
If your motivation is anger or obstinacy, you shouldn't do it.
There's a more important reason.
You think I'm the perfect candidate for the leader of Noyu.
I want to prove to you that your decision was right.
- Jae Hyuk. - I'll do my best.
To be someone who's qualified to continue...
your and Grandfather's legacy and run this company.
Please root for me, Dad.
Don't be too disheartened.
I'm okay. Don't worry about me.
I will not give up here.
Jae Hyuk.
I'll work very hard from now on.
To protect the people I love, not to win.
Okay, you can do it.
Min Hyuk, that position is yours now.
You're the VP. And soon, you'll be the president of Noyu.
Congratulations, Min Hyuk.
It hasn't been confirmed yet.
Isn't it too soon to congratulate me?
I will make you the VP of this company no matter what.
Trust me.
Where's Director Park?
He can't come. He's too busy at the warehouse.
We can't have him continue to waste his time there.
Min Hyuk, you really need his help.
Han Min Hyuk.
He managed to get Jae Hyuk ousted.
Hello, Mr. Han.
Okay.
About the stalker... I've verified that he is in Singapore.
- Then what about the kid's father? - He is dead.
If you'd like,
I can arrange a meeting with his mother.
Then who sent this photo?
I found the guy who delivered it.
Turns out, his mother sent it.
What? Why would she do such a thing?
I think she's been holding a grudge against Ms. Hwang...
for leaving her son and marrying you.
But the thing is,
Yeon Su received another ultrasound photo like this a while back.
It had "Min Ah's mom" written on the back of it.
That means the kid's name is Min Ah, not Choi Ah Young.
Anyway, okay.
All right. I should get back to my office.
What did Mr. Choi say?
He said the father is dead, right?
Do you really not know who Min Ah is?
I told you that she's my friend's daughter.
Your friend's daughter?
Min Ah is your daughter's name.
Mr. Choi told me everything.
He said the dead guy's mother sent the photo.
Is Min Ah your daughter's name?
Your child's name is Min Ah, not Choi Ah Young?
And you've been fooling me all along?
Why is that important?
In any case, the father is dead.
Min Hyuk, you shouldn't let these things distract you now.
You need to make the VP position yours no matter what.
Here, eat up.
I cooked the chicken for hours with medicinal herbs.
I told you to come over so that you can eat this.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Jae Hyuk.
Why are you sorry?
Did you think I was fond of you because you were the VP of Noyu?
I totally believe in you because you're my son-in-law.
Who cares about the VP position?
Dig in. Eat up.
Eat as much as you want...
and cheer up. You can get through this.
Thank you, Mother. I'll eat all of this and cheer up.
Yes, eat. Drink all the broth too.
You too. Have this piece.
Are we the only ones eating this?
Don't worry. I put some aside for Ho Jin and Cake.
Good.
- Mother, you should have some too. - Okay, I will.
Here.
That's just how life goes.
You never know what will happen in life.
Bad things can happen unexpectedly. The same goes for good things.
Just be grateful and keep on working hard.
Then a good day will come.
- Okay, Mother. - Mom, you're cool.
Are you realizing that just now?
- Eat. - Okay.
Try the broth too.
Hello, sir.
I sent that document over earlier.
All right. Get some rest. Bye.
Uncle Min Hyuk.
Grandma said you should drink this.
Okay. Leave it there and get out.
Okay.
Hey, did you see my ring?
No, I didn't.
Gosh, where did I put it?
You really didn't see it? You came into my room earlier.
What's wrong?
Yeon Su, did you see my ring?
Your ring? Where did you put it?
On the table in our bedroom.
Gosh. I'm pretty sure I put it there before I went to the bathroom,
but it's not there.
You didn't take it?
No, I didn't.
Gosh, where did it go?
Mom, have you seen my ring?
- Your ring? - Yes.
I took it off before going to the bathroom, and it's gone.
Why would it disappear?
Hey.
You really don't know anything?
Did you lose it while playing with it?
No, Uncle Min Hyuk.
I told you not to call me like that.
- Ha Eun. - Mom.
Why are you yelling at Ha Eun? She said she didn't see it.
I'm asking her because no one saw it.
Hey, you even found the cufflink in the trash can...
and played with it.
If you saw it, just be honest.
Yeon Su, why are you suspecting that she took it?
Mom, I really didn't see it.
Yes, okay.
She's saying she never saw it. What is your problem?
Who knows? Maybe she saw it but isn't telling us the truth.
- Mother. - Do you have proof?
Why are you suspecting that she took it?
Min Hyuk, what is this about?
You misplaced it. Why are you interrogating Ha Eun?
Who else would take it?
Han Min Hyuk.
Gosh, she's so loud. Take her upstairs.
Let's go, Ha Eun.
The digestive pills should be somewhere around here.
Why is this here?
Did you put it here?
Why would I do that?
Why did you do this? To pin it on the kid?
What? Gosh, no.
Don't lie to my face.
How could you do this?
Why do you hate So Won's daughter so much?
How could I be fond of So Won's daughter?
You're unbelievable.
I yelled at the kid for no reason.
Enough, okay?
Oh, boy.
- Does your wrist hurt a lot? - Yes, it does.
I think I sprained it when I slipped in the bathroom.
We should've gotten new slippers a long ago.
What should we do? I can't do any housework with this wrist.
Don't worry.
Ms. Han said she'll cook for the time being,
and I'll take care of laundry and cleaning.
You guys will be exhausted.
Oh, right. I should go get the clean laundry.
I'll take care of it. Don't do anything, Mom.
Hey.
Hey, I found my ring.
Really?
Yes.
I'm so glad you found it, Uncle...
What's wrong?
You told me not to call you like that.
No, it's okay. Feel free to call me like that.
- Seriously? - Yes.
Take this and buy yourself a treat.
It's okay.
Just take it. It's okay.
Thank you, Uncle Min Hyuk.
- Mom! - Yes.
Uncle Min Hyuk found his ring.
Really?
Yes. And he said I can call him Uncle Min Hyuk.
Look, he gave me pocket money.
He told me to buy myself a treat.
He did?
Ha Eun, are you feeling better? You must've been so upset earlier.
I'm fine now. Uncle Min Hyuk apologized to me.
He apologized?
Well, he didn't actually say it. But I know he felt bad.
Ha Eun, you have such a beautiful heart.
Here, Mom.
- You're giving me this? - Yes.
Thanks.
But he gave this to you, so you should keep it.
Really?
But Grandma said nothing in life is free.
Then just be good to Uncle Min Hyuk.
Okay. I will, Dad.
- Ha Eun, I'll save this for you. - No!
Here, take this and buy whatever you want to eat.
Okay.
- It's for you, Mom. - You got this for me?
Yes. I saw that your underwear is all worn out.
You bought me underwear?
Gosh, my sweet son. Thanks.
I hope you like it. I asked the sales clerk to pick something nice.
You got this for me, so I'm sure I'll love it.
You know the underwear store at the intersection, right?
I got it there. You can return it for an exchange.
All right, son.
- Get some rest. - Okay.
I raised my children so well.
My gosh, what... What is this?
Goodness, how indecent. Gosh.
Ouch, my shoulder. It hurts so much.
My shoulder hurts so much.
Did I pull a muscle in my sleep?
Uncle Min Hyuk, I'll give you a massage.
No, it's okay.
My grandma said nothing in life is free.
You gave me the pocket money, you know.
- Here, turn around. - Okay.
Gosh, that feels nice.
You're good.
Hey, it's okay. You can stop now.
You sure understand the give-and-take rule.
- Sorry? - You'll be successful.
Give... What?
Give and take. Giving and receiving.
- Repeat after me. Give and take. - Give and take.
Give and take.
- I'll give you another massage. - Sure.
It feels so nice.
Come in.
- I'll do it for you. - It's okay.
Jae Hyuk, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
You got demoted when you were about to be promoted to president.
Han Min Hyuk, how dare he?
I'll pull myself together and start afresh.
The VP got demoted to senior manager overnight.
How could this happen?
He had nothing to do with the embezzlement. This is too harsh.
It really is.
By the way, I'm curious to see who will be promoted to VP.
Director Han, of course. Isn't it obvious?
Is this like the Strife of the Princes, then?
It'll be a ruthless war.
What's with all this chatter?
If you have that much time, get your work done.
Gosh, I can't wear this.
My gosh.
What brings you by? You're not welcome here.
I'm here to check your sales numbers.
Goodness.
Hello?
Who?
That scoundrel died?
Why would I go there?
You have something to tell me?
Okay.
Goodness.
Who was that?
None of your business. It's just some jerk.
That scoundrel.
I want to shove him into the gochujang jar for months...
to teach him a lesson.
Hi, Mom.
Mr. Bang passed away?
What? What do you mean?
So Won, do you remember Mr. Bang?
Yes, of course.
Our old house was auctioned off because of him.
He passed away recently.
He passed away?
Yes, I met his son today.
He called Mom.
Before Mr. Bang passed away, he told his son...
to call Mom and apologize to her.
After all these years?
We went through so much because of him.
We were always paying the interest on time,
but he suddenly started harassing us to pay him back,
so we lost the house.
That's what happened?
Your old house got auctioned off because of that man?
That's right. But there's more.
What do you mean?
This is his ledger.
Just before our house was put up for auction,
Noyu Gallery sent him 50,000 dollars.
You're right.
It means Noyu Gallery deliberately made the house go up for auction.
Does that mean my mother...
Yes, that's my guess based on this ledger.
Were you the one that made So Won's family go bankrupt?
What are you talking about?
I confirmed that Noyu Gallery sent the money.
You made their house go up for auction and seized it.
How could you do such a thing?
What's he talking about?
I have no idea.
What on earth did he hear?
Tell me the truth.
I thought you bought that house. Did you make her family go bankrupt?
How could you do that?
What do you mean I made her family go bankrupt? I didn't.
What's with you? Why barge in and bark at us?
There's a ledger that shows the man...
received money from Noyu Gallery.
Are you still going to deny it?
Did you have something to do with Eun Hye's accident as well?
Did you do that because you knew I was looking for her family?
Because you had to hide something from me?
Stop talking complete nonsense.
What would I hide from you?
Then answer my question.
Give me an explanation that I can understand.
Just because it says Noyu Gallery, it doesn't mean I did it.
I did buy that house, but I didn't make her family go bankrupt.
You must be very happy these days now that the VP got demoted.
Don't be too excited.
He'll get his position back.
- You can't control that. - Shut it.
You must've known...
that Ms. Jang made my family go bankrupt.
- What? - Why are you playing dumb again?
I really didn't know.
I don't care whether you knew or not.
Either way, I'll make both of you pay for what you did.
Mother did that?
Why make me come all the way here?
What?
Are you also going to accuse me of making your family go bankrupt?
I don't know where that misunderstanding came from,
but it wasn't me. I came to tell you that.
You witch. Evil witch!
What do you think you're doing?
- Let go. I said, let go! - Why did you do that?
Why do you resent me so much? I can't believe you did that!
Gosh, let go. Let go!
Hey, why must you always grab me by the hair?
You'd better tell me the truth. You know Mr. Bang, don't you?
Mr. Bang? Who's that?
Do you not remember what you did?
Fine.
Then I shall help you remember what you did.
Did something happen?
Song Dan Shil, that ignorant woman.
Gosh, what an ill-fated relationship.
Remember Mr. Bang?
I asked him to make Choi Eun Hye's house...
go up for auction, you know?
She found out?
Then that phone call earlier...
She said I made her family go bankrupt.
She nearly killed me.
That's understandable. I understand why she's so upset.
What?
Are you siding with her now?
No, I'm not.
Get your act together.
I'm not the only one who's at war with that family.
Think about what you did.
Apparently, Mr. Bang left a ledger behind.
He wrote all details about the money he got from the gallery.
That crazy old man.
Does Han Jae Hyuk know about this too?
Yes, he does.
He kept glaring and lashed out at me.
They're making this much fuss over the bankruptcy thing.
If they find out the truth behind Choi Eun Hye's accident...
Gosh, even just thinking about it makes me...
Why is your mother so ignorant?
How could she cause a scene over a groundless speculation?
"Your mother"? She's your in-law now, Mother.
How brazen.
How dare you talk back to your mother-in-law?
It must run in your blood.
Like mother, like daughter.
Please watch what you say.
What?
Do you not know why my mom did that?
Why don't you think about what you did first?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do such a horrible thing to my family?
Do you know what my family had to go through because of you?
We had to sleep in public saunas in that cold winter.
Do you know how miserable we were?
Even after losing Eun Hye like that,
we couldn't even afford to be sad.
Knowing what you did,
how could you be so unshamed?
I don't know exactly what my mom did to you today,
but compared to what you did to my family back then,
this is nothing.
Why... Why on earth did you do such a thing?
I told you that I didn't do it!
I'm sorry,
but I don't believe you.
This is for dinner?
Yes, it certainly has enough calories to be considered a meal.
Gimbap tastes the best when it's eaten with hands.
Says who? Nonsense.
Anyway, thanks for making these.
Isn't it good?
Yes, it is good indeed.
It's seasoned perfectly.
It doesn't look the greatest, but it tastes good.
Next time, I'll pay more attention to the presentation as well.
I should taste this.
Eat up.
I know I made this, but it's so delicious.
Sure.
Gosh, what is all this? Did something explode?
I'll clean it all up.
It's not like you cooked up a feast.
Why did you make such a mess?
Right? If someone saw our kitchen now,
they'd think she cooked for a banquet.
There isn't enough countertop space.
You'll probably tear down the kitchen next time you cook.
I'll try to be neater. Go get some rest.
I can't help you because of my wrist.
- Clean it all up. - Yes, ma'am.
Why don't I cook going forward?
You take care of laundry and cleaning.
No, I like cooking. What shall I make tomorrow?
Let's order in. It's too much work to clean all this up.
Come on. This isn't too much work. I'll make something delicious.
What would be good? Spicy braised chicken?
Braised semi-dried pollock? Octopus stew?
No, no. I should make gujeolpan.
No, let's eat instant noodles.
Mr. Choi.
I love instant noodles.
- Mr. Choi. - Instant noodles, okay?
Mr. Choi.
So it's true that you made her family go bankrupt?
I had no choice.
Back then, Jae Hyuk was trying so hard to find...
Choi Eun Hye and her family.
What if he figured out what we had done?
Why did that man, Mr. Bang, leave that ledger behind?
That's what I'm saying.
You don't need to worry about it though.
He was over 80. Who'd believe what a senile man wrote?
It can't serve as evidence.
Exactly. And he's dead.
Because Jae Hyuk married So Won,
I can't be at peace.
I can't sleep well at night until I kick them out.
Mother might have had something to do with the accident.
Whoever it was,
I will not forgive the person who's responsible for Eun Hye's death.
Never.
Sorry? What did you say?
Hwang Yeon Su is one of the people who bought the door edge guard?
- Ho Jin. - So Won.
I just found out that Yeon Su had bought the same door edge guard.
What?
Did you see me by any chance?
No, of course not.
The accident took place near our house.
Hwang Yeon Su.
(Bad Love)
That means Yeon Su did it to hurt you.
This time, we must make Yeon Su pay for what she did.
Of course. She deliberately tried to hit you with her car.
And Jae Hyuk got hurt in that accident.
I will never forgive her.
Why are you suddenly being nice to Ha Eun?
She's growing on me. She's pretty adorable.
I'd love a daughter like her.
I must make Min Hyuk the VP of this company at all costs.
I'll feel very confident if I can get Director Song on my side.
I'll do my best to retrieve what is rightfully mine.
I'll make sure Min Hyuk can't become the new owner of Noyu.
