Weren't you shocked? Go home.

It'll take some time to get his test result.

I must've sinned a lot in my previous life.

Unlike other people's kids, why is it so hard for my kids to make a match?

Wasn't your misfortune enough? How come even Jaejoon flipped out like that?

He's still young. He'll be alright, so don't worry too much.

Maybe I am really old.

Whenever something terrible happens, my heart is melting down.

I'm sorry I couldn't do my bit for you at times like this.

How about putting off my departure to Los Angeles?

What are you talking about? You can't reverse the decision.

You think business is a joke?

Blowing hot and cold for family affairs can cloud discipline of the company.

Plodding away at your job is helping me.

Okay. I'll leave for L.A as scheduled then.

Do your job right.

You've lost credit with the board recently.

Okay. I'll go first then.

I've completely forgotten for 10 years...

...that I can love again.

In fact, I too had feelings for you.

But, how can I dare to...

This is the list of candidates to work with you in L.A.

They're well-known chefs. The L.A office will hire one upon your approval.

Hold it off a little. There's a candidate in Korea to leave with me.

Pardon? Can I know who the candidate is?

I'll talk with her and let you know by today.

Ms. Song? Can I see you for a minute?

Guess what. I'm going to give you a scoop.

Have you heard the rumor that Heeyon Jeong's husband has an affair?

Is that what you meant by a scoop?

I'm sure. Cover the case.

No way. They are a lovey-dovey couple.

They appeared arm-in-arm at a film's premiere yesterday.

They live separately.

I heard it from her closest person. Check it out.

When you have a result, let me know.

Wait.

Why do you tip me off about it?

Is it to drag her down and take her position?

Do you know what my motto is?

"Give as good as you get."

Heeyon is notorious for being mean to reporters.

It won't do you any harm that I usurp her place.

If I owe you the big favor, you'll be a savior of my lifetime.

Not a bad deal. Let me verify it first.

Rush it, please.

When I take her seat, I'll reward you with a bigger scoop.

A bigger scoop?

You mean, you might marry a business tycoon like Heeyon did?

Well. You'll have to wait and see.

Does she mean Mr. Minjoon Park?

When did you come?

What are you thinking so hard that you didn't hear me come in?

Did I?

Is anything troubling you?

Have a seat.

I brought some midnight snacks for you.

What an honor to have top chef's snack delivery.

You know, you are the first man that I made food for personally.

It's the first time for me too that someone made food only for me.

Well, how did it feel to make food only for me?

I've never felt that way before.

Like, 'Oh, so this is why women marry.'

That's a surprise. I thought you put career before marriage.

It depends on whom I will marry.

I am ambitious but I too am a woman.

Setting a table for my husband and ironing his clothes...

I too dream of such a life.

Remember I told you I have something to tell you?

How's your work going? You're rarely on TV recently.

In fact, NBC might let me co-host Healing Recipe, so I cut other activities.

I think I will have an okay soon.

Really? You're going to take charge of a hit program.

The saying is right that when one door closes, another opens.

I thought I was done for as a cook and didn't know what do to for the future.

Now I'm so happy to work in broadcasting I've dreamed of.

You will root for me, right?

Of course. I believe you'll do a good job.

By the way, what is it you wanted to tell me urgently?

Well. Let's talk about it later after your casting is decided.

Stop!

- Jaejoon! - Jaejoon!

Jaejoon! Jaejoon, wake up. Jaejoon.

Jaejoon.

Don't you dare touch him!

Hyejin, his hand is ice-cold.

Why is he sweating hard?

What if he doesn't wake up from the coma? Jaejoon...

He's sleeping under sedation. He'll be alright.

Where is Mr. Park?

Outside. I think he feels heavy.

You should rein your tongue.

He must not know about the relationship between Jaejoon and Esol.

Doctor.

What's wrong with my son? What seems to be the problem?

We're waiting for the CT and MRI results.

Mom, I'm going out for a minute.

Where?

It's important to Jaejoon. I'll be back.

What is it you want to tell me about Jaejoon?

How is he? Did he wake up?

Look, can you stay out of my fiance?

I understand you loved each other but now it's over.

It's rude of you to behave like this.

I'm sorry. I wanted to give this to you.

What is this?

It slipped out of his pocket when he fell.

It might help find out what's wrong with him.

Okay. You may go.

Please do me a favor.

Can you text me when his results come out? Please.

You're so!

You're really tenacious. Go back before you catch hell.

Mom.

Come with me for a minute.

Go in. Go in!

Mother.

Are you satisfied now? Did everything come up to your wish?

Mother.

Why, am I wrong?

My wish? I don't get it.

You think I don't know? You clearly told me...

...that you want to protect what Jaejoon wanted by breaking up with you,

...so you have to remain as a staff of TNC to the end.

Yes, but...

I didn't know you really meant it and are this cheeky.

I thought you'd get my drift and quit the company at my preposterous demand.

Then again, you ignored my warning and showed up?

How dare you come there! How dare you!

I'm sorry. But...

But what?

A smart-alec like you didn't surmise that much?

You said yourself it'd do no good for Jaejoon to see you. You knew that much!

'If I can't be in his league, I'd rather rain on his parade.'

Yeah! So after you messed up his engagement,

...are you feeling good? Satisfied?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it but... It's my fault.

I don't want to hear your fake apology. Let me say one last word.

You said you truly love Jaejoon.

Guess you clearly saw today what he became of because of you.

He's lost everything because of you.

His health, engagement, business and even his future!

So, I'm begging you.

Like you said, if you truly love Jaejoon,

...don't linger around him and just disappear from his life!

Disappear from his sight, so you won't meet him even by accident!

Please be gone and cut off our ill-fated relationship, okay?

You can do that, right? You must!

Answer. Answer now!

Okay, I will. I'm sorry.

She's such a tough cookie.

Hope she got it now after all that talk.

Don't worry. I'll make sure to leave no seed of future trouble.

Will it be okay to marry this weakling?

I must go skiing in winter and go surfing in summer,

...but isn't he too weak to play sports?

He looks cute though.

Wait. He's not a sleeping beauty but he's mine anyway.

Shall I make progress with him by myself?

So boring!

By the way, why is it so quiet?

Aren't they busting her?

Hey, Esol Kang. Come here.

Hey. Hey, stop there!

Hey!

I really want to fall over the stairs with you and die together.

Why?

Today I lost what I've desperately wanted for the past 30 years...

...because of trash like you.

Hey, you've heard this, right?

Catfish living in muddy water can never live in the cleanest water after ayu.

You think all human beings are equal?

You and Jaejoon belong to totally different worlds from the birth.

Whatever petty tricks you use to hook a rich guy,

...we're not in your pocket.

Getting rid of you is a piece of cake.

So get a grip, and be gone for good.

We don't want to meet you even by accident,

...so go back where you belong. Got that?

If you need more, call me.

I'm willing to give your fare back to muddy water.

Gosh, my arm hurts.

Mom.

What did you come here? Let's go.

So you should've left earlier.

Just come.

Esol...Esol...

Esol Kang...

Esol...

I meant it when I said I took to you.

I don't understand why a man like you likes me.

There's one reason. When I'm with you, I become myself.

The L.A. office urges your approval regarding the chief personnel.

Have you talked with the candidate in Korea?

We need to hurry to prepare documents.

I'll let you know by today.

I might co-host Healing Recipe.

Yes, Mr. Park. Are you already at work?

Let me ask something. Have you heard from NBC?

They haven't decided yet.

Is there any possibility of failure?

Well, it's almost approved and will be decided by today.

I see. Let me know as soon as you get the result.

Okay, I will.

It's strange. Why is he so curious about it?

By the way, why hasn't Ms. Song called me yet?

This is Lena. How is it going?

Actually, I was going to call you. There's a problem.

Problem? What do you mean?

Hi, Ms. Song.

What do you mean by the problem?

Take a seat.

Was the tip-off I gave you wrong?

No. They live separately and their reality is really shocking.

The man is Sehyon Kim, her husband and the woman is his mistress.

Then is the boy their child?

Right. They have a 3-year old son named Jinu.

So if this is made public, you can take her position as you wish.

Then what's stopping you? What's the problem?

The desk. I think Sehyon Kim put pressure on it.

It'll be the same with other press. We better dispose of this.

Nonsense! We can't dispose of such a big scoop.

My livelihood is more important than this.

Eujin! Can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

Excuse me.

Ms. Song, I'll leave then. Thank you anyway.

If even the press takes side with the power, what can I do? I'll do it myself.

Coffee.

Are you telling me to drink this? It's cold.

Can we talk for a minute?

Talk? About what?

Co-host of Healing Recipe.

Oh, that? It's already decided. I'll go with a rising starlet, not with you.

So you mean, you'll oppose me to the end?

I told you. I can't work with a self-conceited amateur like you.

Let's go. I have a meeting.

Wait. I didn't want to go this far but...

...I'd better bring about Jinu.

What did you just say?

Don't say you don't even know his name.

Jinu Kim.

Leave us alone.

Ms. Jeong, there's no...

Leave us alone!

How did you know that?

I think that's not important now.

Heeyon Jeong, the icon of happy married women.

From home appliances to clothes to coffee,

...as the envy of all women, you're featured in six commercials.

If this reality is made public, what will happen to you?

Since your husband is rich, it'll be okay with you to lose advertising work.

But this scandal will strike a fatal blow to your image.

Will you be okay?

Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong to you?

How mean of you to blindside me. You can't be a human.

Did you already forget? You started this first by blindsiding me in public.

I learned this from you.

I'll make it short.

If you oppose me to the end, I will release this picture to the media.

So choose. Me or reporters?

Hurry. Make the decision before you go to the meeting.

Ms. Bae, this is Heeyon.

I just spoke with Lena Jeong. I'll go with her.

Yes, from next shooting.

Get out.

Now you see? Even the worm will turn.

Had you been a little nice to me from the first, I wouldn't come this far.

So you better be careful before me.

Those who have nothing to lose fear nothing to do.

Yes.

Now? Okay, I'll be right there.

This is the contract.

Only the name is changed to Lana Jeong.

For how long?

Three months until the new lineup.

Want to go long-term?

No.

In the next lineup, it'll be Lena Jeong's Healing Recipe, not Heehyon Jeong's.

There's no limit to your desire.

By the way, how did you change her mind?

You taught me how.

I abandoned my scruples and made one more step.

You're a holy terror.

Let me ask one thing.

What magic are you going to do to make it Lena Jeong's Healing Recipe?

Everybody knows Heeyon's spells are weakened.

How about me turning into a Cinderella, like in the fantasy of the women?

Cinderella?

Wait, are you going to get married?

To whom?

You taught me that too. "If you catch him, you'll soar high."

Anyways, thank you for everything. I'll work hard.

Lena Jeong's Healing Recipe.

Mr. Park, you want to know the result, right?

I'm coming now. Bye.

Then...

I'm going to join the show next week.

Can you keep me company that day? Then I won't be nervous.

Well, I think I can't.

Why? Do you have another engagement?

I won't be in Korea.

Are you going on a business trip?

I will work at the Los Angeles office for one year.

What?

Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

I was going to ask you to come with me but...

...I couldn't since you looked forward to this job.

Congrats. I'll root for you from a distance. I wish you success.

Must you go?

We just confirmed our love to each other and I can't live away from you.

Don't go. Stay with me.

I can't do anything without you.

Please don't go. I'm begging you.

Please don't go.

I'm sorry. I've prepared for it for a long time and I can't help it.

One year is too long.

You never know what will happen between us.

Still, must you go? Can't you reconsider it for me?

Lena.

I see. If you have to go, do as you like!

Lena! You can't leave like this.

Let's go back in. I'll explain everything.

Leave me alone. I can't think anything straight.

Go back in. Let me explain everything.

No need! You'll leave in anyway!

Let's study antonyms.

Okay.

"Cold."

"Hot."

Good! "Long."

"Short."

Oh, that's my boy!

You're so smart though you don't have a mom.

Now, a little more difficult words.

"Heavy."

Heavy?

"Not heavy!"

"Thick."

"Not thick."

Are you defying me now?

No, I'm not.

You little! When you have a poor parent, you should at least study hard.

Otherwise, you can't marry a woman. Let's try again.

There is time to study. But this is no time to study.

Esol is sick in bed for days, so how can I focus on studying?

You're going to be something.

You're a past master at glozing over a mistake.

Esol, try to eat some.

You're going to die. Please stop worrying me.

What happened to you?

Don't just cry. Tell me.

What is it? What's the matter?

Just tell me! What's the matter? Tell me what troubles you.

Mom.

Yes. Yes, go ahead.

Is it because of Jaejoon?

You really can't get over him? Is it why?

He isn't worth your tears.

Forget about him. Please, just forget about him, okay?

Mom...

I must be crazy.

Do you know what I thought yesterday?

The other day, you asked if I had ever regretted being your daughter.

I regretted it yesterday.

I wish I had been born to rich parents.

Then I wouldn't have to break up with him or be ignored,

...and I could follow my dream.

I'm crazy. I'm crazy, right?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm really sorry.

Don't be. You haven't done anything wrong.

It's all my fault.

Panic disorder?

What kind of illness is it?

It's a psychiatric disability caused by severe mental pressure or stress.

Once you are triggered, you have difficulty in breathing,

...anxiety, pounding heart and intense feeling of dread.

Then you collapse from panic attack.

So you mean, our son suffers a mental illness?

It seems he's known about his illness but didn't you know about it at all?

No, we didn't. We had no clue.

He's never showed such symptoms before us.

I think he's carried the burden alone.

He's kept taking this medicine since he got the diagnosis from other doctor.

Please stop. It's my life so let me live my life.

Since you tell me what to do every time, I'm sick. I am sick!

Here! I'm sick here!

I'm suffocating to death! I feel stifled!

Jaejoon. Jaejoon...

My son... My child...

I made you sick.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

It's my fault.

Jaejoon...Jaejoon...

Dongyang Hospital. Inchol...

I see.

Please take good care of my son-in-law. Bye.

Did you get Jaejoon's test results? So, what's his problem?

Does he have a severe illness? Like cancer?

My guess was right. He has panic disorder.

Panic disorder?

What's that? Does he panic at an airport?

Then he can't get on a plane? I'll be up over with travelling abroad.

You're so!

Get a grip. That's not the issue!

If things go wrong, we'll lose the Qingdao hospital.

Lose? You don't mean you'll reject Jaejoon since he's sick, do you?

You think I'm crazy?

That mere catfish made water muddy.

I'm worried Heera might change her mind in remorse.

Catfish? Who do you mean?

It's obvious. Esol Kang.

Esol Kang? Oh! The girl who dated Jaejoon in your place captivated him?

I wonder whose daughter that troublemaker is.

Oh, here it is!

It's still here.

Ma'am, this is the old-timer of our hospital.

- Oh, hi. - Hi.

I heard you wanted to see me. What's this regarding?

She's looking for a man.

Well, do you know this doctor?

Oh, Dr. Inchol Seo? I know him.

My. I took this picture.

Really?

Yes. He was so handsome that he was popular with nurses.

Her name is on the tip of my tongue.

It's written on the back. Right here, "Eunhye."

Oh, right! Eunhye Jeong.

She was a dietician and really pretty like Miss Korea.

There were rumors the two were in love.

Have you heard any news about her?

No. She resigned all of a sudden and disappeared.

And a little later, Dr. Seo got married and left this hospital.

Oh, really.

Do you know by any chance where I can reach him?

Heera, try to eat some though you don't have an appetite.

I cooked this beef bone soup all night for you. Eat some.

All night? You almost burned the pot while you're sleeping.

Shut up!

Come on, eat some.

When Jaejoon is hanging between life and death,

...you should eat and endure by force of will.

Dang it. Who says Jaejoon is hanging between life and death?

Is he not? Then is his life despaired of? Oh, Jaejoon!

My baby doctor, my poor Jaejoon!

Mother. I beg you, please use your mouth for eating only.

When you feel like to talk, just eat a lot.

Excuse me. I'll go take a shower and go to Jaejoon.

Heera.

Honey, you might collapse!

She can't attend on him without sleep or rest.

You don't answer. I'm at the cafe in front of you house.

We need to talk.

Yes. It's all or nothing.

Uncle, please do me a favor.

Can you call me in 30 minutes?

Yes. You can just listen.

Did you have meal?

Can I order something for you?

No. I can't even swallow water.

Lena.

After I left like that, I thought over and over again.

And I made a decision.

Decision?

When do you leave for Los Angeles?

Twenty-first this month.

It's my passport.

Lena.

I'll come with you.

The LA office hasn't gotten on the track so you'll have a rough time of it.

I want to help you by your side. I'll come with you.

What about your broadcasting job?

I'll give up.

Though it's my dream and hard-won job,

...it's not as much valuable as you are.

We have met by fate and I can't part with you this easily.

One of us should give up. If you can't, I should give up.

I'll come with you.

Lena.

Tolerate me for a while though. I might get grumpy about my abandoned dream.

I'll try my best to adjust myself. So tolerate me until then.

Excuse me.

Yes.

I'm sorry, Ms. Bae. But I won't change my mind.

I know I can't have that position when I'm back after a year.

I understand I might not do the broadcasting job again.

Still, I can't. No amount of persuasion can change my mind. So...

Give me just one day.

I'll make it no deal.

Mr. Park.

I'm sorry I put the burden on you instead of taking care of it myself.

I'll do it. Give me a little time.

Mr. Park.

What? Withdraw the decision?

I'm sorry. Please allow me.

Are you in your right mind? I told you business is no joke.

A chain of recent incidents already made you a pet hate of the board members.

You think you can keep your seat after you reverse the decision?

No. Leave as scheduled.

I won't.

If I have to suffer a disadvantage, I'll accept it.

You must be out of your mind. What's the reason?

The reason to reverse the decision even embracing disbenefit?

Tell me! Why do you have to remain in Korea?

Father, I've never put my personal life before the company.

Help me just this once.

So you must remain in Korea for a personal life?

What's that personal life I don't know about?

I've got something I must protect.

Something you must protect? What is it?

Is it a woman?

I'll tell you later. Please allow me.

Dang it. Don't I know you?

You already made up your mind and notify it to me.

Alright. Do as you like.

Instead, you better be prepared to submit to whatever disbenefit from this!

I'm already prepared for that.

What kind of woman has captivated that susceptible boy?

Would you like to take a look?

Yes, please.

Does it have a meaning too?

Yes.

It is "The key to the house of happiness." Isn't it beautiful?

I like the meaning.

Where are we going?

You'll see when we get there.

How did it go with your withdrawing the position in the L.A. offie?

That too. You'll see when we get there.

Mr. Park.

Let's buy some flowers.

Flowers?

You were very sick. What made you want to make dumplings?

I was reminded of the days in Kaohsiung.

Dumplings bring in luck, so we used to make dumplings on Sundays.

Right.

Why, do you miss those days?

Yes. Though we were tired, we had peace of mind.

Good days will come again. Eat dumplings a lot and cheer up, okay?

Right. It was the first time I saw you sick.

Don't be sick again.

Don't worry. I've returned to my old form.

Then let's toast to healthy Esol Kang!

Cheers!

Hello? Yes.

You found him?

Oh, thank you.

I don't need your reasons!

I clearly told you to run the clinic well while I was busy persuading Mr. Park.

How could you lose that many Chinese customers?

You're going to drive the hospital to ruin.

We're short of Chinese-speaking coordinators and you were often absent.

I have only one pair of hands.

Are you saying you've done well?

If the construction of Qingdao hospital is delayed, I'll be in huge debt to the bank.

We must increase income by all means, so gird up your loins!

Then we need to advertise our clinic.

Don't worry! I already talked with an ad agency.

Starting from Healing Recipe this week, we will do ads on TV.

Healing Recipe?

Yes.

Well, is this Dr. Inchol Seo?

This is he. Who's calling?

This is Yangsoon Goo. Do you remember?

Yangsoon Goo? Were you my patient?

It's not that.

I worked as a domestic when you lived in Banpo 20 years ago.

Banpo? Yangsoon Goo?

Well, when you brought in your love child...

Why? Who is it?

So what's this regarding?

How have you been?

Now do you remember me?

Surely many years have passed. I can hardly recognize you on the street.

Why did you show up after 20 years?

Didn't you promise my mother?

That in return for raising the baby,

you will not look for her parents and take it to the grave.

Dr. Seo.

If you're expecting something from me, you're mistaken.

I am not able to help you nor I want to.

So please go back.

Wait. Please wait and listen to me for a minute.

Tell me quick. I have a surgery.

Please take a look. That little baby has grown into a lady.

Take a look. She's your daughter.

What the heck do you want from me? Money?

Are you asking for money you spent on raising her?

Or do you want me to buy your silence before you destroy my family?

No, it's not that. Though I'm poor, I'm not that wicked.

I only want to ask you a favor.

She took after you so she's smart, good-looking, and kind-hearted.

She's too good for me and she'll be on a par with anyone.

So?

But since I've lived in poverty, I couldn't take good care of her.

She dropped out of college and earned a living to pay off my debts.

Get to the point. I'm busy.

I'm sorry. It might be presumptuous of me to say this but,

...could you help her a little?

She wants to be a cook.

Could you put her through college or help her marry a decent man?

That's all I wish. If only she does well, I'm happy with it.

Ms. Goo.

Please help my daughter. You are her birth father.

Please. Do me the favor.

Listen carefully. I don't have a daughter like this.

I regarded her as dead when I gave her up to you.

I have a happy family life, so your doing this to me makes me feel offended.

Did I force you to raise her? You took her voluntarily.

Rich or poor, it's your and her fate.

So don't show up again. I hope we'll never meet again.

Wait. Then let me know how I can reach her mother.

Eunhye Jeong, right? The dietician in the past. Where does she live?

To her with MOM. She's no different from me.

She abandoned her baby for money. What can you expect from her?

There's nothing good about your doing this, so live as it is.

And it's better for the girl to live as your child than to find her parents!

Still, please tell me where her mother is.

You're so! How should I know?

I parted with her 20 years ago and have seen nothing of her!

Poor girl.

Abort the baby.

Inchol.

I get married soon.

Unlike you, she's a rich heiress of a hospital.

Then what about our baby?

Abort it!

You want to make a parentless child?

I can't take responsibility so abort it.

Got that?

I've completely forgotten about it but why,

...why does she bring it up now?

That dogged wench is to blame for all this.

I don't know where and how she lives, but if I see her,

...I won't leave her alone.

Is it here? Who are we going to...

It's someone I love as much as you.

You mean...

I'm sure she wants to see you very much.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

We have a new Healing Chef to assist me.

I hope to get a lot of love and attention from you.

You'll only shake him up and drag him down.

This is really goodbye.

You've changed a lot.

How did the orphan girl of oozing poverty become Lena Jeong?

Whatever may happen, you won't change your mind, right?

What can happen to us?

You still don't get it? Your caring about me is a nuisance.

I'm really sick of you.

She died! She died from an illness before I registered her birth!
