Original subtitles

Give it to me. Let me check.

- What's wrong with you? - Give it to me.

Stop it!

What's this?

This...

Isn't this the written promise?

It's the written promise. We found it, Jaeun.

It's here.

I told you.

I told you she stole it. I was right.

Now do you believe me? Now do you believe that she stole it?

I'm going to report all of you.

How dare you steal this from your friend's daughter?

You stole it and threw her out too.

You made her sleep outside and work like a slave.

Was it you?

Really... Was it really you?

It wasn't, was it? Tell me it wasn't you.

Tell me you didn't steal it.

Please.

If...

If you say it wasn't you, I will believe you.

Just tell me you didn't do it.

Come on...

Mrs. Hwang!

Why bother asking? You saw it for yourself.

You trust people too easily and are foolish. That's why this happened.

Let's go.

You're not in good shape. We should get out of here.

I'm taking Jaeun and leaving now.

But I'll come back soon and teach you a lesson.

How can you do such a thing and call yourselves human?

Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

- Nagwon-dong, Seoul, please. - Yes, alright.

Let's go to the place I'm staying at for now.

What? Jaeun's stepmom?

Why didn't you call me earlier?

Okay, I'll be there soon.

It's me. I'm leaving early.

I have to drop by my parents' place.

Wait. Don't hang up.

- Why are you going there? - Something's come up.

I know that. You wouldn't go there otherwise.

So what is that something?

You don't want to tell me?

No. I don't really want to talk about it.

I'll be late. Don't wait up for me.

I'm hanging up now.

Was it that serious?

How many of them came for the house to end up like this?

I'm here, mom. Dad...

Grandma, are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?

You're here?

I'm not hurt, but I am so sick and tired of this.

That written promise has created chaos in our house several times.

That written promise has been gotten rid of for good now.

I guess this won't ever happen again.

But I have such a bad feeling about all of this.

Hey, what happened?

I heard mom got caught before she gave it back. Is that right?

How did she get caught?

Her stepmom didn't find it in the wardrobe, did she?

Mom took the written promise to give back to Jaeun.

That's why she called Jaeun out for lunch.

This is so frustrating. Talk to me.

How did she get caught?

Hey...

Hwang Taehui!

Mom, why did you do it?

Why didn't you return it to her? Why did you keep it?

You had plenty of time to give it back to her.

Did you get greedy over the farm again?

Did you keep hesitating and end up getting caught like that?

What do you mean by that? Don't be rude to your mom.

You went out to have lunch ages ago.

Why didn't you return it to her until then?

What's gotten into you?

Everyone in this house is upset and mad right now.

Why didn't you give it back?

Why did you scar her for life?

How dare you? Hwang Taehui!

What's going on here?

Why did you steal the written promise?

Hey, Taehui...

Taehui!

Goodness.

What's gotten into Taehui?

Taebeom, go outside and bring him in.

What's wrong with him?

Let him be. He's never done anything like that before.

How upset must he be to be like that? Leave him.

Bring him back inside.

Yes, dad. I'll go out and talk to him.

What's gotten into you? This isn't like you.

Do you really think mom hesitated because she got greedy?

You shouldn't have said that, no matter how mad you were.

Well... It's not like you'd get mad for no reason...

Do you have feelings for Jaeun? Is that it?

Seeing as you're not denying it, it must be true.

- No. - Really? Do you swear?

No, I said no!

Why are you so angry then? Why did you get mad at mom?

How can I not get mad? Think about what mom did to Baek Jaeun!

You should've seen her eyes when she left!

You do have feelings for her.

I don't.

Gosh, you look like you could hit me.

You asked me this once.

You asked if I treated you the way I do because you're not Taepil.

Let me use those lines on you today.

Every time you refuse to talk about yourself like now...

It really upsets me.

I wonder if it's because I'm not your real brother.

Taebeom...

It's not like that. It's not.

I just feel pain in here.

I feel sorry and I pity her. That makes me mad.

You fool. That means that you like her.

I don't. I don't like her.

You do too.

I don't. I'm Hwang Taehui, a member of Mensa.

I know how I feel.

Gosh...

Fine then, member of Mensa. You don't like her.

But if you keep feeling pain and anger, go and see her.

Find her and protect her...

Until you stop feeling mad. No matter what.

Let's have dinner.

If I had known you were coming, I would've gone shopping.

It's a little late, so I just cooked with what I had.

Have some. I'll go and do some grocery shopping tomorrow.

What do you want to eat? How about stir-fried small octopus?

Have some food.

You have no reason to be so upset and to refuse to talk.

Why should you feel pain and starve when they're the guilty ones?

How long did you live in that tent?

The neighbors said she even made you work on the farm.

Did you really raise ducks and work in the pear field?

You were so sheltered growing up. How could you do such work?

Let's sell the farm right away.

You must be sick of that farm by now.

I'll take care of selling it. Don't worry about a thing.

Because of his debts, everything under your dad's name

will be seized by the creditors. You know that, right?

So we have to sell the farm.

Have something to eat.

- I'm here. - Yes, hello.

Why are you alone? Where's Taebeom?

He'll be late from work. Did you have dinner?

Of course we did. It's late.

- Have you had dinner yet? - Yes, I ate already.

- Where's mom? - Upstairs talking to your aunt.

Yeoul keeps insisting that she'll open that store.

- Sit down, what's wrong? - I just came by on my way home.

- I'm going then. - Okay.

Yeogyeong!

Honey, book the first flight available tomorrow, right now!

- Trust me just this once. - Words don't get through to you.

This is the only way to prevent any further losses.

I can do it this time. I'll do a good job!

You're always so positive, even though you have no plans.

How will you succeed?

Even the head office has given up on that store.

They've made losses for months and the whole retail area's dead.

The likelihood of sales picking up is close to zero!

That's because people don't know that there's a store there.

If we promote it for the first 2 months and raise awareness...

How will you raise awareness?

What are you doing? Call and make a booking.

Stop it, mom!

It's her life. She isn't a 3-year-old baby!

You've gone beyond love and interest. This is too much. This is tyranny!

- Cha Suyeong... - She doesn't want to go.

She wants to open, no matter what.

Isn't this why you keep arguing with Taebeom too?

If the recipient doesn't like it and can't breathe, back off.

How can you be so dogmatic and stubborn all the time?

Suyeong!

Suyeong, I can breathe. It's not that bad.

You're no better than mom. Are you 7 years old in mental age?

You can't be naive and bright all the time.

If you're naive at your age, that just makes you a fool.

If you must open, present your vision and future prospects.

Show your determination and your confidence in succeeding.

I'm your niece, but when I hear that you're going to do something...

I wonder how much you'll lose. How do you think mom feels?

Don't you know you're at fault for making mom hysterical?

Suyeong.

Cha Suyeong, what's wrong? Did something happen?

Nothing happened. I'm going.

What is it? Did you fight with Taebeom again?

Do you think that's all we do?

We didn't fight. Taebeom's good to me.

He's so good he moves me to tears. Every day is like paradise!

Goodness, how dare you shout?

This isn't me.

It's the hormones from being pregnant. It's not Cha Suyeong.

So you must understand!

- I'm going. - Suyeong! Goodness.

What's gotten into her?

She makes such a fuss. Just like when you were pregnant.

You were just like her when you had her in your belly.

Why didn't you give her the written promise?

I keep asking myself the same thing.

Why did I hesitate? Why did I have it with me?

I shouldn't have gone to the market or had knife-cut noodles.

I should've given it to her as soon as I met her.

I can't forget the way she looked at me at the end.

She must've been so stunned.

She trusted me.

She even bought me a dishwasher. She must feel so betrayed.

She must've wanted to die.

Please leave your message after the tone.

- What are you doing here? - I came to meet someone.

I went to meet my stepmom... At the student hostel over there.

Jeong Yunsuk?

She went inside earlier with a young lady.

We seem more miserable than a funeral home.

What's wrong with you all? This is meal time.

If you sit miserably, you won't be able to swallow.

I'm sorry, mother.

I'm going to Jaeun's school after breakfast.

I think I should meet her and settle the farm issue.

I don't know if she would've gone to school.

I'd like to join you, but today is my first day at work.

- Work? - Yes, I got a job.

Mom, grandma. I'm the head manager at a hiking fashion store.

Really? That's good news if it's the truth.

Yes, I really found a job.

Is it a full-time job? Not casual?

If you're the head manager, it must be full-time.

It is. The owner acknowledged my sales skills.

We settled on a salary and I got a proper job.

Seeing as my brothers, and even mom, have caused so much trouble...

I decided that I should wake up and live properly.

We all know about your mom. What do you mean by your brothers?

What did they do wrong?

Nothing... I mean that Taebeom married after getting Suyeong pregnant.

- Are you going out already? - Yes.

I have a busy day. I'll go first.

Wait 10 minutes for me.

I'll get ready quickly. Let's go together.

No, I'll go ahead.

I may need to drop by somewhere on the way.

Hwang Taebeom, it's not like you to buy coffee.

It's hot.

Hyeonuk, you're not seeing anyone, are you?

Why? Are you going to introduce me to someone? Is she pretty?

So that means you won't be getting married any time soon

and spending your savings...

So?

I need some money urgently.

I know you're an investment expert and you have lots of savings.

How much?

- Around $20,000. - $20,000? Hey, Hwang Taebeom!

Lower your voice. I need it urgently.

I'll put my monthly pay check down as security, so just $20,000...

Or at least half?

I don't have any money.

You know I invested in stocks and that went bust recently.

What is it? What's wrong?

Don't worry about it.

I'm sorry. Pretend you didn't hear it.

Taebeom! Hwang Taebeom!

Now that this has happened, we'll have to move quickly.

Hello, it's Hwang Taebeom. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Yes, I'm fine. How are you?

Yes. Would you like to meet up today?

No, it's just been a long time since we last met.

Yes... I need to speak to you too.

Mom, where are you right now?

I need to ask you for a favor.

Her phone's turned off again.

What's wrong this time? Why doesn't she come to school?

Excuse me.

I'm here to meet Jaeun. I don't see her.

She didn't come to school today.

We were just trying to call her.

Taehui, it's dad.

I'm at Jaeun's school right now.

But she didn't come to school.

Her phone's switched off too.

Do you think I can have her stepmom's address?

Her stepmom's address?

How can you not know where the factory is?

Yes, I know it. I'd like to take you there myself...

I can't go right now.

Just tell me where it is. I'll go there myself.

Jaeun may not even be there.

- The location... - Lieutenant Hwang.

Dad, let's go together. I'll call you back right away.

Dongmin, I have to go out.

- Take care of it for me. - I'm busy...

Hey, bring that chair over here.

Okay.

- Jaeun's here? - Yes, her stepmom lives here.

Thank goodness we have you, otherwise we'd never find Jaeun.

The receptionist will tell us which room she's in, right?

It's 306. Dad, do you want to go upstairs together?

No, I'll go meet her alone. I'll be back.

Jaeun.

Have you eaten? Did you sleep?

What we did is terrible.

I know you won't be able to forgive us no matter what I say.

But Mrs. Hwang was going to give the written promise back to you.

She had already decided to give the farm back to you.

That's why she called you out for lunch.

That's why she had it in her bag and things turned out like this.

I just wanted you to know that.

Mrs. Hwang didn't plan to trick you till the end.

- Jaeun. - So?

How does that change anything?

She stole my written promise. She threw me out.

She tricked me for all that time. Does it all change now?

Jaeun! Open the door for just a minute.

We haven't finished talking about the farm yet.

Jaeun, we'll do as you ask us.

- We'll sell it if you like. - What do you think you're doing here?

How dare you come here?

Do you think Jaeun wants to see any of you right now?

Anyway, you're here. About the farm...

As I said last time, I don't want to discuss it with you.

I'm Jaeun's guardian.

Jaeun has designated all duties regarding to farm to me.

Excuse me!

Didn't you meet her? Isn't she inside?

I met her. She's here.

Let's go. Let's talk on the way.

Suyeong, what is it?

Today? Yes, I'm free.

I'm sorry, Misuk.

Something came up at home. That's why I couldn't call.

- Sit down so we can talk. - Yes.

- Where's Guksu? - Inside.

I see.

I'm sorry, Misuk.

I'll come by after work and before work from tomorrow...

No, don't bother.

- Take Guksu now. - What?

I have to go to work from tomorrow. I can't take care of him anymore.

The restaurant repairs are done.

Misuk, what am I to do then? What do I do?

Why are you asking me that?

I didn't take care of Guksu for you.

He was sent alone to this unfamiliar country one day.

I felt sorry for him, that's why I took him in for a few days.

It had nothing to do with you.

Thanks, I mean it. I'm grateful, Misuk.

I know. So take him today.

It's been a few days, as you promised.

And you shouldn't act like this for Guksu's sake either.

No, Misuk. Not now.

I can't tell you everything, but something huge has happened.

Misuk, can't you take care of him for a few more days?

Please, I'm begging you.

- Please, Misuk? - Hwang Taesik!

Firstly, I don't know why I have to do that.

Secondly, will a few days solve this issue?

Wake up to reality. You're a father now.

Don't just think of yourself. Think about Guksu too!

He came to Korea to see you, not to stay in someone else's home.

You make it sound so easy.

Don't speak like that because it's not your business.

If one day, a child you had never seen or heard about...

If a child just fell from the sky... How would you feel?

I feel like dying right now because of him.

Don't speak when you don't know.

Do you have any idea how I feel right now?

I do, better than anyone else in the world.

What?

That's how I met Hana.

Hana's not my daughter.

She fell from the sky one day. She's my sister's daughter.

- What? - I'll go and get Guksu. Wait here.

Guksu, you came to Korea to live with your dad, right?

So it wouldn't be right for you to keep staying here with me.

You understand, right?

But we live just next door so come over anytime, okay?

Let's go then.

Guksu, if anyone ever teases you about your ethnicity...

Don't hit them like you hit Hana when she teased you.

Don't hit them, just tell them accurately.

"Don't tease me."

"I'm Korean." Tell them that, okay?

Yes.

Father, how have you been?

- Good, let's sit down. - Yes.

What is it?

Is something going on with you and Taebeom?

No, it's not like that.

Father, is something wrong at home?

I think we have to move.

Taebeom didn't tell you, did he?

No, he didn't.

He just doesn't want you to have to worry about such things.

- Don't feel upset over that. - Yes, I figured.

I heard him speaking to you over the phone.

The thing is...

I want to be a good daughter-in-law...

Here.

What is this?

Please use it when you move. I want to do something for you.

- Does Taebeom know about this? - No, he doesn't.

Please keep it a secret.

Okay, thank you.

I will accept your kind heart.

But I can't take this. Take it back.

Please take it, father. I'm your daughter-in-law.

I don't do anything for you as your daughter-in-law.

I can't even visit often. I feel bad. I'd like to do this.

It's spare money that I've kept. I don't need it right away.

Please take it, father.

Taebeom doesn't speak about it, but he seemed really stressed lately.

I want to help Taebeom.

Please accept it, father.

So it was about money... I was wondering why you wanted to see me.

Sorry, but I'm broke right now too.

Sorry I can't help.

No, I'm sorry for visiting you out of the blue.

Let's have a drink next time.

- I have to go. - Yes, bye.

Yes, dad.

What? You have $20,000? How?

My uncle lent me some spare money.

Really? That's a relief.

Yes.

Yes.

Have you been indifferent to Suyeong because of all this?

She's pregnant. Take care of her.

Where are you?

Do you want to have lunch together?

- I'll show you to your seat. - Yes.

You're here.

Have a seat.

I thought you'd be busy again. I was surprised you called.

I was busy because of family affairs. It's gotten better now.

- Really? - Sorry I've been so cranky.

All I could think about were my parents.

That's what I'm like.

I'm not good at multi-tasking. If I'm busy with one thing...

Everything else comes second.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to understand, but don't get the wrong idea.

You still can't tell me what's happening with your parents?

I don't want to talk about it.

If I did, I would've told you.

So don't keep asking me.

I haven't told anyone else besides my family. It's not just you.

- I'm not family yet then? - Of course not.

You're a woman to me.

If we live together for the rest of our lives, I want you to be my woman.

I reserved the buffet. I thought you'd like it. Is it alright?

Did I tell you that I like buffets?

You never put it in words, but you've shown it a lot.

You practically gulp up anything and everything.

You won't run out of food here. Eat as much as you like.

It's not me. It's the baby who eats it all.

I know.

Wait here. I'll get it for you.

Wait... I want a lot of beef tartare and salmon.

Beef tartare. Salmon. A lot.

Is she going to eat it all?

Here.

Let's eat.

What is this? This is enough to feed a football team!

Why did you bring so much?

What's wrong? I brought it based on your usual appetite.

I can't eat this all! What am I, a pig?

Here, drink this. Don't choke on your food.

Yes...

- Sorry. - It's alright.

I heard it's hard to control gas when you're pregnant.

- I understand. - Thanks for understanding.

But try to control yourself in the office.

You really let it out top and bottom wherever, whenever lately.

I feel a little awkward and embarrassed at times.

Really?

If you can't control it, run out of the room quickly.

- Let me handle the rest. - Yes, that's a good idea.

Okay, I'll run out.

What is it? Do you want something warm to drink?

No... I'll wait outside.

What? Suyeong!

Do you feel better now?

Hey!

He should watch where he's going!

Are you alright?

Yes.

Watch your step. You're pregnant, you know.

Yes.

Let's go.

Did you find out where the factory is?

Pocheon?

Okay, let's go in 10 minutes. Bye.

You must love stir-fried spicy pork, Lieutenant Hwang.

Do you want some of mine?

So this is what the police cafeteria looks like.

Do you eat here often?

- Excuse me... - It's Kim Jeha.

You forgot my name, right? Kim Jeha of Good Films.

- Call me Producer Kim. - Yes, Mr. Kim Jeha.

I'll introduce you to another detective.

- Go and speak to him. - No, thanks.

I want to talk to you, Lieutenant Hwang Taehui.

You're the one I want.

Why does it have to be me?

Because... I like you.

- Do you know me? - I intend to get to know you.

By the way, I like handsome men.

What's the next schedule? Are you going undercover?

I didn't have much for lunch.

You're Detective Seo, right?

- Do you want one? - Yes, thank you.

- Do you want one? - It's okay.

- He doesn't like sweet food. - Ah, that's the opposite to me...

What do you like then?

Spicy foods like stir-fired small octopus?

You don't have any favorite foods?

Your silent treatment is making me even more curious.

- He likes... - Seo Dongmin.

Keep focused. Do you want to mess up again like last time?

You have really smooth hair.

Do you get it treated? Can I touch it?

Now I remember.

I thought you looked like someone. You look like Gang Dongwon.

You could be twins. I bet you hear that a lot.

Who do you take after?

Is your mom pretty?

Stop it. You're interrupting our investigation.

Yes, I'm sorry.

But is anyone really coming?

It's so quiet. I can't even see an ant.

Sorry, I need to answer this.

You shouldn't get out of the car.

Yes.

Be careful. I don't have a good feeling about him.

I think... He has the hots for you.

You should see the way he stares at you.

Hey!

Taehui, what about Producer Kim?

- Taehui. - Anything up for sale then?

I'll call you back.

Wait! Lieutenant Hwang!

Wait for me!

Wait a minute, please.

- Darn it! - He's chased us all the way here.

Did the criminal show up?

Where is he?

It like a cave in here. Why do you keep shutting the curtains?

You heard him talk about the farm earlier.

Jaeun, shouldn't we take care of the farm first?

I know you don't want to meet those people right now.

But we can't live here, like this, forever.

Hey! Jaeun!

Where are you going?

Gosh!

Taxi! Taxi!

What's wrong? Are you ill?

No, I just feel a little dizzy.

Your face is so pale. Your lips are so dry.

You're ill. I don't blame you.

- Go and lie down. - It's alright.

I didn't do anything right. I don't deserve to rest.

Hello, Mrs. Hwang.

It's only been a day, but it feels like it's been ages.

Jaeun...

I'm here to get my things. They're still in the attic, aren't they?

- Of course they are. - Really?

Why did you just leave them this time?

You always packed my things at the speed of light and threw them out.

Oh... That was before I found out about the written promise.

How were you last night? Did you sleep well?

I didn't sleep a wink.

I kept thinking about all the things I went through.

Those memories keep hammering at my heart.

The first thing I thought of was what you said

as you stole my written promise and threw me out.

You got so mad and said you'd swear on the heavens.

You said you have never seen the written promise.

You said it didn't go missing here. You said I'd never brought it here.

You packed my things yourself and threw me out.

The second thing was when I pitched my tent in the yard.

You picked up the tent and threw it as soon as you saw me.

You even kicked my pot of instant noodles.

Even dogs shouldn't be touched when they're eating.

You treated me worse than a dog.

Then, you poured water on me.

I didn't know until then.

I never knew it hurt so much to be hit with water.

Then you hit me for eating some pancakes at Thanksgiving.

I almost forgot about that one.

There were so many instances.

Countless, just like the stars in the sky.

What should I do with you now?

Should I stand you in the yard and soak you with the hose?

Should I hand you over to the police to be judged by the law?

Wait, your son's a police officer.

Should I hand you over to him?

But the thing I can't understand the most...

Even though I've thought about it all night and thought some more...

I can't understand this and it makes me shiver all over.

How did you look me in the eyes and smile like that?

How could you laugh with me, work on the farm, raise the ducks...

We held hands as we ran away from the neighbor's pen.

How could you drink with me in the attic so affectionately?

Grandma, you were right.

She is a better actress than any of the Academy Award winners.

I totally fell for it.

Not knowing that you were the crook...

Not knowing that it was you who had stolen my farm and written promise...

Just for comforting me when I was sick, I even asked,

"Mrs. Hwang, can't we just be mother and daughter?"

I take that back.

I take it back.

I will never utter such foolish, embarrassing, regretful words again...

Till the day I die.

- Who are you? - Who are you?

- Yeogyeong. - Go over there.

Who is he? Why's he clinging to you?

- Who is he? - Your grandson.

Stop, stop! It's not me.

What? Taesik...

- How dare you? - Dad!

Sell the farm. Immediately.

Okay then.

- Wait. - Get your hands off me!

I'm sorry. Your scarf...

Scarf? Thanks.

When did you know? Why didn't you tell me?

- Sorry. - For what?

I liked you.

My heart started to beat fast one day whenever I saw you.

You were the only man I trusted after my dad.

Forget it. Don't ever come to see me again.
