Original subtitles

I heard you had a rough week.

I found out who was behind it all…

… it was Manjong Baek.

What?

No way…

Is that true?

It is.

I’m your mother’s friend and I owe a lot to her.

She’s helped me a lot so I’d like to return the favor.

Can you come by? We should talk.

Okay.

Jangmi, get up.

Get up.

Eat this. Hm? Come on.

Eat it, will you?

If you were me, would you want to eat? How would you feel?

Imagine how Chorong must feel.

I’m sorry…

But I can’t eat when I know Chorong’s hurt.

Fine…

If you eat this and drink water…

Then I’ll let you see her.

Really? You mean it?

Yeah. I’ll help you… so eat this.

You’ve got to eat if you want to see her.

Mom, you promised!

Okay.

But you have to eat all of this. All of it.

Okay, I’ll eat it. I’ll eat all of it.

Go, hurry.

What was that? Is it you, Manjong?

My gosh!

You scared me!

I’m so sorry.

I heard the door open, was it Manjong?

No, he’s not home yet.

Mother, you should go to your room and sleep.

I wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t!

Chorong! Get away. I don’t want to play with you.

Why? Why don’t you want to play?

My mom told me your dad’s a bad person.

No. He’s not a bad person!

He’s a good person!

He’s not a bad person!

Let’s go!

Chorong.

Jangmi Unni?

Unni!

Unni, Daddy’s not a bad person, right?

Of course. Your Dad’s the best person in the world.

Don’t cry.

My friends told me Daddy’s a bad person.

No. Your friends are wrong… don’t cry.

What took you so long? I have so many questions.

Are you really my mom?

Yes.

I am… your mother.

Why didn’t you tell me? I thought Mommy was in heaven.

I’m sorry for lying to you.

I’m sorry I never told you.

I’m sorry that this is all I can do.

Unni, don’t cry.

Okay, you too, don’t cry.

Chorong, Chorong Park!

Can you give us a second?

Chorong, I’ve got to do something for Daddy.

What is it?

See I’ve…

I’ve made mistakes to him.

And people think Daddy’s a bad person.

So I need to explain to everyone that they’re wrong.

I’ll be back after I do that, be good till then?

Yeah. You’re coming back, promise?

- Promise. - Promise.

Chorong, go inside. Your teacher’s waiting.

Okay.

Unni…

Did you come to pick Chorong up?

Yeah, how’d you come out?

Dad let you?

No, he doesn’t know. Mom got me out.

I came out to see Chorong. How’s Chadol doing?

It’s really hard for him.

But he’s trying not to show it to the family.

He wants to carry the burden alone… for you.

Jangmi, I’m your sister and you’re my priority.

But Chadol and Chorong can’t be the only ones bearing the burden.

Yeah, I know.

Don’t worry… I’ll handle it.

I’ll see you later, take care of Chorong.

Don’t worry about her.

Why does Youngguk Lee want to see me?

Mother, it’s me.

Yeah, what is it?

Gangho Group’s Youngguk Lee wants to see me.

Have you heard anything from Mrs. Ma?

Really? No, I didn’t hear anything.

Manjong, maybe he wants to support you for the election.

After what happened with Sooryun?

Maybe because I kept Mrs. Ma’s secret?

Maybe she told him to help you out?

What secret?

Don’t worry about it. Don’t mind it.

You should go see him.

Okay, I will.

Jangmi’s not causing trouble, right?

She’s quiet so I think she gave up.

Ma, you’ve got to keep an eye on her yourself.

We need to get her under control.

Okay.

Mother.

Mother, where are you going?

Can’t you see? Upstairs to check on Jangmi.

Mother…she’s doing fine.

She’s sleeping leave her alone.

I just want to see her.

Mother, She’s already upset,

You’ll make it worse.

I’ll just peek through the door.

Why do you want to take a peek?

What’s wrong with you? What are you hiding?

My gosh. Mother! Mother!

Mother, Mother!

What are you doing?

What’s wrong with you? You’re acting weird.

Wh, what happened?

Where’s Jangmi? What happened?

Well, she…She went to …

…see Chorong, Mother.

So YOU let her go?

What am I supposed to do? She wouldn’t eat.

You, you really want to ruin Manjong’s life?

My gosh, I’ll phone Manjong and tell him to come at once.

Wait, I left the phone downstairs.

Mother, wait. You can’t!

What? My gosh. HEY!

Eh? Did you lock me in here?

Mother, I’m sorry.

You should’ve stayed downstairs.

What? Open the door!

I’m sorry, Mother.

Jangmi will be back soon, just wait a bit.

I need to go pee, open the door, now!

I need to use the restroom, open!

There’s a bowl in there. I cleaned it, use it.

You’re dead when Manjong comes.

When he comes home, you’re a dead meat!

Open the door!

What kind of daughter-in-law are you!

Everyone! Help me!

My gosh, help me! HELP!

The person who first wrote the article told us the truth.

He said Mr. Baek told him to go see the landlord.

Mr. Baek even gave him the address to the place.

How could he? We can’t let him get away.

Let’s put out a corrected article and tell the truth.

I can help you press charges against him too.

Thank you for offering.

But Sir…

I don’t want to press charges or correct the rumor.

What are you talking about?

Jangmi is my daughter’s mother.

I can’t do that to Jangmi.

If I wait, the rumors will fade.

If I tell the truth now she’ll have to face the backlash.

Plus, we’re not setting good examples as a parent…

Chadol, I understand what you mean, you can leave.

Okay, Sir.

I thought you wanted to see me, why was he here?

You should know, you’re pretty thick-skinned.

Thick-skinned?

I’m a very busy man, don’t waste my time.

Mr. Baek.

You think you can step on other people.

For your gain? And for your daughter’s sake?

What?

You say you want to serve the country.

But you spread false rumors and buy people off.

You really embarrass the rest of us.

What did you say?

Watch it, Mr. Baek!

You have no idea how upset I am right now.

I can crush you into pieces at any moment.

But I’m holding back for Chadol’s sake.

Who are you to get involved in a private matter?

Are you his father or something?

As a citizen of the district, I’m warning you so listen:

You should know your boundaries and keep it.

If you keep doing this, you’ll get caught.

And there will be no mercy then.

You better stay out, if you want to keep your company running.

It won’t do you any good if you become my enemy.

He thinks he owns the world?

Lecturing me about ethics when he’s a cheater himself.

Just wait, after I win, I won’t let him continue his business here.

What a perfect timing.

Man up! You little rat.

I’m not afraid of you.

I’m not choosing silence for your sake.

It’s to protect my daughter from the public.

And for Jangmi…

…To protect her.

But that’s my limit.

Don’t test my patience, I won’t let it go next time.

That bastard…

Excuse me… you know me, right?

Yes.

Where’s Chadol? I can’t find him and his phone’ s off.

Can’t you see?

How can he come out to the store with all this?

Do you know who did this?

Your so-called fans did all this.

They come every day and vandalize our store.

When they see Chadol, they throw things and swear at him.

People are asking for refunds on the shoes.

Our business’s about to go bankrupt.

Now, you tell me.

What has Chadol done wrong? Hm?

Say something!

Don’t tell me you didn’t know this would happen.

You think I’m exaggerating?

Let me show you.

Is this where Jangmi used to live?

Yes, it is. She lived here 4 years ago.

But the guy left her.

No way… how…

Chorong, you met Jangmi at school?

Yeah, she came to my school.

She said she’s my mom.

Where’d Jangmi go? You should’ve brought her.

Well, I guess you couldn’t do that to her.

I explained Chadol’s situation to her.

She said she’ll handle it.

Chorong, what did you two talk about?

She said she’ll save Daddy.

She said she was sorry to the both of us.

That she’ll be back after saving him.

She said that?

Yeah.

It’s me.

Can we meet? I’ve got to talk about Chadol.

Really?

It was Mr. Baek…

… He was behind those rumors?

Yeah.

No way…

I had my suspicion but how can he do that to Chadol?

But Chadol didn’t want to do anything about it?

You raised him well.

He wants to protect his ex, his kid’s mother.

He thinks she’ll have to suffer the aftermath.

I think I can understand that.

That’s not raising him well.

He’s too nice and he’s an idiot.

His business’s about to fail but he’s concerned about her?

How stupid of him!

Shinae…I thought you should know. Don’t cry…

It’s only natural for me to feel awkward around him.

He is my sister’s son, I should reach out to him.

Mr. Koh, what’s for lunch?

I’m sorry. I’ve got a lunch appointment today.

With who? A guy or a girl?

Enjoy your lunch everyone. I’ve got to go.

Okay.

Soontaek, let’s go. I’ll buy you lunch.

Really?

Where are you going?

You said you’re buying.

What? I never said I’ll buy you. Let’s go.

She’s such a jerk, it’s just lunch.

Excuse me, Mr. Kim.

As you know…

I’m the president’s step-son, we’re a family, you see.

Why do I need a proof?

It’s a standard procedure, required by HR, it’s our policy.

What kind of job is this? It’s a waste of time.

Mr. Kim!

What’s going on?

Uncle.

He’s asking for a doc to prove my relation to you.

Why should I? I’m Mom’s son.

What? I did it too.

No exception, get it ready.

What?

Mr. Kim, do you mind if I take him out for lunch?

Not at all, Mr. Koh.

How’s work?

It’s just manual labor. I’m doing it for Mom’s sake.

I guess…

You’re comfortable calling my sister Mom.

You two lived apart for 28 years, isn’t it awkward?

No, what else am I supposed to call Mom? Mrs. Lee?

I see.

Something’s off, something’s not right.

He’s not being genuine.

He feels like he’s faking it but I can’t pin point what it is.

Uncle, what are you doing?

White hair, you’ve got to pluck these.

Don’t let them stick around.

White hair?

Yeah, exactly.

I don’t care.

Really? I should’ve left it then.

Sorry, eat some more.

Sara, did you not eat?

No. I lost my appetite.

Funny.

I ate a lot more than usual.

Probably because I didn’t have to stare at someone’s face.

That explains why you haven’t been losing weight.

What? What did you say?

Sara, who asked you about your opinion?

Is this how you want to play?

Mrs. Yoon, calm down.

What do you know?

I naturally have a bigger frame. You’re like a walking skeleton!

That’s all just an excuse.

Your body doesn’t lie, you know?

What?

Who asked you for your input about my figure?

Ms. Yoon!

That’s enough, both of you!

Mr. Koh, get out of the way.

- Mr. Koh! - Mr. Koh, I’m sorry.

Where’s the hair?

Wait, eh? Where’d it go? The hair, the hair!

This is mine! Where’d it go! I lost it!

Yes, what is it?

Grandma, this sucks!

What do you mean? Explain!

You know I do manual labor in the storage?

You work in the storage?

No. I had no idea.

It already sucks working here doing all this.

But my manager now wants document to prove that we’re a family.

Your son took a strand of my hair too. This is ridiculous!

What? Jaedong took your hair?

Yeah.

I think he’s suspicious of me.

What if they find out and sue me for being a fraud!

Seunghyun, calm down. I won’t let that happen.

You sure?

Don’t worry. Take my words.

I’ll handle the paper work so don’t worry. Okay?

Why’s Jaedong doing this…

… Taking his hair?

Is he trying to run DNA tests?

How dare you lock me in here.

I’ve never heard of a daughter-in-law that does this!

You think you’ll be safe once I get out?

Mother… eat this.

It’s your favorite, pumpkin porridge and rice drink.

Is this some kind of a game to you?

Not at all. Don’t say that, Mother.

Then open the door.

I will, when Jangmi comes back.

So don’t waste your energy and stay quiet.

You, you! I’ll make you pay for this!

I won’t stop Manjong when he kicks you out!

Okay, okay, Mother.

You’re a dead meat when my son gets back.

You think you’re safe?

Everyone! Hear me out!

Why’s she not picking up? She’s taking a while.

Hello?

Chadol.

Are you with Jangmi?

No.

Jangmi went to go see you but I haven’t heard from her.

Did she call?

I’m not sure, my phone’s been off.

Really?

It won’t look pretty if she’s not back soon.

Chadol… I’m sorry to ask you.

But do you think you can find her?

Okay, I will.

So my father asked you to testify?

Yeah.

He was pleading with me. He was trying to save you.

But I couldn’t sleep a day since then.

I know how hard that guy raised the baby.

I feel like I made him look terrible.

Anyway…

Give this back to him.

I didn’t spend a dime, it should all be there.

Honestly though, you’re the one that took off.

I don’t want to get involved so don’t come back here.

Oppa.

Jangmi, where are you?

Oppa, I’m sorry.

I can’t let you suffer anymore…

I’ll tell the truth…

I don’t understand how my father did this.

No, Jangmi. You’re mistaken. He wouldn’t do this.

You’re making me feel worse.

Jangmi…

I don’t want you to come out with the truth.

I just want you to be happy.

So don’t do this, okay? I beg you.

Oppa…

Jangmi, where are you? I’ll come get you.

Your mom’s worried about you.

Oppa, I’ve got to go. Sorry.

Jangmi! Jangmi!

All my life, I lived with integrity.

Now as your servant!

I will make everyone in our district rich!

Everyone!

Please pick candidate no. 1 Manjong Baek!

I want to truly be your servant, everyone!

Are you okay?

What’s the rest of the schedule?

I think you should take the day off and rest.

Open the door… Open it…

What do I do…

Open the door… I said open it…

Open it at once…

If I open it… you’ll call Manjong.

Mother, it hurts your throat if you yell.

Just wait until Jangmi comes back.

- Mother. - Oh, what do I do.

You’re dead now. MANJONG!

I’m right here, Manjong!

Mother.

Mother, Mother.

Mother, don’t say a word and stay still.

No good can come from him kicking me out. Right?

Now you’re threatening me?

Manjong!

You’re home early.

Didn’t you say you had a full day?

He’s not feeling well, we canceled the rest of the event.

Really? So he’s going to stay?

Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m dying.

Mr. Oh, I’m sorry. You should go.

Okay, Sir. Rest up and I’ll see you tomorrow.

What’s Jangmi doing?

Ja, Jangmi? She’s asleep.

Mother?

She went out for a walk.

Go in your room and rest.

You don’t look great.

You must be drained. Go rest…

Sleep, I’ll make you some soup.

Don’t worry and sleep, okay?

I can’t do this.

What is it? Huh? What is it?

I can’t let Chilsung Group slip away like this.

Only Jangmi can convince Mr. Lee.

But Jangmi, she’s asleep right now.

Then I’ll wake her up.

My gosh…

Manjong… Manjong… Manjong…

What’s that?

What do you mean?

I didn’t hear anything.

Sounds like Mother.

Mother? Mother?

Honey, Honey.

Mother?

I told you she’s out.

Manjong… Manjong…

You heard that right?

Hear what?

I heard there are cats in the neighborhood.

Must be a cat.

Manjong… Manjong…

This sounds like my mother.

Mother, Mother where are you?

Mother! Mother!

This is nuts, what do I do!

Mother, Mother.

Manjong… Manjong…

Is that you?

Hey Manjong… get me out of here.

Mother, how…

How are you in there?

Mother, Mother!

- Mother…Mother… - Manjong… Manjong…

Mother,… how’d you end up here?

Your voice is gone.

Geumja…

She locked me in there.

What? Geumjae did this?

Yeah…

She must’ve lost her mind.

Why? What for?

Because she let Jangmi out.

She was stopping me from calling you.

What did you say?

Jangmi… Jangmi… where is she?

GEUMJA SO! GEUMJA SO!

Is it true? You let her out?

Where did she go? Where did she go!

Well…

… She just wanted to see Chorong…

Cho, Chorong?

Are you kidding me?

Do you know what you’ve done?

Ah!

Manjong! Manjong!

Blood… Blood… I’m bleeding!

Your nose’s bleeding!

My gosh… my gosh…

Geumja… my gosh…

How… How can he… do this?

Mom… Mom…

Geumja, what are you doing? Don’t do this.

Geumja, Geumja… Geumja!

Don’t go. Where will you go?

I can’t stand this anymore. I won’t tolerate this!

Why do you think he’s upset?

It’s because Jangmi wants to tell the truth.

The engagement’s about to get called off.

He might not win the election now.

So he beats me up?

I can’t live with a violent man like him.

Hey, hey… he didn’t beat you up.

It was just a light bump on your head.

Mother, you saw me bleed. My nose was bleeding.

Can’t you let it go this once. For my sake…

When I was marrying him.

I know I came empty handed without any dowry.

But I did all the house chores by myself.

I never asked for a maid, not even once.

I even took care of you and I tolerated his temper.

But I can’t justify this!

No, Geumja. I can’t live without you here.

Let me go, Mother.

Hey, Geumja. Geumja, come on!

What do I do?

Then let me come with you. Geumja, Geumja!

What’s this?

Your favorite, isn’t this?

You’re right. It is.

Sis…

I had lunch with Seunghyun today.

You did? You took him out?

Yeah.

Thank you. I appreciate that Jaedong.

Don’t mention it, I’m his uncle too.

Was he really excited to see you?

Huh?

Yeah.

But you have no problem accepting him as a son?

What do you mean?

I feel a bit awkward. He came out of the blue.

That’s only natural.

He lived a different life style.

We both have to work hard to make up for that.

But you…

You did the DNA tests and stuff, right?

Even better than a DNA test.

Something better?

What is it?

It’s a bracelet that I made him with his name.

He knew and knew the Bamtol.

The name Bamtol?

Yeah, only Mom and I knew about that bracelet.

If he knew about the name… then that’s 100%.

Yeah, so warm up to him, Jaedong.

Okay, I will.

What are you talking about?

About Seunghyun.

Seunghyun?

Yeah, that he knew about the bracelet.

Only you two knew about the bracelet, right?

Huh? Yeah.

Hey, you.

Did you take Seunghyun’s hair? Is that true?

Huh? Yeah.

He told you that?

Where’d you put it?

I don’t know, I lost it.

That’s enough! That must’ve offended him.

I just kept having this feeling.

So I was going to run tests.

But now that I heard the story, there’s no need.

I just find it hard to warm up to him though.

I don’t want you to tell the truth.

I just want you to be happy.

Tell him to tell the truth.

It was you that ran away leaving them behind.

Hello?

Jangmi Baek?

Yes.

This is she.

I have information about your baby that you’d want to know.

What?

My dad instructed you to leave the baby at a baby box.

Yeah.

That Mr. Park…

That man with a daughter.

He told me to steal his baby and to drop it off at a baby box.

She’s your daughter, right?

I know it’s hard to believe that your father would do this.

So I brought you another proof.

Here is the 100 million.

This is the first and the last.

I never asked you to abandon the baby.

And we should never see each other, okay?

I already made a deal with him.

But I feel like I should be talking to you instead.

About what?

You got that marriage with Chilsung.

And you need to maintain your career as a celebrity.

If the world finds out, you’ll lose both.

Give me 200 million. That’s all I ask for.

There’s no need. Do whatever you want.

What, what?

I’m going to tell the media.

Go ahead.

I’ll also report you to the cops.

I’ve got evidence too so do what you wish.

Damn it.

Yes, Dad.

Where are you?

I’m on my way home.

Jangmi, where have you been?

You didn’t do anything stupid, right?

Jangmi, don’t you know that I love you the most?

This is all for you and for our family’s sake.

Dad, the article that says Chadol left me and stole Chorong.

That false article…

Are you behind that?

I just talked to the landlord.

Yeah, it was me.

Why? Why else but for you?

If that rumor prevailed, your career would’ve been over.

None of us could walk around with our heads up.

What about Chadol?

What about Chorong’s future?

That’s none of my business.

They’re made for a rough life, not you.

Is that why you stole Chorong and abandon her?

What? Who told you that?

The person you paid to do that, the person you gave 100 million to.

How could you… How could you do that? HOW?

Fine.

He couldn’t even afford to feed the poor thing.

So I sent the baby off to a shelter to be taken care of.

What are taxes for? Why do we need a government?

It’s all because ignorant people like him need our help.

What?

Am I wrong?

Dad.

Go apologize to Chadol.

And correct the rumors.

Apologize for WHAT!

He ruined your life, can’t you see?

I’ve got no reason to apologize to him.

How can you do this…

Fine.

If you’re not willing then I’ll just have to make you.

What?

Watch me.

Jangmi… where are you going?

Jangmi… Jangmi Baek.

Jangmi Baek!

Jangmi! Jangmi! Jangmi!

Mr. Kim, it’s me Jangmi.

I want to confess the truth about my past.

I’m calling a press conference.

Ms. Baek’s holding a press conference about her rumors.

What?

- Get the car ready. - Okay.

Yes.

Jangmi’s holding a press conference, what is this about?

What? A press conference?

You’ve got to stop her. Where’s it at?

[Temporarily Closed]

Yes, hello?

It was you! You bastard!

Calm down, what are you talking about?

You’ve got to stop Jangmi.

She’s holding a conference for you!

You want her to save your life at a cost of her own?

Is this what you want?

If you don’t stop her, I’ll kill you!

Chadol, where are you going?

No, Jangmi, don’t!

Mr. Lee.

Jangmi, I heard about the press conference.

Is this about the rumors about Mr. Park and the kid?

Yeah. It’s time that I tell the truth.

Don’t do it…

What?

I thought long and hard.

I was upset at the fact that they lied to me.

But you were brave enough to speak honestly.

And that’s what I like about you.

I’ve decided to put this whole incident behind us.

Mr. Lee…

So let’s not hold a press conference.

Let’s…

…Get engaged as planned.

I’m so sorry but I can’t do that.

This was my mistake.

I hurt him and my child, I won’t repeat the same mistake.

I’ll cover it up and protect him.

So stay out of it. You can compensate in other ways.

I’m sorry…

Jangmi… is this how selfish you are?

Can’t you consider what this would mean to your father?

You’ll be my fiance and your father’s a politician.

You’ve got to consider him.

And my company’s reputation too.

But I can’t do this anymore.

I won’t sin anymore.

I’m sorry.

If you leave…

Then it’s really over between us. You want that?

Jangmi Baek!

Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee.

You’ve got to stop this. You can stop this.

It’s over between us.

I’ve no business in her life.

Mr… Mr. Lee…

I’d like to tell the truth about the rumors about my past.

My ex did not leave me or took my child away.

No, Jangmi!

Jangmi… Jangmi…

The fact is… I’m the one that left the baby.

The child’s father should not be blamed for anything.
